PRAISE
“And many nations shall join themselves to the Lord in that day, and shall be my people. And I will dwell in your midst, and you shall know that the Lord of hosts has sent me to you.” (Zechariah 2:11)
KINGDOM COME
“Then the King will say to those on his right, ’Come, you who are blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.’” (Matthew 25:34-36) Thank You Lord that you have prepared Russians to enter your kingdom from the foundation of the world. May every believer in this nation do the good works (feeding then hungry; giving water to the thirsty; etc.) that you prepared in advance for them to do (Ephesians 2:10)
PRAY THE BOOK OF ACTS
“Proclaiming the kingdom of God and teaching about the Lord Jesus Christ with all boldness and without hindrance.” (Acts 28:31) Just as the story of Acts ended with Paul living this verse out. We pray believers in Russia would proclaim the Kingdom of God and teach about the Lord with all boldness and without hindrance until their last breath.
PRAY THE HALL OF FAITH
“Some were tortured, refusing to accept release, so that they might rise again to a better life. Others suffered mocking and flogging, and even chains and imprisonment. They were stoned, they were sawn in two, they were killed with the sword.” (Hebrews 11:35b-37) Give all believers in Russia perseverance in the face of persecution. Comfort them by the great cloud of witnesses that have gone before them, witnesses like those described in these verses.
PRAYER
God, we pray for believers in Russia to discover ways to assess the spiritual health of your work among churches they are starting. https://zume.training/peer-mentoring-groups/
