Bible Verses
Now you are the body
of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it. And God has placed in the church first of all
apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then (workers of) miracles, then
gifts of healing, of helping, of guidance, and of different kinds of tongues. Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all
teachers? Do all work miracles? Do all
have gifts of healing? Do all speak in tongues? Do all interpret? Now eagerly desire the greater gifts.
3 reasons
Leaders are God’s Appointment
(for us), God’s Arrangement (in the
body) and God’s Authority (on them).
Rob mentions Renewal. This is a large church local to Jubilee.
Is anyone among you
sick? Let them call the elders of the church to pray over them and anoint them
with oil in the name of the Lord. And
the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise
them up. If they have sinned, they will be forgiven.

Journaling
In your journaling
you may want to write your feelings and your prayers and ignore the
prompts. The prompts are to help you and you can choose those that speak
to you most. You can download these prompts as a PDF.
In our culture of fairness and equality what do you think
about God’s arrangement that some people have a greater anointing?
What anointing or gifting do you have? What gifting are you desiring?
Who inspires you to grow in your gifting?
What name have you given yourself? What name has God given you?
In your own church or workplace are you prepared to take the
risk of honouring those that lead us or who have roles more prominent than
ours? It will lead to incredible blessing.
Have you been hurt in the past by someone in authority? Have you been able to deal with this?
