AFRICA DAY 2012

Today 25 May is Africa Day. It calls for reflection and celebration. My first thoughts this morning were: As the sun rises over Africa, so does the Son of God! More and more people in Africa are turning to the Son for light. He is the Light of Africa. Africa is no longer the dark continent. Africa is coming to a saving knowledge of who Jesus Christ is, and that there is healing in His wings.

Pray that today people all over the continent will turn to God and celebrate His presence. Trust that they will receive "the present" - the ultimate gift of becoming a member of His family, as they receive Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord.

Pray for Namibia where the gospel is known all over the country, that church leaders, missionaries and heads of families will teach their people what it means to follow Christ today and every day. Pray that they will show them what it means to be a disciple.

But for you who revere my name, the sun of righteousness will rise with healing in its wings. And you will go out and leap like calves released from the stall. Malachi 4:2
