IOI CHRISTIAN MEAL. TOPIC: Support From a Friend”

“Support From a Friend”

Scripture: Luke 10:1

Have you ever heard the saying “two heads are better than one”? Whether you’re discipling, sharing the gospel or praying, doing those things with a friend who is also a believer can often be powerful when God is using you.

Even the 72 disciples in Luke 10were sent out in pairs to share the gospel. But remember, even when you’re not doing these things with a friend, you’re never alone because the Holy Spirit is with you (Acts 2).

There is power in agreement and accountability. We encourage you to meet or talk regularly with another follower of Jesus who prays, cares for, and shares Jesus with others. This support could take the form of helping each other in discipling a new believer, or praying together for others.

Jesus even explains in the Bible the power of agreement inMatthew 18:19, where He says that if two people agree on something and ask for it, it will be done for them by His Father in heaven.

You can tell your friend about Jesus, and how he has helped you live out and share your faith based on teachings in the Bible. Teaching someone about it might even be helpful to you!

PRAY NOW: 
"Lord, I thank You for sending me the Holy Spirit to be with me as I live out my faith in Jesus. Show me, Lord, who I should ask to support me through prayer and accountability. I pray that you will bind us together in the journey of this friendship. In Jesus’ name I pray, amen."
