DAILY PRAYER (BY SPURGEON)

Let missionaries be helped by your Spirit and may there come a day in which the minds of men may be better prepared to receive the gospel, and may Messiah’s Kingdom come to the overthrow of her who sits on the seven hills (Revelation 17:9) and to the eternal waning of Mohammed’s moon, to the overthrow of every idol, that Christ alone may reign. Our whole heart comes out in this.

Reign, Immanuel, reign; sit on the high throne; ride on your white horse; and let the armies of heaven follow you, conquering and to conquer. Come, Lord Jesus; even so, come quickly.

Amen.

VERSE OF THE DAY (COMMENTARY BY SPURGEON)

“May God be gracious to us and bless us; may he make his face shine upon us so that your way may be known on earth, your salvation among all nations.” (Psalm 67:1–2)

All nations need God’s salvation, but many of them do not know it, desire it, or seek it; our prayer and labor should be that the knowledge of salvation may become as universal as the light of the sun. Despite the gloomy notions of some, we cling to the belief that the kingdom of Christ will embrace the whole habitable globe and that all flesh shall see the salvation of God: for this glorious consummation we agonize in prayer.

Why is Romans in the Bible?

When people think of the Book of Romans, you might think of Paul’s explanation of sin and salvation, the wonderful promises of Romans 8, or something else. But the main point of Romans is to describe Paul’s passion for global missions, “to bring about the obedience of faith for the sake of his name among all the nations” (1:5).

Two years ago, when my church in DC sent our first missionaries, I preached a sermon giving an overview of Romans, showing that this book leaves us with an important command: We must send missionaries to all nations, because Jesus is the glorious Savior-King of all nations.

I hope this sermon is encouraging and challenging for you as you consider your own life.
