The "one to another" passages are numerous. No man is an island and no man 
stands alone. We are all part of what the Bible calls "the body of Christ" 
and we are "members each in particular."  The body is to be intimately 
related one to another. We are to be attached, not detached parts of the 
whole. 

Let us therefore find some practical ways to exercise the Word which we 
have received this evening.  How can you practically do these "one another" 
things and to who is the "other" you should do this to?



Pray For and With People

To often we say to a friend, "Well, I will be praying for you."  or "I’ll 
be sure to pray about that."  But we don’t actually pause that very moment 
and seize the moment for the glory of God. 
 

A friend told me of working as a janitor in a high rise office building. 
One night after most everyone had left he encountered the CEO of the 
company still in his room but in excruciating pain. That brother began to 
chat about the back injury and testified of how God had healed him of a 
similar affliction. The affluent business man expressed awe over such faith 
and experience with God. Then my friend leaped at the opportunity and 
asked, "Can I pray for you right now?"  The business man was taken back and 
responded, "Well, I guess so. If you think it will do any good." So he laid 
his hand on his head and prayed for him. The CEO commented as he walked out 
the door. "You know I think that is the first time someone ever prayed for 
me. Thank you. 

I often challenge my congregation to train themselves to avoid ever saying, 
"I’ll pray for you." without actually doing so on the spot. One dear lady 
came back the next week in tears to tell me that she had met a friend on 
the street downtown and asked if she could pray for her right then and 
there. The woman was impressed and consented. Right there on the busy 
sidewalk this saint laid her hand on her friend and prayed out loud.  Now 
she was thrilled at the response and how good it made her feel that she had 
not neglected the opportunity to minister to someone. 

        Have you ministered to someone in prayer today?
