God's Honor
02/13/2006
"Those who honor Me I will honor, and those who despise Me shall be lightly esteemed. ... I will raise up for Myself a faithful priest who shall do according to what is in My heart and in My mind. I will build him a sure house, and he shall walk before My anointed forever." - The LORD God (1 Samuel 2:30, 35)
PRAISE:
We are thankful that an expatriate MBB living in our country has returned from an intense time with his family in a neighboring Arabian Peninsula country. He has been through a tough time of questioning and pressure from his family regarding his Christian faith. Pray that he would find an entry-level job in his profession that would give him more independence to pursue his relationship with God more aggressively away from their watchful eyes.
PETITION:
Another university friend came over to read different prophecies about Jesus in the Old Testament. He was amazed at how specific they were! He is from a very religious community, and he had never touched the Bible before. Pray for the Seed of Truth to take deep root & bear fruit.
Pray for local people to be in contact with Christian teaching through the internet. Pray for the publicity of various Arabic websites - that those with internet access would become aware of them and visit them. Pray for God to reach out to people through this media.
Pray also that amid the current controversy in the world about some depictions of Muhammed, that the Lord would protect those who are not directly involved. In times like this, sometimes Western cultural values of "freedom" can cause more harm than good. Pray that the gentleness & kindness & honest balance of the Lord's servants would cause many to hunger intensely for the Lord Jesus.
Pray for “Kevin,” an expatriate MBB that we have brought before the PTAP network previously. He has been in hiding from his family who has threatened to kill him unless he comes back to Islam. He was recently seen by his family in one of our major cities and is now in another hiding place. Pray that he would continue to hunger for God, to draw close to him, to learn in greater ways to trust him with all aspect of his life – including his life itself.
Pray for the ministry of the MV Doulos in Qatar beginning 20 February for several weeks. There have been some difficulties with the government authorities complicating the coordination work of the line-up team. Pray for God’s way to be found over these hurdles.
TESTIMONY:
H.A. is doing well. He is a young man that I have been relating to for several months. We studied John 4 together last night, and he was struck by how the village didn’t believe in Jesus based on the woman’s testimony. They had to see for themselves.
He wondered out loud how different people come to aith. “I pray every night about the obstacles here to people believing in Isa al Messih,” he said. “And I think about how those obstacles might be removed.” How cool is that!
Please pray for him – he has been falsely accused at work of poor communication and lack of team work. He cares about restoring his good name so that Jesus would not be defamed.
