One
Accord Prayer – week of 1/5/09
This past summer I received a little book entitled
“The Wonderful Names of Our Wonderful Lord”.
It is a daily devotional that looks at all the things Jesus is called
throughout Scripture. Some are actual
names or titles that we have studied before but others are those foreshadowing
representations of Jesus the Messiah. I
don’t plan to go through the book beginning to end right now but just to pick
some favorites along the way! But let’s
do start at the beginning…
The Seed of the Woman – Genesis 3:15 “And I will put enmity between you and
the woman, and between your seed and her seed;”
Jesus came from the bosom of the Father to become the “seed of the
woman”. What great humility! What great obedience! What great love!
PRAISE – Praising God for who He is,
His attributes, His name, and His character.
He
is the humble seed of woman.
Who, although He
existed in the form of God did not regard equality with God a thing to be
grasped, but emptied Himself, taking the form of a bond-servant, and being made
in the likeness of men. Philippians
2:6-7
SILENT CONFESSION – Confess any lack of humility.
Matthew 23:12 “And whoever
exalts himself shall be humbled; and whoever humbles himself shall be exalted.”
THANKSGIVING - always giving thanks for all things in
the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to God, even the Father Ephesians 5:20
INTERCESSION - Praying for Our Children and others: That they will
walk in humility, not exalting or promoting themselves.
Philippians
2:3-7 Do nothing from selfishness or
empty conceit, but with humility of mind let each of you regard one another as
more important than himself; do not merely look out for your own personal
interests, but also for the interests of others. Have this attitude in yourselves which was
also in Christ Jesus, who, although He existed in the form of God did not
regard equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied Himself,
taking the form of a bond-servant, and being made in the likeness of men.
PERSONAL
INTERCESSION – Psalm 55:22 Cast your
burden upon the Lord, and He will sustain you;
Gal. 6:2 Bear one another’s burdens, and
thus fulfill the law of Christ.
