Let us pray.
Father, in Jesus' name we pray for Celiazwood. As a group we are burdened that the request does not mention the name of Jesus Christ, Jesus, or Christ or an abbreviation such as INJ (In Jesus Name). We do not want you to think we are being nit picky or religious. But it is only by the name of Jesus that we have access to God. Also, there is no other name by which we can be saved. Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. (John 14:6 WEB)
And in none other is there salvation, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, in which we must be saved! (Acts 4:12 WEB)
For God so loved the world, that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life. (John 3:16 WEB)
That if you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart, one believes resulting in righteousness and with the mouth, one confesses resulting in salvation. For the Scripture says, "Whoever believes in him will not be disappointed. For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek for the same Lord is Lord of all, and is rich to all who call on him. For whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved. (Romans 10:9-13 WEB)
For the Scripture says, "Whoever believes in him will not be disappointed." (Romans 10:11 WEB)
To wit, that God was in Christ reconciling the world unto himself, not reckoning unto them their trespasses, and having committed unto us the word of reconciliation. We are ambassadors therefore on behalf of Christ, as though God were entreating by us: we beseech you on behalf of Christ, be ye reconciled to God. Him who knew no sin he made to be sin on our behalf; that we might become the righteousness of God in him. (2 Corinthians 5:19-21 WEB)
We believe that there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus who gave himself a ransom for all men. (1 Timothy 2:5,6)
Jesus therefore said, "When you have lifted up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am he, and I do nothing of myself, but as the Father taught me, I say these things. He who sent me is with me. He has not left me alone, for I always do the things that are pleasing to him." (John 8:28,29 WEB)
Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me. If you had known me, you would have known my Father also. From now on, you know him, and have seen him." (John 14:6,7 WEB)
Father we pray that you will open the eyes of Celiazwood to see that there is one mediator between God and man, the man Christ Jesus and that we must use his name when we pray. Whatsoever we ask in his name he hears us and the prayers of a righteous man avails much.
As far as the financial abundance, we pray that you will provide all the needs of Celiazwood according to your riches and glory. May your kingdom come and your will be done in the life of Celiazwood. May you provide for all the needs of Celiazwood.
Give us this day our daily bread. (Matthew 6:11 WEB)
Bring all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house, and test me now in this," says Yahweh of Armies, "if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there will not be room enough for. (Malachi 3:10 WEB)
But remember the LORD your God, for it is he who gives you the ability to produce wealth, and so confirms his covenant, which he swore to your ancestors, as it is today. (Deuteronomy 8:18 WEB)
Command those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but to put their hope in God, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment. Command them to do good, to be rich in good deeds, and to be generous and willing to share. In this way they will lay up treasure for themselves as a firm foundation for the coming age, so that they may take hold of the life that is truly life (1 Timothy 6:17-19)
We are not saying that it is wrong to desire financial abundance. But we receive it from you as our Father and provider. We do not receive it from the universe or some other source.
And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus. (Philippians 4:19 WEB)
Yahweh makes poor, and makes rich. He brings low, he also lifts up. He raises up the poor out of the dust. He lifts up the needy from the dunghill, to make them sit with princes, and inherit the throne of glory. For the pillars of the earth are Yahweh's. He has set the world on them. (1 Samuel 2:7-8 WEB)
Therefore do not be anxious, saying, 'What will we eat?','What will we drink?' or 'With what will we be clothed?' For the Gentiles seek after all these things, for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first God's Kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well. (Matthew 6:31-33 WEB)
