Part 13 (2/2)

=”Be not rash with thy mouth, and let not thine heart be hasty to utter anything before G.o.d.”=--ECCLES. v. 2.

=”And He continued all night in prayer to G.o.d.”=--LUKE vi. 12.

Time is one of the chief standards of value. The time we give is a proof of the interest we feel.

We need time with G.o.d--to realise His presence; to wait for Him to make Himself known; to consider and feel the needs we plead for; to take our place in Christ; to pray till we can believe that we have received. Take time in prayer, and pray down blessing on the mission work of the Church.

SPECIAL PEt.i.tIONS

TENTH DAY

WHAT TO PRAY.--For G.o.d's Spirit on our Missionaries

”What the world needs to-day is, not only more missionaries, but the outpouring of G.o.d's Spirit on everyone whom He has sent out to work for Him in the foreign field.”

=”Ye shall receive power, when the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be My witnesses unto the uttermost parts of the earth.”=--ACTS i. 8.

G.o.d always gives His servants power equal to the work He asks of them.

Think of the greatness and difficulty of this work,--casting out Satan out of his strongholds,--and pray that everyone who takes part in it may receive and do all his work in the power of the Holy Ghost. Think of the difficulties of your missionaries, and pray for them.

HOW TO PRAY.--Trusting G.o.d's Faithfulness

=”He is faithful that promised.” ”She counted Him faithful who promised.”=--HEB. x. 23, xi. 11.

Just think of G.o.d's promises to His Son, concerning His kingdom; to the Church, concerning the heathen; to His servants, concerning their work; to yourself, concerning your prayer; and pray in the a.s.surance that He is faithful, and only waits for prayer and faith to fulfil them.
