Day 4

Theme: The Unity of the Church to Love our Nation and Neighbours

Scriptures:


[John 17:20-26]

"My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, that all of them may be one. Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me. I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one: I in them and you in me. May they be brought to complete unity to let the world know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me."

"Father, I want those you have given me to be with me where I am , and to see my glory, the glory you have given me because you loved me before the creation of the world."

"Righteous Father, though the world does not know you, I know you, and they know that you have sent me. I have made you known to them, and will continue to make you known in order that the love you have for me may be in them and that I myself may be in them."

Prayer Subjects:
1. On be half of the Church- Repent of the sins of pride, strife, contention and distrust. Confess where we have not contributed to the unity of the body of Christ.

2. Continuous work of the Holy Spirit to unite and to strengthen churches to work together to transform communities.

3. Effective networking among all churches in reaching out to all people groups in or nation.


Personals:

I do admit and confess that I sometimes lack the respect towards authority deep down in my shallow heart, and pray for the Holy Spirit to lead me away from sinning against You Lord.
