REC 100 Days Prayer Meeting Day 59 - Tell your mighty acts from generations to generations!

 

 

Silence

1.   Put on your “brakes” and stop for a moment of silence

2.   Wait for God. Breathe deep for God's peace and feel His presence. Exhale your worries.

Praise and Thanksgiving

1.   Think through your day, all the times that made you smile

2.   Thank God for all those moments, and for all those people

3.   Sing a song to praise God (you are welcome to use "Father, I adore you" which I have been singing every morning for the past 20 years or your own choice to praise God)

          Father, I adore You, lay my life before You, how I love You.

          Jesus, I adore You, lay my life before You, how I love You.

          Spirit, I adore You, lay my life before You, how I love You.

      

Confession and Repentance (Subjective Shifting Devotion Method https://bishopsilas.blogspot.com/2009/08/count-down-5-subject-shifting-devotion.html

1.  Pray for the Holy Spirit to shine on you that you are able to discover your sins and be willing to repent:

     “Dear Holy Spirit, shine your light into the places of darkness in my life. Show me my sins, everything that blocks me from encountering God and having Jesus as my Lord. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.”

2.  Through the Holy Spirit, examine yourself for a short silence and then pray:

     "Dear Lord Jesus, thank you for dying on the cross for our sins and being victorious over death and sin. I confess my sins to you(pause, to tell Jesus what the Holy Spirit has shown you). Forgive my sins by your blood and help me follow you. Holy Spirit, fill me that I may be able to receive your gifts to love God and His people. In Jesus Name I pray, Amen."

3.  John Stott's daily prayer of Christlikeness (Christopher J.H. Wright, Cultivating the fruit of the Spirit. Downers Grove, IL: InterVarsity Press, 2017, 13)

           "Heavenly Father, I pray that this day I may live in your presence and please you more and more.

             Lord Jesus, I pray that this day I may take up my cross and follow you.

             Holy Spirit, I pray that this day you will fill me with yourself and cause your fruit to ripen in my life: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control."

    

    The link to today's Time with Abba passages:   http://api.pastoralcareschool.org/twa/

    Time with Abba passages: Psalm 145:1-7; Zachariah2:1-3:10; Revelation 13:2-18; Proverbs 30:18-20

    Today's key passage:

     I will exalt you, my God the King;

    I will praise your name for ever and ever.

       Every day I will praise you

    and extol your name for ever and ever.

 Great is the Lord and most worthy of praise;
    his greatness no one can fathom.

 One generation commends your works to another;
    they tell of your mighty acts.

                      Psalm 145:1-4

Let's have a time to be still and give the Holy Spirit space to speak through the passage we have just read. Offer this time to Jesus as you listen to him. 

   

     My Listening

    The topic I received from Jesus is:  Tell your mighty acts from generations to generations!

    Yesterday we talked about a question being asked by many people: Why God does not take action to take out COVID-19? Why He makes so many people in pain?

    The present crisis of Omicron has become a major threat to the whole world and lots of people are in fear again!

    After reading Zachariah 1:1-6, you may have a better understanding to those questions.

    The fact is that from Old Testament time until now, when God allows natural disasters and sufferings to happen is to teach His people a hard lesson, giving people an opportunity to return to God rather than insisting on their own and destructive ways!

    Today's Psalm 145:1-4 teaches us that the right attitude to live each day is to sing praises to God from generations to generations so that we can experience God's mighty acts as the Israelites experienced!

   May we pray for our church on the 59th  day of our 100 days Prayer Meeting now:

 

Dear Lord Jesus,

Lead us to help our people to sing praises to you from generations to generations so that we can tell your mighty acts to others. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.

 

      Reflect on these questions:

     1. What inspiration have you received from today's catch and what have you heard from Jesus now?

      

      2.  What is your next step to be more closer to Jesus?

     Find an opportunity to share with your family the importance of today's message.
