Accountability

This morning I had a magnificent time of prayer with some of you. Isn't God gooood the way that He weaves us together. I thank God for these men often throughout the day as they pray in one accord for those in authority over us, other ministries and each others families.

This morning I was reminded of a card Mike Sparks had given me seven years ago. This card was lamenated and it challenges any man to be all we can be in our Christian walk. We all should have accountability partners, men who we can trust and be totally honest with.

Brothers you may have seen this once upon a time, this is good to carry in your pocket or wallet I do.

MEN OF FAITH: "Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. (James 5:16)

1. How are you and the Lord doing with your Accountability issue(s)?
2. Have you used your gifts to fulfill your God given responsibilities to the best of your ability this week?
3. Have you spent time in daily prayer, worship and the Scriptures this week?
4. How did you sacrifice for someone else this week?
5. Have you taken time to lead your wife and children spiritually and emotionally this week?
6. Have you been completely above reproach in all your decisions and all your financial dealings this week?
7. Did you say anything this week that you would take back or change if you could say it again?
8. Have you prayed for witnessing opportunities this week?
9. Have you been with a woman this week in such a way that was inappropriate or could have looked to others that you were using poor judgment?
10. Have you exposed your to any suggestive or explicit sexual material this week?
11. Have you prayed for me?
12. Have you just been truthful to me?
13. How can I pray for you?

Brothers I'm of the school of thought that if we read this daily, we won't have a problem with any of us checking on the other. Men this may not be a very long message but it's got fangs.....

Have a great week in the Lord.

God's Servant,
Jim
