15th to 21st November 2026 Download the prayer pointers in easy-to-print PDF format here Encouragement: The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much. [James 5: 16] Pray for: A. THE FORMATION OF THE POLITICAL COALITION in NMB: that the correct alignment of parties will take place, and that the coalition will function well together in unity, wisdom, and service to our city. [1 Timothy 2: 1-5]
B. PEACE AND RESTORATION IN OUR LAND: Peace to settle on NMB and SA in these days after the elections, and for restoration to begin in our metros, cities and little villages. Pray for our new political leaders: for wisdom, understanding, knowledge, discernment and strategy! [Proverbs 29: 2; Nehemiah 2: 17] C. THE ECONOMY OF THE NMB: Entrepreneurs to be raised up in the Bay; Big Business to move into our area; more jobs to become available; people to realise that they really need to work hard to make a difference; experts to fill the positions of directors in our municipal directorates; the city to spend their allocated money wisely. [Luke 18: 27] D. OUR NMB LEARNERS AND STUDENTS - to have a very blessed holiday; also pray for their protection: body, soul and spirit during the holidays; the new believers to fellowship with other believers and to join up with well organised youth groups and camps. [Psalm 91] E. YOUTH: The thousands of young people in NMB who have responded to the Gospel over the past couple of years to grow in their understanding of the Word, in godly character and to reach out with the Gospel to family and friends; the Lord to light the 'fire of God' in the hearts of our next generation; to give the leaders of the children's, the youth and the young adult groups great wisdom, understanding, discernment and direction - especially as they begin to prepare for the year ahead, 2027. . . [1Tim 4: 12; Ps. 145: 4] F. THE CHURCH: The upcoming Christmas events, like Carol services, Christmas services and Christmas lunches to be well planned and blessed, and so to draw in those who have not yet come to faith; the success of the many outreaches taking place in NMB. The people that have been encouraging these wonderful outreaches to not become weary in well doing, but to know that in due season they will reap if they do not lose heart; many people to come to salvation through these outreaches. These leaders to once again be filled with the fire of God in their innermost being. New believers to settle in congregations where they will be well taught; for businesspeople to catch the vision of workplace ministry. Believers to recognise the need to protect the unity in congregations and also interdenominationally - the Body of Christ in NMB. Christians to practise the presence of God and learn to 'walk with God on a daily basis' Christians to discipline themselves to read the Word and to pray every day. Christians be 'salt and light' in whatever situation they find themselves - to be known as people of character, integrity and to bear the fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5: 22-23). Continue to pray for the Revival of the Church; an ongoing Harvest of Souls in 2026/27. Ask the Father for a Great Awakening to occur in NMB. More believers and groups to reach out with the Gospel in our schools, colleges, university, clinics, hospitals and retirement villages. [Isaiah 60: 1-3] |
