Day 6 of 21 Days of Prayer
Responsible Faith
Then Jesus said to his disciples, “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me. (Matthew 16:24)
Being a disciple is not just being a part of the Kingdom of God; we are to help build it. Jesus makes it clear that by praying "your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven" that we are to participate in what God is doing here on earth. We need to take responsibility for that command. Today as you pray ask the Holy Spirit to show you the places in your life were you are not denying yourself. Then make the effort to pick up whatever "cross" Jesus is telling you to carry and begin to go where He leads. We have been given a precious gift. God expects us to use it to grow His Kingdom.
Calling ten of his [own] bond servants, he gave them ten minas [each equal to about one hundred days’ wages or nearly twenty dollars] and said to them, Buy and sell with these while I go and then return. (Luke 19:13 AMPC)
Throughout our 21 Days we will be using the book "Walking the Path of Prayer" by Jack Hayford as a guide.
