Prayer and Fasting Focus: DAY 3: Ecosystems

Prayer and Fasting Focus: DAY 3: Ecosystems
Wednesday 04 January 2016

What is an Ecosystem? An ecosystem within Glory Ministries includes everyone functioning in their given area, interacting with each other. In an ecosystem, each person has its' own niche or role to play.

PRAYER FOCUS - Teamwork is all around us in life. We see it in marriages, businesses, neighborhoods, churches, etc. God loves to see Christians working together (like an ecosystem) submitting to His will. Think of Christianity as TM or Spar in the area where you stay.

There is one store, but there are many different departments within that store. One department can do things another cannot, but they still have the same goal. In the same vein in 'The Body of Christ' there is one body, but there are many different functions. God has blessed us all differently. Some people are preachers, givers, singers, advice givers, prayer warriors, etc - we need to become an ecosystem.

Scriptures:
There is one body and one Spirit- just as you were called to one hope when you were called- one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all. Ephesians 4:3-6

Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor: If either of them falls down, one can help the other up. But pity anyone who falls and has no one to help them up. Also, if two lie down together, they will keep warm. But how can one keep warm alone?Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.

Ecclesiastes 4:9-12 New International Version (NIV)

Our Prayer As Glory Ministries:

Lord, We want to thank You in advance for bringing into Glory Ministries the team members that we need to fulfill the vision You have put into our hearts. We do not want to run this race by alone. We realize that even though we can do part of the assigned task alone, the greatest results can only be achieved with a team that is united into an ecosystem. Help us to adjust our thinking so that we can think like team members. Lead our teams and and our leaders into a true sense of unity-ecosystem so that maximum power can be released through us to a world that desperately needs Jesus.
We pray this in Jesus’ name!
