We thank you Lord for the cross; you humbled yourself and was willingly despised because of your great love to us. Make us to be more like Jesus the humble one, the meek one! Worthy is your name Jesus

ABANDONED DEVOTION IN SOUTH AFRICA

Isaiah 40:6-8

A voice says, “Cry out.”
    And I said, “What shall I cry?”

“All people are like grass,
    and all their faithfulness is like the flowers of the field.
⁷ The grass withers and the flowers fall,
    because the breath of the Lord blows on them.
    Surely the people are grass.
⁸ The grass withers and the flowers fall,
    but the word of our God endures forever.”

• Lord open the eyes of your people in South Africa so as they will hunger and thirst after you Lord
• Teach them how to rely on you Lord
• That pastors will preach your word and not preach prosperity
• That there will be an emergence of true disciples; every believer will give deliberate time and energy to seeking your face and that these believers shall be faithful to teach others all the things Christ has taught them
• That there shall be a return to the basics of your word

1 Peter 4:17-18

¹⁷ For it is time for judgment to begin with God’s household; and if it begins with us, what will the outcome be for those who do not obey the gospel of God? ¹⁸ And,

“If it is hard for the righteous to be saved,
    what will become of the ungodly and the sinner?”

• We repent of all the sexual immorality, prostitution, polygamy in South Africa and we pray that the believers in South Africa church will choose to do away with all the immorality and instead follow your word faithfully
• Change their hearts from being those of stones to hearts of flesh so as they will obey you faithfully
• We pray for a generation that is rooted in your word so as to be able to discern false teachers and false doctrines

SPIRITUAL AWAKENING

• That the believers in this country will choose to do away with every cultural way of life that do not glorify your holy name e.g. polygamy etc
• Lord may you increase their ability to hear your voice and speak to them through dreams, visions, small still voice
• Help them to know that revival will only take place when they repent of their sins and wickedness and that they will embrace your righteousness, peace and justice
• We pray that the body of Christ in SA will be one just as God the father, God the son and God the Holy Spirit are one 

MESSAGE BEARERS
