30 Ways for Muslims to encounter Christ

The primary way Islam is growing globally is through birth rate. The primary way Christianity is growing globally is through movements of the Gospel. Pray for these movements to flow through Nashville and all Muslim lands.

Liberty to the Captives

Each of us who comes to Christ must repent of and renounce every pact, promise, or identity we held before faith in Christ. Join us in praying for our brothers and sisters in Christ from a Muslim background as they repent of their former identity as Muslims. This prayer is inspired by chapter 7 and 8 of Liberty to the Captives by Mark Durie

We have authority in Christ to overcome shame. “Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God” (Hebrews 12:2).

Pray for Christians from a Muslim background in Nashville to overcome shame from their past, family, or society by looking to Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith.

Praying Scripture

“Nevertheless, the time will come when I will heal the wounds [of Nashville] and give it prosperity and true peace“ (Jeremiah 33:6).

Today, we claim this promise originally spoken over Jerusalem. Lord, we declare: the time will come when You will heal the wounds of Nashville, You alone can heal them. And we speak in faith over Nashville: Lord, You and You alone will bring true peace and prosperity.

Praying for the Church

Pray that life’s difficulties will not distract believers in Nashville from God’s purpose for their lives.

Claiming Our Hope in Christ and His Heart for the Nations

Ask that God’s word would spread rapidly throughout Nashville, being honored wherever the word of God is shared. Pray that a sense of urgency would come upon believers, old and new alike, to share this gospel of the Kingdom with all. As the Samaritan woman in John 4 quickly shared with her village and introduced them to Jesus; Lord, may new people of peace spread your gospel message to new communities now, during this month, during Ramadan.

PRAISE

“May God be gracious to us and bless us and make his face to shine upon us, that your way may be known on earth, your saving power among all [the Nashville] nations.” (Psalm 67:2)

KINGDOM COME

“But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.” (Matthew 6:33) 

We pray that your Kingdom would be our first priority. May your Kingdom values and purposes be the primary focus of every Christian in Nashville.

PRAY THE BOOK OF ACTS

“But when they believed Philip as he preached good news about the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women.” (Acts 8:12) Lord, empower believers in Nashville to preach the good news of your Kingdom and prepare multitudes of men and women to respond and be baptized. 

PRAY THE HALL OF FAITH

“By faith he went to live in the land of promise as in a foreign land, living in tents with Isaac and Jacob, heirs with him of the same promise. For he was looking forward to the city that has foundations, whose designer and builder is God.” (Hebrews 11:9-10) May Nashville believers embrace their heavenly citizenship and being confirmed into heaven’s customs, language, priorities, and values in ever-increasing measures.

PRAYER

God, we pray for believers in Nashville to be generous that you would desire to invest more into them. https://zume.training/the-kingdom-economy/
