Prayer for leaders

 "Remember your leaders, those who spoke to you the Word of God. Consider the outcome of their way of life, and imitate their faith. Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever" Hebrews 13:7-8

Per Strongs, the word for remember has the sense of being mindful of, thinking about, pondering. Yes, there was a time, for most of us, when we did not know the Word of the Lord, and God used another believer to share with us the best news of all time! How often do we thank God for that person? They, by the integrity of their walk, have shown us the way that we should go. How can we honor them today?

The Jesus they shared with us is the same Jesus we now share with others. When we are out in the field, doing a blitz, or encountering people in our daily walk, we can call to mind that we are not sharing words about Christ so much as we are presenting to them the very Person of Christ. He said, "If I be lifted up from the Earth, I will draw all men unto me". When we are sharing His Word, He is right there with us. We need not think ahead of time about what we will say, for His Word indwells us, and gives our mouth utterance. 

Thus we honor those who have graced us with God's word. We remember them by doing what they did for us when we share the Lord Jesus with others.
