Psalm 34:3
“O magnify the Lord with me, and let us exalt his name together.”

In life, challenges can easily take center stage, consuming our thoughts and emotions. Yet, as believers, we have the privilege and responsibility to shift our focus from our problems to the greatness of God. To magnify God is to make Him larger in our perspective, recognizing His power and sovereignty above every situation. When we choose to magnify God, we acknowledge that He is greater than any trial we face, and this brings peace and assurance to our hearts.

Magnifying God does not mean ignoring reality; it means placing His truth above all else. When David faced overwhelming situations, he chose to praise and magnify God. In doing so, he found strength and encouragement, realizing that God’s promises were more reliable than his fears. By focusing on God’s greatness, we invite His presence to work in our lives, allowing His peace to overshadow our anxieties.

Today, make the decision to magnify God above every concern. Spend time in praise, declaring His faithfulness and power. As you lift Him up, you will find that your perspective changes, and His strength will carry you through every challenge.

PRAYER FOR A NATION
BRUNEI
In the nation of Brunei, government and religion are intermingled. A constitutional sultanate, locally known as the Malay Islamic Monarchy, rules the nation in an Islamic tradition dating back to the 15th century.  Even Brunei’s national flag displays the crescent moon, a common Islamic emblem that illustrates the nation’s religious affiliations. Though only 67% of Bruneians are Muslim, it is illegal to proselytize, and Muslims are forbidden to convert from Islam. These restrictions greatly hinder missionary attempts to establish new Christian communities.

PRAYER FOR THE NATION:

Father, we pray that the church will continue to flourish under this persecution, and your truth will continually spread throughout the land in Jesus Name.

PRAYER FOR THE LEADERS
Father, in the name of Jesus, we bind the spirit of Islam over the leadership of this nation, we declare that Brunei is for the lord in Jesus Name.

PRAYER FOR ISRAEL
Father, we thank you for Your promises to protect Israel and Jerusalem even in the midst of crisis in Jesus Name.

PRAYER FOR UNITY IN THE CHURCH
Father, in the name of Jesus, we pray that the believers would be quick to listen and slow to speak to avoid division and confusion with fellow Christians in the church (James 1:19).

PRAYER FOR SOULS / REVIVAL
Father, in the name of Jesus we pray that you open the eyes of the unsaved in this city and environs to see how much you love them and let this love draw them to you in Jesus Name
