Yesterday, the Church celebrated the Resurrection of Jesus. The Church was packed with people who rarely attended or had never attended a worship program before. If you were there, you saw them, even if you didn’t get a chance to talk to them. You saw them and were filled with delight that they were in Church for that day.

Now, I would like you to do two things as a post-Easter exercise.

First, drop those people that you saw a message and thank them for coming. Express your delight at seeing them and your eagerness to have them join you again.

Second, take five minutes every day this week and pray for that person or those people. Ask God to touch their heart and use Easter as a catalyst toward growth and change.

Getting people to attend a worship program on a special day is a great start, but God has so much more for them. Perhaps your contact and prayers will help them move forward on their spiritual journey. Don’t let the opportunities from this big day go to waste.
