Day 322: Prayer for the saints to be desperate to be made vital

Pray that the saints would become desperate to be made vital—living and active—to produce believers who are Christ’s increase and who live in His Body, the church (John 15:5, 8, 16; cf. Hag. 1:8; Ezek. 36:37 and note 37¹).

John 15:5, 8, 16—I am the vine; you are the branches. He who abides in Me and I in him, he bears much fruit; for apart from Me you can do nothing…In this is My Father glorified, that you bear much fruit and so you will become My disciples…You did not choose Me, but I chose you, and I set you that you should go forth and bear fruit and that your fruit should remain, that whatever you ask the Father in My name, He may give you. 

Hag. 1:8—Go up to the mountain and bring wood and build the house, and I will take pleasure in it and will be glorified, says Jehovah.

Ezek. 36:37—Thus says the Lord Jehovah, Moreover for this I will be inquired of by the house of Israel to do it for them; I will increase them with men like a flock.
