Prayer Guide and Devotional – August 18, 2023
Acts 14:23
So when they had appointed elders in every church, and prayed with fasting, they commended them to the Lord in whom they had believed.
Acts thru August
Paul and Barnabas were going through out the region making converts to Jesus and creating local churches. It was very important to set leadership in each of those churches because once Paul and Barnabas left, without setting people in charge, there would potentially be chaos. You need to have leadership to make decisions and enforce the rules. And they did not just point to someone, make them a leader, and leave. There had to be a time of prayer over these new leaders. It is very important when making any decisions to pray to the Lord to make the right decision and to pray for these new leaders so they are Godly people and are true to God’s Word. Then, Paul and Barnabas commended them to the Lord or hand them over to the Lord since they were now His church leaders. Paul and Barnabas were busy moving from area to area and could not stay at one church to supervise it. They needed people in charge they could trust.
Lord, I pray for the leadership teams of every one of Your churches Lord. I pray they always look to You for guidance and they are all Godly people. Help them to teach Your Word to the people and help them to live Your Word. In Jesus name, Amen!!
