Prayer For the Nations

When I think of nations I can’t help but remember that they are but a drop in a bucket to God. Think about that. How huge is God’s scope of vision? How utterly immense is His authority over all of creation? While it may be very difficult for any of us to imagine, God can save a nation, in a solitary day.
The familiar passage in Isaiah 59 reminds us that God was looking for just one man who would stand up for truth, and of His amazement that none could be found. One man or woman can make a difference. They always have. All it takes is the strength to bow a knee, and call upon the Name that is above every other name.
Prayer:
Father, I thank you that nothing is too big for You. Nothing can compare with Your power and wisdom. Today I lift my voice to You, that You would be exalted in this nation. I pray that the leaders of this nation would honour and exalt Your Name, and that Your righteousness would be manifested in the market places of this great land. In Jesus’ Name we stand against the foolish dark powers that think they will triumph over You! Nothing, absolutely nothing, can stand against You Oh God, for You are mighty to deliver Your people. Our prayer oh Lord is that You would indeed make haste to deliver, and shine upon this land with Your glory. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

Military might does not make a mighty nation, but rather moral might makes a nation mighty. Proverbs 13:34 tells us that righteousness is what exalts a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people. Our nation as with all nations needs to understand that their legacy will not be seen from the perspective of their humanly wise legislations, or by the size of their welfare programs, but rather by the depth of their devotion and adherence to the laws of the Kingdom of God.
Open mockery of the things of God is prevalent in the halls of governmental facilities, but God will not be mocked for long. As He is the King of all Kings and the Lord of all Lords, soon the frailty of the imaginations of mankind will be shown to be the folly that it is. Godly men and women in the halls of government are assaulted daily with the opportunity to feel undone by the few in their number. However our God is not hindered by the size of the army, but by the size of the spirit.
Prayer:
Father, I pray for those in authority in our land, and particular today for those who bear Your name unashamedly. Father, remind them that there is NOTHING to prevent You from saving by many or by few. Bolster and build their spirits today to trust in You with all their heart. Let them call upon Your Name before every committee meeting and directive they must act upon. Let them choose the fear of God and not the fear of man. And Lord, let them see the reward of their Godly actions, lest they faint in their minds. Strengthen them, encourage them, and bless their families and homes in a mighty way, in Jesus’ Name, Amen

Prayer For World Leaders

Prayer For World Leaders
Heavenly Father, I (we) come to You now in the Name of my (our) Lord and Savior Christ Jesus. I (we) pray for our world leaders that Your Spirit rests upon them.
I (we) believe that skillful and godly wisdom has entered into the hearts of our world leaders and that they will do Your will, Heavenly Father, that they have hearts and ears attentive to Your godly counsel. Lord make them women and men of Your integrity, that we may lead a quiet and peaceful life in all godliness and honestly. I (we) pray that the wicked world leaders shall be cut off and rooted out.
Heavenly Father, You are our Refuge and Stronghold in times of trouble. So we declare with our mouths that Your people dwell safely in this land, and we prosper abundantly. We are more than conquerers through Christ Jesus.
We give thanks unto You Lord that the good news of the Gospel is published in our land. The Word of the Lord prevails and grows mightily in the hearts and lives of the people. We give thanks for this land and the leaders You have given us, in Jesus' Name I (we) pray. Amen.

Prayer for the Lost
Heavenly Father, I (we) come to You now in the Name of my (our) Lord and Savior Christ Jesus. I (we) pray for the lost of the world this day and that every man, woman, and child from here to the farthest corners of the earth be saved. As I (we) intercede, I (we) use my (our) faith, believing that thousands this day have the opportunity to make Jesus their Lord.
I (we) ask the Lord of the harvest to thrust the perfect laborers across these lives this day to share the good news of the Gospel in a special way so that they will listen and understand it, that it will touch their hearts. In the Name of Jesus Christ, I (we) pray with thanksgiving. Amen.

Refuse to Bow to Critics


Refuse to Bow to Critics

Proverbs 4:23 declares, " Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it flow the issues of life."
Do not give more time to a critic than you would give to a friend.  Critical people are hurting inside, and build their lives trying to destroy others.    Constructive suggestions should always be welcomed into your life,  but refuse to allow critical people to manipulate you.  You cannot prove integrity, it must be recognized.  Your authority, loyalty, and integrity may be challenged and questioned, but hold your ground.  Do not allow what other people say about you to change your opinion of yourself.  Jesus was falsely accused, and slandered, but because He knew the ignorance in their hearts, He did not let it affect His self image.  Reject a critical spirit, and embrace the encouragement of others.  Don't worry about looking good to others, just be good.  Who cares if people acknowledge your truthfulness?  Be truthful, regardless of what others think they know about you.  Most people are so busy with their lives, yours is not their total focus.  You know yourself better than anyone.  Their will always be an enemy or enemies in your life that  try to discourage, distact, or derail your assignment.  Ususally by using people who speak words of doubt and fear.  It may even come from wthin yourself.  Do not let all the doubt and fears into your spirit. Be careful what you allow on the inside, guard your heart.

 The Power of God is moving in India through many different men and women of God,  The  Holy Spirit  is moving upon hearts that are fully His.

Some local churches and communities of believers are gathering and praying for the nation of India to experience the Power of revival,  A Great Awakening is sweeping the nation, and multitudes are coming to the Saving Power of Jesus Christ.  Signs, Wounders and Miracles are being done by the People of God.   They are forming an army and a hedge to stand in the gap for India and their local communities to experience the transforming Power of the Holy Spirit.

Singapore


  We  believe in targeting our prayers, people perish because of a lack of knowledge.  The information we provide has been researched through different sources,  and is to be used for the purpose of informed intercession.  We will use natural, practicle tools to arm ourselves with more to fight our spiritual emenies.  Jesus told us to be specific in our asking, praying and requesting.  Use the resources here, along with other sources, to improve your result in praying for the nations.

The English name of Singapore is derived from its Malay name, Singapura (Sanskrit सिंहपुर "Lion City"), thus the customary reference to the nation as the Lion City. Studies indicate that lions probably never lived on the island; the beast seen by Sang Nila Utama, founder of ancient Singapore, who gave the city its name, was most likely a tiger.

 Singapore consists of 63 islands, including mainland Singapore. The main island is widely known as Singapore Island but is officially called Pulau Ujong (Malay: transliterated as island at land's end [of the peninsula]).

Pray for the people in Singapore to improve their means to use natural resources and that their financial  stability improves. 

Singapore has on-going land reclamation projects with earth obtained from its own hills, the seabed, and neighbouring countries. As a result, Singapore's land area grew from 581.5 km2 (224.5 sq mi) in the 1960s to 704 km2 (271.8 sq mi) today, and may grow by another 100 km2 (38.6 sq mi) by 2030. The projects sometimes involve some of the smaller islands being merged together through land reclamation in order to form larger, more functional islands, as in the case of Jurong Island.

Under the Köppen climate classification system, Singapore has a tropical rainforest climate with no distinctive seasons, uniform temperature and pressure, high humidity, and abundant rainfall.  season. From August to October, there is often haze, sometimes severe enough to prompt public health warnings, due to bush fires in neighbouring Indonesia. Singapore does not observe daylight saving time or a summer time zone change. The length of the day is nearly constant year round due to the country's position near the equator.  About 23% of Singapore's land area consists of forest and nature reserves.   Urbanisation has eliminated most of the former primary rainforest, with Bukit Timah Nature Reserve the only significant remaining forest.

Buddhism is the most widely-practiced religion in Singapore, with 33% of the resident population declaring themselves adherents at the most recent census.  The next largest religions, in order of size, are Christianity, Islam, Taoism and Hinduism. The proportion of Christians increased between 2000 and 2010, from 15% of the population to 18%, while the proportion of Buddhists decreased. Other faiths remained largely stable in their share of the population.
There are monasteries and Dharma centres from all three major traditions of Buddhism in Singapore: Theravada, Mahayana and Vajrayana. Most Buddhists in Singapore are Chinese and are of the Mahayana tradition.
Chinese Mahayana is the most predominant form of Buddhism in Singapore with missionaries from Taiwan and China for several decades. However, Thailand's Theravada Buddhism has seen growing popularity amongst the people (not only the Chinese) in the past decade. Soka Gakkai International, a Japanese Buddhist organisation, is practised by many people in Singapore, but by mostly those of Chinese descent. Tibetan Buddhism is also making a slow inroad into the country in recent years.

Pray for the hearts and minds of the people of Singapore are open to the Gospel of Jesus Christ.  Pray the power of the Holy Spirit would fill all the Christians to improve their witness.  Pray that Salvation, Healing, and Deliverance will be the fruit of the work in Singapore.  Father touch the churches in Singapore, fill and empower the harvest workers who are spreading the Gospel to the people there.  Their eyes would be flooded with light and all lies and false teachung about God and His Kingdom would be destroyed.  Reveal Truth, Reveal JESUS, Reveal SALVATION,   IN JESUS NAME  AMEN!
