DAY #37 - MANGWANENI MBABANE CAREPOINT
The precious lives of little children are touched at this CarePoint every time the doors open. There they encounter people who love them genuinely - unlike many of the adults they have met and been abused by. They are fed, taught about Jesus, given basic education, medical care, and a place to belong. And it is all about giving them an encounter with Jesus. Pray that as they encounter Him, they find the abundant life that He gives.
Today, a long-time friend of Children's Cup and pastor of Family Tabernacle, Matt Anzivino is leading us in prayer for the Mangwaneni Mbabane CarePoint.
- Father, as we come to You...we ask that you would cleanse us from all unrighteousness. As we approach Your throne in humility...we also come boldly...thanking You for the cleansing power of Jesus’ Blood. Even though most of us have a hard time spelling...let alone pronouncing where these children live...You know each of them by name...and they are precious in Your sight...it breaks our hearts to hear how they are abused...God, to think that anyone could do something so evil is beyond our comprehension...and yet, this is exactly why Children’s Cup is there...we believe that You have set up this CarePoint right in the middle of the enemy's camp...so that these children can experience...not just life...but abundant life. Father we know that our wrestle is not against flesh and blood...but against principalities and powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the Heavenly places...so God bind the power of the enemy...and set at liberty those who are chained by the powers of darkness. As David prayed in Psalms 68; “Let God Arise...and Your enemies be scattered...as wax melts before the fire...so let the wicked perish at the presence of God.” Now Father we lift up to You each minister and faithful volunteer who work there...we pray that each one would be protected by Your angels and anointed by Your Holy Spirit. As they touch these children...touch through them...as they speak...speak through them...as they teach...teach through them...God we pray that as the children of Mangwaneni Mbabane encounter the ministers of Children’s Cup...we pray that these children would encounter You!
We pray this believing that You hear our prayers...and will answer according to Your perfect will...in Jesus Name, Amen!
