*CALLED TO PRAY FOR THE NATIONS-- SUDAN* (II)
_Key Bible Text:_
*"I want you to know how glad I am that it's me sitting here in this jail and not you. There's a lot of suffering to be entered into in this world--the kind of suffering Christ takes on. I welcome the chance to take my share in the church's part of that suffering."* (Colossians 1:24 (The Message))
_Bible Insight:_
“Christians in Sudan are always vulnerable,†notes Fikiru Mehari, a field researcher with the Christian charity Open Doors in East Africa, “and now, they are even more vulnerable.â€
Open Doors ranks Sudan at number ten on it’s World Watch List - making Sudan the 10th most dangerous country in the world to be a Christian.
Conversion from Islam to Christianity no longer means the death penalty – but it does means shame and hostility. Christian converts are often thrown out of their own homes and communities, or disinherited by parents.
“Now we have a situation, in this violence, where Christian converts may be trapped, or locked up, with family members who may be deeply abusive to them,†Mehari points out. â€It is a situation of huge concern, particularly for women.â€
Financial vulnerability is a further issue. Employment discrimination against Christians is a fact of life in Sudan. “When you apply for a job, they will openly ask you at interview, what is your religion?†says Mehari. “Many times that translates into only precarious employment, and no permanent means of income. It is likely that the majority of Christians will not have that cushion of savings to fall back on.â€
When life becomes a desperate hunt for food, medicine or fuel, those without savings will face harrowing choices.

*CALLED TO PRAY FOR THE NATIONS-- SUDAN*
_Key Bible Text:_
*"And he taught, saying unto them, Is it not written, My house shall be called of all nations the house of prayer? but ye have made it a den of thieves."* (Mark 11:17 (KJV))
_Bible Insight:_
When the sounds of shelling erupted in Khartoum in April, 2023, Most Rev Ezekiel Kondo, Archbishop of Sudan, found himself protecting 42 families - including young children - inside All Saints Cathedral, in Khartoum.
As mortars and artillery shells rained down, they sheltered inside, listening to gunfire all around them. But within hours, the Cathedral precincts were breached. Families hid in silence as armed men ransacked the outer compound, firing weapons into church vehicles, looting and wrecking offices. Only once they had left could children and parents pick their way through destroyed streets to try to escape the city.
Communications with the Sudanese church leaders are now very difficult. "There is a lot of fearâ€, Archbishop Kondo told him by email, describing a desperate struggle to keep mobile phones charged and to search out food and water. “The Sudanese community here is fearful. At the moment, we pray hard, and keep in touch.â€
There is no doubt that Christians in Sudan face extreme threat, both in public and private.

*TOOLS FOR VICTORIOUS CHRISTIAN LIVING* (III)
_Key Bible Text:_
*"So Joshua did as Moses had said to him, and fought with Amalek: and Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to the top of the hill. And it came to pass, when Moses held up his hand, that Israel prevailed; and when he let down his hand, Amalek prevailed."* (Exodus 17:10â€-‬11 ASV))
_Bible Insight:_
4. Having the right support systems
There are relationships you'll need to guard with your life. Just as Hur and Joshua held up Moses hand, your sustained excelling is tied to the presence of certain destiny men and women in your life.
Don't toy with them. Respect the grace they add to your life, and downplay their weaknesses if any.
5. And Moses built an altar, and called the name of it Jehovah-nissi;
(Exodus 17:15 ASV)
Hebrews 11 tells us that the things which are seen were made from the things which are not seen.
The strength of your rising in the kingdom is dependent on the strength of your altar. Don't let any level of result distract you from the Most High.
Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
(Romans 8:37â€-‬39 ASV)
In conclusion, live in the consciousness that you are more than a conqueror through Christ. For nothing can separate you from God's love.
_MEDITATION:_
*“With all these tools clearly spelt out, God has played his part in making sure you excel. Please don't let God down, leverage these tools to excel and let your light shine to the nations."*

*TOOLS FOR VICTORIOUS CHRISTIAN LIVING* (II)
_Key Bible Text:_
*"So Joshua did as Moses had said to him, and fought with Amalek: and Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to the top of the hill."* (Exodus 17:10 (ASV))
_Bible Insight:_
2. Carrying out the Divine instruction
It's one thing to receive the will of God, it's another thing to carry it out
The extent to which you submit to God indicates your level of Spiritual maturity.
It will also determine how far you can go. If you want to go far, and go well, follow divine instructions.
3. Keeping your hands up (symbolic for keepong your efforts up)
*"So Joshua did as Moses had said to him, and fought with Amalek: and Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to the top of the hill."* (Exodus 17:10 ASV)
Winners are not people who quit. A winner is a loser who tried one more time. The bigger the desired result, the more effort you need to put in.
_MEDITATION:_
*“Success is going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm.â€*
