Europe: The Day Has Broken Upon Us

Join This HeartCry Prayer- Every Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday 11.30am -1.30pm (UK Time)

The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool.
The Lord shall send the rod of thy strength out of Zion: rule thou in the midst of thine enemies.
Thy people shall be willing in the day of thy power, in the beauties of holiness from the womb of the morning: thou hast the dew of thy youth.
The Lord hath sworn, and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek.
The Lord at thy right hand shall strike through kings in the day of his wrath.
He shall judge among the heathen; he shall fill the places with the dead bodies; he shall wound the heads over many countries.
He shall drink of the brook in the way: therefore, shall he lift up the head.


EUROPE GIVE ME THIS MOUNTAIN
God of creation/Genesis 1:1-5
In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
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.
And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.
And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.

How can they believe if they have not heard?
Rom 10:14-17
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?
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!
But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report?
So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

Rods in their youth
•       Traced for us all the revivals of the old & new testaments and centuries past and showed us categorically that children and youth are the vital forwards in the army that ushers in revival in any generation
•       The question was, what of the 21st century, can revival happen in our time, through our youths? 
•       The conclusion was Yes, if the Lord did not withhold from those who
•       We prayed Lord tear the veil, Lord enlarged their hearts, Lord open their eyes.
•       Give our children, teenagers and youth a vision upgrade, oh Lord.



NATIONS OF PEOPLE PLATFORM
•       The Lord has been showing us the missing dimension(s) in the life of our young people. He has detained us there and not allowed us to move to any other “nations of people”
•       1st He used the life of Stephen to show us that there is the missing dimension of the baptism of the Holy Ghost that turns a man into an agent of transformation in our young people.
•       He said they are filled with all sorts hence no space for the Holy Ghost and we prayed Lord empty them and baptise them.
•       Secondly He showed us the missing dimension of discipleship that took Timothy’s genuine faith imparted by parental discipleship to another level of ministry under the hand of Paul
•       We prayed Lord let the faith our children collect from us be genuine, do not let them despise their youth, let them be an example of the believer.
•       Make us the Pauls, send us the Paul’s under whose hand Timothy will blossom and become a fellow brother, a labourer.
•       Thirdly, He showed us the importance of being the correct audio/visual aid for our young people like Mordecai was to Esther.
•       We prayed, Lord overwrite every idea of child upbringing that is from the old man and the world system, let the New Man in me now begin to give detailed instructions on how He wants to handle His own children for it is God who is the parent now.
•       Don’t let me postpone or delay the out workings of the Mystery of the gospel in my life anymore, so that I will not portray anything of the old man unto the young people around me.
•       We prayed for our young people who have gone AWOL and begged the Lord to show us mercy

Men’s Fellowship
•       The Lord has been showing us how Eli missed it with his sons by not correcting them. He should have disrobed them and taken the office from them, but even he was fattening himself up on the proceeds of their sins
•       David’s dead works which were not decluttered quickly, in fact Solomon was one of the products of his dead works. Although the Lord forgave David and even called Solomon his beloved. The dead works of David His father were amplified to the nth degree in Solomon
•       Samuels could not escape this, his sons took bribe and the sins of the clergy made an entire nation to reject the rule of God and they demanded a king 

Why the recap?
•       It has suddenly dawned on us that the Lord is very deliberately repeating the same matter over and over again on several platforms
•       He has said in the beginning of this year that…He will send His rods out of Zion to rule in the midst of Europe
•       He has shown us many rods and lately He is concentrating on “Rods in their youth”
•       Give me Europe, Nations of young people, messages on Men’s platform at the moment are all intricately linked and God is not repeating Himself for nothing
•       God wants to reach out with the gospel to the young people, why?
•       To bring them to Calvary, to evacuate them, to disciple them, to pour the Holy Spirit upon them why?
•       THEY ARE THE VITAL FRONT SOLDIERS IN ANY MOVE OF GOD IN EUROPE, AND IN ALL THE NATIONS OF THE WORLD

THE WORD OF GOD
Luke 3:1-2
Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judaea, and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip tetrarch of Ituraea and of the region of Trachonitis, and Lysanias the tetrarch of Abilene,
Annas and Caiaphas being the high priests, the word of God came unto John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness.
John 1:19-23 (Isaiah 40:3)
And this is the record of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, Who art thou? And he confessed, and denied not; but confessed, I am not the Christ.
And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elias? And he saith, I am not. Art thou that prophet? And he answered, No. Then said they unto him, Who art thou? that we may give an answer to them that sent us. What sayest thou of thyself?
He said, I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said the prophet Esaias.

THE WORD OF GOD
Hebrews 10:5-7 (Psalm 40:6)
Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me: In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin thou hast had no pleasure.
Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O God.
Luke 4:16-22 (Isaiah 61:1-2)
And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and, as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up for to read.
And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Esaias. And when he had opened the book, he found the place where it was written, The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the broken hearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, To preach the acceptable year of the Lord. And he closed the book, and he gave it again to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue were fastened on him.
And he began to say unto them, This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears.
And all bare him witness, and wondered at the gracious words which proceeded out of his mouth. And they said, Is not this Joseph's son?

THEY MUST DISCOVER THE WORD OF GOD FOR THEIR PERSONAL LIVES
•       The word of the Lord must come to our youth before they can become this frontline foot soldiers in this outpouring we are trusting God for
•       It must be a personal, specific, individual revelation of this Mystery of the Gospel, all its segments and all it has come to accomplish in their lives
•       It must be a personal , specific individual revelation of what their purpose is in God’s agenda for their generation
•       Yes this will be guided by their human hands God places them under, but it must first of all come to them personally
•       They must discover first of all discover it from scriptures themselves, it may be through their individual quite time, family altar, church services , youth meetings, online meetings, discipleship meetings.
•       Suddenly one day as the word of God is coming through all these different avenues, their hearts must open , their eyes must open. Their ears must open and they must catch a revelation of the truth of God’s word for their own personal lives and begin to run with it.
•       God has no another tool with which to engage His young people except His word.
•       Our job as Pauls , as handlers for them is to give them the word, undiluted, not graded down because they are children, No, to give them this word by teaching and by our own lives. 

Hammer of the right size
Jeremiah 23:29
Is not my word like as a fire? saith the Lord; and like a hammer that breaketh the rock in pieces?
Prayer points
•       Lord send the hammer of the correct size to break open the hearts of your young people
•       Send your word to shatter and scatter everything in the hearts of your young people that have made them at ease with the state of their lives, the state of their faith and the state of their walk with you
•       Send your word to dismantle every structure that the world and its systems have already begun to build in their impressionable hearts in the name of Jesus
•       Send the gospel in its entirety, its fullness, its completeness to your young people and save them.
•       Bring them to Calvary, we beg you on this platform for all our churched children, please Lord use any avenue we beg you bring the Mystery of the gospel to them, Oh Lord we pray. SAVE OUR CHURCHED CHILDREN
•       God will you please bypass, parents, Pastors, youth workers, children teachers, structures within the church that are hindering you from reaching these young people, break down barriers and send your word to them as you did to Samuel.
•       Create an insatiable hunger and thirst for you, your word, the gospel in their young hearts in the name of Jesus 
•        
The heart must be opened
Luke 24:45
Then opened He their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures (KJV)
Then He [thoroughly] opened up their minds to understand the Scriptures (AMPC)
Acts 16:14
One of those who listened to us was a woman named Lydia, from the city of Thyatira, a dealer in fabrics dyed in purple. She was [already] a worshiper of God, and the Lord opened her heart to pay attention to what was said by Paul. (AMPC)
One woman, Lydia, was from Thyatira and a dealer in expensive textiles, known to be a God-fearing woman. As she listened with intensity to what was being said, the Master gave her a trusting heart—and she believed! (MSG)

Prayer Points
•       Lord crack open the heart of our young people to receive your word, for those whose hearts are solid
•       Lord please for some their hearts are still tender, please gently open it to receive your word
•       Lord let them pay close attention to these truth that is being poured into their lives on different platforms and by different people
•       Oh Lord grant them understanding of the scriptures , oh Lord we beg you open their minds, every other thing should give way to the word of God in their minds in the name of Jesus
•       Give them a heart that trust and believes the word of God verbatim
•       Let the faith of the little children which Jesus commended by directed towards your word. Let them believe your word with their child like faith that believes everything and anything.

The heart must tremble
Isaiah 66:2
My hand has made both earth and skies, and they are mine. Yet I will look with pity on the man who has a humble and a contrite heart, who trembles at my word (TLB)
Prayer Points
•       Lord let the hearts of our youth begin to tremble at your word, let them begin to have respect, fear, reverence for your word as to quickly obey it
•       Lord when their errors are pointed out, their sins, please grant them grace to repent, broken before you like David, not to maintain a proud, stubborn heart like Saul
•       For our children who have gone AWOL, please bring any word, any residue of the word of God that they have ever heard before, memorised before, engaged with before, bring to their remembrance and let their hearts begin to tremble, fear and break down in genuine repentance upon remembrance of them
•       Holy Ghost you use the word of God to convict men of sin and judgement, please use any residual word in the hearts of our prodigals to bring them to repentance in the name of Jesus.
•       For those still under the ministry of your word, please use your word to break every stubbornness and pride, let them begin to tremble in repentance in the name of Jesus.
•       Let them begin to know that you are your word and if they disobey your word, they are disobeying you

What is my role?
John 17:19
And so for their sake and on their behalf I sanctify (dedicate, consecrate) Myself, that they also may be sanctified (dedicated, consecrated, made holy) in the Truth.
DECLUTTER EVERY SINFUL HABIT IN THIS PERIOD OF GRACE

Deuteronomy 11: 18-20
Remember my words in your hearts and souls. Write them down and tie them to your hands as a sign. Tie them on your foreheads to remind you. Teach them well to your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and walk along the road. Talk about them when you lie down and when you get up. Write them on your doors and gates
TEACH THE MYSTERY OF THE GOSPEL WITH INTENSITY AND IN ITS ENTIRETY, BY WORDS AND BY LIFE

Galatians 2:20
I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain.
I MUST NOT FRUSTRATE THIS GREAT GRACE AVAILABLE TO ME

Prayer Points
•       Lord help me to maximise this period of grace to ensure the complete obliteration, of burying out of sight any dead works still hanging about my life.
•        One of the reasons for my decluttering is that where my Sarah is buried is where my David will be crowned as King. Lord for the sake of these young ones, oh Lord I beg you give me courage in the Holy Ghost to put dead works out of sight.
•       Grant me too understanding of these truths that you are revealing to me, help me to maintain my stand with daily morning by morning with you, with regular “Alone with God” with you where you can open my ears as you did for Jesus
•       Don’t let me stultify, deaden, nullify, reject, ignore, turn back, set aside, misapply, this great grace that is being revealed to me
•       Holy Spirit please make me an able teacher of your word, help me to create space deliberately in my household to teach the children every time, everywhere at every opportunity the “Mystery of the Gospel”


•       Let the gospel work fully in my life so that I can teach not only by words but by my life.

North America, Occupy till I come



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,

  •  Boldly despising LIGHT/JESUS
  • Scoffing the fear of God and mocking righteousness
  • Removal of prayer in schools and public places
  • Crime gets attention in the news instead of Christ
  • Self magnified instead of Salvation
  • Ministers focus on business booming and not betterment of souls
  • Mammon is the new message not missions
  • Worldly pleasures instead of heaven is the fore most thinking
  • Legalization of same-sex marriage
  • Legalization of marijuana for recreational use e.g., Colorado
  • Justice and kindness fading
  • Gross materialism and fleshly lust becoming gods
  • Bloodiest crimes becoming normal behaviour
  • Pride and Self Righteousness- Rev. 3:17
  • Legalisation of abortion

 2 Chronicles 7: 14


If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. 


 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.
    • Focus on betterment of soul not self
    • Message of the Cross not Mammon
    • Heaven minded not Earthly pleasures
    • Christ gets attention not crimes or celebrity
  • Lord, we pray for the upcoming election in America. Please appoint Your own choice person. Please, Lord make, raise up and dispatch Your Daniels, Esther’s, Deborah’s, Nehemiah’s, Ezra’s and Joseph’s over every sector and state- economics, education, commerce, health, politics

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 21st 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, remember me, your daughter; do not forget me please since you are set to do something in this day break. I ask for a man child in my son and my daughter.
•       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 - Occupy till I come


Join this HeartCry Prayer- Every Saturday 10.30pm-1.30am (UK time)


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.
A  Afghanistan, Armenia, Azerbaijan. B. Bahrain, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Brunei
C Cambodia, China, Cyprus. G. Georgia. I. India, Indonesia, Iran , Iraq, Israel
J. Japan, Jordan. K. Kazakhstan, Kuwait, Kyrgyzstan. L. Laos, Lebanon
M. Malaysia, Maldives, Mongolia, Myanmar (Burma). N. Nepal, North Korea.
O. Oman. P. Pakistan, Palestine, Philippines. Q. Qatar. R. Russia.
S. Saudi Arabia, Singapore, South Korea, Sri Lanka, Syria
T. Taiwan, Tajikistan, Thailand, Timor-Leste, Turkey, Turkmenistan
U. United Arab Emirates, Uzbekistan. V. Vietnam. Y. Yemen.
  • 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.
