Day 5 | Kingdom Growth

"Doing the work of God is dangerous…not doing it is more dangerous.”

Wow!  How true is that statement?  I know that it means more to me now than ever before to serve God in spite of the danger around me.  I’ve done an evaluation in my own life of what it means to serve God even when it’s dangerous.

What would happen if I die?
Would my family be okay?  
How will I be remembered?
Was it really worth dying for?

Today our prayer is that kingdom work continues to go on; that God’s will for the world and all of mankind is achieved – no matter the cost.  In many places around the world, serving God comes at a great cost, with great risk. However, the work must go on.  Christians must stand up and point people to Christ, using whatever means possible, no matter how dangerous or difficult that task may seem.

Throughout all of history we have seen God’s hand at work through different people, different nations, different ministries, even different humanitarian aid organizations – all to bring good and glory to His name.  We know that we at Casas are not the end all and be all of ministries.  There are hundreds and thousands of organizations, groups and churches out there serving God in different ways, but still with one common purpose – to proclaim His name.

Our prayer today is to lift up all of the kingdom work going on across the world.  We pray that Christ is evident in their work; that it is done to bring glory to His name and that others may know of His love and grace, whatever the cost.  
Thanks for joining in our 21 Days of Prayer.
