Good morning fight club. It’s another great day to fight.
Today’s choice for president will lead to disappointment for some and relief for others. Despite your choice remember that our faith dictates how we use our freedom to choose and how we respond to things we did not choose for ourselves.
The most important choice that will be made today is to choose Jesus who first choose us over himself. If we’re going to let anyone choose the course of our life let it be Christ and him alone.
Pray this with me.
“Tell the righteous it will be well with them, for they will enjoy the fruit of their deeds.”
Isaiah 3:10
“You didn’t choose me. I chose you. I appointed you to go and produce lasting fruit, so that the Father will give you whatever you ask for, using my name.”
John 15:16 NLT
“May you always be filled with the fruit of your salvation—the righteous character produced in your life by Jesus Christ —for this will bring much glory and praise to God.”
Philippians 1:11 NLT
God today I thank you for your grace. God I thank you that it is your grace that both chooses us and changes us. Today I come to you Lord with thanksgiving and praise for choosing us for such a time as this. I thank you that even though we live in difficult times we have been chosen by you to live in these times and we have been chosen by you to rise and be accounted for as your chosen instruments to bring forth the gospel in these times.
As I rise to face another day of battle with cancer let me be reminded of the power of YOUR choice. I didn’t choose cancer. Help me to respond appropriately to the things I didn’t choose. Help my response to be a response of faith in YOUR choice. You chose for me to live during this time. You chose for me to carry this burden. You chose for me to live during this pandemic. Your choice for me is to produce fruit even in the most difficult of circumstances.
Today I pray for your servants. Those who stand in this fight with me. Those who you have called and chosen to carry the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Help them to stay encouraged and excited about the calling that you have chosen for us. Lord when the enemy seeks to discourage them strengthen them by reminding them that your word will NEVER return to you void and that it will accomplish everything that you sent it to do.
As we approach the choosing of a president let us be mindful of the choice that matters most. You chose the church to change the world. You chose your followers to preach the gospel. You chose us to make disciples. You chose your people to bring about your Kingdom.
So today we choose to live like your chosen people.
Satan today I stand against the spirit of discouragement. Our efforts are not wasted and our calling to minister the gospel is not meaningless. The results of a presidential election will not determine our behavior or our participation in the building of God’s kingdom.
I declare that anger, grief, or dissatisfaction will not overtake us and we will be encouraged and strengthened by the word of God.
You God are our King. Heaven is our home. We are citizens of your kingdom. We will represent you well. We will embrace the choice that you have made and that is to invite us to be full participants in your mission of making the world the place that you always intended it to be. We choose you. We choose your word. We choose your mission. Help us to produce fruit even in the face of challenges.
In Jesus name.
