Prayer Pointers- Week 18

Prayer Pointers- Week 18

These few weeks I'll be sharing about Joseph(not me) and the lessons learnt from him....

Lesson learnt from Joseph - Always Victorious, Even in Suffering

..."It is because God has made me fruitful in the land of my suffering."

- Genesis 41:52,NIV

Joseph was facing a lot of suffering, being plotted to be killed by his brothers, being thrown into the dungeon... But in the land of suffering, if Joseph were to just give up doing the work of God where he was placed for that purpose - interpreting dreams, then he would have not been fruitful in the land of his suffering. But Joseph interpreted the dreams of the cupbearer and the baker, before interpreting the dreams of the Pharaoh and then become fruitful to be in charge of Egypt. Joseph might not have seen his purpose at that place at that time but he hang on to his faith. He did not disbelieve God because God brought him to a land of suffering!

Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us.
-Rom 5:1-5,NIV

Whenever there is a famine, tree roots are forced to drive deeper into the soil to find water. If you are facing suffering, make it an effort to drive deeper into spiritual soil to continue finding the presence of God in your life. God has a reason to bring you to a time of suffering. He wants you to be fruitful! He wants you to accomplish the purpose he set out for you! So rejoice knowing that he does it so that you would have character!

Prayer Pointers this week:
-Pray for perserverance to hang on and that the spiritual roots would grow deeper even in times of suffering
-Pray for wisdom that God will show you his purpose for you even in times of suffering
-Pray for salvation and revival in 1D, 1L, 1P and 1Q
-Pray for a good school term with more open hearts as we bless people

Started in Febuary 2007, Prayer Pointers is about...
Prayer Pointers is about GOD
Prayer is a communication between us and God. As we pray and request for salvation and revival, we are serving God's heart! As we fast, we tell God that we are serious that we want to see his power in our lives and in our school! We tell God that we want his kingdom to come and his will to be done on earth as it is in heaven! This Prayer Pointers was created for serving God and for his approval and not Man's! It is also for rememberance and the revelation of the cross that we serve out of our gratitude.

Prayer Pointers is about US
Prayer Pointers is like a weekly devotional, as we learn about God's word and it's application in our lives. Prayer Pointers is for us to grow together, to work together as one group to bring salvation and revival and in the midst of this, we grow spiritually! We grow more in faith as we see God's strength through our weaknesses! We grow more in love having a heart of compassion! We grow more in hope as we continue praying for our classes and school!

Prayer Pointers is about THE LOST
Prayer Pointers was started with a purpose in mind - to serve the lost. We want to break salvation and revival in each and every person, for God cares for each and every single person, no matter whether they are our enemies or friends. God's heart is for those who are lost, and we also have compassion for them! That's our driving force - the heart of compassion. And that's why we are praying together all for the salvation and revival of the lost.
