CRITICAL PRAYER FOR NATION – STATE ELECTIONS

 

In July, we will focus on the State Elections.

A. We will align with the body of Christ and also become God’s watchmen (Is 62:6-7) to stand watch and pray diligently for the 6 states.

Isaiah 62: 6-7; 10-12

O Jerusalem, I have posted watchmen on your walls;

    they will pray day and night, continually.

    Take no rest, all you who pray to the LORD.

7 Give the LORD no rest until he completes his work,

until he makes Jerusalem the pride of the earth.

 

B. We will declare the following scriptures over the states.

10 Go out through the gates!

    Prepare the highway for my people to return!

Smooth out the road; pull out the boulders;

    raise a flag for all the nations to see.

11 The LORD has sent this message to every land:

    “Tell the people of Israel (Malaysia, or name the states),

‘Look, your Savior is coming.

    See, he brings his reward with him as he comes.’”

12 They will be called “The Holy People”

    and “The People Redeemed by the LORD.”

And Jerusalem (name the states) will be known as “The Desirable Place”

and “The City No Longer Forsaken.”

 

C. We will join with the call to prayer as shared by NECF.

The prayer items below are from the letter sent by NECF Secretary-General, Rev Sam Ang, to all the churches in Malaysia. We believe it flows well with all the prophetic words the watchmen on MUFW have also received. We acknowledge that this is a time of RESET for the church in Malaysia, and REVIVAL can only come with a RESET.

 

LETTER FROM NECF

Dear Pastors and Church Leaders,

At the recent NECF National Pastors and Leaders conference in May, the key word shared was “RESET” with two major themes, Reset by the Spirit and Reset your Personal Altar.

Having thus been blessed by the Lord, it is our joy now to invite you to intercede for both the Church and the Nation with the following prayer items:

 

Prayer for the Church

Personal Revival, Revival in your church, and Revival in your city

Let’s pray for a Christ awakening in our lives, families and churches, where the Spirit of God uses God’s Word to reawaken us back to Christ for all that He is and what He has done! Let’s cry out for revival to break out in our cities where many people will repent and believe in the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ!

The destiny of the Malaysian Church will align to God’s will and purpose. She will thus not be distracted, discouraged and confused. Every church has her specific calling and her greatest desire should be to ensure that she fulfils her destiny and the Great Commission (Matt. 28:19-20).

Challenging times are expected to confront the Church in the last days. Let’s pray that  the church will have boldness to preach the gospel without fear and favour as the Lord opens the floodgates to lost souls to receive salvation into the Kingdom of God.

 

Prayer for the coming State Elections

Six (6) states will be holding their respective elections sometime in August. The outcome of the elections will have great bearing on the Unity Government. We need to pray that they will be clean and fair, with the outcome accepted by all parties involved.

Pray that voters will not be complacent and adopt a careless attitude, but make every effort to go all out to vote.

Churches in these states will recognize that there is a spiritual warfare going on in the heavenlies above, and we need divine intervention for us in order to witness the move of God.

 

Prayer for the Nation

Pray that the Lord will be merciful to Malaysia, a nation that He loves and blesses as evidenced by the many good and great things that Malaysia has been commended with. The undercurrents that the Nation faces are both racial and religious issues that have been exploited by some undesirable elements. Pray for the peace of the Lord to prevail in this Nation.

Pray for the Unity Government that has been functioning for the last 6 months. It is about time that it seriously tackles the economic issues, especially inflation with wisdom, clarity and confidence. Malaysia’s external debt was recently announced to have reached RM 1.5 trillion. The government needs to create an atmosphere of confidence for foreign investments and tourism to thrive in this nation.

Pray for the Security Forces to be always alert, vigilant and ready to protect the nation from any party bent on exploiting racial and religious sentiments to create chaos. In this regard, we will witness clean and fair state elections that will affirm stability for the government of the day.

Let us all come to the Lord in a humble posture, acknowledging that His sovereign will desires the best for all who continue to remain faithful until He returns. May the Lord continue to richly bless you.

Pastor Samuel Ang

Secretary-General

 

Additional Prayers given by MUFW

  • Lord, we bless You as You now reset the body of Christ so that the church of God in Malaysia may receive a Fresh Bridal Anointing where the fire burning in the altars of our hearts are motivated by LOVE – Love for Jesus our Bridegroom, Love for God our Father, Love for one another, and Love for the people of the Land, for Love never fails.
  • Lord, we know we are entering a season of intense spiritual warfare.

 

We ask (in alignment with Ephesians 6:10-17) that You will help us to stand firm and be strong in the Lord and in His mighty power.  Teach us to put on all of God’s armour so that we will be able to stand firm against all strategies of the devil. For we are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places. Therefore, teach us to put on every piece of God’s armour so we will be able to resist the enemy in the time of evil. Then after the battle, we will still be standing firm. We will stand our ground, putting on the belt of truth and the body armour of God’s righteousness. We will put on shoes, put on the peace that comes from the Good News, so that we will be fully prepared. In addition to all of these, we will hold up the shield of faith to stop the fiery arrows of the devil. And we will put on salvation as our helmet, and take the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. Amen.

 

  • Lord, we ask for Your divine wisdom, unity and strength be given to the government that You have appointed over us. (Romans 13:1)

Like Joshua, we will pray that time will be given for Malaysia to see her destiny fulfilled and her enemies defeated.  (Joshua 10: 12-13 – So the sun stood still and the moon stayed in place until the nation of Israel had defeated its enemies.)

May the spirit of peace and unity among all races, wealth of human and natural resources never be taken away from us in Malaysia.

In Jesus’ Name, amen.
