In 1857, an American businessman named Jeremiah Lanphier was sent out by his local church to begin a noon-day prayer meeting on Fulton Street, right around the corner from Wall Street in New York City. A simple prayer, a willing heart, and an act of obedience resulted in city transformation throughout the United States.
However, at that very first meeting, no one showed up in the first 35 minutes. But Jeremiah waited. Gradually, six people wandered into the room at 35 minutes past the hour. Six months later, 10,000 people were meeting for prayer throughout New York City. This led to one of the greatest spiritual renewals in the United State's history.
24 Sept-The Church
Please remind me to pray instead of complain, to pray instead of get angry, to pray instead of feel sorry for myself.
When the Body of Christ - the Church puts its collective resources together to solve societal issues, our enemies; crime, poverty, sexual perversion, etc. will fall by the sword of a unified Church.
25 Sept-God is God of Success
Dear God, today I come to you and ask for a special touch upon the leaders of the United States [Malaysia] and upon those who must make decisions that affect the world economic and financial conditions. Please provide wisdom and clarity of mind.
"If you fully obey the LORD your God and carefully follow all his commands I give you today, the LORD your God will set you high above all the nations on earth" (Deut 28:1-2).
26 Sept-God is God of Success
Dear God, I pray for teens and for adults who may be trying to live in "Never, never land" and not grow up, that you would guide them to become mature, to remain or become pure, and to serve You in daily life and ministry. I pray for the proper nurturing environment and spiritual enlightenment to come their way. May they grow stronger in their faith each and every day, and may that faith always be in You, "Abba" Father. In Jesus' name, amen.
