Day 17

Theme: Church Helping the Migrant People in Malaysia

Scriptures:

[Proverbs 14:31]

He who oppresses the poor shows contempt for their Maker,
but whoever is kind to the needy honors God.

[Proverbs 19:17]

He who is kind to the poor lends to the LORD,
and he will reward him for what he has done.


Prayer Subjects:

1. Repent if we have exploited the migrant workers

2. Churches may extend practical help and a helping hand by offering a place of solace for their physical/ emotional needs

3. Christian homes to be opened for migrants to experience God's goodness, love and hospitality

4. When the migrants taste Christian hospitality and God's goodness, they will seek after Christ

5. For growth in the life of believers and the migrant fellowship groups


Personals:

I have always had an issue when people have this stereotypical view of migrants, and lay their comments and condemnation. Imagine if we left Malaysia and stood outside the other worlds, will we enjoy those stray eyes starring at you as if you've done something wrong? I pray that as christian we are nourished in love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control, that we might learn to appreciate them as one of us, and treat them well as brothers and sisters, and lead them to the truth. After all, we are just human that God created in different areas. IN JESUS' NAME AMEN.
