Commissioning
The Preparation
(Those who wish to be commissioned stand, if possible.)
Leader: The Lord appeared to Moses in a burning bush and called to him saying, “Put off your shoes from your feet, for the place on which you are standing is holy ground.” Now, by virtue of the indwelling presence of the Holy Spirit, every place we tread becomes holy.
Today, we come to affirm that the work you do each day takes place on holy ground, and as your spiritual leaders, to offer our support and prayers for you and the work to which God has called you. We do this following the example of Jesus, who Himself dignifies the workplace, spending the larger part of His earthly life working as a carpenter.
As we answer the following questions, may we remember the Apostle Paul’s appeal to us in his letter to the Romans.
For from Him and through Him and to Him are all things. To Him be glory forever, Amen.
I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect. (Romans 11:36-12:2)
This liturgy has been adapted from several sources including the graduate ministry of Intervarsity Christian Fellowship at Harvard and Church of the Savior in Washington, DC.
The Affirmation (People respond “I do.”)
Leader: Brothers and sisters, do you trust in Jesus Christ as your Savior and acknowledge Him as Lord of your daily work, whether in your home, your occupation, your church or the society in which you live?
Do you accept the authority of the Scripture, and commit to do your daily work according to God’s commands, as you are enabled by the Holy Spirit?
Are you, so far as you know your own heart, called by God to serve Him in the workplace?
Do you affirm that every ability, resource, opportunity, and success comes from God’s hand to be used for His glory?
Will you seek to serve as a faithful servant in your daily work, putting the interests of others before your Will you seek to serve as a faithful servant in your daily work, putting the interests of others before your own?
Do you accept the responsibility as God’s ambassador to your workplace, and hold yourself accountable to God and the body of Christ for your witness?
The Dedication (People speak as follows)
Enabled by Christ’s indwelling strength, I surrender the entirety of my life to God, including my gifts, talents, family, vocation, time and possessions, stewarding all for Him. I endeavor to make each day’s work an act of worship. I pray that servanthood, grace, and humility will replace any greed, selfishness, and pride that would taint my work and make it an unworthy offering to You. I pray that my work will be a fragrant aroma of Your presence and that those with whom I work will be attracted to You. And, when I fail, help me to receive Your grace, make restitution as I am able, and accept the forgiveness that is mine in Christ. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen
Leader: It is fitting that the dedication of your work to God be sealed with the support of your brothers and sisters in Christ. By placing our hands on your shoulders, we affirm your calling and pledge our support, encouragement, and affirmation of your work. Let us pray together.
Leader: Lord Jesus, as these Your servants go out to do Your will, we pray that You will empower them, affirm them, and use them for Your glory. As the Body of Christ, we pledge our support, encouragement, and affirmation to these brothers and sisters in Christ, in their successes and their failures. We recognize them as Christ’s ambassadors and name as holy ground every place they tread. In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen
Dear Heavenly Father,
Thank you for loving me, for sending your Son Jesus to die for my sins, calling me out of darkness into the wonderful light.
Thank you for being my ultimate CEO in my workplace, for blessing me with wisdom and courage to live out these 6M at work:
- Model Christlike character, instead of wearing a wolf skin going with the flow in the world.
- Make good work doing my best and trusting God for the rest, instead of being a mediocre worker.
- Minister grace and love, instead of getting mad and getting even.
- Mold the culture in the office, instead of reacting to negative politics.
- Mouthpiece for the truth and justice, instead of hiding my Christian faith as a secret agent.
- Messenger of the gospel, instead of missing the opportunity to give the reason for my hope.
Help me Lord to find my identity in Christ, as your chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, instead of defining my identity by my salary and title, by seeking people’s approval.
Remind me Lord to go to work with Jesus every day, keep that empty seat for Jesus as a reminder, connect my Sunday blessings to replace my Monday blues, thank God it’s Monday, embrace every challenge as an opportunity to exercise my spiritual discipline, walk in step with the Holy Spirit, abide in Christ as the Vine and the branches, obey your Word as a lamp for my feet and a light on my path.
Equip me Lord to serve you faithfully as a full-time missional disciple & missionary at work, pray with fellow Christians at work, set up Christian Fellowship as the Light in the workplace, glorify God & bless others.
