INTRODUCING 40 DAYS OF WORSHIP FOR SOUTH AFRICA

CALLING ALL CHILDREN OF GOD

From 24 September to 3 November 2017 a 40 day of worship for South Africa will be held in Cape Town.  All South Africans are called upon to unite under this 40 days of worship for South Africa right there where you are!!!

Francis Lira, a missionary from Brazil, initiated the call to worship in response to prophetic visions he had in 2012 and 2015. He believe that the fire of God’s glory will ignite in Cape Town and spread throughout South Africa, through Africa and on to all nations.  Please watch the video at: https://www.facebook.com/40daysofworship/videos/1954464428125251/

Also go to their Facebook page:  40 days of worship.

WHAT IS WORSHIP?
Worship is to honour with extravagant love and extreme submission (Webster's Dictionary, 1828).
Yes, worship is songs and praising God, but it is far more than that. Most of the worship in Bible times was done away from the temple.  Worship is also sharing with one another, helping each other and even just listening to God’s voice.

HOW CAN WE PARTICIPATE IN THE 40 DAYS OF WORSHIP?
Part of the 40 days of worship for South Africa is to get out of our comfort zones.  It is time that we, as the body of Christ, show God that we are not ashamed of Him and that we will, publicly, proclaim His Name.  No, we are not Pharisees! We just want to openly declare and honour God with extravagant love and extreme submission!!! 

SO… HOW CAN WE DO THIS?
·         PERSONAL
o   Confess your sins.  Become very quiet before the Lord and listen to His prompting.  Then ask Him to fill you with the fruit of the Spirit!
o   Confess things that you have done wrong against others and they have done wrong against you and forgive them in the Name of Jesus.
o   Forgive yourself for things you have done wrong in the Name of Jesus.
o   Ask God to wash you with His blood and to cleanse and purify you.

·         PRAYER, ETC.
o   Open and close with a prayer at your business or work
o   Talk too and pray for people in a shopping mall, at your local butchery, the beach, on a mountain, just where you are. 
o   If someone is tired and weary, stop everything, talk to the person and pray for them – right there in public!!
o   Become still before God and LISTEN to what He is saying! 
o   Read from the Bible for your family in the evening, after you have eaten, and pray together.  Remember:  The family that prays together, stays together!
o   Go over to your neighbour’s house if they are going through a tough time and pray for them!
o   Pray with your family in the morning before you all leave for school and work
o   Spend more time in prayer and Bible study
o   Listen to and sing spiritual songs!

·         HELP PEOPLE!
o   Carry a plastic bag for an older lady to her car.
o   Help someone that does not have food!
o   Do you have a skill that someone need for free?  Example:  you are a mechanic and there is a family of five whose car has broken down and they do not have money to pay.  Fix the car for free!!!!
o   You can just make a cup of coffee for someone who has been in an accident right in front of your offices.
o   There is so many opportunities if you just start to look around you!!!!
(This is my adaptation as to what I think people can do – just a few suggestions.)

It is time that we, as the body of Christ, stand up and show people that God is the answer!!  Please join in this wonderful event, do your part for people around you and be the hands and the feet of Jesus right where you are!!!!

Be blessed in the Name of Jesus!
