Day 3

Theme: Love for the People of the Nation

Scriptures:

For I wish that I myself were cursed and cut off from Christ for the sake of my brothers, those of my own race. [Romans 9:3]

Jesus went through all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the good news of the kingdom and healing every disease and sickness. When he saw the crowds. he had compassion on them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. Then he said to his disciples, "The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field." [Matthew 9:35-38]

Prayer Subjects:

1. Confess we have not loved the people of our nation and ask for forgiveness. That we have a compassionate heart and love to reach out to every people group.

2.For spiritual awakening and the harvest of souls amongst the least reached people groups in Malaysia and for more laborers.

3.Churches to be impregnated with vision for growth and church planting for each indigenous or foreign group.


Personal:

Well, as a Malaysian, we are often lead to prejudice towards different races, for the equality among us is just NOT there. I would now confess to the LORD that I have not loved each and everyone of our nation, but also pray that the veils will be destroyed and that all would be viewed as one, which defines what unity is.

Laborers of the churches must also aggravate themselves to reach out, there are souls to be saved out there, so buckle up people!
