We can model the
character of Christ by the faith we show in our obedience to His Word. What we
see in Christ is our model of how we integrate or relate to people with whom we
have relationships. Being a peacemaker may not stop a war between nations, but
it will stop the wars in our churches. We may not stop the violence in the
streets, but we can create an environment of love and care that can provide an
atmosphere of cooperation and care that will lead to a non-violent neighborhood.
We have the God-given ability to be peacemakers to those around us. This is not
a special spiritual gift or ability, although some people are naturally better
at it than others. However, all Christians have this ability and call. The
prerequisite is to have personally made peace with Christ and with our inner
turmoil. When we have composure in our emotions and the passion to follow
Christ, the resulting fruit will be that of a peacemaker. This ability will
nullify the war-torn church, enabling it to be a God-centered church that is a
beacon to its neighbors. We need to identify our desires and compare them to the Word of God through a life that is centered on devotion and prayer. Then we can surrender what is misleading and faulty and engage our call to lead and manage a church with His Fruit and Character. By having a prayer-centered life, we can mend brokenness with the fruits of a renewed character. Why we are called to be A Shepherd?

God calls us to seek His
presence, as a body of believers with one mind and voice, so why don't we? And
if we do get together, it is all about us and our individual needs and desires,
which is good as long as we include others and go beyond our own backyard. So we
need to find the excitement of communing with our Lord and doing it with each
other. We are to focus on the Lord and not ourselves. When we desire to have a church that is after God's purpose then prayer will be at the heart and core of it. The church cannot function without prayer. To have a church that does not pray is like having a telephone operator who refuses to use the phone or the computer programmer not using a computer in their occupations. Sounds like foolishness? Well a lot of churches do not pray, in fact if you carefully inspect churches as I have over the years, you will be shocked on how little prayer actually goes on, or that prayer is wispy and scarce.

Please keep in mind and prayer that we and our ministry are in need! We are experiencing our own recession, but we are trusting in God's provisions and blessings as we seek to know and serve Him better. Church Leadership and
Prayer Tip of the Week Ideas to
consider: (Romans 12:18 ; 14:18 -19; Ephesians 4:3; Hebrews
12:14 )
Have a system of pastoral care to train your staff and leaders to
immediately respond when they hear of a church member, especially another leader
(most churches neglect their leaders, thinking they are OK and do not need
anything!) or someone in their family with a pastoral need or emergency. Assign
a key person to be in change by 24-hour shifts. Have a contact list and trained
deacons or care workers to be ready to act when the need arises. No one is
self-maintaining. We all need support and care! Make sure you have caring people
to be there in a timely manner! (1 Corinthians 13:1-8; Colossians
4:5; 1 Timothy 3:14-15; Hebrews 12:14-15) Pray that your church can be a
community of grace and forgiveness, that your church has an atmosphere of
encouragement by being grateful for Christ's work in them that enables the
congregation to be inspired to give genuine hospitality to all who come though
your doors (Rom. 15:4-6; 2 Thess. 2:16-17).
There is no question - we are serving our Lord Jesus Christ because of your prayers, support and partnership, Thank-You! We need your help!
