Your Assignment for Session 4 - The Laver - Commandment 1

Read what Dr. Cho writes then pray what is in bold. Expand your prayer as the Lord leads you.

1. As I stand before the laver, I pray for God to make me a righteous person because righteousness builds me up. Righteousness builds my church; righteousness builds our society; righteousness builds a nation. If you lose righteousness in our heart, we lose everything. As a minister, when we lose righteousness, we lose our ministry.

In a home, if you lose righteousness, the home is broken. In society, if you don't have righteousness, then all kinds of sin and iniquity arises, so society is broken. In the nation, if the leader loses righteousness, and if the leader does immoral kinds of polluted acts, then the whole nation is in disarray.

So I pray, "Heavenly Father, make me a faithful and righteous person, loyal to You."

Then I look at the 10 Commandments as a mirror reflecting God's standards on my life. I pray: "Oh God let me not break your Law. Make me very faithful and loyal, especially as far as the Ten Commandments are concerned."

Now pray through the first commandment: "Oh Lord I want no other gods in my life except you. May I worship you only each and everyday."
