P-Lord, increase our respecThursday June 24, 2010 2 Kings 11,12 2 Chron 24:1 Tim: 6 Respect & Honor

S- 1Tim 6:2 Those who have believing masters are not to show less respect for them because they are brothers. Instead, they are to serve them even better, because those
who benefit from their service are believers, and dear to them. These are the things you are to teach.t and honor for our Pastors and leaders. Help us to serve them with a joyous heart and to do all things without complaining and mumbling.
We pray for those that you have called to serve for your kingdom, and ask a 10 fold blessing upon them, and may we openly bless those who you whisper in our ear
for us to bless.
O- Paul is saying to Timothy to be sure that the servants respects their leaders. Sad that he would have to say that, but Christian believer's have been known to disrepect and
talk badly about those that are the leaders. Paul, strongly tells Timothy that this is not good, we need to honor God by honoring and respecting those He has placed in charge.
Paul says, for it is the believer's who benefit, because true Godly leaders, love those that serve, and we benefit.
Also, we come into the world with nothing and we will leave with nothing. To take what we have and
use it freely for the kingdom, and we would surley be blessed here on earth.

A- We are fortunate to have leaders who want what God wants, and who seek to find what He wants and do their best to follow His heart. We need to keep our hearts
clean even when we do not agree with decisions or if the music is too loud, or if the order of service is not the way we like it. God says to honor and respect those we serve,
and this will honor Him. It is easy to submit when you agree, but God calls us to submit even when we dont, and do it with joy, because that is what pleases Him. Do not
hold on to your treasures and your money here on earth, fo it is worth nothing when you die. The worth comes from what you did with it while you were here.

P-Lord, increase our respect and honor for our Pastors and leaders. Help us to serve them with a joyous heart and to do all things without complaining and mumbling. We pray for those that you have called to serve for your kingdom, and ask a 10 fold blessing upon them, and may we openly bless those who you whisper in our ear for us to bless.
