DAY 8 : 21 MAY 2015 THE GOOD SHEPHERD

  

I am the good shepherd; I know my sheep and my sheep know me— just as the Father knows me and I know the Father — and I lay down my life for the sheep. I have other sheep that are not of this sheep pen. I must bring them also. They too will listen to my voice, and there shall be one flock and one shepherd.  John 10:14-16

SEEK HIS FACE AND HONOUR HIM:

As the One who is ready to forgive; gracious and compassionate; slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness; who forgives all our sins and heals all our diseases.

PRAY:

• For the Church in Namibia to listen and respond to the voice of the Shepherd, and to willingly follow Him wherever He leads, be it by green pastures and peaceful streams, or through the valley of the shadow of death.

 Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Mt 11:28

• For the Church to be completely surrendered unto the Good Shepherd, trusting that all things will work together for the good for those who trust Him. 
• For the world to encounter the tenderness and immense compassion of the Shepherd, who longs to gather those scattered and lost into His arms, and carry them close to His heart.  
• For children, orphans, broken men and women, the homeless, elderly, sick, and those abandoned to experience His care and provision.

 PRAISE:

The LORD replied, My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.  Ex 33:14

Praise be to the LORD, who has given rest to his people Israel just as he promised. Not one word has failed of all the good promises he gave through his servant Moses. 1Ki 8:56

 Read and meditate on Revelation 16 and 17

Global Day of Prayer 2015 DAY 7 : 20 MAY 2015

DAY 7 : 20 MAY 2015 THE WAY, THE TRUTH, THE LIFE

Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me. My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am. You know the way to the place where I am going.
Thomas said to him, Lord, we don’t know where you are going, so how can we know the way?
Jesus answered, I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. John 14:1-6

Salvation is found in no-one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved. Acts 4:12 

I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile. Romans 1:16

SEEK HIS FACE AND HONOUR HIM:

As the Word who became flesh and dwelt among us, having the glory as of the only Son of the Father, full of grace and truth.
As the One who came to bear witness of the truth, and who desires all people to come to knowledge of the truth.

PRAY:

• For the Church to once again proclaim the undiluted and uncompromising truth concerning Jesus, and that there is no salvation save through Him. John 14:6
• For believers to worship the Father, in spirit and in truth.
• For the veil over the minds and hearts of unbelievers (the world) be removed through preaching of the truth.
• For deception to be exposed, and the ignorant to be enlightened, so that Jesus’ proclamation would be fulfilled: You will know the Truth, and the Truth will set you free!

PRAISE:

The LORD is my strength and my song; he has become my salvation . He is my God, and I will praise him, my father’s God, and I will exalt him. Ex 15:2

Read and meditate on Revelation 14 and 15

Global Day Of Prayer 2015: Day 6: 19 May 2015

 DAY 6 : 19 MAY 2015  THE BREAD OF LIFE

I am the living bread that came down from heaven. Whoever eats this bread will live forever. This bread is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.  John 6:51 

SEEK HIS FACE AND HONOUR HIM:

As the One who was wounded for our transgressions, crushed for our iniquities, and by whose stripes and broken body, we are healed.

PRAY:

• For the Church to be an example in Namibia of real spiritual and physical healing.
• For reconciliation between racial groups to be manifest amongst believers, and for the healing of emotional trauma and pain. Trust God that old wounds will be healed in this time.
• For the family of God to become known as those who willingly share their bread with the hungry, clothe the naked, and provide shelter for the homeless. Pray for the poor living on the borders of Windhoek and the larger towns of Namibia.
• For the world, who are seeking their nourishment from sources that can never bring satisfaction, to receive the Bread of Heaven from the hands and hearts of believers.

 Read and meditate on Revelation 12 and 13

Global Day Of Prayer 2015: Day 5: 18 May 2015

DAY 5 : 18 MAY 2015

For it is in giving that we receive. Francis of Assisi

OUR COMPASSIONATE HIGH PRIEST

For this reason he had to be made like them, fully human in every way, in order that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in service to God, and that he might make atonement for the sins of the people. Because he himself suffered when he was tempted, he is able to help those who are being tempted. Hebrews 2:17-18

SEEK HIS FACE AND HONOUR HIM

As the One who was tempted in all things, just as we are.
As our merciful and faithful High Priest, who is able to help us whenever we are tempted, because He Himself suffered and overcame temptation.

PRAY:

• For the Church to walk in liberty of complete forgiveness and restoration.

• For the Church to overcome temptation, trials, and tribulations and be the royal priesthood that she is called to be.

• For the world to receive the compassion, mercy, and kindness of the High Priest through the ministrations of the Body of Christ. Trust God that the Church in Namibia will open their hearts to those in need.

• For the world to know the power of forgiveness and grace, and open their hearts to the infinite love and tenderness of Jesus Christ, their Savior. Pray that believers in Namibia will set the example to loving and forgiving.

 Read and meditate on Revelation 9, 10 and 11

Global Day Of Prayer 2015: Day 4 : 17 May 2015

DAY 4 : 17 MAY 2015 

OUR ADVOCATE

My dear children, I write this to you so that you will not sin. But if anybody does sin, we have an advocate with the Father—Jesus Christ, the Righteous One. He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world.1 John 2:1-2

SEEK HIS FACE AND HONOUR HIM:

As the Righteous One who intercedes for us, and who through His righteousness justified us so that we, who are in Christ, are no longer condemned for our sins, but forgiven, cleansed and declared righteous, giving us the right to be called the children of God.

PRAY:

• For the people of God to grasp how great is our Advocate’s intercession in heaven on our behalf.

• For believers in Namibia, Africa and all over the world to be clothed with the spirit of prayer and supplication, and join with Jesus and the Holy Spirit in prayer and intercession. Let's go to the throne of God in prayer!

• For the world to realize that there is a Judge in heaven, and that there will be a day of judgment - a day when all will have to appear before the great white throne and give an account of our lives.

• For the world to experience conviction in the hearts and minds of those rebelling against and resisting the message of the Gospel.

 Read and meditate on Revelation 7 and 8

Global Day Of Prayer 2015: Day 3 : 16 May 2015

SON OF MAN

“When Jesus came to the region of Caesarea 
Philippi, he asked his disciples, 
“Who do people say the Son of Man is?”

They replied, “Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, 

Jeremiah or one of the prophets.”

“But what about you?” he asked. “Who do you say I am?”

Simon Peter answered, “You are 
the Messiah, the Son of the living God.”

Jesus replied, “Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah, 
for this was not revealed to you 
by flesh and blood, 
but by my Father in heaven.“

Matthew 16:13-17

SEEK HIS FACE AND HONOUR HIM:

As the promised Messiah, who became human so that He could taste death, redeem us from the curse of the law, and pay the penalty for sin on our behalf.

Honor Him as the One who, through death, destroyed the devil and all his works and delivered mankind from the fear of death.

PRAY:

• For the Church [believers everywhere] to realize and receive their freedom from death, sin, and Satan; and to rise up and take their authority over all the works of the devil.

• For the Children of God to take up their responsibility of sharing the Good News with all peoples, in every nation. May God's family in Namibia grow day by day.

• For the world to be set free from the stronghold of lies and arguments that the god of this world raised in their minds against the knowledge of God; for their hearts to be softened and prepared to receive the word of God and be delivered from darkness.

• Shine, Jesus shine, fill this land - Namibia - with the Father's glory!

Read and meditate on Revelation 5 and 6
