How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher? Romans 10:14
Eternal Father, you are the Creator and Finisher, of our life. You have created us in your image and likeness and have given us life by your breath, which you breathed into us. We accept you as our Lord and our God in a daily profession of our Christian faith. We exult in praises to you and sing with the choirs of your angels that tell of the glory of your Holy Name. We resort to the Holy Gospels written by your apostles, to know and believe your Holy Word and to carry out your Holy Will and commandment to us.
Lord, we repent for all our wickedness and human failings, confessing all our infidelities for the remission of our grievances. We know that our hearts and souls need sanctification to come into your presence. Our Saviour, Jesus Christ, your only begotten Son, has obtained for us your grace, favor and mercy, by atoning for all our sins and justifying us before you. Father, we beg you to accept our sincere offerings of prayer and our entire lives consecrated to you in true and proper worship, acceptable through Lord Jesus.
We believe in your Triune Godhead and your supernatural perfect Being, of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, three in relations and one in essence, most excellent in all your attributes, infinitely wise, powerful, just, good, and eternal. We believe absolutely and with full integrity in the reward of eternal life and salvation to all who approach you with faith and diligence. It is imperative that we carry out our ministerial duties as evangelists, proclaiming and explaining your Gospel of Truth to those ignorant and in darkness. Only then, by spreading your Glory can we draw others into the Light of your Truth, to believe and obtain salvation in Jesus’ Name. Amen
