Jul 11, 2008 11:12 pm		Classic Brandon Bracey Devotion(6/24/04): Lifting Up Our Online Ministry Groups.
Brandon Bracey		Exodus 17:12, " But Moses' hands were heavy and grew weary. So ( the other men) took a stone and put it under him and he sat on it. Then Aaron and Hur held up his hands, one one one side and one on the other side; so his hands were steady until the going down of the sun." I was thinking this morning about a time when I was a teenager. I went with my brother and cousin to a skating rink. The unfortunate part was that I was no world class skater, but I was holding my own. On the skating rink, everyone was continously skating around the rink in a circle to some music. I kept skating and skating as I enjoyed myself. Suddenly, a little kid came and clipped me! I fell to the ground like a bag of bricks! I was embarrassed, but it was also a lot of fun at the same time. The kid did not mean it and even though I fell, and he did too, he got up and gave me a hand and helped lift me back up to my feet. That kid was being courteous and kind. I was grateful that he helped me back up. When the Isrealites fought with Amalek , Moses stood on the top of the hill and held up his hand in order to help the Isrealites prevail. Hur and Aaron were with Moses and as Moses hand got weary, Aaron and Hur helped him by holding them up. By doing this on both sides Moses' hands were able to stay steady. This made me think about our on- ministry groups. Let's see there are so many of them aren't they? You have the Yahoo groups, MSN groups, injesus groups, and ryze network. There may possibly be more groups that I have forgotten or do not know of. We have all these online groups, but this is what came up in my spirit. When is the last time we lifted each other up in prayer? You may pray for your group, but how about the others? I had to be completely honest with God and myself and admit I did not always pray for other groups online. So this morning I made up my mind that I would start this morning praying for other ministry groups daily. Why you ask would I do this? Because you are my brother and sister in Christ and I love you in Christ and I want you to be blessed and used abundantly for the building of the Kingdom of God. It's not enough for me to look out for the interests of my own ministry. The Bible says in Phil. 2:3-5, " Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves. Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others. Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus..." It's not about my ministry doing or being better than yours. We are all apart of the body of Christ and we all have a role to play and if we are competing against one another, instead of praying for one another, there is no way we can have a attitude of love just like Jesus. Together we can accomplish more than we ever could separated. Brothers and Sisters I am simply doing the Golden Rule found in Matthrew 7:12 and doing unto you what I would want you doing unto me. I want you praying for me and my ministry daily that we may be used in a mighty way for the glory of God. So, therefore I will pray the same for you in love. This thing is really about walking in love saints. We are often separated by denomination, race, culture, religion, etc. It's about time we bind a strong cord that cannot be broken and is tied together by love. Saints let's pray for one another daily. Let's pray for our ministries daily, that corporately we can win this whole world for Jesus Christ! And as we lift each other up in pray I am believing by faith that just like Moses's hands, our ministries will be strong and steady. Jesus prays for us so we should be praying for each other. And when you pray do it in faith and have the right heart. This is my challenge to you today and if you answer watch how God moves! If may be reading this and saying, " I am ready to receive Jesus into my heart." If that is you, this is your opportunity. Please pray with me: Dear Lord, I come before you seeking your face. Jesus I need you now. I can't wait another minute or hour. I need you now. Jesus please forgive me of all wrongdoing and come into my heart and be my Lord and Savior. I want a fresh start in life and I want to live a life that's pleasing to you. Thank you Jesus. Amen. If you have just prayed this simple prayer, congratulations and welcome to the family! You are born again and have a new beginning! Please email me at: Brandon_Bracey00@yahoo.com so I can continue to assist you in your new beginning!
