Bi-Weekly Prayer Report for the period 8th to 21st Sept 2008
- ZIAH: The students at this agricultural college had gone on recess and they recently reopened. They have a new intake of first year students. Their Christian Fellowship invited us to go and speak to the new students. About 45 students attended the meeting. We spoke to them from Daniel chapter one on the theme of the resolution that Daniel and his counterparts made. We tried to show them that these 4 young men were equally students in the king’s college. Like all students they faced pressures and challenges which required a firm and unwavering commitment in God for them to face. Because of their faith in God, they triumphed and they became an evangelistic witness to all around. Do pray for the students at this college especially for the first years so that they make the right decisions. Pray that instead of behaving like the prodigal son, many should find a living relationship with Christ.
- Sheba: We have continued counseling sessions with Sheba. We pointed out to her that she needed to be in a good church where her soul would be fed if she was to experience a speedy recovery. It was good to see her show up at church last Sunday. Continue to pray for her especially as she needs to make critical decisions with regards to marriage and careers.
- Merit Muposhi: Merit has been staying with a man who abandoned his wife and family a couple of years ago. But as she has listened to God’s word and more especially our series in John 4 looking at the Samaritan women, she has come under increasing conviction. She requested to see the pastor and she explained that she has now believed in Christ but wondered if God would forgive her for ‘grabbing’ another woman’s husband. She went on to explain that she does not want to stay with a married man and wondered whether she should leave him until he finalises the divorce with his legitimate wife. We need God’s wisdom to handle this matter because there are two possibilities. Either she is trying to use scripture to put pressure on the man to quicken up the divorce process so that she can ‘legally’ become his wife, or she has genuinely come under conviction of sin. Complex and crafty as human beings can be, do pray with us that we might know discernment concerning this matter. Pray for her man friend, Ivan who professes to be a Christian but has been living in sin that he should come under conviction and repent. He diligently comes to church.
- Women’s meeting: The monthly women’s meeting for September is scheduled for this weekend. Having tackled a medical topic last month, we hope to tackle an evangelistic topic this Saturday to challenge the women to faith in Christ. Pray that the Lord will grant us the right message for this occasion. Pray that many will respond positively to our invitation to attend this meeting. Pray that the attendees will not only hear the word but that many will be converted.
