Bible Readings:
2 Chronicles 20:1–22; 2 Kings 19:14–19, 35–37
Reflection Questions:
- Are there battles you face alone that you need to invite God to fight for you?
- Is there anything you need to spread out before the Lord for his divine intervention?
- When you feel overwhelmed by challenges—or waiting for God to answer prayer—are you quick to worship or fear?
- How might those challenges be an invitation to trust?
Prayer Prompts:
- That our first instinct when trouble strikes would be to humble ourselves and cry out for God’s intervention.
- That God would use impossible situations to grow our faith and reveal his glory to us and the world.
- That God would come and deliver us from everything that seeks to steal our joy and our effectiveness in extending the Kingdom of God.
- That God would intervene to win the great spiritual battle and bring true freedom to the Western Fulani.
Listening Prayer:
- Jesus, what divine solution do you want me to trust you for in prayer today confidently?
Western Fulani:
Most of Niger’s Western Fulani are poor, illiterate, rural animal herders marginalized by neighbouring people groups. While most Fulani are no longer nomadic, they still take pride in their cultural history. In some villages, the young men travel hundreds of kilometres on foot every year, leading their cattle to pasture and water.
Fulani values include hospitality, patience, reserve (stoicism), and respect. They practice folk Islam, and their life is guided by an unwritten but extensive system of rules that dictate family, social, and religious interactions.
Of a population of 1.2 million Fulani in Western Niger and 2.5 million globally, the percentage of evangelical believers is only 0.01%. Some Western Fulani live in the city attend church. There are a few small fellowships that a national believer is leading. About 5,000 Fulani live in Canada, but they are primarily from other countries, not Niger.
Pray with us:
Father, we bless the nomadic Fulani, those wandering in desert wastelands to be led by a straight way and be gathered in. We bless those living in bondage to fear and religion brought forth from darkness and the shadow of death.
Deliver them from the distress of their sinful ways and heal their afflictions. May they cry out to the Lord so that the thirsty ground of their hearts would be turned into pools of water. Bless them that they would be wise and attend to the Word of the Lord. Bless the Fulani to sing praises of your steadfast love forever! Amen.
