DAILY PRAYER (BY SPURGEON)

May there be none in our church this weekend who shall fancifully seek after a pretended salvation which will leave them as they are; but may they know that Jesus saves his people from their sins; and, oh, that with self-loathing, and deep contrition, and earnest heart-searching, souls may come to you again and cast themselves before your face, trusting in Jesus, and crying out to be delivered from sin; and may this be the day of deliverance.

Oh, that this Sunday as our church gathers, while we are trying to preach, you might raise up children of Abraham from these stones. Men that seem naked and cold as stones, quicken by the mighty Spirit this very day; and may they be led to yield themselves unto God, and their members instruments of righteousness. May the Lord grant it and we will bless his name.

Amen.

VERSE OF THE DAY (COMMENTARY BY SPURGEON)

“How, then, can they call on him they have not believed in? And how can they believe without hearing about him? And how can they hear without a preacher?” (Romans 10:14)

Here you have the whole plan of salvation. Christ is preached, sinners hear the message of the gospel, they believe it, and so they are saved. What a mass of rubbish people have interjected into this blessed simple plan! How different this is from the cumbersome, complicated plan by which men would destroy our souls. Cling to the old-fashioned gospel and never turn away from it! Nothing can take the place of the simplicity of divine truth.

PRAY FOR THE NATIONS

This week, we’re praying for the Bafinda of Pakistan.

When Paul wrote Romans 10, he was writing about people in Spain who had never heard of Jesus (Romans 15:20, 24). The Bafinda of Pakistan have still never heard of Christ. How can they be call on him without a preacher?

Pray that missionaries would go to the Bafinda of Pakistan.
