“Prayer For Divine Preservation”

Key Verse
“And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are” (John 17:11).TEXT — John 17:6-19
Message
A 1990 Subaru car commercial sows a Volvo heading toward a wall, and then, in slow motion, crashing into the wall. The Volvo is built so sturdily that the passengers are not hurt, in spite of the severe nature of the crash. Then a Subaru is shown heading at a high speed toward a wall. At the last possible moment, the driver slams on the brakes and the Subaru stops inches from the wall. The announcer then cuts in and asks what you would prefer: to live through wrecks, or not to get in wrecks in the first place?
Our Lord Jesus spent a significant time alone with His disciples before His death. He did not disclose details about His death and resurrection and other deep matters to the public, but to His close disciples privately to prepare their minds for His imminent departure. He prayed earnestly for their preservation and unity, and their sanctification and separation from the world. He promised to empower them to live righteous in the midst of a corrupt and evil world.
As expected, the disciples were terrified and frightened after His death, but things would have been far worse if Christ had not prayed for them and strengthened their faith ahead of His departure.
Those who desire a perfect world where only saints live will have to wait till the era of Christ’s millennial reign. Before then, believers would have to braze up and be developed, through the various ministries and ministers available in the church to cope with an unfriendly and a corrupt world. As you do your part through prayer,
consecration and commitment to the kingdom service, the Lord will keep you pure, holy and prepared for His imminent second coming.
Thought for the day
Christ’s promise and prayer for believers cannot fail.
