Weekly Prayer (Oct 4th, 2021): Pray for the gospel, which is“the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes,” to be made known more and more among the Japanese people, and that they will believe on the Lord Jesus and be saved (Romans 1:16-17; Acts 20:24).
In the thesis statement of Romans, Paul says, “For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith for faith, as it is written, 'The righteous shall live by faith'” (Rom. 1:16-17).
Let us pray for the Holy’s Spirit’s enlightening work in the eyes of the hearts of Japanese men, women, and children, that they may be brought from death to life by the mercy of God. Pray that they will see they are in desperate need of salvation from their sins and that the only way to God is through Christ Jesus.
Pray that they will understand the gospel saves people from every people group around the globe, including them. Pray that they will not see the gospel as something foreign or “American” but as the grace of God poured out for the nations, including Japan.
Let us pray for the gospel, the power of God for salvation, to become the hope of millions and millions Japanese to the praise of God’s glory.
