Philip is a great
example of someone who is ready and willing to proclaim Christ and live on
mission. In Acts 8:26-40, Philip responds obediently to God’s leading and finds
himself in a position to lead an Ethiopian man to faith in Jesus. In God’s
wisdom and grace, He orchestrates this meeting between Philip and the
Ethiopian. Because Philip understood his servant identity and embraced his
commissioning and empowering, a man was gloriously saved from the wrath of God.
Please join with your church family this week in prayer, asking God to help you
be sensitive to His prompting and faithful to proclaim Christ.

Prayer Guide: March 11,
2018 – Acts 8:26-40
1. Worship the
everlasting God who is both infinitely majestic and actively involved in our
lives for our good.
2. Praise God for His
Spirit and His Word. Give thanks to God that He does not leave us to our own wisdom
but has revealed Himself and His ways.
3. Ask God to help you
to be sensitive to His promptings in life. Confess to Him that too often you
live in selfish stubbornness rather than selfless submission.
4. Pray that God would
give you grace to more fully embrace your servant identity and His commission
on your life.
5. Pray for courage,
boldness and discipline when it comes to engaging in personal evangelism. Ask
God to remind you of your need of His Spirit.
6. Pray for people you
know who are apart from faith in Jesus. Ask the Spirit to open their eyes to
the truth of the gospel.
7. Ask God to do His
work of salvation and sanctification this week at TBC!
