O God, with all our hearts, we long for you. Come, transform us to be Christ-centred, Spirit-empowered, Mission-focused people, multiplying disciples everywhere.
June 3
Bible Readings:
2 Samuel 24:1–25; Psalm 51:1–6; Matthew 3:8
Reflection Questions:
- How might God want to redeem your sins to transform you more into someone after his heart?
- Does the way you deal with your sin demonstrate deep repentance? Does your repentance cost you something, or is it just words?
- What fruit do you observe of the transformation in your life in how you respond after you have sinned? Do you quickly sense the conviction of the Spirit?
Prayer Prompts:
- That our consciences would be sensitive to the conviction of the Spirit when we have sinned.
- That we would be willing to assume the consequences of our sin and not try to hide or defer blame to others.
- That our desire to be in the right relationship with God and one another would compel us to make restitution for the wrongs we have committed.
- That God would soften the hearts of the Chinese Diaspora in Mexico to make them receptive to his invitation to be forgiven.
Listening Prayer:
- Jesus, is there any hidden sin that you want to expose as part of your ongoing transformation in my heart?
Chinese Diaspora in Mexico:
The Han Chinese are the world's largest ethnic group, and although the majority live in mainland China, significant populations are reported in 62 countries worldwide. Less than 2% of the Chinese diaspora in Mexico are Christian.
Thankfully there is some receptivity to the Gospel. The Joshua Project reports that there are about 1,268,000 Chinese that call Canada home, and about 8% of them are evangelical Christians. Most Chinese are either atheist or Buddhist.
Pray with us:
Jesus, we thank you that when you were on earth, you journeyed through all the towns and villages, teaching, proclaiming the good news, and healing people. Would you send your Spirit to every village, town, and city the Chinese call home and draw them onto the narrow path towards you.
We bless the Chinese to come to know you as saviour. We pray for the blessing of surrender for those on the journey towards you. Lord, bless them by sending workers to proclaim the good news to the Chinese wherever they live. Amen.
