40 Days With the Risen LordSample

# An Apostle Proclaims to a Gentile ## A Quote Whenever God puts you in circumstances, pray immediately; pray that his atonement may be realised in others' lives as it has been in yours. – Oswald Chambers ## Journal Exercise It was a complete surprise to Peter that an 'unclean Gentile' should be offered the gospel of Jesus Christ. Do you know anyone seeking God? Write a prayer in which you include their names, and ask God to reveal Christ to those people. Pray that God will create faithful, Christian fellowships, congregations and churches obediently living out and proclaiming God's word in all the world. ## A Prayer Blessed Lord, We praise you that your love has no limit. You want all to be saved, and every knee to bow and call you Lord. We praise you that your love includes all nations. It is for everyone; the weak, strong, rich, poor, healthy and sick. We pray that your love will permeate every aspect of today's society so that people can make an informed choice to respond to that love and be saved. We pray that your love will reach those in our legal systems, market areas and places of trade, creative arts and crafts communities, Governments, media and communication industry, education and health systems, and all areas of our society. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen.
