The Mandate: “As each one has received a gift, minister it to one another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God” (1 Peter 4: 10). Church of God World Missions/Church of God Prayer Ministries – www. cogwm. org www. praycog. org

The Meditation: • PASTOR: Lord, show us the “gift” you have given to each one of us – leading, comforting and encouraging, thinking critically, teaching, managing and making money (giving), serving, whatever it is. • PEOPLE: Forgive us for using gifts, talents, abilities, and even acquired skills in the market place and not in your kingdom. Some among us have never seen our own gift-set that draws us to like our job or makes us effective in some role as God-given. But it is. And it belongs to you. • PASTOR: Some of us have no idea how the work we do during the week relates to your kingdom. Work is sacred to you. You made us to work! To be productive. • PEOPLE: Help us to discover your kingdom on our jobs, to see the relationship between our daily tasks and your lifetime purposes for us. Help us to see that you planted us throughout culture. We are missionaries to that social sector. Help us to stop compartmentalizing our lives between the sacred and the secular, between Sunday and Monday. Every day is holy to you.
