Prosperity for Ministering Servants

Prosperity for

Ministering Servants

Father, how we praise You and thank You for Your Word,

knowing that You watch over Your Word to perform it,

and no Word of Yours returns void, but accomplishes that which

You please, and it prospers in the thing for which You sent it.

Father, in the name of Jesus, we pray and believe that those

in Your Body who have sown the seed of spiritual good among the

people reap from the people’s material benefits, for You directed

that those who publish the good news of the Gospel should live

and get their maintenance by the Gospel.

The people’s gifts are the fragrant odor of an offering and

sacrifice which You, Father, welcome and in which You delight.

You will liberally supply, fill to the full, the people’s every need

according to Your riches in glory in Christ Jesus.

Father, it is Your will that those who receive instruction in

the Word of God share all good things with their teachers,

contributing to their support. We confess that Your people will

not lose heart and grow weary and faint in acting nobly and doing

right, for in due time and at the appointed season they shall reap,

if they do not loosen and relax their courage and faint.

So then, as occa s i on and opportunity are open to the

p e o p l e, t h ey do good to all people not only being useful and

p rofitable to them, but also doing what is for their spiritual good

and advantage.

We pray that Your people will be a blessing, especially to

those of the household of faith — those who belong to God’s

family. Help us to remember that whoever sows generously will

also reap generously.

God, You are then able to make all grace, every favor and

earthly blessing, come to Your people in abundance, so that they

are always and under all circumstances possessing enough to

require no aid or support and furnished in abundance for every

good work and charitable donation.

As Your people give, their deeds of justice and goodness and

kindness and benevolence go on and endure forever. And, God,

You provide the seed for the sower and bread for the eating, so You

also will provide and multiply the people’s resources for sowing

and increase the fruits of their righteousness. Thus, Your people

are enriched in all things and in every way so that they can be

generous, and their generosity, as it is administered by Your

teachers, will bring thanksgiving to God.

As it is written, “Give, and it shall be given unto you; good

measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over,

shall men give into your bosom” (Luke 6:38). Praise the Lord!

In Jesus’ name, amen.
