十月份祈禱的要點

October prayer points




October Focus: Musandam Region

Top of the Mountains

Musandam (مُـسَـنْـدَم) is the northernmost governorate in Oman, an enclave (2, actually) separated from the rest of the country by the United Arab Emirates. It is a peninsula which sits strategically at the Strait of Hormuz, a mere 21 miles from Iran. Called the 'Norway of Arabia' because of its dramatic fjords, the region is geographically isolated by rugged mountains, and its inhabitants have traditionally been hostile to outsiders. Although growing in tourism, it is still one of the most remote and isolated places in the country. This region is also home to two unique ethnic groups, the Kumzari and the Shehi.

In Arabic ‘Musandam’ means ‘anvil’, perhaps referring to its shape. This area is known locally as ‘Ru’us Al Jibal’ (Arabic: رُؤُوْس ٱلْجِبَال), meaning head or top of the mountains, indicating its position at the top of the Hijar Mountains that stretch across northern Oman.

“For the Eternal is a great God, and a great King, supreme over all gods. Within His control are the very depths of the earth; the mountaintops too—they all belong to Him. The sea belongs to Him, for He created it—scooped and filled it—with His hands He made the dry land—every valley and mountain.” (Psalm 95:3-5, The Voice) We bless the people of Musandam to know and follow the God who created their unique land!

  • There has been little to none on-the-ground Gospel witness in this area. Pray for job opportunities for believers to relocate here and become established, and be bold witnesses.

  • Pray for online media outreach to penetrate the remote mountain and sea villages of this region. Pray specifically for outreach to the Shehi and Kumzari peoples, in ways they can best understand.

Worship with us!All the Poor and Powerless by All Sons & Daughters. Jesus, may Your salvation be shouted from the mountains of Oman!

Matthew 18:14 Focus—‘Your Father in heaven does not want one of these little ones to be lost.’

十月聚焦:穆桑代姆行政區

 

眾山之巔

 

穆桑代姆https://www.google.com/maps/place/%E9%98%BF%E6%9B%BC%E7%A9%86%E6%A1%91%E4%BB%A3%E5%A7%86%E7%9C%81)(مُـسَـنْـدَم)是阿曼最北的省份,是一塊飛地(實際上是兩塊),阿聯酋將此地與該國其他地區隔開。它是一個半島,位於霍爾木茲海峽的戰略要地,距離伊朗僅21英里(34公里)。該行政區因其壯觀的峽灣而被稱為「阿拉伯的挪威」,地理上被崎嶇的山脈所隔絕,這裡的居民一直以來對外來者充滿敵意。盡管旅遊業正在發展,但它仍然是該國最偏遠和最孤立的地方之一。該行政區也是兩個獨特民族的家園,即庫姆扎里人和謝希人。

 

在阿拉伯語中,「穆桑代姆」意為「鐵砧」,也許是指其形狀。該地區在當地被稱為「Ru'us Al Jibal」(阿拉伯語:رُؤُوْس ٱلْجِبَال),意為眾山之頂或眾山之巔,表明其位於橫跨阿曼北部的希賈爾山脈的頂部。

 

「因耶和華為大神,為大王,超乎萬神之上。地的深處在他手中,山的高峰也屬他。海洋屬他,是他造的;旱地也是他手造成的。」(詩篇95:3-5)我們祝福穆桑代姆人民認識並跟隨創造他們獨特地形的神!

 

l   該地區幾乎沒有實地的福音見證。禱告信徒得到就業機會,讓他們搬遷到這裡並定居下來,並大膽地作見證。

l   禱告網路媒體能夠深入該行政區偏遠的山區和臨海村莊。特別為針對謝希人和庫姆扎里人的福音活動禱告,以最能讓他們理解的方式向他們傳播資訊。

與我們一同敬拜吧!《凡貧乏無力的人》(https://youtu.be/D_vRBPRFuUU),All Sons & Daughters。耶穌,願你的救恩信息在阿曼的群山中傳揚!

Blessing Musandam Region

Seen and Known

Although this land is literally cut off and geographically isolated from the rest of Oman by borders and mountains, it is not unknown to God. May these children of Ishmael say like Hagar:

She answered God by name, praying to the God who spoke to her, “You’re the God who sees me!" “Yes! He saw me; and then I saw Him!” (Genesis 16:13, The Message)

  • We bless the region and the people of Musandam to see the God who sees them!

  • We declare that the people of Musandam are seen and known, and He is actively seeking and finding them!

祝福穆桑代姆行政區

 

看見並且認識

 

盡管這片土地客觀上的確被邊界和山脈切斷,在地理上與阿曼其他地區隔絕,但神並非不知道它的存在。願這些以實瑪利的後裔像夏甲那樣說話:

 

夏甲就稱那對她說話的耶和華為「看顧人的神」。因而說:「在這裡我也看見那看顧我的嗎?」(創世記16:13)

 

l   我們祝福穆桑代姆行政區和人民能夠看見看顧他們的神!

l   我們宣告,穆桑代姆人民被神看見和認識,並且他正在積極地搜尋和找回他們!

與我們一同敬拜吧!《你認識我》(https://youtu.be/N0C950WA49k),Steffany Gretzinger。耶穌,你看見並且認識阿曼人民!

Strait of Hormuz

A Strategic Location

Musandam sits at the mouth of the Persian (Arabian) Gulf in one of the most volatile spots in the world—the Strait of Hormuz (Arabic: مَضيق هُرمُز). This narrow shipping passage is the gateway to enter the Persian Gulf, and gives maritime access to Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, the UAE, Bahrain, Qatar, and eastern Saudi Arabia. Approximately 17 million barrels of oil pass through this strait daily, 40% of the world’s oil, as well as ⅓ of the world’s liquid natural gas. At its narrowest, it is 33 km/21 miles across, forming a strategic ‘chokepoint’ with the capacity to cripple world energy markets if blockaded.

The strait is also known locally as Baab As-salaam (Arabic: مَضيق باب السلام), meaning "the door of peace." With increased tensions in the region between Iran and other Gulf nations, it is vital to be praying for the peace of these waters and lands. God has sovereignly given this strategic territory to Oman; let us ask for His purposes to be accomplished in this region, and for His Kingdom to come and His will to be done here!

"He created all the people of the world from one man, Adam, and scattered the nations across the face of the earth. He decided beforehand which should rise and fall, and when. He determined their boundaries." (Acts 17:26)

霍爾木茲海峽

 

戰略要地

 

穆桑代姆位於波斯灣(阿拉伯灣)入口處,這裡是世界上最動蕩的地區之一-霍爾木茲海峽https://maps.app.goo.gl/yjQTaqqc4Bw6Ni7X9)(阿拉伯語:مَضيق هُرمُز)。這條狹窄的航道是進入波斯灣的門戶,也是通往伊朗、伊拉克、科威特、阿聯酋、巴林、卡塔爾和沙特阿拉伯東部的海上通道。每天約有1700萬桶石油經過該海峽,占世界石油總產量的40%,以及世界液化天然氣總產量的三分之一。霍爾木茲海峽最窄處只有33公里/21英里寬,形成一個具有戰略意義的「咽喉要道」,一旦被封鎖,世界能源市場將陷入癱瘓。

 

當地也稱該海峽為Baab As-salaam(阿拉伯語:مَضيق باب السلام),意為「和平之門」。隨著伊朗與其他海灣國家之間緊張局勢加劇,需要時刻為這些水域和領土的和平禱告,這是極為重要的。神已將這片戰略要地主權給了阿曼;讓我們禱告願他的計畫在這一行政區實現,禱告祂的國度降臨,禱告祂的旨意在這裡成就!

 

「他從一本造出萬族的人,住在全地上,並且預先定準他們的年限和所住的疆界。」(使徒行傳17:26)

Khasab

Fertile Ground

Khasab (Arabic: خصب, pop. 21,651) is the capital and largest town of Musandam Region, and seat of Khasab district (pop. 29,688). It was built by the Portuguese in the 1600s as a supply point for their ships sailing through the Strait of Hormuz. There is a natural harbor here, and the Khasab fort was built as a supply point for dates and water for Portuguese ships sailing through the strait. Today, there is a lot of smuggling in these waters, as speedboats from Iran bring over sheep and goats, and return with electronics and cigarettes, all the while avoiding coast guard boats and oil tankers.

With a new coastal road connecting it to the UAE, Khasab’s tourism is growing. It may also be reached by ferry from Oman. Day-trips in dhows (traditional wooden boats), dolphin-watching and scuba diving are popular activities. The fort has been well-restored with a museum and is also a tourist attraction.

Khasab means 'fertile' in Arabic, probably referring to the fruitful mountain terraces that have been farmed for generations. May this land and the people's hearts be fertile ground for the sowing of the Gospel!

“But the seed falling on good soil refers to someone who hears the word and understands it. This is the one who produces a crop, yielding a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown.” (Matthew 13:23)

Pray for the Town and District of Khasab:

  • Glory of God. That God would be glorified and exalted and worshiped in Khasab. (Habakkuk 2:14, Psalm 138:4-5)

  • Expansion of the Kingdom. That many people in Khasab will come to know Jesus, and that communities of believers will be planted, that movements will be ignited. (Luke 1:32-33, 2 Cor 10:15-16)

  • Hearts and Minds. That spiritual blindness and bondages will be lifted from the minds of the people in Khasab, and that hearts will be stirred with hunger for Jesus and truth. (2 Cor 4:4, Luke 24:45)

  • Authority. Pray with the authority that Jesus gives you over principalities, powers and spiritual strongholds in Khasab. Pray that God would release prophetic words over the land, releasing visions, dreams, signs and wonders in Jesus’ name. (Matthew 18:18, 2 Cor 10:4)

  • Revival. That any believers living in Khasab would be awakened by the Holy Spirit, have love and passion stirred in them for the lost, and rise to meet the need in their neighborhood. (Luke 10:2, Ezekiel 37:10)

  • Provision. That God would bring His provision and blessing to all those in need in Khasab. That He would show His eternal kindness, demonstrate the blessing of His Kingdom, and cause His people to prosper. (Philippians 4:19, Jeremiah 29:7)

卡薩布

 

沃土

 

卡薩布https://goo.gl/maps/UMaKJ56isQbVcojE6)(阿拉伯語:خصب,人口21,651)是穆桑代姆行政區的中心地帶和最大城鎮,也是卡薩布區(人口29,688)的中心地帶。它由葡萄牙人在17世紀建造,作為穿越霍爾木茲海峽的船隻的補給站。這裡有一個天然港口,卡薩布堡壘是為穿越海峽的葡萄牙船隻而建造的提供椰棗和水源的補給站。如今,這片水域走私活動猖獗,來自伊朗的快艇運來綿羊和山羊,然後帶著電子產品和香煙回去,沿途避開海岸警衛隊船隻和油輪。

 

隨著一條新的沿海公路將卡薩布與阿聯酋相連,這裡的旅遊業正在蓬勃發展。從阿曼乘渡輪也可到達此地。乘坐單桅三角帆船(傳統木船)一日遊、觀賞海豚和潛水都是很受歡迎的活動。這座堡壘經過精心修復,設有博物館,也是一個旅遊景點。

 

Khasab在阿拉伯語中意為「肥沃」,可能指的是世代耕種的富饒多產的山地梯田。願這片土地和人民的心靈成為傳播福音的沃土!

 

「撒在好地上的,就是人聽道明白了,後來結實,有一百倍的,有六十倍的,有三十倍的。」(馬太福音13:23)

 

為卡薩布的城鎮和轄區禱告:

 

l   神的榮耀。神將在卡薩布得榮耀,尊崇和敬拜。(哈巴谷書2:14;詩篇138:4-5)

l   神國的擴展。卡薩布的許多人將會認識耶穌,信徒群體將會扎根,激起植堂運動。(路加福音1:32-33;哥林多後書10:15-16)

l   心靈與頭腦。在卡薩布人民的頭腦中,屬靈的盲目和束縛將被破除,他們的心靈將萌發對耶穌和真理的渴慕。(哥林多後書4:4,路加福音24:45)

l   權柄。用耶穌給你的權柄禱告,這權柄勝過卡薩布的公國統治權、權勢和屬靈的營壘。求神奉耶穌的名在地上賜下先知的話語,賜下異象、異夢、神蹟和奇事。(馬太福音18:18,哥林多後書10:4)

l   復興。願任何生活在卡薩布的信徒都能被聖靈喚醒,對失喪之人的愛和熱心在他們裡面被激發,並起來滿足他們鄰舍的需要。(路加福音10:2,以西結書37:10)

l   供應。願神將祂的供應和福氣帶給卡薩布所有有需要的人。祂要顯示祂永遠的慈愛,顯明祂國度的賜福,使祂的百姓興旺。(腓立比書4:19,耶利米書29:7)

與我們一同敬拜吧!《撒種者之歌》https://youtu.be/lIiKIR6mQOE),安德魯·彼得森。耶穌,願阿曼的土地為你結出豐碩的果實!

Musandam People Groups, Part 1

The Shehi People

Musandam is home to two distinct ethno-linguistic groups.

The Shehi/Shihuh people are believed by some to be the original inhabitants of Oman, who were driven north to their current area by Arab Bedouin tribes coming from the south. They speak a dialect of Arabic that by some accounts is "unintelligible" to outsiders. They are also known for their unique architectural structures, such as houses built into mountain caves, and 'bait al qifl' (lock house), bunker-like storage rooms used for securing their valuables during seasonal migrations to the coast. The Shehi people also use an axe called a ‘jerz’ in Arabic, rather than the traditional ‘khanjar’ dagger.

God, we pray for the Shehi people in Musandam, that they would:

  • Come and Worship You. Psalm 86:9 – “All the nations (ethne) You have made will come and worship before You, O Lord; they will bring glory to Your name.”

  • See Your Glory. Isaiah 66:18 – “And I, because of their actions and their imaginations, am about to come and gather all nations (ethne) and tongues, and they will come and see My glory.”

  • Hear the Gospel clearly in their Heart Language. Matthew 24:14 – “And this gospel of the Kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.”

  • Become Disciples and Obedient Followers. Matthew 28:19 – “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations (ethne), baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.”

  • Be Marked by Worship and Intercession. Mark 11:17 – “And as He taught them, He said, ‘Is it not written: “My house will be called a house of prayer for all nations (ethne)"? …'” (Isaiah 56:7)

  • Repent and Be Forgiven. Luke 24:47 – “..and repentance and forgiveness of sins will be preached in His name to all nations (ethne), beginning at Jerusalem.” 

  • Be Filled with the Holy Spirit. Acts 2:17a – “‘In the last days,’ God says, ‘I will pour out My Spirit on all people.'”

穆桑代姆族群,第1部分

 

謝希人

 

穆桑代姆是兩個截然不同民族語言群體的家園。

 

一些人認為,謝希/希胡人是阿曼的原住民https://www.ancient-origins.net/history-ancient-traditions/are-reclusive-shihuh-people-musandam-original-arabians-004399),他們被來自南方的阿拉伯貝都因部落向北驅趕到他們現在的地區。他們說一種阿拉伯語方言,根據一些記載這是一種讓外人「不知所云」的語言。他們還以獨特的建築結構而聞名,比如建在山洞裡的房屋,以及「鎖屋」(bait al qifl),這是一種類似地堡的儲藏室,用於在季節性遷徙到海岸期間確保他們的貴重物品安全。謝希人還使用一種斧頭,阿拉伯語叫「傑茲」,而不是傳統的汗扎爾匕首。

 

神啊,我們為穆桑代姆的謝希人禱告,願他們:

 

l   前來敬拜你詩篇86:9-「主啊,你所造的萬民(族)都要來敬拜你,他們也要榮耀你的名。」

l   看見你的榮耀以賽亞書66:18-「我知道他們的行為和他們的意念。時候將到,我必將萬民萬族聚來,看見我的榮耀。」

l   用他們的心語清晰地聽到福音馬太福音24:14-「這天國的福音要傳遍天下,對萬民作見證,然後末期才來到。」

l   成為門徒和順服的跟隨者馬太福音28:19–「所以,你們要去,使萬民(族)作我的門徒,奉父、子、聖靈的名給他們施洗。」

l   以敬拜和代求為標誌馬可福音11:17–便教訓他們說:「經上不是記著說『我的殿必稱為萬國禱告的殿』嗎?」(以賽亞書56:7)

l   悔改並得到饒恕。路加福音24:47–「並且人要奉他的名傳悔改、赦罪的道,從耶路撒冷起直傳到萬邦(族)。」

l   被聖靈充滿。使徒行傳2:17–「神說,在末後的日子,我要將我的靈澆灌凡有血氣的。」

Musandam People Groups, Part 2

The Kumzari

The Kumzari people are at the tip of the Musandam peninsula, and accessible only by boat. Their origins are unclear; they may be of Iranian and/or Arab descent. They speak a hybrid of more than 45 languages, including Arabic, Farsi, Urdu, English, and Portuguese. It is thought that shipwrecked sailors over the centuries contributed to the linguistic melting pot, but now the language is on the verge of extinction. There are approximately 4500 speakers of Kumzari today.

The Kumzari are traditionally fishermen, and known for their bravery in combat. The men also perform traditional dances like the Dandana, performed especially during Kumzari weddings.

God, we pray for the Kumzari people in Musandam, that they would:

  • Come and Worship You. Psalm 86:9 – “All the nations (ethne) You have made will come and worship before You, O Lord; they will bring glory to Your name.”

  • See Your Glory. Isaiah 66:18 – “And I, because of their actions and their imaginations, am about to come and gather all nations (ethne) and tongues, and they will come and see My glory.”

  • Hear the Gospel clearly in their Heart Language. Matthew 24:14 – “And this gospel of the Kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.”

  • Become Disciples and Obedient Followers. Matthew 28:19 – “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations (ethne), baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.”

  • Be Marked by Worship and Intercession. Mark 11:17 – “And as He taught them, He said, ‘Is it not written: “My house will be called a house of prayer for all nations (ethne)"? …'” (Isaiah 56:7)

  • Repent and Be Forgiven. Luke 24:47 – “..and repentance and forgiveness of sins will be preached in His name to all nations (ethne), beginning at Jerusalem.”

  • Be Filled with the Holy Spirit. Acts 2:17a – “‘In the last days,’ God says, ‘I will pour out My Spirit on all people.'”

庫姆扎里人位於穆桑代姆半島的頂端,只能乘船抵達。他們的起源尚不清楚;他們可能是伊朗人和/或阿拉伯人的後裔。他們講45多種語言的混合語言,包括阿拉伯語、波斯語、烏爾都語、英語和葡萄牙語。據說,多個世紀以來遭遇海難失事船上的水手促成了語言的大熔爐,但現在這種語言瀕臨滅絕(https://www.middleeasteye.net/features/last-stand-hybrid-language-omans-seafaring-past)。今天大約有4500人講庫姆扎里語。

 

庫姆扎里人傳統上是漁民,以戰鬥勇敢而聞名。庫姆扎里人還會表演傳統舞蹈,例如Dandana,這種舞蹈在庫姆扎里人的婚禮上尤為常見。

 

神啊,我們為穆桑代姆的庫姆扎里人禱告,願他們:

 

l   前來敬拜你詩篇86:9-「主啊,你所造的萬民(族)都要來敬拜你,他們也要榮耀你的名。」

l   看見你的榮耀。以賽亞書66:18-「我知道他們的行為和他們的意念。時候將到,我必將萬民萬族聚來,看見我的榮耀。」

l   用他們的心語清晰地聽到福音。馬太福音24:14-「這天國的福音要傳遍天下,對萬民作見證,然後末期才來到。」

l   成為門徒和順服的跟隨者。馬太福音28:19–「所以,你們要去,使萬民(族)作我的門徒,奉父、子、聖靈的名給他們施洗。」

l   以敬拜和代求為標誌。馬可福音11:17–便教訓他們說:「經上不是記著說『我的殿必稱為萬國禱告的殿』嗎?」(以賽亞書56:7)

l   悔改並得到饒恕。路加福音24:47–「並且人要奉他的名傳悔改、赦罪的道,從耶路撒冷起直傳到萬邦(族)。」

l   被聖靈充滿。使徒行傳2:17–「神說,在末後的日子,我要將我的靈澆灌凡有血氣的。」

Oman's Oil Economy, Part 1

Transformation

Oil was discovered in Oman in 1964, and first exported in 1967. When Sultan Qaboos took over the throne in 1970, he used this newly-found oil wealth to rapidly develop the economy (and society) which previously was primarily based on agriculture and trade, and also heavily relied upon remittances from Omanis working abroad. Petroleum quickly came to dominate the economy, with some 3/4 of government revenue coming from oil. This oil prosperity was passed on to its citizens, and during the 1970's, Oman's GDP per person reached a peak growth of 1,370%! This economic and societal transformation was so remarkable, that in 2010 the UN Development Programme ranked Oman as the most improved nation in the world in the past 40 years.

A Prayer for the Economy:

Almighty God, You have made us in Your own image and given us power over the rest of Your creation.

Enable Oman to develop the economy of this nation in a way suited to the needs of its people.

Provide, we pray, the financial resources required.

Help Oman to make good use of all its human resources, to develop the land with crops and livestock, and to plan wisely in industry and commerce.

Show the leaders any dangers they may face in current economic practices and help them to learn from their mistakes.

May they not impoverish their country, destroy its natural wealth and beauty, pollute its environment, or lose sight of You;

For the sake of Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.

阿曼的石油經濟,第1部分

 

轉型

 

1964年,阿曼發現石油,並於1967年首次開始出口。1970年,卡布斯蘇丹繼位後,他利用新發現的石油財富迅速發展了經濟(和社會),此前,阿曼經濟主要以農業和貿易為基礎,並且嚴重依賴在國外工作的阿曼人匯款。石油迅速成為經濟的主導,政府收入的3/4左右來自石油貿易。石油貿易的繁榮成功影響了國民,在20世紀70年代,阿曼的人均GDP增長達到1,370%的峰值!這一經濟和社會轉型如此引人注目,以至於2010年,聯合國開發計畫署將阿曼評為過去40年來世界上進步最大的國家。

 

為經濟禱告:

 

全能的神,你按照自己的形象創造了我們,並賦予我們權能來管理你創造的其他事物。

讓阿曼能夠以適合其人民需求的方式發展這個國家的經濟。

我們禱告你供應所需的財政資源。

幫助阿曼充分利用所有人力資源,開發土地、種植農作物和飼養牲畜,並在工業和商業方面進行明智的規劃。

向領導者展示當前經濟政策操作中可能面臨的任何危險,並幫助他們從錯誤中吸取教訓。

願他們不要使他們的國家貧窮,破壞其自然資源和美麗,污染其環境,或忽視你;

奉我們的主耶穌基督的名禱告,阿們。

Oman's Oil Economy, Part 2

Growing Pains

Oman’s rapid economic growth in the past few decades has come at a cost. Foreign labor was recruited in most every field, and Omanis mainly held government jobs and received substantial government support and subsidies. Over time, this seems to have led to sizable unemployment (especially among the youth), a dampened work ethic, a sense of entitlement, and decreased entrepreneurial risk. Moreover, Oman's oil reserves are limited and expected to run out in 15-20 years. And the plunge in oil prices in the 2010s was devastating to Oman's economy and drove the government into very high debt. Protests that began in the Arab Spring of 2011 have periodically resurfaced, most recently in May 2021.

Please Pray For:

  • A spirit of creativity, ingenuity, perseverance, and pride of workmanship to be poured out on Omanis (cf. Exodus 31:1-5)

  • Christian investors to have favor as they run Kingdom businesses, bringing influence and blessing to their communities

  • Expat believers to be salt and light in their workplaces

  • Oman's recovery from both the oil prices and the economic effects of Covid-19

  • Any economic upheaval and social changes to open doors for the Gospel

阿曼的石油經濟,第2部分

 

成長的煩惱

 

阿曼過去幾十年的快速經濟增長是有代價的。幾乎每個領域都招募外國勞動力,阿曼人主要擔任政府工作,並獲得大量政府支持和補貼。隨著時間的推移,這似乎導致了相當大的失業(尤其是年輕人),職業道德消沉,爭奪權利意識明顯,承擔創業風險意願降低。此外,阿曼的石油儲量有限,預計將在15-20年內耗盡。2010年代,油價暴跌為對阿曼經濟造成毀滅性的嚴重影響,導致政府債台高築。始於2011年阿拉伯之春的抗議活動時不時地重新出現,最近一次是在2021年5月。

 

請為以下事項禱告:

 

l   創造力、獨創性、不屈不撓的精神和工藝自豪感將傾注在阿曼人身上(參見出埃及記31:1-5)

l   基督徒投資者經營國度事業,為他們的社群帶來影響和福氣時蒙神悅納

l   外籍信徒在他們的工作場所做鹽做光

l   阿曼從油價暴跌和新冠疫情的經濟影響中復蘇

l   任何經濟劇變和社會變革都會為福音打開大門

Oman's Oil Economy, Part 3

Diversification

It is thought that Sultan Haitham was chosen by Qaboos to be his successor because of his involvement in constructing the Vision 2040 economic plan. This plan focuses on Omanization (employing more Omanis instead of expats) and diversifying the economy away from oil dependence. Some say that as the country becomes less dependent on oil and government welfare, there may need to be a loosening of social/political control in return.

Declare This:

When you have eaten your fill and have built fine houses and live in them, and when your herds and flocks have multiplied, and your silver and gold is multiplied…then do not exalt yourself, forgetting the Lord your God…Do not say to yourself, “My power and the might of my own hand have gotten me this wealth.” But remember the Lord your God… (from Deuteronomy 8:12-17)

  • We bless the nation of Oman to remember the Lord as the source of its wealth and prosperity!

  • We bless Oman and its leadership to walk in humility and in the fear of the Lord!

阿曼的石油經濟,第3部分

 

多樣化

 

據說,卡布斯之所以選擇海瑟姆蘇丹作為繼任者,是因為他參與制定了「2040願景」經濟計畫。該計畫的重點是阿曼化(雇用更多阿曼人而不是外籍人士)和實現經濟多元化,擺脫對石油的依賴。有人說,隨著國家對石油和政府福利的依賴減少,作為回報可能需要放鬆社會/政治管控。

 

用以下的話宣告:

 

恐怕你吃得飽足,建造美好的房屋居住,你的牛羊加多,你的金銀增添,並你所有的全都加增,你就…忘記耶和華你的神…恐怕你心裡說:「這貨財是我力量、我能力得來的。」你要紀念耶和華你的神…(出自申命記8:12-18)

Dibba Al-Baya

Ancient Markets and Battles

Dibba Al-Baya (Arabic: دِبَّا ٱلْبَيْعَة, pop. 9,863) is a town and seat of Dibba Al-Baya District (pop. 10,416) in the Musandam Region. It is located on the border of the UAE and called the ‘gateway to Musandam.’ It sits on the Arabian sea, and its blue waters are rich with coral reefs, dolphins, and other marine life. Dibba Al-Baya is part of the larger Dibba area, where Dibba-Al Fujairah and Dibba Al-Hisn are part of the UAE.

Although a small town now, in pre-Islamic times Dibba was an international merchant center, facilitating trade from Iraq, China, Persia and India with Arabia. This area has been under rule of the Persians, various Arab dynasties, and the Portuguese. It was the site of a key battle during the ‘Ridda Wars’, 632–634 AD, as ‘apostates’ resisted coming under Islam after the death of Muhammed. Some 10,000 people were killed at the Battle of Dibba, and the rebels were defeated. The phrase 'Day of Dibba' is still used, signifying the defeat of paganism by Islam.

'He makes wars cease to the ends of the earth. He breaks the bow and shatters the spear; He burns the shields with fire. He says, “Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.”' (Psalm 46:9-10) We bless the land and people of Dibba to be cleansed from the effects of war and violence. May God be exalted in their midst!

Pray for the Town and District of Dibba Al-Baya:

  • Glory of God. That God would be glorified and exalted and worshipped in Dibba Al-Baya. (Habakkuk 2:14, Psalm 138:4-5)

  • Expansion of the Kingdom. That many people in Dibba Al-Baya will come to know Jesus, and that communities of believers will be planted, that movements will be ignited. (Luke 1:32-33, 2 Cor 10:15-16)

  • Hearts and Minds. That spiritual blindness and bondages will be lifted from the minds of the people in Dibba Al-Baya, and that hearts will be stirred with hunger for Jesus and truth. (2 Cor 4:4, Luke 24:45)

  • Authority. Pray with the authority that Jesus gives you over principalities, powers and spiritual strongholds in Dibba Al-Baya. Pray that God would release prophetic words over the land, releasing visions, dreams, signs and wonders in Jesus’ name. (Matthew 18:18, 2 Cor 10:4)

  • Revival. That any believers living in Dibba Al-Baya would be awakened by the Holy Spirit, have love and passion stirred in them for the lost, and rise to meet the need in their neighborhood. (Luke 10:2, Ezekiel 37:10)

  • Provision. That God would bring His provision and blessing to all those in need in Dibba Al-Baya. That He would show His eternal kindness, demonstrate the blessing of His Kingdom, and cause His people to prosper. (Philippians 4:19, Jeremiah 29:7)

迪巴拜亞

 

古代市場與戰役

 

迪巴拜亞https://goo.gl/maps/Z8c5GKUeufp765nY8)(阿拉伯語:دِبَّا ٱلْبَيْعَة,人口9,863)是穆桑代姆行政區迪巴拜亞區(人口10,416)的一個城鎮和中心地帶。它位於阿聯酋邊境,被稱為「通往穆桑代姆的門戶」。它位於阿拉伯海,湛藍的海水中遍佈珊瑚礁、海豚和其他海洋生物。迪巴拜亞是更大的迪巴地區的一部分,迪巴富查伊拉和迪巴海森是阿聯酋的一部分。

 

雖然現在迪巴只是一個小鎮,但在前伊斯蘭時代,這裡曾是一個國際商貿中心,促進了伊拉克、中國、波斯和印度與阿拉伯地區的貿易。該地區曾被波斯人、各個阿拉伯王朝和葡萄牙人統治。這裡是公元632-634年「里達戰爭」期間一場關鍵戰役的發生地,因為穆罕默德死後,「叛教者」拒絕皈依伊斯蘭。迪巴戰役中約有10,000人喪生,叛軍被擊敗。「迪巴日」這個短語至今仍在使用,標誌著伊斯蘭擊敗了異教信仰。

 

「他止息刀兵,直到地極;他折弓、斷槍,把戰車焚燒在火中。『你們要休息,要知道我是神!我必在外邦中被尊崇,在遍地上也被尊崇。』」(詩篇46:9-10)我們祝福迪巴的土地和人民擺脫戰爭和暴力的影響。願神在他們中間被頌揚!

 

為迪巴的城鎮和轄區禱告:

 

l   神的榮耀。神將在迪巴得榮耀,尊崇和敬拜。(哈巴谷書2:14;詩篇138:4-5)

l   神國的擴展。迪巴的許多人將會認識耶穌,信徒群體將會扎根,激起植堂運動。(路加福音1:32-33;哥林多後書10:15-16)

l   心靈與頭腦。在迪巴人民的頭腦中,屬靈的盲目和束縛將被破除,他們的心靈將萌發對耶穌和真理的渴慕。(哥林多後書4:4,路加福音24:45)

l   權柄。用耶穌給你的權柄禱告,這權柄勝過迪巴的公國統治權、權勢和屬靈的營壘。求神奉耶穌的名在地上賜下先知的話語,賜下異象、異夢、神蹟和奇事。(馬太福音18:18,哥林多後書10:4)

l   復興。願任何生活在迪巴的信徒都能被聖靈喚醒,對失喪之人的愛和熱心在他們裡面被激發,並起來滿足他們鄰舍的需要。(路加福音10:2,以西結書37:10)

l   供應。願神將祂的供應和福氣帶給迪巴所有有需要的人。祂要顯示祂永遠的慈愛,顯明祂國度的賜福,使祂的百姓興旺。(腓立比書4:19,耶利米書29:7)

High Priestly Prayer, Part 1

John 17:1-5

This week we’ll be praying through John 17, the 'High Priestly Prayer,’ where Jesus prays for Himself, His disciples, and all believers.

“After Jesus said this, He looked toward heaven and prayed:

‘Father, the hour has come. Glorify Your Son, that Your Son may glorify You. For You granted Him authority over all people that He might give eternal life to all those You have given Him. Now this is eternal life: that they know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom You have sent. I have brought You glory on earth by finishing the work You gave me to do. And now, Father, glorify Me in Your presence with the glory I had with You before the world began.’” (John 17:1-5)

  • Pray for Jesus to be glorified in Oman, that the Father would be glorified.

  • Pray for all those in Oman that are given eternal life, that they would know the Father, and know Jesus.

  • Pray that God’s work in Oman would come to fruition and completion

High Priestly Prayer, Part 2

John 17:6-12

This week we are praying through John 17, the 'High Priestly Prayer,’ where Jesus prays for Himself, His disciples, and all believers.

“I have revealed You to those whom You gave me out of the world. They were Yours; You gave them to me and they have obeyed your word. Now they know that everything You have given Me comes from You. For I gave them the words You gave Me and they accepted them. They knew with certainty that I came from You, and they believed that You sent Me.

"I pray for them. I am not praying for the world, but for those you have given me, for they are Yours. All I have is Yours, and all You have is Mine. And glory has come to Me through them. I will remain in the world no longer, but they are still in the world, and I am coming to You.

"Holy Father, protect them by the power of Your name, the name You gave Me, so that they may be one as We are one. While I was with them, I protected them and kept them safe by that name You gave Me. None has been lost except the one doomed to destruction so that Scripture would be fulfilled." (John 17:6-12)

  • Pray for Omani believers, that they would obey God’s word, and accept the words of Jesus as truth

  • Pray that Omani believers would be certain in their belief of the deity of Jesus.

  • Pray that local believers would know that they belong to Jesus, and confident in His protection of them.

  • Pray that none of the Omani believers would be lost and deny their faith in Jesus.

「你從世上賜給我的人,我已將你的名顯明與他們。他們本是你的,你將他們賜給我,他們也遵守了你的道。如今他們知道,凡你所賜給我的,都是從你那裡來的;因為你所賜給我的道,我已經賜給他們。他們也領受了,又確實知道,我是從你出來的,並且信你差了我來。」

 

「我為他們祈求,不為世人祈求,卻為你所賜給我的人祈求,因他們本是你的。凡是我的都是你的,你的也是我的,並且我因他們得了榮耀。從今以後,我不在世上,他們卻在世上,我往你那裡去。」

 

「聖父啊,求你因你所賜給我的名保守他們,叫他們合而為一,像我們一樣。我與他們同在的時候,因你所賜給我的名保守了他們,我也護衛了他們;其中除了那滅亡之子,沒有一個滅亡的,好叫經上的話得應驗。」(約翰福音17:6-12)

l   禱告阿曼信徒確定無疑深信耶穌的神性。

l   禱告當地的信徒知道他們屬於耶穌,並堅信耶穌會保護他們。

High Priestly Prayer, Part 3

John 17:13-19

This week we are praying through John 17, the 'High Priestly Prayer,’ where Jesus prays for Himself, His disciples, and all believers.

“I am coming to You now, but I say these things while I am still in the world, so that they may have the full measure of My joy within them. I have given them Your word and the world has hated them, for they are not of the world any more than I am of the world. My prayer is not that You take them out of the world but that You protect them from the evil one. They are not of the world, even as I am not of it. Sanctify them by the truth; Your word is truth. As You sent me into the world, I have sent them into the world. For them I sanctify Myself, that they too may be truly sanctified." (John 17:13-19)

  • Pray for Omani believers to be full of His joy

  • Pray that in the midst of persecution, they would be protected from the evil one.

  • Pray that they would be made holy by the truth of God’s word.

I have given them the glory that You gave Me, that they may be one as We are one— I in them and You in Me—so that they may be brought to complete unity. Then the world will know that You sent Me and have loved them even as You have loved Me.” (John 17:20-23)
