If you had been living at the time of the writing about the seven churches of Revelation, and you wanted to live in the most exciting city in the world, you probably would have selected Ephesus.

The Cry Of A Disciple (Part 3) Series

Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Jan 24, 2026

David’s prayer from a place of tension—surrounded by enemies, wrestling with internal weakness, and longing for divine direction. He prays, “Lead me… teach me.” NOT “inform me,” NOT “inspire me,” NOT “remind me.” LEAD ME. TEACH ME. SHAPE ME. FORM ME. This is discipleship in its purest form.

OPENING ILLUSTRATION: Marcus was trying to make a major decision about a job offer. The salary is higher, the city is attractive, and everyone around him says, “This is obviously the right move.” But something inside him feels unsettled. He can’t explain it. He isn’t sure if it’s fear, wisdom, or ...read more
