Day 40 of Prayer
May 2nd 2020
Reading Mark 12:29-30 Jesus replied, “The most important commandment is this: ‘Listen, O Israel! The Lord our God is the one and only Lord.

Pray we grow in grace as we grow in knowledge so we remain secure in our salvation.
Reading 2 Peter 3:17-18; So be on guard; then you will not be carried away by the errors of these wicked people and lose your own secure footing. Rather, you must grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. All glory to him, both now and forever! Amen.
Day 38 of Prayer
April 30th 2020
Pray for greater faith in God
Reading Luke 7:6-10; So Jesus went with them. But just before they arrived at the house, the officer sent some friends to say, “Lord, don’t trouble yourself by coming to my home, for I am not worthy of such an honour. I am not even worthy to come and meet you. Just say the word from where you are, and my servant will be healed. I know this because I am under the authority of my superior officers, and I have authority over my soldiers. I only need to say, ‘Go,’ and they go, or ‘Come,’ and they come. And if I say to my slaves, ‘Do this,’ they do it. ”When Jesus heard this, he was amazed. Turning to the crowd that was following him, he said, “I tell you, I haven’t seen faith like this in all Israel!” And when the officer’s friends returned to his house, they found the slave completely healed. (NLT)
Day 37 of Prayer
April 29th 2020
Pray thanks for our freedom and for those following Christ who are being persecuted for their faith
1 Peter 4:12-19; 12Dear friends, don’t be surprised at the fiery trials you are going through, as if something strange were happening to you. 13Instead,be very glad—for these trials make you partners with Christ in his suffering, so that you will have the wonderful joy of seeing his glory when it is revealed to all the world.
14Ifyou are insulted because you bear the name of Christ, you will be blessed, for the glorious Spirit of God rests upon you. 15If you suffer, however, it must not be for murder, stealing, making trouble, or prying into other people’s affairs. 16Butit is no shame to suffer for being a Christian. Praise God for the privilege of being called by his name! 17Forthe time has come for judgment, and it must begin with God’s household. And if judgment begins with us, what terrible fate awaits those who have never obeyed God’s Good News? 18And also, “If the righteous are barely saved,
what will happen to godless sinners?” 19So if you are suffering in a manner that pleases God, keep on doing what is right, and trust your lives to the God who created you, for he will never fail you. (NLT)
Day 36 of Prayer
April 28th 2020
Pray for whoever or
whatever is causing you concern at this moment. Let go and let God take care of
it.
Reading Matthew 6:25-34;
25 “Therefore
I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about
your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more
than clothes?
26 Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or
store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much
more valuable than they? 27 Can any
one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life? 28 “And why do you worry about
clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labour or spin. 29 Yet I
tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendour was dressed like one of
these. 30 If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is
here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe
you—you of little faith? 31 So do
not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What
shall we wear?’ 32 For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly
Father knows that you need them. 33 But seek
first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to
you as well. 34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will
worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own. (NLT)
Day 35 of Prayer
April 27th 2020
Pray for sinners living without Christ to find life in Christ. A humble heart to confess our own sins
Reading 1 John 1:8-10; If we claim we have no sin, we are only fooling ourselves and not living in the truth. But if we confess our sins to him, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all wickedness. If we claim we have not sinned, we are calling God a liar and showing that his word has no place in our hearts.
Day 34 of Prayer
April 24th 2020
Pray the prayer of Ephesians 3:14-21
Read and pray: Ephesians 3:14-21 When I
think of all this, I fall to my knees and pray to the Father, the Creator of
everything in heaven and on earth. I pray that from his glorious, unlimited
resources he will empower you with inner strength through his Spirit. Then
Christ will make his home in your hearts as you trust in him. Your roots will
grow down into God’s love and keep you strong. And may you have the power to
understand, as all God’s people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how
deep his love is. May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great
to understand fully. Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of
life and power that comes from God. Now
all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to
accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think. Glory to him in the
church and in Christ Jesus through all generations forever and ever! Amen.
Day 33 of Prayer
April 23rd 2020
Pray
for those who were faithful but have fallen away from the faith and are now
living without Christ to be restored to a loving relationship with Him.
Reading Luke 15:11-24;
To illustrate the point further, Jesus told them this story: “A
man had two sons. The younger son told his father, ‘I
want my share of your estate now before you die.’ So his father agreed to
divide his wealth between his sons. “A few days later this younger son packed
all his belongings and moved to a distant land, and there he wasted all his
money in wild living. About the time his money ran out,
a great famine swept over the land, and he began to starve. He persuaded a local farmer to hire him, and the man sent him into
his fields to feed the pigs. The young man became so
hungry that even the pods he was feeding the pigs looked good to him. But no
one gave him anything. “When he finally came to his senses, he said to himself,
‘At home even the hired servants have food enough to spare, and here I am dying
of hunger! I will go home to my father and say, “Father,
I have sinned against both heaven and you, and I am no
longer worthy of being called your son. Please take me on as a hired servant.”’
“So he returned home to his father. And while he was still a long way off, his
father saw him coming. Filled with love and compassion, he ran to his son,
embraced him, and kissed him. His son said to him,
‘Father, I have sinned against both heaven and you, and I am no longer worthy
of being called your son. “But his father said to the
servants, ‘Quick! Bring the finest robe in the house and put it on him. Get a
ring for his finger and sandals for his feet. And kill
the calf we have been fattening. We must celebrate with a feast, for this son of mine was dead and has now returned to life. He was
lost, but now he is found.’ So the party began.
Day 32 of Prayer
April 22nd 2020
Pray for those in government at this difficult time. For
everyone to live peaceful lives.

help them; intercede on their behalf and give thanks for them. Pray this way
for kings and all who are in authority so that we can live peaceful and quiet
lives marked by godliness and dignity. This is good and pleases God our Saviour,
who wants everyone to be saved and to understand the truth. For, there is one
God and one Mediator who can reconcile God and humanity—the man Christ Jesus. He
gave his life to purchase freedom for everyone. This is the message God gave to
the world at just the right time. (NLT)
Day 31 of Prayer
April 21st 2020
Pray to be filled with the knowledge of God’s will as we also read His Word.
Reading Colossians 1:6-10; This same Good News that came to you is going out all over the world. It is bearing fruit everywhere by changing lives, just as it changed your lives from the day you first heard and understood the truth about God’s wonderful grace. You learned about the Good News from Epaphras, our beloved co-worker. He is Christ’s faithful servant, and he is helping us on your behalf. He has told us about the love for others that the Holy Spirit has given you. So we have not stopped praying for you since we first heard about you. We ask God to give you complete knowledge of his will and to give you spiritual wisdom and understanding. Then the way you live will always honour and please the Lord, and your lives will produce every kind of good fruit. All the while, you will grow as you learn to know God better and better.
Day 30 of Prayer
April 20th 2020
Pray that even through these difficult times doors will open for the spread of the good news of Jesus Christ.
Reading Colossians 4:2-6; Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful. And pray for us, too, that God may open a door for our message, so that we may proclaim the mystery of Christ, for which I am in chains. Pray that I may proclaim it clearly, as I should. Be wise in the way you act toward outsiders; make the most of every opportunity. Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone. (NLT)

needs.

everyday life—whether you have enough food and drink, or enough clothes to
wear. Isn’t life more than food, and your body more than clothing? Look at the birds. They don’t plant or
harvest or store food in barns, for your heavenly Father feeds them. And aren’t
you far more valuable to him than they are? Can all your worries add a single moment
to your life? (NLT)

Now may the God of peace who brought up from the dead our Lord Jesus, the great Shepherd of the sheep, and ratified an eternal covenant with his blood may he equip you with all you need for doing his will. May he produce in you, through the power of Jesus Christ, every good thing that is pleasing to him. All glory to him forever and ever! Amen. (NLT)

to it that no one takes you captive by philosophy and empty deceit, according

The sorrows of those who run after another god shall multiply; their drink offerings of blood I will not pour out or take their names on my lips. The Lord is my chosen portion and my cup; you hold my lot. The lines have fallen for me in pleasant places; indeed, I have a beautiful inheritance.

Those who make them become like them; so do all who trust in them. O Israel, trust in the Lord! He is their help and their shield. O house of Aaron, trust in the Lord!

April 1st 2020
That people will not reject God but turn to Him for salvation.
Reading: Psalm 14: The fool says in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt, they do abominable deeds; there is none who does good. The Lord looks down from heaven on the children of man, to see if there are any who understand, who seek after God. They have all turned aside; together they have become corrupt; there is none who does good, not even one. Have they no knowledge, all the evildoers who eat up my people as they eat bread and do not call upon the Lord? There they are in great terror, for God is with the generation of the righteous. You would shame the plans of the poor, but the Lord is his refuge. Oh, that salvation for Israel would come out of Zion! When the Lord restores the fortunes of his people, let Jacob rejoice, let Israel be glad.

your justice like the ocean depths. You care for people and animals alike, O LORD. How precious is your unfailing love, O God! All humanity finds shelter in the shadow of your wings.

Beasts and all livestock, creeping things and flying birds! Kings of the earth and all peoples, princes and all rulers of the earth! Young men and maidens together, old men and children! Let them praise the name of the Lord, for his name alone is exalted; his majesty is above earth and heaven. He has raised up a horn for his people, praise for all his saints, for the people of Israel who are near to him. Praise the Lord! (ESV)

Lead me in your truth and teach me, for you are the God of my salvation; for you I wait all the day long. Remember your mercy, O Lord, and your steadfast love, for they have been from of old.

Still Available
Whilst we are faced with a situation that calls for us to stay away from each other we still want to reach out and share the good news of Jesus Christ.
Perhaps we cannot meet face to face but we can be in touch on-line or over the phone. If you happen to be reading this and are at a loose end. If you are having to stay home, have done all the chores and caught up with those jobs you needed to. We will be happy to share Bible studies or chat about our faith via the internet. Please do get in touch if this would be a good time for you to get into God's Word.
Should we or shouldn't we?
There is often a debate about what involvement Christians should have with Christmas celebrations. Some reasons given are:
- There is no specific biblical command to celebrate the birth of Jesus.
- We cannot be sure of the date.
- Much of what is done was to cover over pagan celebrations but are still evident.
-
Its become all about commercialism
The only thing we know for sure is that the Son of God was born to live amongst us and give his life for our sin. God's love demonstrated in this way is something to be thankful for.
Having an outreach meeting at this time of year seems a reasonable thing to do. Amongst all the commercialism, decorations, overindulging and stress there is a flicker of a thought about a baby being born in Bethlehem.
Why not take the opportunity to let people know what the Bible actually says about the event and how it fits in to the story of God's wonderful love and salvation for us?
The Gospel According To Santa
What a great opportunity Christmas brings to get your children, the younger ones at least, to do as they are told! You see if you are on the naughty list you will not get the gifts.
We are told in the gospel according to Santa - You'd better watch out. Santa makes a list, checks it twice, he finds out who has been naughty or nice and he is coming to your town. He sees you when you are sleeping, he knows when you're awake. He knows if you've been bad or good so be good for goodness sake.
Santa says if you are good you will be rewarded. Santa it seems wants you to earn your presents. Is that the message of Christmas? Will you withhold presents because of bad or unacceptable behaviour? If that were the case our economy would collapse, after all, who really deserves merited gifts.
The message of Santa is the complete opposite of the wonderful saving message of God through Jesus Christ. The apostle Paul tells us in Ephesians that we cannot take credit for our salvation, it is the free gift of God. It is not a reward for the good things we have done so none of us can boast about it.
What are we teaching our children if we are telling them to be good for goodness sake? Many presents are already bought and wrapped (no thanks to me) and even if the children's behaviour falls below par they will still get their gifts, its already done even if they have not done much to deserve it. The gifts are already bought, you cannot pay for what is already been paid for.
The kind of goodness we learn form God is that our place on the nice list doesn't depend on what good we have done. It is the good that Jesus has done that reserves us a place on the nice list. Our response to the gift already given is surely to want to be good, but that doesn't earn what has already been paid for.
Our children need to know that being naughty is not acceptable. We need to understand that without God's help we are all on the naughty list. In the book of Romans we read that the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Which message do we really want our children to hear? Is it one that certainly does not apply to us? I for one have done nothing to deserve my salvation from sin.
Our children need to know there is a naughty list but it is not the end of the story. The story begins with God's goodness, a goodness that he imparts to us because we would never be good enough. Thank God for his wonderful gift of Jesus who was born to die on our behalf that we may receive the gift of eternal life no matter how naughty we have been or nice we might be. It is because of God's goodness we can be saved.
