Day 31 - Jesus, More than a Prophet
On Day 32 we pray Matthew 7:28-29 asking that Muslims would respond to the teachings of Jesus and surrender to him as the King of Kings and Lord of Lords.Transcript:Day 31Today is the last day of Ramadan. Please tune in tomorrow for a concluding prayer and thank you.Today’s verse is Matthew 7:28-29, “And when Jesus finished these sayings, the crowds were astonished at his teaching, for he was teaching them as one who had authority, and not as their scribes.” Muslims believe that Jesus was a prophet, even born of the virgin Mary and performed many miracles. But his status as a prophet comes short of his divinity. Muslims also believe that Jesus was not crucified, instead he was saved by God but was raised to heaven and since he did not die then he did not make atonement for people’s sin. Let’s pray today for Muslims to encounter the true Jesus and become true disciples who love and obey Him.Jesus, we thank you today for your life. That You:6, being in very nature[ God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped;7 but emptied yourself, by taking the form of a servant,being born in the likeness of men. (Philippians 2:6-7)We ask in your name Jesus that you would reveal yourself to Muslims as more than a prophet, but as the Son of God who takes away the sins of the world. Come in dreams and visions, come with miraculous healings and come with faithful teaching of Bible that the resounding witness of creation, miracles and the Word would confirm beyond a shadow of a doubt that there is no other name under heaven by which people might be saved (Acts 4:12). Amen.

Day 30 - The Rock of Salvation
On Day 30 we pray some of the last few verses of the Sermon on the Mount - Houses built on rock or sand.Transcript:Today’s Verses are from Matthew 7: “Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock. And everyone who hears these words of mine and does not do them will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand. The reality is that many people, including Muslims, are building their lives on self interest and self preservation. Investing in careers, relationships, reputation, money, influence, and health. These are all things that will not be able to endure the floods and the winds of life. We need the Rock of Salvation, Jesus Christ, to change us and show us His higher ways.Father, we pray today for Muslims, that the instability of building a life apart from Jesus would prove to be sinking sand. Work among Muslims bringing them to the end of their self-built security that they might see that it is all smoke and mirrors. We ask that you, Jesus, would make yourself known as the true and firm foundation, the Rock of Salvation and the only one worth building our lives, our hopes and futures on. Build your Church among Muslims in South Asia.In Jesus Name, Amen.Content adapted from https://ramadan.prayer.tools/fuel/30

Day 29 - Doing the Father's Will
On Day 29 we pray Matthew 7:21-23 for believers in Muslim Contexts.Content adapted from https://ramadan.prayer.tools/fuel/29Content:Today’s scripture is Matthew 7: 21-23 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.’”In Islam, someone becomes a Muslim simply by reciting the shahada (Islamic declaration of faith) with conviction. Jesus says merely saying ‘Lord, Lord’ will not be enough to enter the kingdom of heaven. Today, as we pray for these people, ponder what it means to do the will of the Father who is in heaven. Father, we pray for churches among these people who would trust Jesus’ teaching, be strengthened by His Spirit, and, with grace and wisdom, acknowledge Christ before others. We also pray for brothers and sisters who, in moments of persecution, have denied Christ out of fear. Restore them to yourself, just as you did Peter after he denied you three times. And for those who will stand before courts and governments to testify to Who You are. Give them the words to speak by Your Holy Spirit. And let the judges, lawyers, and officials Who are listening and hearing be drawn to You. Draw them to Yourself, Lord. In Jesus name, Amen.

Day 28 - Known by the Fruit
On Day 28 we pray for Muslims to desire real fruit that comes from the heart and for the Church in Muslim contexts to produce fruit that draws people to Jesus.Content adapted from https://ramadan.prayer.tools/fuel/28Transcript:Today’s Scripture is Matthew 7:15-20“Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves. You will recognize them by their fruits… every healthy tree bears good fruit, but the diseased tree bears bad fruit… Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Thus you will recognize them by their fruits.” Like most people, Muslims care deeply about their outward appearance or reputation in the community. In contrast, Jesus cares about the person’s heart. Religion can change outward behavior but can not change inward attitudes—only the Spirit of God can do that. Pray for Muslims to be convicted about their need for a clean heart and to seek out Jesus’ teachings on the topic.Father, we ask for an overwhelming disillusionment from the inability to produce good fruit apart from you. We pray for Muslims to hear and believe the gospel, be filled with your Spirit, and thus bear good fruit. We also pray for churches in Muslim contexts to continually grow deeper in the Word, that both what they believe and how they live will match what your Word says and that you would protect your church helping them discern between prophets and wolves.. In Jesus name, Amen.
