January/February 2012 - A Miracle-Working God

Month of Evangelism: TAC Prayer Newsletter

Praise and thank God for His marvelous and wonderful works of grace and power!! Many of you have been interceding for Mark and Ah Seng (a new believer), two young adults from TMC Teluk Intan who met with a terrible accident on their way back after driving Rev Joy Pandian to her new posting in Raub. According to Rev Joy, Mark’s car was a terrible wreck: the top was open, the back was completely smashed up, Mark’s door (he was driving) was ripped off! How did the three men in the car escape with their lives? Wilson Dass, seated in front, escaped unharmed. Mark was warded in Temerloh Hospital and Ah Seng in Ipoh Specialist Centre. They have both been discharged. Mark can speak and is functioning well though he is wearing a neck brace. Ah Seng only has a leg fracture and is on crutches for 3 months. Hallelujah!! What a God we have! Thank You for Praying!

PRAY FOR MALAYSIA 
PRAY FOR MALAYSIA
PRAY FOR MALAYSIA
(Prayer points slightly adapted from ‘2012 24-7 Year of Prayer For Malaysia’)
 
The Government: 1 Timothy 2:1-2 instructs us that we should pray "for kings and all those in authority". If the powers of darkness are allowed to work undisturbed and influence people, they will get control over governments and people in positions of authority. Pray that evil strongholds that control and manipulate people in the political field and positions of authority be pulled down in the Name of Jesus.

Pray Christians will have a deep conviction of justice in their hearts and will rise up to pray for their nation’s leaders. 

Ask God to protect Christians who hold high positions in government; that God will give them wisdom, understanding and competence beyond their natural abilities, so they can use their positions to transform Society; for courage & boldness in their witness & to keep them unspotted, honest and true to God. 

Pray for oppressors & godless leaders that they will lose their positions of power. 

Pray for the salvation of our nation’s leaders, for conviction of sin, that they be reconciled to GOD.

The Justice System: For God–fearing judges who uphold justice, especially in cases involving powerful organizations, individuals or government. 

Pray for our police and court systems, that they will protect the weak & vulnerable people in our nation. Pray against any form of discrimination.

Pray that our lawmaking be reformed and based on love for justice.

For more Christians to speak up for the poor & oppressed. 

Pray for the salvation of prisoners & their families that they can experience God. 

Pray for the abolishing of laws that threaten our freedom of belief & other rights.
