PRAYERS FOR THE PERSECUTED (CHRIST LIKE) DISCIPLES IN ASIA

Mark 12:1-9 (KJV), Jesus speaking:

¹ And he began to speak unto them by parables. A certain man planted a vineyard, and set an hedge about it, and digged a place for the wine fat, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen [Pastors, General overseers, those in key positions in the Government, Politicians, Entrepreneurs etc.] and went into a far country.

² And at the season he sent to the husbandmen a servant [a Disciple, a carrier of Christ], that he might receive from the husbandmen of the fruit [Christ's life] of the vineyard.

The earth is the Lord’s and the fullness there of; so what did they do?

³ And they caught him, and beat him, and sent him away empty.

⁴ And again he sent unto them another servant; and at him they cast stones, and wounded him in the head, and sent him away shamefully handled.

⁵ And again he sent another; and him they killed, and many others; beating some, and killing some.

⁶ Having yet therefore one son, his well beloved, he sent him also last unto them, saying, They will reverence my son.

⁷ But those husbandmen said among themselves, this is the heir; come, let us kill him, and the inheritance shall be ours. 

⁸ And they took him, and killed him, and cast him out of the vineyard.

Brothers and sisters, this is a typical persecution that is going on in the world today against the Disciples of Jesus. It is common in all nations including ASIA. It is common in our churches, work places and in families. We have brothers and sisters who are been killed / persecuted because of their faith; for their stand for the TRUTH (JESUS).

John 14:6 (ERV) "Jesus answered, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. The only way to the Father is through me."

Jesus in John 15:18-19 (ERV) confirms these. He says:

¹⁸ “If the world hates you, remember that they hated me first. ¹⁹ If you belonged to the world, the world would love you as it loves its own people. But I have chosen you to be different from those in the world. So you don’t belong to the world, and that is why the world hates you.

• We want to pray on behalf of our brethren for strength, grace, courage, and hope just like Jesus did for his disciples in John 17.

• Verses 9-11 of Mark Chapter 12 says: "What shall therefore the lord of the vineyard do? He will come and destroy the husbandmen, and will give the vineyard unto others. ¹⁰And have ye not read this scripture; The stone which the builders rejected is become the head of the corner: ¹¹ This was the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes?

• We want to ask the Lord to replace these husbandmen (hirelings just like in John10:10-15) if they do not repent and turn to JESUS who is the way, the truth and whose lifestyle they have to follow.

• We want these Disciples to be the stones that the builders refused to accept.

• We want the oppressors to know that it is the Lord’s doing for the persecuted Christians to become the head of the cornerstones.

LET US PRAY:

John 16:13 (ERV)

But when the Spirit of truth comes, he will lead you into all. He will not speak his own words. He will speak only what he hears and will tell you what will happen in the future.

• Lord my Father, please always help Your Disciples to listen to Your Spirit when You are leading them into all truth, in Jesus' name.

John 17: 9-10 (KJV) 

I pray for them (Jesus praying for his Disciples): I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me; for they are thine. ¹⁰ And all mine are thine, and thine are mine; and I am glorified in them.

• Lord my Father, please glorify Jesus in the lives of Your persecuted children in Asia, in Jesus' name. Give them the assurance that they are Yours and Jesus is still praying for them, in Jesus' name.

John 17:11

And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are.

•  Lord, please continue to send both physical and spiritual help to Your children in Asia so that they do not feel alone, like Elijah, in Jesus' name.

John 17:12

While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled.

• Lord, please continue to keep Your Children in Your name. Do not let them give up regardless of what they are going through, in Jesus' name.

John 17:13-15

And now come I to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that they might have my joy fulfilled in themselves.¹⁴ I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.¹⁵ I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil.

• Lord my Father, please fill your children in Asia with Your joy and Your Word; and further keep them from the evil on, in Jesus' name.

John 17:16-17

They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.¹⁷ Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.

• Lord, please continue to sanctify Your children through Your truth: Your word is truth, in Jesus' name.

John 17:18-21

As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world.¹⁹ And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth. ²⁰ Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word; ²¹ That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.

•  Lord, please encourage Your children to know that what they are going through will not be in vain but it will stand as a testimony for those who will believe Jesus through their words.

John 17:22-23

And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one:²³ I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.

• Holy Spirit of God, please always bring to their remembrance that their labour and suffering in the Lord will not be in vain but it will be rewarded; and that they have an inheritance for it here on earth and in the world to come, in Jesus' name. Please make them one as well, in Jesus' name.

John 17:24-26

Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world.²⁵ O righteous Father, the world hath not known thee: but I have known thee, and these have known that thou hast sent me.²⁶ And I have declared unto them thy name, and will declare it: that the love wherewith thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them.

• Finally brethren, we want to ask the Lord to please encounter all those who are suffering as a result of ignorance; that the truth of Christ be revealed to them so that they do not labour in vain any further, in Jesus' name. Amen.

Europe: Give Me This Mountain

Join this HeartCry Prayer - Every Monday 10:30pm - 12:30am (UK time)

Christianity is said to be the largest religion in Europe. Christianity has been practised in Europe since the 1st century, and a number of the Pauline Epistles were addressed to Christians living in Greece, as well as Rome. According to a survey by the Pew Research Centre in 2012, found that 75% of Europeans considered themselves Christians.

Catholics were at the time of the survey the largest Christian group in Europe, accounting for more than 48% of European Christians. The second-largest Christian group in Europe were the Orthodox, who made up 32% of European Christians. Although the Protestant Reformation began in Europe, only about 19% of European Christians were part of the Protestant tradition. Russia is the largest Christian country in Europe by population, followed by Germany and Italy.

For at least a millennium and a half, Europe has been nearly equivalent to Christian culture. Europe is said to have rich Christian culture, especially as numerous saints, martyrs and popes were European themselves. All of the popes from 741 to 2013 were from Europe. Europe is said to have brought together many of the Christian holy sites and heritage and religious centres.

With all these, WHY IS EUROPE THE WAY SHE IS? 

Let us look at the answer in Romans 2:17-29. Paul was addressing the Jews, who in this case could be the European Christians:

Romans 2:17-29 Easy-to-Read Version (ERV):

 ¹⁷ What about you? You say you are a Jew (Majority of Europeans are said to be Christians). You trust in the law and PROUDLY claim to be close to God.

¹⁸ You know what God wants you to do. And you know what is important, because you have learned the law.

 ¹⁹ You think you are a guide for people who don’t know the right way, a light for those who are in the dark.

 ²⁰ You think you can show foolish people what is right. And you think you are a teacher for those who are just beginning to learn. You have the law, and so you think you know everything and have all truth.

 ²¹ YOU TEACH OTHERS, SO WHY DON’T YOU TEACH YOURSELF? You tell them not to steal, but you yourself steal.

 ²² You say they must not commit adultery, but you yourself are guilty of that sin. You hate idols, but you steal them from their temples.

 ²³ You are so proud that you have God’s law, BUT YOU BRING SHAME TO GOD BY BREAKING HIS LAW.

²⁴ As the scriptures say, “PEOPLE IN OTHER NATIONS INSULT GOD BECAUSE OF YOU.”

²⁵ If you follow the law (God’s law), then your circumcision has meaning. But if you break the law, then it is as if you were never circumcised.

²⁶ Those who are not Jews (Christ like) are not circumcised. But if they do what the law says, it is as if they were circumcised.

 ²⁷ You have the written law and circumcision, BUT YOU BREAK THE LAW. So those who are not circumcised in their bodies, but still obey the law, will show that you are guilty.

²⁸ YOU ARE NOT A TRUE JEW IF YOU ARE ONLY A JEW IN YOUR PHYSICAL BODY. (Doing charitable works to other poor Nations / people; like we see around us) TRUE CIRCUMCISION IS NOT ONLY ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE BODY.

 ²⁹ A true Jew is one who is a Jew inside. True Circumcision is done in the heart. IT is done by the Spirit, not by the written law. And anyone who is circumcised in the heart by the Spirit gets praises from God, not from people.

Isaiah 49:3-4(ERV) & (KJV): ³ He told me, “Israel, you are my servant. I will do wonderful things with you (I will be glorified in you).”

This is God’s intention for us. But what have we done?

 ⁴ I said, “I worked hard for nothing (I have laboured in vain). I wore myself out (I have spent my strength for nought), but I did nothing useful. I used all my power, but I did not really do anything. So the Lord must decide what to do with me. He must decide my reward.”

This was the cry of a servant of God who realised that all he had been doing for God was NOTHING. Why? 

Like Paul said to the Jews in Romans chapter 2:17-29:

• You bring shame to God by breaking his law”.
• You are not a true Christian if you are only a Christian in your physical body and not inside your heart.
• “People in other nations insult God because of you.”
• You are guilty of the sin you are asking others not to do.
• You get praise from people and not from God in the things that you do.
• You work in the flesh and not in the spirit.
• You teach others but don’t teach yourself; you don’t practice what you preach.

We want to pray for the Christians in Europe, the Kingdom labourers in Europe and for ourselves because we are in it like these:

• O Lord my Father, do not let the labour of my hands and that of your servants in Europe be in vain in Jesus’ name.
• We will not work hard for nothing in Jesus’ name.
• We will not wear out physically in vain in Jesus’ name.
• In this our labour, O Lord, everything we do will be according to Your will, Your purpose, Your pattern and it will be useful to You in Jesus’ name.
• After using all our power in the service of the Lord, it will not produce wind, that is, end up to be nothing, in the name of Jesus.

Isaiah 42:18-25 Easy-to-Read Version (ERV) ¹⁸  “Deaf people, listen to me! Blind people, look and see! ¹⁹ In all the world, no one is more blind than my servant. No one is more deaf than my messenger. No one is more blind than my chosen people, the servant of the Lord.

• O Lord, open our ears to listen and our eyes to look and see (be observant) in Jesus’ name.

Isaiah 42:20 ²⁰ My people see what they should do, but they do not obey me. They can hear with their ears, but they refuse to listen to me.”

• Anything the world system has used to prevent us from obeying or listening to You, Lord, please put Your hand on it and take them away in Jesus’ name.

Isaiah 42:21 ²¹ The Lord wants them to do what is right. He wants them to honor his wonderful teachings.

• Help us to do what is right, O Lord, and honour Your teachings in Jesus’ name.

Isaiah 42:22 ²² But look at his people. Others have defeated them and have stolen from them. The young men are afraid. They are locked in prisons. People have taken advantage of them, and there is no one to protect them. Others take their money, and there is no one to say, “Give it back!”

O Lord, have mercy on us and give our men of courage the strength and boldness to take back what is theirs (Europe), in Jesus’ name.

• Let Your children in places of authority stand for You in Europe in Jesus’ name.

Isaiah 42:23 ²³ Will any of you pay attention to this warning? Will you ever learn to listen? ²⁴ Who let Jacob be defeated? Who let others take what belonged to Israel? The Lord allowed them to do this. We sinned against him, so he let people take away our wealth. The people did not want to live the way he wanted (God). They refused to listen to his teaching. ²⁵ So he poured out his anger on them and brought wars against them. It was as if there were fires all around them, but they didn’t know what was happening. It was as if they were burning, but they didn’t try to understand.

• O Lord, by your mercy and the Blood of Your son, Jesus Christ, please help us listen and pay attention to Your warnings; then send help to us in Jesus’ name before it is too late.

Gen.1:1-3 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.

• Lord, this is the day, establish it firmly on earth, for in heaven Your word stands firm (settled). Psalm 119:89.

Excellence of the Restored Nation

Jeremiah 33:1-12                    

 1 While Jeremiah was still confined in the courtyard of the guard, the word of the LORD came to him a second time: 

2 “This is what the LORD says, he who made the earth, the LORD who formed it and established it—the LORD is his name: 

3 Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know. 

4 For this is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says about the houses in this city and the royal palaces of Judah that have been torn down to be used against the siege ramps and the sword 

5 in the fight with the Babylonians: ‘They will be filled with the dead bodies of the people I will slay in my anger and wrath. I will hide my face from this city because of all its wickedness. 

6 “‘Nevertheless, I will bring health and healing to it; I will heal my people and will let them enjoy abundant peace and security. 

7 I will bring Judah and Israel back from captivity and will rebuild them as they were before. 

8 I will cleanse them from all the sin they have committed against me and will forgive all their sins of rebellion against me. 

9 Then this city will bring me renown, joy, praise and honour before all nations on earth that hear of all the good things I do for it; and they will be in awe and will tremble at the abundant prosperity and peace I provide for it.’ 

10 “This is what the LORD says: ‘You say about this place, “It is a desolate waste, without people or animals.” Yet, in the towns of Judah and the streets of Jerusalem that are deserted, inhabited by neither people nor animals, there will be heard once more 11 the sounds of joy and gladness, the voices of bride and bridegroom, and the voices of those who bring thank offerings to the house of the LORD, saying, “Give thanks to the LORD Almighty, for the LORD is good; his love endures forever.” For I will restore the fortunes of the land as they were before,’ says the LORD. 

12 “This is what the LORD Almighty says: ‘In this place, desolate and without people or animals—in all its towns there will again be pastures for shepherds to rest their flocks.

In the above scripture we see that the people of Israel were at a point of destruction (to bow down to superiority, demolition, knocking down, pulling down, tearing down, and dismantling). Also the North America and all the nations within the Continent are at a similar point.

Satan has come to steal, kill and destroy but Jesus has come so that we can have life and have it more abundantly. John 10:10.

Our heavenly Father has an opposite word for us: "RESTORE" (bring back to a former condition, re-instate, return, repair, renovate).

Prayer Points

ü  Let us pray for all the nations in the North America continent.

ü  Let us thank God for the great invitation to call upon HIM.

Nigeria - Occupy Till I Come

Occupy...Keep Busy...Take Up...March Into...Consume All.

LUKE 19:11-20, 27
11 And as they heard these things, He added and spake a parable, because He was nigh to Jerusalem, and because they thought that the kingdom of God should immediately appear.
12 He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return.
13 And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them, Occupy till I come.
14 But his citizens hated him, and sent a message after him, saying, We will not have this man to reign over us.
15 And it came to pass, that when he was returned, having received the kingdom, then he commanded these servants to be called unto Him, to whom he had given the money, that he might know how much every man had gained by trading.
16 Then came the first, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained ten pounds.
17 And he said unto him, Well, thou good servant: because thou hast been faithful in a very little, have thou authority over ten cities.
18 And the second came, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained five pounds.
19 And he said likewise to him, Be thou also over five cities.
20 And another came, saying, Lord, behold, here is thy pound, which I have kept laid up in a napkin:
27 But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me.

Occupy...

1. “Keep busy with...”
2. “Take up all the available space...”
3. “March into another’s territory by military force for the purposes of conquest  and occupation...”
4. “Consume all of one’s attention or time...”

• This is our Master’s command to His servants – His followers, the ones He trusted with His resources. These ones are His disciples as opposed to mere citizens. Nigeria needs more men and women in every strata to whom Jesus can commit Himself, His life that is light.

• The Master first committed His resources equally to each of His servants and then commanded them to occupy till He returns. There are many in Nigeria in whom Christ is located. They need to go ‘do business’ for the Master; being totally consumed with this mission.

• These disciples were occupying in the midst of citizens who hated the King, they were even profitable in that evil environment. In Nigeria, there is hostility to Jesus (and the message of Calvary) both in society and in the church, yet the Lord’s disciples MUST gain ground by making disciples.

• They marched into hostile territory, conquered, occupied and gained ground for their Master. The only hope for transformation in Nigeria is the Church – a Church ready to forsake all ties to the world and march into the enemy’s camp to rescue those held captive by Satan, a Church that grows in numbers of disciples and not just members.

• There are those disciples who did not occupy till the Master returned. What a waste! The life entrusted to them that was profitable in the hands of the others was rendered worthless because of their short-sightedness.

Luke 19:15 
The glorious thing is this - no matter the opposition, no matter the hostility, no matter the rage, JESUS CHRIST has been set up as KING and He will come and rule those who hate Him! 

Psalm 2:6 
“Yet I have set my king on my holy hill of Zion...” KJV
“Don’t you know there’s a King in Zion…” Message
“I have placed my chosen king on the throne...” NLT

PRAYER:

• Lord, we pray for Nigeria today. We present Nigeria and her 36 states at the throne of grace today. We seek mercy and grace from You for Nigeria today.

• Lord, Nigeria must be occupied for You until You come! We declare Your kingdom come and Your will be done in the midst of Nigeria.

• Father, You have set Your chosen King on Your holy hill of Zion. Let Jesus Christ be Lord indeed over the Church in Nigeria.

• Your Church in Nigeria is the only hope for the transformation of the nation. There is no other way. So, Lord, visit Your Church in Nigeria.

• As the Church in Nigeria arises to pray over the next few days – encounter her in Your mercy. Restore the revelation and preaching of the cross-centred gospel, the complete gospel to the pulpits of the Church in Nigeria.

• Lord, the rods of Your strength are already in Nigeria. Lord, stir them up. Stir up Your Peters, Your Mordecais, Your Esthers, Yours Lydias, Your Obadiahs, Your Annas for the transformation of Nigeria. Lord, position them strategically in every strata of society for Your glory. Use them to make Your enemies Your footstool.

• Lord, cause Your disciples to go to work in Nigeria with what You have invested in them. Lord, let Your life be reproduced in and through them. Make them profitable servants. Help them to gain much ground from the enemy.

• Lord, please help those Your disciples who are not occupying for You. Change their attitudes and stir them up. Let not Your life in them be a waste in Nigeria. In the day of Your power cause them too to catch fresh fire and be free from their complacency and short-sightedness.

• Lord, let many of those who hate You in Nigeria be won into the kingdom for You and let them too become rods of Your strength in Nigeria.

The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at My right hand, till I make Your enemies Your footstool.” ² The Lord shall send the rod of Your strength out of Zion. 

Rule in the midst of Your enemies! (Psalm 110:1-2).
