Ramadan Guinea Prayer

30 Ways for Muslims to Encounter Christ

The month of Ramadan is known as ‘the month of repentance,’ and so as we pray for a gospel movement to transform this nation, let us cry out for God’s Kingdom to come, for a spirit of repentance to fall on the peoples living in Guinea, whether they are Sunnis, Shiite, Sufi, or Christians from a Muslim background; rich and poor, young and old, male and female.

Our Treasure in Jesus

God, we love you! As your Church, help us do what it takes to let the people of Guinea grasp the Good News that Jesus’ message was that He wanted us to turn and follow Him, the greatest man in the history of the universe! (Matthew 9:9)

Testimonies from Guinea

“Amadou” was an imam (a leader/teacher in the mosque) in Guinea.  He was given an Arabic New Testament and began reading it.  As a result, he chose to follow the “Jesus Way” and sought out a local pastor who could teach him more.  Although both of his wives and all of his children have been taken from him and he has lost his work because of his decision, he is firm that he will follow Jesus. By God’s grace, bullets have narrowly missed him twice and this has been a testimony to those around him.

Pray for the religious leaders in Guinea, who are some of most educated. Pray that, like Nicodemus, they would choose to be “born again” and follow the way of Jesus.

Biblical Prayers

“With God we shall do valiantly; it is he who will tread down our foes.” (Psalm 108:13 ESV). 

[Nicodemus] came to Jesus at night and said, “Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher who has come from God. For no one could perform the signs you are doing if God were not with him.” Jesus replied, “Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again. John 3:2-3

Father God, as your followers in Guinea look out upon the resources of the enemy arrayed against them, may you grant them fearlessness and confidence in your matchless power. May their hearts learn to answer the attacks of the enemy, saying “with God we shall do valiantly, it is he who will tread down our foes.” (Psalm 108:13) We ask you that more religious leaders in Guinea would come to you and be born again.

Praying for the Church

“Don’t you see how wonderfully kind, tolerant, and patient God is with you? Does this mean nothing to you? Can’t you see that his kindness is intended to turn you from your sin?” (Romans 2:4).

Lord, we declare your loving kindness, that Your mercies are new every morning, that Your faithfulness to Guinea is indeed great. We declare that this year is the year of the Your favour, that this month is the month of repentance, that this month is when Your Kingdom is at hand!

Claiming Our Hope in Christ and His Heart for the Nations

Across church planting movements globally, we see God granting a kind of grace for repentance. When believers share, people respond. There is a softness of heart, an openness to the move of the Spirit. Unlike Pharaoh, who hardened his heart and stubbornly refused to submit, people are ready to respond with soft hearts. In disciple making movements, apprentices of Jesus share with friends, with family, with their natural communities, and God’s grace for repentance is present.

Lord, soften hearts. Let those with ears to hear, let them hear. Give all those whom you are wooing the courage to repent and follow you.
