Prayer For South Africa: 1 – 7 October

Live as People of light –

You used to be like people living in the dark, but now you are people of the light because you belong to the Lord. So act like people of the light and make your light shine. Be good and honest and truthful, as you try to please the Lord. Don’t take part in doing those worthless things that are done in the dark. Instead, show how wrong they are. It is disgusting even to talk about what is done in the dark. But the light will show what these things are really like..
Light shows up everything, just as the scriptures say
“wake up from your sleep and arise from death. Then Christ will shine on you”
Ephesians 5 vrs 8 – 14

• Pray for our Church leaders, to lead our nation back to God in a miraculous way, pray for revival in our Churches
