DAILY PRAYER (BY SPURGEON)

Oh blessed king, we long to set the crown on your head even if the sword should smite our arm off at the shoulder. You must be king whatever becomes of us; you must be glorified whatever becomes of us.

Our hearts are weary for you, our king. The king forgotten in your own land, the king despised among your own people, when will you be glorious before the eyes of all mankind? Come, we beg you, come quickly, or if you do not come personally yet, send forth the Holy Spirit with a greater power than ever that our hearts may leap within us as they see miracles of mercy repeated in our midst.

Amen.

VERSE OF THE DAY (COMMENTARY BY SPURGEON)

“Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen.” (1 Timothy 1:17)

Not a king who will lose his kingdom; not a king who will cease to reign, or abdicate, or die. Oh, dear friends, the King who pardoned Paul is a King today, equally mighty to save. He sits upon the throne of mercy in the sovereignty of his grace, in the splendor of his love, in the majesty of his power, passing by iniquity, transgression, and sin. Will you not bow before him? Glory be to the Lord Jesus, for he is the King eternal!

PRAY FOR THE NATIONS

This week, we’re praying for the Lisi of Chad.

The Lisi are made up of three people groups in central Chad who speak the same language. Of the 477,000 people in these groups, there are zero Christians. They will never hear the message of Jesus unless someone brings it from the outside.

Pray that God would send missionaries to the Lisi of Chad.

RECOMMENDED RESOURCE

Christ is the King of the Kingdom

This week, as we focus our prayers on Christ’s reign as king, we need to think about what he reigns as the king of.

The Kingdom of God isn’t just one theme in Scripture, it’s the story of all the Bible. From Genesis to Revelation, we read about God establishing his saving reign among his people from every tribe, tongue, and nation.

A fantastic and easy-to-read book on this topic is The Kingdom of God and the Glory of the Cross by Patrick Schreiner. Schreiner shows how this theme — the Kingdom of God â€” is unfolded throughout all the major sections of Scripture.

You’ll walk away from this book AMAZED by the greatness of Jesus, the glories of the cross, and the wonders of God’s grace to include us in his unshakeable kingdom. I hope you’ll grab a copy today.
