We Are The People

Nehemiah  13:15    “ In those days I saw people in Judah treading wine presses on the Sabbath, and bringing in sheaves, and loading donkeys with wine, grapes, figs, and all kinds of burdens, which they brought into Jerusalem on the Sabbath day. And I warned them about the day on which they were selling provisions.”

Nehemiah was observant and aware of his surroundings even as we should be as servants of God.  He noticed how people were working on the Sabbath Day. Nehemiah warned them for they were breaking one of the 10 commandments.

Today, let our prayers of agreement for our nation include intercession that Christians across America plan their day of worship around the things of God and not commerce.  Some people due to their employment must work on Sunday but others choose to not gather for worship (contrary to Hebrews 10:25)  and use the day for “self” and recreation.  The Lord commands us to seek His kingdom first and His righteousness – then all the things we need will be added to our life like frosting on the cake. Pray also that God’s people believe this truth and practice it.

Special Prayer Focus

    Please pray for families of loved ones lost on the recent airline crashes and the one shot down in Ukraine. Pray that the situations be handled wisely by the world community, especially by our country.  Pray that truth be revealed concerning who was responsible.

Also pray for the crisis in Israel concerning Gaza and Libya, Iraq, Syria, etc.  Pray for the protection of innocent lives and that the world community see the situation through the eyes of truth.  Finally, pray that the United States continue to support our strongest ally in that area of the world, Israel, for in doing so we will be blessed.  Gen 12:3
