May 20
Bible Readings:
Genesis 3:1–10; Daniel 9:1–19; Phil.4:8
Reflection Questions:
- What do you find to be pleasing to the eye and most desirable these days? Is your greatest longing: All Things Jesus?
- Does your shame cause you to hide from God or pursue him through repentance with fasting and tears?
- How does your longing for the glory of God and His reputation among the nations motivate your prayers?
Prayer Prompts:
- That ‘All Things Jesus’ would be the most desirable longing of our lives and that all other longings would pale in comparison.
- That our hearts would be quick to repent to restore intimacy with God rather than to hide in shame.
- That we would humbly plead with God for his forgiveness and that he would use us to reveal his Name to the nations.
- That the Fulani in Senegal would see Jesus in our international workers.
Listening Prayer:
- Jesus, in what ways have the eyes of my heart drifted to desire other things more than you?
Fulani in Senegal:
Fulani pride themselves on being the group that brought Islam across the Sahara to Western Africa.
They are reluctant to leave this heritage behind and renounce Islam to follow Jesus. Senegalese are hospitable, polite, and open to dialogue, and they will quickly listen to the Gospel. However, turning from their own beliefs and practices to exclusively follow Jesus is very difficult. New believers often face persecution and rejection by their families.
Only 0.2% of the 3.9 million Fulani are believers, and there are only a couple of local fellowships among them. There are around 5000 Fulani that reside in Canada.
Pray with us:
Heavenly Father, we thank you for the love you have lavished on us! Please bless the Fulani people with your banner of love.
We long for the Fulani to come into your family, and we call forth their destiny as children of God. Pour out your love on entire families. Bless Fulani marriages to be made whole.
We call forth the new things you are doing. Make a way in the wilderness and let the rivers flow in the desert. We bless Fulani believers who are being persecuted and rejected with great endurance. May they be faithful in sharing your Word despite hardships. Bless the Fulani with a new name, Lord; may they be your beloved, your children! “To the one who overcomes... I will also give him a white stone inscribed with a new name, known only to the one who receives it” (Revelation 2:17). Amen.
