DAY 9: Friday, October 9
TOPIC: Persecuted Christians
SCRIPTURE: 1 Peter 4:12, 14 Dear friends, do not be surprised at the fiery ordeal that has come on you to test you, as though something strange were happening to you. If you are insulted because of the name of Christ, you are blessed, for the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you.
OBSERVATION: Satan’s greatest victory is helping us become comfortable in the world and quiet about Jesus. In North Korea the slightest hint of worshipping Jesus can have devastating consequences. North Korean believers, Eun-Yeong and Cheol-Ho met Jesus on the border of North Korea and were discipled in an Open Doors safehouse there. They felt called to return, took the good news back into North Korea and despite the grave dangers, sent a simple message back across the border, Our Church Family has grown to five. The International Day of Prayer for the Persecuted Church is Sunday, November 1. Hold tight to the Word of God.
PRAYER: Dear God, we pray for the Christians of this world and especially those that are actively seeking your word. We ask that you protect us, keep us motivated and active in our daily delivery of your message.
Thank you for joining in prayer with your neighbors across El Dorado and Union County, Arkansas for the 2026 40 Days of Prayer. Please continue to pray for blessings and unity for our community.
We are so grateful for your partnership in God’s Kingdom work. May you and yours be blessed.
