Day 15 of 30
By Phil S, a member of Mahabba's Network Team
Inspired by today's entry in 30 Days of Prayer, but with a UK twist!
Daily verse
“So he replied to the messengers, “Go back and report to John what you have seen and heard: The blind receive sight, the lame walk, those who have leprosy are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the good news is proclaimed to the poor.”
Thought for the day
Secret
There are Muslim followers of Jesus around the Islamic world. I received this e-mail from somewhere in Asia:
This is the true story of our Lord Jesus, the source of peace recently discovered by Muslim people in our community.
In the last recent week, there has been a very, very intense spiritual battle in my Islamic community where I live.
A blind Muslim woman made tawassul [seeking to draw close to God] to ask Nabi Isa [the prophet Isa = Jesus Christ], son of Mary, to give her vision back.
We called the name of Jesus again and again.
To our great surprise, Jesus answered our tawassul and she was able to see again with her right eye.
She and her whole Muslim community are now very thankful to Nabi Isa, ibn Miriam [son of Mary].
They glorify Nabi Isa excessively. They attribute the healing to Isa.
My house and their house is full of people who are curious to know what happened.
We explain the power of Nabi Isa. We disciple them to be the disciple of Isa.
Physically we have been very tired in discipling people to be the disciple of Nabi Isa, son of Mary.
Prayer for the day
Pray for Muslims who have encountered Jesus, for secret believers, Messianic Muslims, Believers from a Muslim Background (BMBs), whatever they are called, and pray that this will happen more in the UK so that more and more people will ‘glorify Isa excessively’.
Daily action
Watch this video of an interview with David Garrison author of ‘Wind in the house of Islam’, or read the book - it’s worth it!
