Honor Begets Honored

Father, thank You for accepting us into Your family by virtue of the life, death and resurrection of Christ. We pray that You would make us worthy by gracing us to suffer in behalf of Christ and His glorious kingdom. We pray for Your power to enable us to do all the good things that You have put in our hearts to do by increasing our love for Jesus so that we want to do His will more than our own. Father, You are good and kind. Help us honor Christ by being good and kind to others in our words and deeds. If we bring honor to the LORD Jesus, He will bring honor to us when He returns in glory. Nothing is more important to us than to hear Him say, “Well done, thou good and faithful servant.” May the name of Jesus be glorified by the power of His indwelling presence. In Jesus name we pray. Amen!

[Based on Paul’s prayer for the Thessalonians. II Thess. 1:11-12]

Hallelujah: A Prayer Of Praise

[Based on Revelation 19]

We praise You Father because all glory, honor, power and salvation belong to YOU! All your judgments are true, right and just. YOU will bring down the world system that operates like a prostitute by corrupting everything that it touches with lust. We praise YOU that one day You will separate us from all those who hate and despise Christ. We long for the day when you bring all of us together who love and adore YOUR SON. We praise YOU  God for all those who honor the name of Christ, those who humbly obey His commands and share His good news. We praise YOU that there is none beside You and none above You: You are the LORD God omnipotent, the almighty, the all-powerful One. Father You are greater than any problem and more powerful than sin itself. We rejoice in Your omnipotence and we are happy to give You glory. All glory and praise to the LAMB that was slain, who has cleansed every sin and removed every stain. Hallelujah, You deserve the glory. We rejoice and praise You for choosing us to be the bride of Christ and for providing for us a wedding garment, the precious blood of Christ. Father, we worship and adore YOU, we lay our lives before YOU. LORD Jesus, we worship and adore YOU and lay our crowns before YOU. You are our only sovereign: we need no crown. Glorify Your name in us O KING of kings and LORD of lords.
