Slavic Missionary Service

Pray daily for pastors in the Slavic countries (as well as your own) that they will have wisdom and power from God to preach the Word effectually and to care for all of the saints. Pray that the convicting power of the Holy Spirit will accompany the preaching of God’s Word throughout all lands. Ask God to stir up Christians to use their God-given freedom to the fullest advantage in making known everywhere the Gospel of Jesus Christ. “Freely ye have received, freely give” (Matthew 10:8).

Problems of life are solved by enlightenment from God. The longings of the soul are truly satisfied by the light of God’s Word. “Thy word is a lamp to my feet, and a light to my path” (Psalm 119:105). Darkness dissipates when light appears. Jesus has sent His dedicated disciples as lights in the world.

“You are the light of the world” (Matthew 5:14). How illuminating and important it is when a faithful servant of God shares “the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ” (2 Corinthians 4:4). Philip was sent to the Ethiopian eunuch (Acts 8:26-40). Peter was sent to Cornelius (Acts 10:17-48). Paul was sent to Lydia (Acts 16:11-15). Aquila and Priscilla were sent to Apollos (Acts 18:24-28).

“In Your light we see light” (Psalm 36:9). Pray that God will help the missionaries of Slavic Missionary Service to “put on the armor of light” (Romans 13:12) and to “walk as children of light” (Ephesians 5:8). May God direct them to inquisitive individuals and “turn them from darkness to light” (Acts 26:18). And may God help all of us to “shine as lights in the world” (Philippians 2:15).

Fear of man will prove to be a snare, but whoever trusts in the Lord is kept safe.

Proverbs 29:25

The Lord will resume His dealing with the nations, as well as with the Chosen nation, when He has completed the church in this Age of Grace. God is working today “to take out” of the nations “a people for His name” (Acts 15:14). Ask God to empower every witness that is proclaiming this message of love to sinful men. Pray continually that the Holy Spirit will convict men of their need of Christ. “Neither is there salvation in any other; for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved” (Acts 4:12).
