Ephesians 2:19-22 (NKJV): Now, therefore, you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being the chief cornerstone, in whom the whole building, being fitted together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord, in whom you also are being built together for a dwelling place of God in the Spirit.

Day 8 (Sunday 15 August) - Interdependence

by NECF Malaysia 40-Day Fast & Prayer

We need to seek God and get rid of the pride and loftiness in our hearts and mind. Like Moses, we need humility and strong team unity so that the 'giants' in our nation will be conquered. In Ex 17:8-16, we see the interdependence of all generations for the battle to be won. Moses could have held his hands up like a champion, but if Joshua and his men had not shown up, there would not have been any victory. In this critical hour, how much more do we need to work, not independently but rather interdependently, with all generations for the sake of His kingdom, changing and transforming every realm for His Glory!


Reflection: John 15:5, Exodus 17:8-16. Do you have heart issues working with others or submitting to those in authority or younger leaders at your workplace / ministry or church? Be honest and confess your pride, envy, jealousy, strife…


Prayer Points

■ On behalf of the Body of Christ, confess and renounce our pride, independent spirit and ask Him to clothe us with humility and grace to work with others. Pray for renewed minds and hearts to embrace each generation and to appreciate its strength and gifting.


■ Pastors and leaders to discern their members' strength and gifting; to encourage, affirm, equip and empower them to serve and to position them according to their gift and calling.


■ Church - unity and strong teamwork among all age groups in ministries for the expansion of His work both internally and externally, touching communities and nation.


■ Speak blessings of unity and pray that all extended church organisations, Christian NGOs, ministry networks to be connected, honouring and serving interdependently for the common good of nation building towards national transformation.
