Oil to Fire night 2 recap!

Once again, another great night of prayer and worship! Corey and I each had our personal time with God during the day and He once again gave both of us vision and direction for the night. We prayed for Education in America! We prayed for each school district, all the teachers, all the students! We prayed for God to move in our schools! It was great! We even had the privilege of praying for teachers in our midst last night. We have quite a few homeschool families and even public school teachers! We will continue to keep them in prayer as they educate the next generation of leaders in our nation!

This is such an important topic because of the very fact that if we do not properly educate the younger generation, then we are partly responsible for how our nation turns out. We really need to take education seriously. It is our job to invest ourselves in our children. Not only just in schools but in our churches as well. It is absolutely vital that we take interest in serving the children in our church and raise them up to be mighty men and women of God. Our government may try to keep God out of our schools, but are we gonna deny children the right to learn about God in church? That's where it's supposed to be, but too often we get caught up in our selfishness of needing to get something out of church for ourselves, instead of church being a place where we can serve and build each other up. Children's ministry becomes second to our own personal growth. When we are spending time with God daily and getting filled up from Him personally, thats when we look at church with a servant mindset rather than a consumer mindset and that's when church becomes what it's supposed to be. The family of God serving each other and building up one another in Christ. So there's my little tangent on that.

Be sure to join us again next week! Same time and place! God is doing awesome stuff! You don't wanna miss out!
