North America 

2 Peter 2:4-6, 9

For if God did not spare the angels who sinned, but cast them down to hell and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved for judgement; 5 and did not spare the ancient world, but saved Noah, one of eight people, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood on the world of the ungodly; 6 and turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah into ashes, condemned them to destruction, making them an example to those who afterward would live ungodly; 9 then the Lord knows how to deliver the godly out of temptations and to reserve the unjust under punishment for the day of judgement,

 Prayer Points Romans 1:21-32 

Father, we humble ourselves under Your mighty hand, and ask You to forgive America for the sins of narcissism, vanity, mammon, gross materialism, arrogance, pride, rejection of Christ and His Word that has deceived, demoted and destroyed her as a nation.

• Grant America repentance that she might acknowledge the truth regarding her spiritual blindness and poverty. Hear us from heaven, forgive our sins, and heal our land, in Jesus’ name, Amen.
• Holy Spirit, cause a deep conviction and a great awakening to descend on all hearts starting from the church.

Europe - Let There be Light

Join this HeartCry Prayer - Every Saturday10:30pm - 12:30am (UK time)

1 Samuel 1: 6-7 , 3:1-3 (KJV)

And her adversary also provoked her sore, for to make her fret, because the LORD had shut up her womb. And as he did so year by year, when she went up to the house of the LORD, so she provoked her; therefore she wept, and did not eat.

And the child Samuel ministered unto the LORD before Eli. And the word of the LORD was precious in those days; there was no open vision. And it came to pass at that time, when Eli was laid down in his place, and his eyes began to wax dim, that he could not see; And ere the lamp of God went out in the temple of the LORD, where the ark of God was, and Samuel was laid down to sleep;

The first thing the Lord wants to re-establish with us again is that THE DAY IS BROKEN.

What happens when the day breaks?

1. The sun comes out from the horizon, suddenly the darkness that has prevailed in the night gives way as light shines forth.
2. Suddenly those who were stumbling and tripping over themselves in the dark begin to see clearly.
3. When the sun dawns, all other inferior lights like candles, electricity, lamps pale into insignificance; in fact, the sun outshines them and they are no longer useful or required.

 In the Europe of today:

• Darkness prevails in Europe as it did in Israel in the days of Hannah; our adversary is provoking us sore.
• The lamp has gone out in the temple and Jesus has become scarce on the streets of Europe.
• Our Lord has been rendered impotent in the eyes of the world as with Eli and his family.
• The cross of Jesus has been obscured for generations in Europe, yet those who are meant to push the cross have exchanged it for their bellies.
• Any wonder why Europeans are falling for anything and everything but Christ?
• Just as in Hannah’s days, even today the 21^st of March 2016, God is set to move and has proclaimed ‘LET THERE BE LIGHT’ over Europe.

In Hannah’s days, her son was the answer to the darkness of her generation. Samuel was the carrier of God’s light to Israel in the days of Hannah. 

In the Europe of today, apart from our Peters, James, Johns, Phillips, Pauls, Barnabas, Lydias, Priscillas, God intends to send His light via our Samuels, John Marks, Timothys, Isaacs, Naaman’s house helps.

1 Samuel 3:4-11 (KJV)

That the Lord called Samuel: and he answered, Here am I.  And he ran unto Eli, and said, Here am I; for thou calledst me.

And he said, I called not; lie down again. And he went and lay down. And the Lord called yet again, Samuel.

And Samuel arose and went to Eli, and said, Here am I; for thou didst call me. And he answered, I called not, my son; lie down again.

Now Samuel did not yet know the Lord, neither was the word of the Lord yet revealed unto him.

And the Lord called Samuel again the third time. And he arose and went to Eli, and said, Here am I; for thou didst call me. And Eli perceived that the Lord had called the child.

Therefore Eli said unto Samuel, Go, lie down: and it shall be, if he call thee, that thou shalt say, Speak, Lord; for thy servant heareth. So Samuel went and lay down in his place.

And the Lord came, and stood, and called as at other times, Samuel, Samuel. Then Samuel answered, Speak; for thy servant heareth.

And the Lord said to Samuel, Behold, I will do a thing in Israel, at which both the ears of every one that heareth it shall tingle.

1 Samuel 1:10-11,17-18, 24-26 (KJV)

And she was in bitterness of soul, and prayed unto the LORD, and wept sore.

And she vowed a vow, and said, O LORD of hosts, if thou wilt indeed look on the affliction of thine handmaid, and remember me, and not forget thine handmaid, but wilt give unto thine handmaid a man child, then I will give him unto the LORD all the days of his life, and there shall no razor come upon his head

Then Eli answered and said, Go in peace: and the God of Israel grant thee thy petition that thou hast asked of him.

And she said, Let thine handmaid find grace in thy sight. So the woman went her way, and did eat, and her countenance was no more sad.

And when she had weaned him, she took him up with her, with three bullocks, and one ephah of flour, and a bottle of wine, and brought him unto the house of the LORD in Shiloh: and the child was young.

And they slew a bullock, and brought the child to Eli.

And she said, Oh my lord, as thy soul liveth, my lord, I am the woman that stood by thee here, praying unto the LORD.

Prayer Points| GIVE ME A MAN CHILD

•       Give me a man child; mention the names of your children one by one and ask the Lord, please give me a man child in……

•       Lord, look upon my affliction; please look upon the raging of Peninnah in my generation, in my church, in my home, in Europe and give me a man child.

•       Lord, let me find grace; let your mercy reach me. Oh Lord, your manifold grace, your great grace, let Him visit me and give me a son and a daughter that will silence the rage of Peninnah and her millions of children in Europe.

Prayer Points| CALL MY SAMUELS BY THEIR NAMES

•       Call my son and my daughter by name; let them hear for themselves, the call of heaven.

•       Let them hear the call of their Lord; let them hear their Master calling them by their very names.

•       Let them see what happened to them at Calvary; let your grace save them.

•       Lord, reveal Your Word to my Samuels; it has to be a personal revelation of the Word of the Lord to them. Lord open their eyes, open their hearts, open their minds.

•       Tear the veil of the natural man of the faces of my Samuels in the name of Jesus; dislodge every planting of the world system, of ‘Mr. Flesh’ that obscures the cross and renders it useless in their eyes.

•       Call my Samuels as many times as they need for them to recognise your voice.

Prayer Points | RECOVER OUR SAMUELS

1 Samuel 2: 1-4 (KJV)

And Hannah prayed, and said, My heart rejoiceth in the LORD, mine horn is exalted in the LORD: my mouth is enlarged over mine enemies; because I rejoice in thy salvation. There is none holy as the LORD: for there is none beside thee: neither is there any rock like our God. Talk no more so exceeding proudly; let not arrogancy come out of your mouth: for the LORD is a God of knowledge, and by him actions are weighed. The bows of the mighty men are broken, and they that stumbled are girded with strength.

•       I have stumbled Lord in raising these my Samuels, please Lord, I have made many mistakes.

•       Lord, I ask for your mercy.

•       Gird me with strength now in this day break to live out the life of Christ, to teach the life of Christ, to allow You to live Your live through me and impart my Samuels.

•       Lord let the life of Christ be transferred through my daily contact with my Samuels.

RECOVER OUR SAMUELS, O LORD, IN THIS DAY BREAK.

START YOUR RECOVERY PLAN FOR OUR SAMUELS, O LORD!

Prayer Points|  LEND YOUR SAMUELS TO THE LORD

1 Samuel 3:10-11 (KJV)

And she was in bitterness of soul, and prayed unto the LORD, and wept sore.

And she vowed a vow, and said, O LORD of hosts, if thou wilt indeed look on the affliction of thine handmaid, and remember me, and not forget thine handmaid, but wilt give unto thine handmaid a man child, then I will give him unto the LORD all the days of his life, and there shall no razor come upon his head

LET US DELIBERATELY HAND OVER OUR SAMUELS TO THE LORD, MENTION THEM BY NAME AND ASK HIM TO HELP HIMSELF TO THEIR LIVES AS THE LIGHT BEARERS, THE RODS THAT GOD WILL SEND OUT OF ZION TO RULE IN THE MIDST OF HIS ENEMIES AND SHINE AS LIGHT ALL OVER EUROPE.

ASIA

Asia is the biggest continent in the world with 50 independent countries.

The largest of the Asian countries by area is Russia, which occupies about 30% of the total territory of the continent. The smallest one of the independent states is the Maldives.

The most visited by tourists country in this region is China as a huge cultural centre, followed by popular destinations like India, Thailand, Malaysia, Turkey.

• At the beginning of this century 64% of all Christians lived in Europe and North America.
• Today Asian Christians make up only 10% of the world population of Christians. And in their own countries Asian Christians represent a mere 3.5% of the population of Asia. So in most of Asia, Christianity is a minority religion submerged in other cultures.
• The Gospel has a long, noble, and interesting history in Asia. Missionary and historian Dr. Samuel Moffett* in a recent book tells us that "The church began in Asia. Its earliest history, its first centers were Asian. Asia produced the first known church building, the first New Testament translation, perhaps the first Christian king, the first Christian poets, and even arguably the first Christian state. Asian Christians endured the greatest persecutions. They mounted global ventures in missionary expansion the West could not match until after the thirteenth century."
• Christianity began in Asia! Jesus spent all of his earthly life in Palestine, on the continent of Asia, and the early church had its strongest congregations in Asia Minor (which, conquered by Islam, has become modern Turkey.)  When the church began on the day of Pentecost there were plenty of Asians there, people from Persia, Medea, and Mesopotamia (modern Iran and Iraq), Cappadocia, Pontus, Phrygia and Pamphylia (modern Turkey). Some of these Asians were undoubtedly among the three thousand who were baptized that day. They returned to their homes with much to tell about Jesus.
• The apostle Paul went first to the cities of Asia Minor. Galatians, Ephesians, and Colossians were epistles written to Asian churches. The churches of Revelation 2-3 (Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, etc.) were all in Asia Minor.

Nehemiah 2:11-18

¹¹ So I came to Jerusalem, and was there three days.

¹² And I arose in the night, I and some few men with me; neither told I any man what my God had put in my heart to do at Jerusalem: neither was there any beast with me, save the beast that I rode upon.

¹³ And I went out by night by the gate of the valley, even before the dragon well, and to the dung port, and viewed the walls of Jerusalem, which were broken down, and the gates thereof were consumed with fire.

¹⁴ Then I went on to the gate of the fountain, and to the king's pool: but there was no place for the beast that was under me to pass.

¹⁵ Then went I up in the night by the brook, and viewed the wall, and turned back, and entered by the gate of the valley, and so returned.

¹⁶ And the rulers knew not whither I went, or what I did; neither had I as yet told it to the Jews, nor to the priests, nor to the nobles, nor to the rulers, nor to the rest that did the work.

¹⁷ Then said I unto them, Ye see the distress that we are in, how Jerusalem lieth waste, and the gates thereof are burned with fire: come, and let us build up the wall of Jerusalem, that we be no more a reproach.

¹⁸ Then I told them of the hand of my God which was good upon me; as also the king's words that he had spoken unto me.  And they said, Let us rise up and build. So they strengthened their hands for this good work.

PRAYER POINTS

• Behold us and remove the reproach on Christianity in Asia
• These nations have turned away from the living God to follow strange gods, they have done evil in the sight of the Lord. Father, revive your work in Asia and in judgement remember mercy.
• Let your mercy prevail on this continent
• Lord, raise the Nehemiahs and Gideons  who will rebuild broken down walls in Asia
• Father  deliver the continent of Asia from strange cultures contrary to your plan for Asia
• Every nation that lieth in waste and every gates that have been burned with fire of strange religion, idol worship Lord visit them in mercy in the name of Jesus.

 Psalm 33:8-12

8 Let all the earth fear the Lord: let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him.

⁹ For he spake, and it was done; he commanded, and it stood fast.

¹⁰ The Lord bringeth the counsel of the heathen to nought: he maketh the devices of the people of none effect.

¹¹ The counsel of the Lord standeth for ever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations.

¹² Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord; and the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance.

PRAYER POINTS

• Let the fear of the Lord fall on all the inhabitants of Asia, and let them stand in awe of Him.
• May all the counsel of the heathen in the continent of Asia come to nothing and may the devices of the people be of no effect.
• Father, let your counsel concerning Asia stand forever and the thought of your heart to all generations.

Ezekiel 14:6     “Therefore say to the people of Israel, ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: Repent! Turn from your idols and renounce all your detestable practices!

Matthew 24:14   And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.

Asia - Occupy Till I Come

Join this HeartCry Prayer - Every Saturday10:30pm - 12:30am (UK time)

There are 50 independent countries in Asia of which Christianity constitute a widespread minority.  According to Britannica Book of the year 2014, there are 364 million Christians in Asia constituting 12.6% of total population.

Out of the 50 countries only 6 countries are predominately Christians. They are Asia Russia, Cyprus, Philippines, East Timor, Armenia and Georgia.

CYPRUS

Christianity in Cyprus is the largest religion making up 78% of the Islands population. The largest branch is the Greek Orthodox Church, while the rest are smaller religious groups of Anglicans, Roman and Latin Christians, Maronite, Armenian Orthodox, Greek Evangelic, Jews and others.

Islam forms about 18% of the population and this is mainly in Northern Cyprus.

In the Orthodox Church the doctrine emphasises on the mystery of God’s grace rather than salvation, through works and knowledge. They recognise the seven sacrament: baptism in infancy, followed by confirmation with consecrated oil, penance,( reconciliation), Eucharist (Holy Communion), Matrimony (Marriage), ordination and unction in time of sickness or when near death. For much of the population, religion is centred on prayer at home, reverence or worship of icons, and observance of certain feast days of the Orthodox calendar. (Wikipedia)

Acts 13:2-4

As they ministered to the Lord, and fasted, the Holy Ghost said, Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I have called them.³ And when they had fasted and prayed, and laid their hands on them, they sent them away.⁴ So they, being sent forth by the Holy Ghost, departed unto Seleucia; and from thence they sailedto Cyprus.

 Romans 10:1 -4 KJV

Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved.² For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge.³ For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God.⁴ For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone that believeth.

Prayer

·         Thank God for the continent of Asia most especially for Cyprus.

·         Lord, it is your desire for all to be saved; send forth help to the Christians in Cyprus.

·         Lord , open the gate/door of Cyprus to the complete Gospel of Christ Jesus.

·         They have zeal but not according to knowledge, Lord, grant them wisdom to see clearly and really understand who Christ is and all that he has done for them. Cause them to know you the only True God.

·         Lord, deliver them from every fragmented gospel.

·         Lord Jesus, we submit Cyprus and the whole of Asia and its people at the feet of the Cross. Let your Word, the full gospel find expression in the land and the heart of the people of Cyprus and Asia.

  

Romans 10: 13 – 15 KJV

¹³ For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved ¹⁴ How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher?¹⁵ And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things

Prayer

·         Lord, stir up the hearts of all those in Cyprus to believe you. Let faith arise in the heart of the people.

·         Every obstruction to believing, every doctrinal issue that is not in line with the word of God, we remove, destroy and uproot. Replace every hardness of heart with a heart of flesh. A heart that is receptive to the complete Gospel of Jesus.

·         Open the ears of the people of Cyprus to hear your Word. Remove every hindrance to hearing.

·         Lord, raise men who have encountered the Cross to preach the Word. Men whose message will be Jesus and Him crucified.

·         Raise men who have denied themselves, taken up their Cross to follow you. Men not seeking gratification and fame.

·         Lord, raise disciples in Cyprus, men who will replicate the life of Jesus in others.

·         Holy Spirit, grant your children boldness to GO and teach your people the complete Gospel, the Full Gospel of our Lord.

·         Lord, lay hold of Cyprus and the continent of Asia. We lay claim to our inheritance of given us the nations. Cyprus and the whole of Asia are part of this inheritance and we receive them unto the Lord with a heart of thanksgiving.  Lord, we are grateful.
