Pray for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Lands

Intercession 5.1 | NIV

For the propagating of the gospel in foreign parts and the enlargement of the church by the bringing in of many to it.

O let the good news be preached to all creation; Mark 16:15(NIV) for how can men believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? And how can they preach unless they are sent? Romans 10:14-15(NIV) And who can send out workers but the Lord of the harvest? Matthew 9:38(NIV)

Let the people living in darkness see a great light; on those living in the land of the shadow of death, let light dawn. Matthew 4:16(NIV)

Add to your church daily those who are being saved; Acts 2:47(NIV) enlarge the place of its tent, lengthen its cords, and strengthen its stakes. Isaiah 54:2(NIV)

Bring your children from the east and gather them from the west; say to the north, “Give them up!” And to the south, “Do not hold them back.” Bring your sons from afar and your daughters from the ends of the earth. Isaiah 43:5-6(NIV) Let them be accepted as offerings on your altar, and adorn your glorious temple; let them fly along like clouds, like doves to their nests. Isaiah 60:7-8(NIV)

In every place let incense and pure offerings be brought to your name; and from the rising to the setting of the sun, let your name be great among the nations, Malachi 1:11(NIV) and let the Gentiles become an offering acceptable to God, sanctified by the Holy Spirit. Romans 15:16(NIV)

O let the earth be full of the knowledge of the LORD as the waters cover the sea. Isaiah 11:9(NIV)

Introduction and Exhortation to Pray for the Whole Lost World of Mankind

Intercession 5.0 | NIV

The Lord Jesus has taught us to pray, not only with, but for others; and the apostle has appointed us to make supplication for all the saints, Ephesians 6:18(ESV) and many of his prayers in his epistles are for his friends. And we must not think that when we are in this part of prayer, we may let fall our fervency and be more indifferent because we ourselves are not immediately concerned in it; but rather, let a holy fire of love, both to God and man, here make our devotion yet more warm and lively.

We must pray for the whole world of mankind, the lost world; and thus, we must honor everyone, 1 Peter 2:17(ESV) and, according to our capacity, do good to everyone. Galatians 6:10(ESV)

 

I pray, as I am taught, for all men, believing that this is good and pleases God my Savior, who wants all men to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth and of Jesus Christ, 1 Timothy 2:3-4(NIV) who gave himself as a ransom for all men. 1 Timothy 2:6(NIV)

O look with compassion upon the world that is under the control of the evil one, 1 John 5:19(NIV) and let the prince of this world be driven out, John 12:31(NIV) who has blinded their minds. 2 Corinthians 4:4(NIV)

O let your ways be known on earth, Psalm 67:2(NIV) that barbarous nations may be civilized, and those who live without God in the world may be brought to the service of the living God; Ephesians 2:12(NIV) and thus, let your salvation be known among all nations. May the peoples praise you, O God; yes, may all the peoples praise you: May the nations be glad and sing for joy, for you rule the peoples justly and guide the nations of the earth. Psalm 67:2-4(NIV)

O let your salvation and your righteousness be revealed to the nations, and let all the ends of the earth see the salvation of God. Psalm 98:2-3(NIV)

O make the nations your Son’s inheritance, and the ends of the earth his possession; Psalm 2:8(NIV) for you have said, “It is too small a thing for him to restore the tribes of Jacob and bring back those of Israel I have kept”; but you will also make him a light for the Gentiles. Isaiah 49:6(NIV)

Let the kingdom of the world become the kingdom of the Lord and of his Christ. Revelation 11:15(NIV)

Thank God for the Performance of His Promises

Thanksgiving 4.41 | NIV

For the performance of God’s promises.

You have done good to your servant according to your word, O LORD; Psalm 119:65(NIV) and you have been ever mindful of your covenant, the word you commanded, for a thousand generations. Psalm 105:8(NIV)

Not one word has failed of all the good promises that you have promised to your servant David and your people Israel. 1 Kings 8:56(NIV)

And now, how can I repay the LORD for all his goodness to me? Psalm 116:12(NIV) Let my soul be at rest once more and repose in him as its rest, for he has been good to me: Psalm 116:7(NIV) I will lift up the cup of salvation and call on the name of the LORD. Psalm 116:13(NIV) For the LORD is good and his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues through all generations. Psalm 100:5(NIV)

I will extol the LORD at all times; yes, his praise will always be on my lips; Psalm 34:1(NIV) I will sing to the LORD as long as I live; Psalm 104:33(NIV) and I hope to be shortly with those blessed ones who dwell in his house above and are still praising him and who day and night never stop saying: “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty.” Revelation 4:8(NIV)
