For Your Prayers this week

For Your Prayers

During our Covenant Service, our second promise was:

I WILL WORK TO PROTECT THE UNITY OF MY CHURCH: By acting in love toward other members; By refusing to gossip and By following the leaders.

Monday

• Please ask the Holy Spirit how you’ve not kept these promises and ask for God’s forgiveness. Also, ask Him to show you how you can better practice these promises, and ask God to fill you with the Holy Spirit and empower you to do so.

• Please read Romans 8:29 and ask God to help you, your Christian family members and our fellowship to become more Christ-like.

Tuesday

• Please use our Church activities sheet to pray for each item and those involved to be led and empowered by God the Holy Spirit, so everything is done for God’s glory. Also, ask God how He wants you to be involved in church life.

• During prayer week we learnt that through His death the Lord Jesus offers every human liberation from our universal enslavement to the fear of death (Hebrews 2: 14-15). Please pray for our Doors Ministry on Saturday 14th February from 9.15am to 12pm, and please make time to join to share Christ’s life changing message with others.

Wednesday

• Please read Psalm 2 and use vs. 10-12 to pray for leaders at all levels to act in line with these words. Please pray that godly Christian leaders will have courage to speak truth to power against all injustice and evil. Please pray we’ll also speak out as God calls us. Please pray that God will send appropriate help to places recovering from natural disasters.

Thursday

• Please pray for our persecuted sisters and brothers around the world, bravely living and witnessing for Christ, to be strengthened by God, and empowered by the Holy Spirit to live for God’s glory in their difficulties. Please visit the Open Doors website to pray for North Korean other persecuted believers.

Friday

• Please pray for our government to serve with wisdom so we can “live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness”, so enabling us to share the gospel (1 Timothy 2: 2).

• Please pray that our government will serve everyone, with particular regard for the poor and vulnerable

Saturday: Please praise & thank the Lord that Sansha’s brothers, Ashley is cancer free and Garvey does not ned knee-replacement, but only physiotherapy. Please pray that God’s physical healing will pierce their heart so they seek spiritual healing, which Christ alone offers. Please thank the Lord that Ps. Alan’s cancer treatment is effective and that he’ll be protected from the side effect of being more prone to infections. Please thank the Lord that Alan Kelloway is now home, and for how his sons are caring for him. Please let God’s answers to prayers for these people encourage you to pray with faith for God to heal Margaret

May who is in hospital with blood infection, and broken vertebrae; Michael Wren, who will be having treatment for lymphoma on his kidney and Darren Everett’s kidney function to be fully restored. Please pray that the Lord will heal Neville, Vee’s husband whose health is failing; Vee is Hyacinth’s friend, who helps at English class.

Please pray for the Lord to meet all physical, financial, spiritual, and other needs in the fellowship.

Sunday: Please pray for yourself and everyone who gathers at TRBC, to worship the Lord in spirit and in truth. Please pray that each of us will hear and respond to His specific word to us.
