Once again, we are embarking on a journey of fast and prayer for 40 days for our nation! It's indeed an exciting time to pray for a revival in our nation. This year's theme is Loving Our Neighbor.
How should we define "neighbor"? I believe if you have the prayer booklet, you'd have read about this already in the "Editor's Meassage". If you don't have, you can download it from the link at the end of this post. Generally, "neighbor" would mean all those around us, no matter what race, culture or skin color.
So, let's ask God to give us a strong burden and passion for our neighbor, including M. In our nation, we know that there are restrictions in sharing the gospel. We can't share to everyone. We truly need to exercise wisdom in sharing the gospel, especially to those who have been restricted. We can't share openly and directly, but I believe actions speak louder than words. Jesus himself said in John 13:34-35,
34"A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. 35By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another."
When we love one another, others will know that we belong to Jesus! Need we say much? We just need to live out the Word of God in our lives. One day, when the door of the Gospel is opened to this nation, there'll be great revival. At the moment, let's live our lives to be a testimony.
During this 40 days, let's fast and pray with all our hearts, believe that revival will come to this land. To know about true fasting, you can read Isaiah 58.
