He is about to advance His purpose to reveal His salvation globally. Even during days of dreadful shaking and difficulty, He will pour out His Spirit so that people all over the earth—elders and children, poor and rich, men and women—will resound with the call of God.

LEAD US IN NAMIBIA

…a call to CELEBRATE

"You will have plenty to eat and...praise the Name of the Lord your God, who has dealt wondrously with you." (Joel 2:26, NASB).

Read Joel 2:23-27. When God's people return to Him with all their heart, there is promise of tangible changes and great joy in their communities. Where there has been the curse of oppressive poverty, God desires to bring forth abundance so that many will gratefully praise His name. An even greater spectacle will be God
making His home in the midst of His people. He will act wondrously in both goodness and power, surprising the world by revealing His presence among His people.

GDOP: A CALL FROM GOD

The Global Day of Prayer is a call from God to meet with Him,
so that He can transform us and fulfill His desire for blessing the nations.

If my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sins and restore their land. My eyes will be open and my ears attentive to every prayer made in this place.

FORGIVE OUR SINS IN NAMIBIA

Tuesday 18 May 2010
10 Days of night-and-day prayer: Day 6

...Forgive us our sins...

• Pray for the Spirit of God to move in the hearts of men and women so that they will be able to see how God is grieved and how their lives are being destroyed by sin.
• Pray for the Spirit of God to empower people to abandon patterns of sin and find grace to renounce allegiance to powers of darkness.
• Pray for recognition of and repentance from sins that bring about war, poverty and injustice.
  

…a call to HOPE

"Then the Lord will be jealous...and take pity on His people...Be not afraid ... be glad and rejoice. Surely the Lord has done great things." (Joel 2:18, 21).

Read Joel 2:18-22. We can be zealous about repenting because God is jealous of His name and of His people. Because of God's great love, our repentance should be bold and fearless. Our God will contend with the forces that devastate our communities. As great as the evil may be, God will do even greater things. Such hope brings joy as we sincerely turn to God, knowing that He desires to bring great goodness throughout the earth, transforming our cities, restoring our economies and healing our lands.

TRANSFORM NAMIBIA

Sunday 16 May 2010
10 Days of night-and-day prayer: Day 4

...and may Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven...

• Pray for God's people to bring the influence and blessing of Christ into every aspect of commerce, arts, education and governance in ways that bring lasting transformation.
• Pray for God's wisdom to be upon our government leaders, bringing changes that increase righteousness and justice.
• Pray for the righteousness, peace and joy of Christ's kingdom to be a reality by the power of the Holy Spirit.

…a call to GATHER "

Gather the people...and let them say, 'Spare Your people, O Lord...' Why should the peoples say, 'Where is their God?'" (Joel 2:16-17, NASB).

Read Joel 2:15-17. To repent as a people we must come before God together. He wants to encounter us as a people. That is why He is summoning us to break normal routines in order to assemble before Him in gatherings large and small.

It's a time to interrupt daily habits of life, fasting from our normal diet, even moving from familiar ways of worship to assemble in special ways. Why this urgency? Because something great is at stake for God's glory. Let's allow our hearts to be grieved by what we, as God's people, have done to bring shame upon His name. To the watching world, it can appear as if we have no God.

Consider what brings sorrow to the heart of God, and pray that He will transform us to bring Him the glory He deserves.

REVEAL TO NAMIBIA

10 Days of night-and-day prayer: Day 2

...sanctify Your Name...

• Pray for the truth of God's character to be exalted and honoured in Namibia.
• Pray for God to distinguish Himself from every false god and to expose every false word spoken about Him.
• Pray for the Word of God to be proclaimed to every people and in every place across the world.
• Pray for the Scriptures to be translated and made available in every language.

…a call to RETURN

"Yet even now," declares the Lord, "return to Me with all your heart, and with fasting and weeping and mourning" (Joel 2:12, NASB).

Read Joel 2:12-14. Consider how the present hour could be a critical moment as in Joel's day, a "yet even now" moment. For different reasons, many of God's people have drifted away from Him. But now He is calling us to return with all our hearts.

Returning to God means more than going back to church and turning away from sin; it means turning our full attention to God, coming close to Him with confidence in His amazing love. As we turn to Him, He desires to turn toward us. His mighty love not only rescues us from our wrongs, but bestows blessing, empowering us to offer Him extravagant, grateful worship.
