WORD OF THE DAY - Thursday 11 February 2010


Therefore I urge first of all that earnest requests, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for everyone, for kings and all those in authority, that we may lead quiet and peaceful lives in all godliness and dignity. (1 Timothy 2:1-2)

Итак прежде всего прошу совершать молитвы, прошения, моления, благодарения за всех человеков, за царей и за всех начальствующих, дабы проводить нам жизнь тихую и безмятежную во всяком благочестии и чистоте. (1-е Тимофею 2:1-2 Russian)

Отже, перш над усе я благаю чинити молитви, благання, прохання, подяки за всіх людей, за царів та за всіх, хто при владі, щоб могли ми провадити тихе й мирне життя в усякій побожності та чистості. (1 Тимотей 2:1-2 Ukrainian)

Our Dear Heavenly Father ~ Thank you for the precious gift of life on this new day. Hear our ardent prayers on behalf of every person in the world - that peace and enduring freedom will come to every home along with the opportunity to hear, believe and obey your plan of salvation. Give wisdom to all world leaders so that they will first of all serve you with honor and then provide true moral direction by their own exemplary lives. Protect them and all people in positions of power as they go about their daily tasks. Give all Christians a sense of urgency to sincerely live in such a manner that other people will see Christ living in us as we interact with others in society. In Jesus name we pray, Amen.

Photo: One Sunday morning in November, new Christians gathered for worship. We heard from our dear brother Akinrinde (on the right in front) that he has finally received enough money to purchase his tickets back to Nigeria. This was a big problem for him following his graduation from the maritime university in Nikolaev, Ukraine and now he hopes to receive a job when he gets back home. Due to his strong faith, he will be an asset to a local church there in Lagos or wherever he goes in his work.
