FIVE THINGS EVERY LEADER MUST DO
JOHN LINDELL
CHURCH MULTIPLICATION NETWORK: SESSION 1JUNE 15, 2017
PRIORITIZE PRAYER INTHE CHURCH.
ACTS 1:14 (ESV) “All these with one accord were devoting themselves to prayer, together with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and his brothers.”
PRAYER BRINGS UNITY!
PSALM 133:1-3 (NIV)“How good and pleasant it is when brothers live together in unity! It is like precious oil poured on the head, running down on the beard, running down on Aaron's beard, down upon the collar of his robes. It is as if the dew of Hermon were falling on Mount Zion. For there the Lord bestows his blessing, even life forevermore.”
ACTS 1:14 (ESV)“All these with one accord were devoting themselves to prayer, together with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and his brothers.”
ACTS 2:42 (ESV)“They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching, and to the fellowship, to the break of bread, and to prayer.”
LESSON: PEOPLE WILL NOTSHARE YOUR HEART UNTIL YOU
PRAY TOGETHER.
“The church that multiplies committees and neglects prayer may be fussy, noisy, enterprising, but it labors in vain and spends it strength for naught. It is possible to excel in mechanics and fail in dynamics. There is an abundance of machinery; what is [lacking] is power.”
~Samuel Chadwick
“The condition of the church may be very accurately gauged by its prayer meetings. So is the prayer meeting a grace-o-meter, and from it we may judge of the amount of divine working among a people. If God be near a church, it must pray. And if he is not there, one of the first tokens of his absence will be a slothfulness in prayer.”
~Charles H. Spurgeon
