Prayer for the saints to realize that preaching the gospel is to be fishers of men

Pray that the saints would realize that preaching the gospel is to be fishers of men, which requires  contacting people patiently, again and again, until they are “caught” unto life and brought out of the world into the kingdom of the heavens (Matt. 4:18-20; Luke 5:9-10 and note 10²; Acts 11:18).

太四18-20—耶穌在加利利海邊行走，看見兩個兄弟，就是那稱呼彼得的西門，和他的兄弟安得烈，向海裡撒網；他們本是漁夫。耶穌對他們說，來跟從我，我要使你們作得人的漁夫。他們就立刻撇下網，跟從了祂。

Luke 5:9-10—For amazement had taken possession of [Simon Peter] and all who were with him, because of the catch of the fish which they took; and likewise also James and John, the sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. And Jesus said to Simon, Do not be afraid. From now on you will be catching men alive.

徒十一18—眾人聽見這話，就靜默無聲，只榮耀神說，這樣看來，神也把悔改以得生命賜給外邦人了。
