GOSPEL GLEANING PRAYER POINTERS

As Jesus taught in the parable about the house built on the sand compared with the house built on the rock, foundations matter. The foundation for every Christian, including among the Erukula people, has two primary focal points. Psalm 119:142 sets the out: Your righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, And Your law is truth. As we pray for the Erukula believers this week, let’s pray they will know their salvation is founded on the righteousness of the Lord Jesus which is imputed to them on the basis of faith. It is a righteousness that will stand every storm. Also, let’s pray they will trust God’s Word above every other word they may hear. It is from God’s Word alone that true Truth comes. While we’re at it, let’s pray the same thing for us!
A perfect storm has hit Chad and Niger. We can pray this week just as we prayed last week. Rebel fighting has resulted in hundreds of refugees. The flooding that continues to be present has displaced millions of acres of farms and families. Last year’s harvest was low because of reduced availability of fertilizer. Now, millions are facing a year where they do not know from whence their food will come. All this makes for conditions that will allow Christians wanting to help in this emergency be welcomed among the people. As Chadian and Niger Christians brings aid to those in need, they also will bring the food that endures to eternal life, that is, the gospel of Jesus Christ. Pray for their wisdom and compassion and boldness in the Lord to result in life and eternal life for many. How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news of good things. (Isaiah 52:7/Romans 10:15)
