“Dear brothers and sisters, honor those who are your leaders in the Lord’s work. They work hard among you and give you spiritual guidance.” – 1 Thessalonians 5:12 (NLT)
Nang binasa ko po ito, maraming bagay ang aking naalala na ginawang kabutihan ang Diyos sa aking buhay. Nagkaroon ako ng asawa at ngayon, may tatlong anak na. Dahil po sa mga Spiritual Leaders, nainspire ako na maglingkod sa Panginoon. Sila po ang tumulong that my faith grow stronger. Our elders, our ministry leaders in the church, mga Pastor na nakasama before and until now, sila po ang nagdala sa akin na makilala ang ultimate Leader na si Hesu- Cristo. Praise God po sa buhay nila. May tatlong testimony ako. Una, nagpaalam ako na mag-aasawa ako, the whole church and our leaders prayed for it. After more or less than one year, God answered. Praise God. Pangalawa, after one year ng kasal naming, dahil wala pa kaming anak, our leaders and the church nagpray ulit. Answered prayer ulit. Pangatlo, hindi inaasahan ang pangatlong pagbubuntis ng aking asawa kaya request ulit ng prayer sa church, prayer meeting, BS group prayer, personal prayer and also in prayer and fasting. Praised God answered prayer pa rin. To God be the Glory! That’s how I much appreciated our spiritual leaders. They lead us to have church services, to have regular BS, prayer meetings, and fasting.
Prayer:
Dear Lord, our heavenly Father, thank you for placing Christian leaders in my life who love and care about me and my family. I have been shaped by their wisdom, compassion, kindness, and selfless love. Today, I ask that you would show me how I can bless our leaders just like they have blessed me. Let my gratitude remind them that they are seen, valued, and known. Encourage them when they feel worn out, and renew their strength when they’re overwhelmed. Give rest to those who need it, and remind them of your promises. Bless their families, strengthen their ministries and expand their influence for Your Glory. In Jesus name, Amen.
