Biblical Exhortation:
Stay strong in the Lord! Remember the powerful words of Joshua 1:9: “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you1 go.” Embrace this promise; God’s presence is your constant companion and strength in your pastoral journey.
Bible Confession:
Heavenly Father, I boldly declare that I am called and equipped for this pastoral assignment (Romans 1:1). I confess that You are my Shepherd, and I shall not want (Psalm 23:1). I believe that You empower me by Your Spirit to lead Your flock with wisdom and grace (Acts 1:8). I trust in Your guidance and commit to shepherding according to Your heart.
Scripture Reading:
1 Peter 5:2-4: “Shepherd the flock of God that is among you, exercising oversight, not under compulsion, but willingly, as God would have you; not for shameful gain, but eagerly; not domineering over those in your charge, but being examples to the flock. And when the chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the unfading crown of glory.”2
Praise and Worship:
Let our hearts overflow with gratitude! Father, we lift our voices to honor You, the Chief Shepherd. Thank You for Your unfailing love and for entrusting us with Your precious flock. We declare Your holiness, Your majesty, and Your power. You are worthy of all praise and adoration! Hallelujah!
