Pray for Your Workplace

Have you thought about doing such a prayer walk around your place of work like Joshua at Jericho?
Or if a postman or woman could you read these verses and then march and pray as you deliver the daily post claiming the ground for God. In the thirteenth century a man named William Wallace became the instrument of freedom from England’s tyranny over Scotland. A very wicked king ruled England.

A tragedy in the life of William Wallace launched him into living for this cause. Initially his cause was revenge, but soon his cause turned to something bigger than himself – freedom for a nation. When he challenged the commoners to fight for this freedom, they responded that the enemy was too great and that they might die on the battlefield. They also refused to fight for the nobles, the knights and leaders who had a vested interest in gaining more land for themselves versus a pure cause of freedom. Wallace’s response: “Yes, we might die. We will all die sooner or later. But we will die for a cause worth dying for. So that our children and their children might live in freedom.”

This story was popularized in the movie Brave Heart. Today there are Christian workplace believers living a status quo relationship with God that is more characterized as “business as usual” than a life demonstrating God’s power. We are often more concerned with improving our standard of living than improving the Kingdom of God through our circle of influence. While this takes place, millions upon millions die without the saving grace of Christ. God has called each of us to live for a cause greater than ourselves – a life that is dependent on His grace and power to achieve things we never thought possible through our lives. This is His plan for your life. The apostle Paul prayed that He might experience the power of the resurrection in his life. This power is available to you and me to live for a cause greater than ourselves to transform our nation and the place of work for Christ. Have a great summer and may God bless you richly.

– Simon
