PRAY FOR JAPAN

Some points for prayer taken from OPERATION WORLD

HINDRANCES TO THE GOSPEL

Pray about these ways in which the eyes of the Japanese are blinded to the good news:

—-  The spiritual powers and principalities

—-  The Bible is alien to the worldview of the Japanese

—- The influence of nationalistic Shintoism, which is against anything ‘un-Japanese’ compromises Christians involved with it. Pray for Christians to stand firm in Jesus against this.

—-  Socio-economic life.

“The more you spend the bigger your bonus!”

I am reading that on one page of the “PlaceMakers” flyer that entered our house. The flyer must have flown somehow into our home. You spend $100 and you receive a Bonus Voucher worth $10. You spend $250 and you recveive a Bonus Voucher worth $25. It is really easy! You spend $500 and you receive a Bonus Voucher worth… you can figur that out for yourself, because you are good at Mathematics. The answer is $50!!

I want to ask you a question! Are you concentrating you attention on your “Total Spend” or are you concentrating all your attention on the “Bonus Voucher”? Please let me know your answer!

I am concentrating all my attention on the Total Spend, even more, I am spending only what is necessary to spend. I think you get the drift.

We have to focus on the right things.

That is always so important, especially when it comes to the most important things.

What is the most important thing in your life? For me it is to fix my eyes on the Lord Jesus Christ. (Hebrews 12:2) Why? He is the author of my faith. He is the perfecter of my faith. He is my example.

Here are some more verses from the Bible: (Christ’s Example to be followed.)

Matthew 11:29; Matthew 26:24; John 13:15; Hebrews 3:1; First Peter 2:21.

“AUSBILDUNG AUF DEM KAMPFFELD IST HAERTER ALS TRAINING IM LAGER. ABER SIE MACHT BESSERE SOLDATEN. HERR, ICH TRETE IN DEINEN DIENST EIN. MACHE MICH WILLIG, MICH WILLIG MACHEN ZU LASSEN, DEINEN WILLEN ZU TUN.” – Corrie ten Boom
