14 JANUARY 2012 GOVERNMENT 1. 1 Timothy 2:1-‐2 instructs that we should pray “for kings and all those in authority.” If the powers of darkness are allowed to work undisturbed and influence people, they will get control over governments and people in positions of authority. Pray that evil strongholds that control and manipulate people in the political field and positions of authority be pulled down in the name of Jesus; 2. Pray that Christians will have a deep conviction of justice in their hearts and boldly proclaim justice to the nations, and will rise up to pray for the nation’s leaders; 3. Ask the Lord to protect Christians who walk in the corridors of power – that they remain steadfast and honour our God in the discharge of their duties. Pray for Christian politicians and public servants to be wise and bold, and not act in a manner that will compromise the rights of Christians to practice their faith freely; that they may be able to use their positions to transform society in a manner that will glorify His name; that God would endow them with wisdom, shrewdness, understanding and competence beyond their natural abilities; that God would grant them boldness and courage in their witness, preserve them unspotted and keep their eye true in the murky processes of political wrangling; 4. Pray for the raising of righteous and moral leadership. Pray for accountability of elected leaders to support legislation that reflects truth, justice and mercy; 5. Pray for transformation of all government administrations, at national and state levels, and that all public servants be righteous and have a deep sense of accountability; 6. Those in career politics and public service who conceive mischief, plot or threaten to pervert or distort justice, or seek to asset grab, be condemned and removed. Pray for oppressors and godless leaders that they will lose their positions of power; 7. Pray for the salvation of our nation’s leaders, for conviction of sin, that they be reconciled to God.
15 A Creative Way to Pray Consider prayer-‐walking or prayer-‐driving! Onsite praying is simply praying in the very places where you seek God’s transforming power. Ask God to “open your eyes spiritually” as you connect and discern the structures and observe around you. Ask God to let you see His plans through His eyes. Prayer-‐driving will allow you to prayerfully cover a larger area. Walking or driving, your call to pray for the government as you drive or walk around key centres of authority and policy-‐making will likely result in a new awareness and spiritual sensitivity to the needs around you and what God plans to do. Place pictures of cabinet ministers, mayors, state assemblymen in your area, leading public servants as well as cuttings of critical public policies for prayer. Put up a listing of all the parliamentary and state seats so that you can pray effectively for upcoming general elections. Matthew 12:18 Here is my servant whom I have chosen, the one I love, in whom I delight; I will put my spirit on him, and he will proclaim justice to the nations. Deuteronomy 16:20 Follow justice and justice alone, so that you may live and possess the land the LORD your God is giving you. Zechariah 7:9 This is what the LORD almighty says: ‘administer true justice; show mercy and compassion to one another.’ Remembering the Nations Jan 27 International Day in memory of Holocaust victims
