Peace in South Africa and in Nelson Mandela Bay. (1 Timothy 2: 1-5)
- Nelson Mandela Bay and South Africa re:
- Outages - the Eskom situation
- Petrol price hike
- Corruption
- State capture
- Crime and violence
- Human trafficking
Pray for the Lord to intervene in each of these situations:
for all corruption to be exposed and rooted out; for the crime and violence in the Bay and in SA to be curbed; the criminals to be identified, arrested and firmly dealt with by our justice sector; for many of the NMB and SA criminals to come to real repentance and true salvation in the near future. (Proverbs 14: 34)
- The Economy: An upswing in the NMB economy; fresh investments in the Bay; Entrepreneurs to be raised up to provide work for the unemployed; our NMB tourism to suddenly flourish with foreign and local tourists visiting the Bay; the recovery of our citrus-growing areas and a good export market; and employment for the unemployed. (Jeremiah 29: 7)
- The Jesus 2022 City-wide Crusade that is planned for NMB in September to be a resounding spiritual success; for the Church Leaders to catch the vision and to prepare their people and venues for this City-wide event.
- Protection over the organisers; God's favour on the organizers as they execute their duties; good health for the organisers, ministers and the evangelists.
- Congregations to begin reaching out to the lost in their area by inviting the lost and the unchurched to the meetings; God to prepare the hearts of the 'invited' to respond positively to the invitation.
- People to come to the Lord, just by reading the handed-out tracts and by watching the Jesus film: for Church members to be willing to host showings of the Jesus Film; the Lord to spiritually revive you, your families, and the congregations with whom you fellowship during this time; your unsaved family and friends to come to true Salvation; and backsliders to return to the Lord
- A mighty visitation of the manifestation of the Living God in NMB..
(Mark 11: 24; Matthew 28:18-20)
Remember the promise:
... pray to the Lord for the city because if it prospers, you will prosper. Jeremiah 29:7
