Philippians 2:5-11
‘In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus: Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage; rather, he made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to death – even death on a cross! Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.’
What is God underlining to you about who Jesus is? Let your reflections lead to praise.
BLESS LIST
Who do you know that doesn’t yet know Jesus? Share one or two people God has placed in your life who don’t know Jesus (think of family members, friends, neighbours, colleagues), and then pray together for these people.
NEWDAY
… for our young people and team going to the Christian festival Newday next week…
YOUTH TEAM
• That God would strengthen them, protect them, refresh them, and give them everything they need throughout the week – power, wisdom, peace, joy, and surprisingly good sleep…
• That our team would have their own powerful encounters with God
YOUNG PEOPLE
• That all our young people would engage with the festival – for a great sense of family amongst them, and for no one to be left out
• For life-changing encounters with God – that we’d see salvation, healing, re-commitments to Jesus, the power of God at work
SUNDAY MEETINGS
• For the tangible, life-changing presence of God amongst us
• For Ayodeji as he preaches, that he’d know the power of the Spirit as he prepares and as he speaks
• For all those serving in different roles, including Paul and the band leading us in worship, John & Ida leading the meeting, and all our teams
• For the sick to be healed, the hurting to be comforted, captives to be set free, the lost to be saved
OUR CHURCH FAMILY
• That we would grow in our knowledge of God; that we would be strengthened by the power of God; that we’d display the joy and love of God; and that we would be fruitful for God.
