DAILY PRAYER (BY SPURGEON)
Now bless the sinners. Lord convert them. O God, save men, save this great city, this wicked city, this slumbering dead city. Lord, arouse it, arouse it by any means, that it may turn unto its God. Lord save sinners all the world over, and let your precious Word be fulfilled. “Behold he comes on the clouds.” Why do you delay? Make no delay, O, our Lord. And now to the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost be glory forever and ever.
Amen.
VERSE OF THE DAY (COMMENTARY BY SPURGEON)
“God reigns over the nations; God is seated on his holy throne.” (Psalm 47:8)
Now at this moment, over the most debased idolaters, God holds a secret rule; here is work for faith. How we ought to long for the day when this truth shall be changed in its aspect, and the rule now unrecognized shall be delighted in! The great truth that God reigns in providence is the guarantee that in a gracious gospel sense his promise shall be fulfilled, and his kingdom shall come.
RECOMMENDED RESOURCE
A Guilt-Free Evangelism Class*
Today we prayed that God would save the lost people in our city. We also need to remember that we have a role in answering this prayer. Evangelism is an urgent and weighty task. We know that we need to do it (and most of us feel guilty that we don’t do it more), but we have a lot of questions about how to do it right.
I’m really thankful for the way Share the Gospel by Tony Payne (A new resource from Matthias Media) answers so many of these questions. And because this book is rooted in the truth of Scripture, it isn’t full of guilt-trips about missed opportunities — it’s about letting the wonderful grace of God propel us to announce it to everyone and anyone!
This book is one of the most practical resources on evangelism that I’ve seen — it is full of easy-to-use tools to start conversations, transition to the gospel, and share with clarity.
If you want to live faithfully as Christ’s ambassador, you will NOT regret the time you spend in this book.
