To the men and leaders of our church:

To the leaders and men of our church:

Would to God, as Moses said, "that all the LORD’S people were prophets, and that the LORD would put his spirit upon them!"  So, we must pray that the Lord would put His Spirit upon the men in our church, upon ourselves first and foremost, that we might walk in humility, holiness and thereby lead by our example and precept.  We who are serving as officers feel our weakness and our sins are always before us.  Knowing ourselves to be far from what we should be, let us seek more of God's grace, more of His Spirit to serve him in the fear of the Lord and faithfulness to his cause and gratitude for such a great salvation.

God, breath new life into the men of this church, that they might have your Spirit upon them in great measure and that they might commit themselves to doing whatever you call them to do in your church.  May each of us hear the still small voice calling us to lay down our lives for our brethren for the sake of Christ and his glory. Amen.
