Hi there and how was your New Year’s Day? I love this time of year. There’s something about newness. “We Seek” is our first value at Reedy and we seek God in prayer. Jesus taught us Matthew 7:7, “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find…” (Matthew 7:7 NIV). This teaching in the original language is in the present and continual tense meaning that we are to keep on asking, keep on seeking, keep on knocking – and answers will come, we will find, and doors will be opened. Don’t give up. Keep persisting. If you are searching spiritually, keep seeking for God. You will find Him. Let’s ask God to help you remain persistent with your prayer requests, and, if you are seeking, pray that you will find Him.

Happy New Year. I trust that it will be a good year for you. Thanks so much for taking part in Reedy’s Month in Prayer. We Seek is our first value at Reedy. What a great way to start a new year - to seek God. Jesus taught us in Matthew 6:33 “But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well”. What is Jesus asking of us? Look at some of the key words in this verse. The Greek word for seek is zeteo which means “to hunger, to desire”. The word “first” is the Greek word proton, which means “first in order or importance, holding the highest place in all our affections”. Se we are to hunger and desire as first importance. The other two words are Kingdom, and, in this context, kingdom is the reign of God in our lives and the other key word is righteousness which is what is right in God’s eyes. Putting these important words together, we are to hunger and desire as of first importance the reign of God and what He sees as right for our lives. Let’s pray for that now - for a strong desire in our hearts to allow God to reign in our hearts.
Hi there Church and thanks for taking part in Reedy’s annual Month in Prayer. Into its ninth year, we commence each January with a call to united prayer for the year ahead. God is good as we’ve seen some amazing answers to our prayers. There’s something special about God people raises their voices in united prayers. Acts 1:14 says how the Early Church “were constantly united in prayer” (Acts 1:14 NLT) and they witnessed some pretty big answers to their prayers.
This year we will be using our stated values and its various statements and verses as a basis for our prayers. This information is available on our website or in this booklet.
Each day, check your Reedy Connect Facebook or our church’s webpage for the specific devotional thoughts and prayers.
For only a few minutes each day let’s be committed to unite our voices to our God in prayer throughout the month of January. Thank you!
