Prayer.
As Coordinator of Lay Ministry here at Ogden, I just wanted to let you know what God has placed on my heart when it comes to this position. I was charged to inspire and involve EVERY member of Ogden in ministry. This is ministry could simply be within the church or within our community and in this world. I feel like God has called every Christian into ministry. God gifts all church members to perform the ministry to which He calls them. The Church possesses every gift needed to perform whatever task God calls us to do.
So there is the key . . . What GOD calls us to do. I feel very passionately that God is calling us to throw down our good ideas and pick up what He desires us to do. But to do this we must be listening. Jim Cymbala in his book Fresh Wind, Fresh Fire explains “If we call upon the Lord, he has promised in his Word to answer, to bring the unsaved to himself, to pour out his Spirit among us. If we don’t call upon the Lord, he has promised nothing – nothing at all. It’s as simple as that. The future will depend upon out ties of prayer.”
God has placed it on my heart to call the church to be a people of prayer. I encourage you to seek the Lord like never before for Ogden as a church body working in unity to further His Kingdom. With that said, we will be starting a prayer meeting every Tuesday nights at 7pm in the sanctuary. I urge every single person that is receiving this contact to come and pray. We will be praying that He will give us the skills to cut out His pattern for our ministry and our church.
“You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart” Jeremiah 29:13. Let us seek Him with ALL of our heart.
