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.

  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.

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!
