Rebuilding The Walls of Security


The world is under siege from increasing terrorism, extremism, lawlessness and violence.  Over the years we have seen the same threats encroaching our nation, and society is at a loss to find the answers to curb the rising tide of wickedness and evil that is sweeping across the nation.  The CHURCH needs to wake up to the reality that THIS WAR IS FAR FROM OVER and this wall needs to be rebuilt for the security of our generation and the generations to come.  God has given us this land as an inheritance and we, His Church, are responsible to stand guard over our nation and pray for her peace and security.

WEEK 4

Rebuilding the Walls of Social Concerns


On a daily basis, we are confronted by troubling news reports of social ills plaguing our society.  Here are some hard facts (based on available statistics).

Sexual Crimes.  In 2003, 1,479 rape cases were reported, doubling to 3,098 in 2007.   Sexual crimes are escalating against girls aged 16 and below.  As many as 80% of cases are unreported as sex offenders are family members, relatives or friends.  Pre-marital Sex, Teen Pregnancies and Baby Dumping.  In 2010 (up to April), 111 young pregnant girls sought help from the Welfare Department, compared to 131 and 107 cases in 2009 and 2008 respectively.  Pre-marital sex among the youth is on the increase.  A study by UPM revealed that more than 300 teens aged between 13-25 admitted to having sex, with 85% not regretting their actions.  There have been 517 reported cases of baby dumping since 2005, of which, 287 were found dead.  Many more are unreported.  Suicide.  The National Suicide Registry Malaysia estimated that there are as many as 60 suicides a month.  Many teenagers and young adults are taking their own lives in the face of mounting pressures in school, at work and in relationships.  Divorces.  In 2005, the rate of divorce in this nation is recorded at 13%.  This percentage has since increased.  Moral Decline.  Negative influences vide the internet and various mainstream media are enticing our youth to ungodly lifestyles.  Poverty.  As of 2007, 3.6% of the population live below the national poverty line of RM500 monthly (per household of 4), an indicator that is unrealistically low.  The plight of the marginalized and the indigenous people of this land are still not adequately addressed.

Pray for -

• The Local Church to be relevant in recognising their responsibilities in addressing national concerns concerning poverty, moral decline and socio economic justice.
• The active involvement of the Local Church in partnering with the relevant bodies to eradicate social ills.  Pray for effective networking, strategies, favour and acceptance by the various governmental agencies and ministries for the nationwide implementation of Christian-based programmes.
• Greater emphasis by the Local Church on ministries towards the youths, in ensuring that the next generation is raised up to make a stand for godly values and lifestyles.  Pray against the spirits of addiction, rebellion and despair that seek to destroy our youths.
• The authorities to be committed to the eradication of poverty and empowering the poor  regardless of ethnic/religious backgrounds.  Pray against any racial imbalance in the distribution of wealth that stirs up discontentment, anger and strife amongst the people.
• The restoration and protection of rights of the indigenous OA of this nation.  Pray that the authorities will not neglect the welfare of the OA and that there will be concerted efforts to protect their land rights.

• Pray for the raising up of godly men and women in government, politics and judiciary who will seek the common good of our nation in regards to human rights, constitutional laws and religion.

WEEK 3

Rebuilding The Walls of Strong Families


The family unit is at the centre of God's covenant purpose.  It is the first basic institution of human life.  Through families, individuals and communities are saved.  The breakdown of the family unit leads to a deterioration of community life, society and ultimately the nation.  Ephesians 5:22-6:9 exhorts all parties within the family unit to do their part and perform their respective roles - whether as husband, wife or children - for the sake of the unity of the church.  When each fulfil their roles and honour one another as unto the Lord, a spiritual transformation takes place.  Transformed families lead to transformed communities and thereafter to a transformed nation.  The family institution is under attack!  Let us look to God to rebuild, strengthen and defend our families.

Pray for -

• Healing and reconciliation in all families.  Mutual love and submission to be restored at all levels of relationship within the family unit.
• Fullness of the restoration of fathers to take their rightful role as head of household, leading by godly example, guarding and governing their homes in the fear of God.
• Establishment of strong family altars, for a future generation who will be deeply rooted in God, one who will find their identity and security in Him and fulfil His calling and destiny.  Start a family altar if you have not begun.
• Protection for our youths against all perversion and distortion of marriages such as same-sex marriages, co-habitation and fornication.
• Protection against every assignment of the enemy to destroy the institution of family, particularly in marriages.  Pray for all families in FGA especially those in ministry.
• Families who will love and honour the elderly and care for them in their golden years.  Bless the elderly and pray that God will use them mightily as agents of change to influence the younger generation in godly ways.

WEEK 2

Rebuilding The Walls of Integrity and Honour

As ambassadors for Christ and priests in His kingdom, we are called to uphold the highest standards of integrity in our public and private lives.  In 2010, the Corruption Index by Transparency International ranked Malaysia at 56 out of 178 countries, with a score of 4.4%, a decline from the previous year.  There is an urgency to ensure reforms are brought to the nation.  In these times, it is imperative that the Church shines as a beacon of light for transparency, truth and accountability.  If we desire to see revival, harmony, unity and order in our nation, we need to address the issue of honouring God and honouring one another.  We need to deal with our disobedience, negative attitudes and pride so that all generations, families, churches and nation will be healed, restoring God's order of transformation for this nation.

Pray that -

• We will be blameless and hold fast to truth and integrity in our public and private lives.
• We will repent, renounce and be free from every trace of greed and corruption; and for failing to uphold truth and righteousness.
