Intercede with Us for the Muslim World!
13 July 2012
The fruit of the Spirit is . . . goodness . . . (Ga 5:22). Muslims believe everyone is born in a state of fitrah, a natural predisposition for good and for submission to the One God. As a child grows, he may become corrupted, as in the case of Christians, who accept the Trinity and so have turned to polytheism. Naturally Muslims assume we as believers are no longer good, but have abandoned our fitrah. But goodness toward all alike is a fruit of the Holy Spirit. Pray this week that the Lord will help us show His goodness consistently to those around us.
In the News
Sudan's President Bashir has announced that the next constitution will be 100% Islamic. In April, more than half a million non-Muslims were stripped of their citizenship. Church buildings have been destroyed, 3 Christian schools shut down, and Christian aid offices closed. Please pray that the country can avert the institution of sharia and that the Lord will strengthen believers.
