二月份祈禱的要點
為阿曼祈禱的要點
February prayer points
 Adh-Dhahirah Region Awaiting His Appearing February's focus is the Adh-Dhahirah region (pop. 213,043), which is located in northwest Oman, bordering Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. The name comes from the Arabic root, ظهر, which has multiple meanings. One is the back of body (as opposed to the neighbouring region Al Batinah, related to the root word for stomach). It also means to appear, to show, to manifest, to become visible. We want Jesus to be seen clearly for who He is in this region-that He may be made visible, manifest, and apparent here! The capital of this region is Ibri, which is from the Arabic root عبر, meaning 'to cross' or 'crossing', and was the site of ancient caravan crossroads. There are two other districts in this region, Yanqul and Dhank. Nearby there is a UNESCO world heritage site of 3000-year-old tombs, remnants of a once-thriving civilization. Oman's largest oil field is also here, operating since 1968. “Then, the Arrival of the Son of Man! It will fill the skies—no one will miss it. Unready people all over the world, outsiders to the splendour and power, will raise a huge lament as they watch the Son of Man blazing out of heaven. At that same moment, he’ll dispatch his angels with a trumpet-blast summons, pulling in God’s chosen from the four winds, from pole to pole. Matthew 24:30-31 (The Message) Let’s pray for the Adh-Dhahirah region:
Worship with us!: The Lion and the Lamb by Leeland. May many in Adh-Dhahirah see Him and bow before Him! Matthew 18:14 Focus—‘Your Father in heaven does not want one of these little ones to be lost.’ Please bring these towns and villages before the Father: Qalat Al-Awamir, Izki district, Ad-Dakhliyah region. Population: 3,572 Al-Qaryatayn, Izki district, Ad-Dakhliyah region. Population: 2,810 Qarut Ash-Shamaliyah, Izki district, Ad-Dakhliyah region.

等待祂的出現
二月份的重點是扎希拉行政區【以下或稱「地區」】（人口21萬3043），位於阿曼西北部，與沙特阿拉伯和阿聯酋接壤。這個名字來自阿拉伯語的詞根ظهر，它有多種含義。一個是身體的背部（與鄰近的巴提奈行政區相對，這個詞與「胃」的詞根有關）。它的意思還有出現，顯示，顯現，變得可見。我們希望耶穌在這個行政區被清楚地看到—祂可以在這裡變得可見、顯現和明顯！
這個行政區的首府是伊卜里，它來自阿拉伯語詞根عبر，意思是「穿越」或「橫穿」，也是古代車隊歷經十字路口的地點。這個行政區還有另外兩個轄區【以下或稱「區」】，延古勒區和達哈克區。附近有一處聯合國教科文組織的世界文化遺產地，有3000年歷史的古墓，是曾 經繁盛文明的遺跡。阿曼最大的油田也在這裡，自1968年開始運營。
「那時，人子的兆頭要顯在天上，地上的萬族都要哀哭。他們要看見人子有能力，有大榮耀，駕著天上的雲降臨。他要差遣使者，用號筒的大聲，將他的選民從四方，從天這邊到天那邊，都招聚了來。」（馬太福音24：30—31）
讓我們為扎希拉行政區禱告：

 Oman's Cabinet The Council of Ministers The Sultan is Oman's absolute Head of State and Head of Government. However, he delegates some of his power to a Cabinet of government ministers and other top officials, and is also advised by a Parliament to help him rule over the nation. Today we will pray for the Cabinet, known as the Council of Ministers. The Council of Ministers consists of members appointed by him to oversee various national departments and divisions. In August 2020, Sultan Haitham reshuffled the cabinet, consolidating and reforming several of the ministries. Many of the ministers are part of the royal family, including the Sultan's oldest son and heir to the throne, Thiyazan. There are three female ministers, heading the Ministries of Education, Higher Education, and Social Development. Three regions–Muscat, Musandam, and Dhofar–have governors that are also a part of the Cabinet, perhaps reflecting their ethnic diversity, and/or their geographical distance from the capital for the latter two. A complete list of appointments (including other government offices) can be found here. Let’s bless Oman’s Council of Ministers: But the wisdom from above is always pure, filled with peace, considerate and teachable. It is filled with love and never displays prejudice or hypocrisy in any form. (James 3:17, TPT)
Worship with us!: Perfect Wisdom of Our God by Keith and Kristyn Getty. May the Council of Ministers govern and rule with righteousness, justice, and heavenly wisdom!

部長委員會
蘇丹是阿曼絕對的國家元首和政府首腦。然而，他將部分權力委託給由政府部長和其他高級官員組成的內閣，並聽取議會的建議，幫助他統治國家。今天，我們將為內閣禱告，也就是部長委員會。
部長委員會由他所任命的成員組成，負責監管各個國家行政部門和分支機構。2020年8月，蘇丹海瑟姆改組了內閣，鞏固和改革了幾個政府部門。許多部長都是皇家成員，包括蘇丹的長子和王位繼承人提亞贊。有三位女部長，分別領導教育部、高等教育部和社會發展部。馬斯喀特、穆桑代姆和佐法爾這三個行政區的總督也是內閣的一部分，這也許反映了他們的民族多樣性，以及/或者後兩個行政區與首都的地理距離。完整的任命名單（包括其他政府機關）可在此（http://betaona.iitcoman.com/councilofministers）找到。
讓我們祝福阿曼的部長委員會：
「惟獨從上頭來的智慧，先是清潔，後是和平，溫良柔順，滿有憐憫，多結善果，沒有偏見，沒有假冒。」（雅各書3：17）

 Oman's Parliament The State Council Oman's Parliament, or the Council of Oman, assists the government in policymaking but does not have any power to independently legislate. It meets at the request of the Sultan and discusses issues he raises. Any decisions about recommendations are made by a majority vote. The Parliament has 2 parts, the ‘upper’ and ‘lower’ chambers. The 'upper' chamber of Parliament is the State Council, (مجلس الدولة العماني) which is comprised of 83 leaders appointed by the Sultan, who serve for 4-year terms. Members of the State Council are primarily former government officers, prominent experts in various fields, and other dignitaries. There are 15 women in the Council. A complete list of members can be found here. Let’s pray for the State Council: God, our eternal King, we pray for Oman's State Council members to walk in humility and integrity. May they put the needs of others before themselves and be true servant leaders. May they not be so proud that they cannot hear the wisdom of others, but instead seek out good counsel and follow it. May they be modest and not self-promoting. May they be honest, morally upright, and have strong principles in line with Your standard of righteousness. May they not accept bribes or work for their own ends, but for the benefit of the people. In Jesus' Name, Amen. Worship with us!: You Are My Vision by Rend Collective. May the State Council members know God as their vision, wisdom, and true word!

國務院【國務委員會】
阿曼議會或阿曼的國務院協助政府制定政策，但沒有任何獨立立法的權力。它應蘇丹的要求開會並討論他提出的問題。任何關於正式建議的決定都是由多數人投票決定的。議會有兩部分，「上議院」和「下議院」。
議會的「上議院」是國務院（مجلس الدولة العماني），由蘇丹任命的83位領袖組成，任期4年。國務院成員主要由原政府官員、各領域知名專家和其他高官政要組成。委員會中有15名婦女。完整的成員名單可以在這裡（https://www.statecouncil.om/Member/Members）找到。
讓我們為國務院禱告：
神啊，我們永恆的王，我們為阿曼的國務院成員禱告，讓他們以謙卑和正直行事。願他們把別人的需要放在自己的需要之前，成為真正的僕人式領袖。願他們不要驕傲到聽不進其他人的智慧，而是尋求良好忠告並遵循。願他們謙遜，不自我標榜。願他們誠實，道德正直，有堅定的原則，符合你公義的標準。願他們不收受賄賂，也不為自己的目的行事，而是為人民的益處而行。奉主耶穌的名禱告，阿們。 ________________________________________ 與我們一同敬拜吧！《成為我異象》（https://youtu.be/rMmSPOF-6Xo），重獲新生樂團。願國務院成員認識神是他們的異象、智慧和真道！ ________________________________________ 馬太福音18：14重點—「你們在天上的父也是這樣，不願意這小子裡失喪一個。」

 Oman's Parliament The Consultative Council As mentioned yesterday, Oman's Parliament, consisting of the ‘upper’ and ‘lower’ chambers, assists the government in policymaking but does not have any power to independently legislate. The 'lower' chamber is the Consultative Council or Majlis A'Shura (مجلس الشورى), which was created in 1991. It is made up of democratically elected representatives from the 63 wilayats (districts) across the country. Districts with a population greater than 30,000 can send 2 representatives to the Council. Because there are no political parties allowed in Oman, these elections are non-partisan and any citizen of good standing can run for office. These representatives also serve for 4-year terms. A complete list of representatives can be found here. Let’s Pray for the Consultative Council: Heavenly Father, give the Council members wisdom that they may be able to do things beyond their understanding. Help them to choose the right path when they make decisions on behalf of this nation. Give them grace and courage to make sound decisions that align with Your will for this nation. In Jesus’ name, we pray, Amen. Worship with us!: Micah 6:8 by Maranatha Music. May the Consultative Council members do justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with God!

參議會【協商委員會】
正如昨天所提到的，阿曼的議會由「上議院」和「下議院」組成，協助政府制定政策，但沒有任何獨立立法的權力。
「下議院」是1991年成立的協商委員會或Majlis A'Shura（مجلس الشورى）。它由來自全國63個維拉亞特【阿拉伯國家的行政區劃單位】（轄區）的民選代表組成。人口超過3萬的轄區可以派2名代表參加委員會。由於阿曼不允許有政黨，這些選舉是非黨派的，任何有良好信譽的公民都可以競選公職。這些代表的任期也是4年。完整的代表名單可以在這裡（https://www.shura.om/Member/Members）找到。
讓我們為協商委員會禱告：
天父，求你賜給委員會的成員智慧，使他們能做到超過他們能理解的事。當他們代表這個國家做出決定時，幫助他們選擇正確的道路。賜給他們恩典和勇氣，讓他們做出符合你對這個國家旨意的合理決定。奉耶穌的名禱告，阿們。 ________________________________________ 與我們一同敬拜吧！《彌迦書6：8》（https://youtu.be/G5Tb4-riE7o），主必快來音樂。願協商委員會的成員行公義，好憐憫，存謙卑的心，與神同行！ ________________________________________ 馬太福音18：14重點—「你們在天上的父也是這樣，不願意這小子裡失喪一個。」

 Genesis 12:3 I will bless those who bless you... I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you.” (Genesis 12:3 NLT) God promised Abraham that those who bless him and his line will be blessed, and those who come against him and his line will be cursed. This is a standing promise of God, which is still in effect. In December 2022, Oman’s Majlis Ash-Shura voted to ‘criminalize’ ties with Israel, expanding their current boycott to include any sports, cultural, or economic interactions. The new amendment also forbids any in-person or online interaction with Israelis. Previously Oman was thought to be next in line to join the Abraham Accords and normalize ties with Israel, with Netanyahu visiting Sultan Qaboos in 2018. However, it seems this will not be the case. This is thought to be because of pressure from Iran, and because of the current situation with the Palestinians. We want Oman to be blessed, and not be cursed! Pray that there would be a shift at the governmental level to normalize relations with Israel, which would bring about the blessing of God on this nation. Worship with us!: You Deserve the Glory (English, Hebrew and Arabic). May Omanis join with Israelis in worshiping the God of Abraham!

你祝福的，我必賜福與他…
「為你祝福的，我必賜福與他；那咒詛你的，我必咒詛他。地上的萬族都要因你得福。」（創世記12：3）
神應許亞伯拉罕，凡祝福他和他後裔的，必蒙福；凡反對他和他後裔的，必受咒詛。這是神常存的應許，現在仍然有效。
2022年12月，阿曼協商委員會投票決定將與以色列的關係「定為犯罪」（https://www.timesofisrael.com/omans-parliament-votes-to-expand-israel-boycott-in-interim-step/），擴大他們目前的抵制行動範圍，包括任何體育、文化或經濟往來。新的修訂之處還禁止與以色列人進行任何面對面或線上互動。此前，隨著內塔尼亞胡於2018年拜訪蘇丹卡布斯，阿曼被認為是下一個加入亞伯拉罕協議並與以色列關係正常化的國家。然而，看來這將不會成為事實。有人認為是由於來自伊朗的壓力，以及目前與巴勒斯坦人相關的局勢。
我們希望阿曼被賜福，而不是被咒詛！禱告在政府層面上有一個轉變，使與以色列的關係正常化，這將使神的賜福臨到這個國家。 ________________________________________ 與我們一同敬拜吧！《你真配得榮耀》（https://youtu.be/Nr64Gr5hwIE）（英語，希伯來語和阿拉伯語）。願阿曼人與以色列人一起敬拜亞伯拉罕的神！ ________________________________________ 馬太福音18：14重點—「你們在天上的父也是這樣，不願意這小子裡失喪一個。」

 Ibri At the Crossroads Ibri (pop. 55,419) is the largest city in and capital of the Adh-Dhahirah region, and seat of the Ibri district (pop, 163,179). The name comes from the Arabic root عبر, meaning 'to cross' or 'crossing', and was the site of ancient caravan crossroads linking what is now Oman, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates. It sits on the foot of the Hajar Mountain chain and the edge of the vast “Empty Quarter” desert. Nearby archaeological sites date back to the Bronze Age (3000 BC), and the fort in Ibri is approximately 400 years old. This area has historically been known as a bastion of conservative Islam, tribalism, and hostility to outsiders. Today, Ibri is home to 2 universities, a large marble quarrying industry, and Oman’s largest solar energy plant. In 2021, a new highway across the Empty Quarter was opened, re-linking Ibri with Saudi Arabia. God gives an invitation to His people in Jeremiah 6:16, 'This is what the Lord says: “Stop at the crossroads and look around. Ask for the old, godly way, and walk in it. Travel its path, and you will find rest for your souls."' May the people of Ibri, literally at the crossroads, seek for and discover the true ancient path! Watch a prayer video for Ibri here.

伊卜里（https://goo.gl/maps/xsTp2AGau5TEGsSN7）（人口5萬5419）是扎希拉行政區最大的城市和首府，也是伊卜里區的中心地帶（人口16萬3179）。這個名字來自阿拉伯語的詞根عبر，意思是「穿越」或「橫穿」，它是古代車隊歷經十字路口的地點，連接著現在的阿曼、沙特阿拉伯和阿聯酋。它坐落在哈賈爾山脈的山腳下和廣闊的「空域」沙漠的邊緣。
附近的考古遺址可以追溯到青銅時代（公元前3000年），而伊卜里的堡壘大約有400年的歷史。歷史上，這個地區一直被稱為保守伊斯蘭、部族主義和敵視外來者的堅固營壘。如今，伊卜里擁有兩所大學，一個大型的大理石採石業和阿曼最大的太陽能發電廠。2021年，一條穿越空域沙漠的新的公路開通，重新連接了伊卜里和沙特阿拉伯。
神在耶利米書6：16邀請祂的百姓說，「耶和華如此說：『你們當站在路上察看，訪問古道，哪是善道，便行在其間；這樣，你們心裡必得安息。』」願實實在在地真的處於十字路口的伊卜里的人民尋求並找到真正的「古道」！

 Frankincense, Part 1 Oman's White Gold The frankincense trade from the south of Oman has been an influential and lucrative business for 6000+ years. This precious resin has been used in the mummification of ancient Egyptian pharaohs (including King Tut), offered in Moses' tabernacle and Solomon's temple, gifted by the Magi of Persia to infant Jesus, and extravagantly burned by Nero in Rome-an entire year’s harvest of incense at the funeral of his favourite mistress. Known in Arabic as luban (اللبان), the English word is derived from Old French 'franc encens', or 'pure incense'. Besides being burned for its sweet-smelling perfume, frankincense also has medicinal qualities. It can be chewed and swallowed directly, or soaked in water overnight and drunk. The ancients believed it to be a wonder-drug, curing everything from ulcers to asthma to skin wounds. Even today, frankincense is commonly ingested for stomach ailments, and pregnant women will chew it believing it will help produce an intelligent baby. It is thought that the frankincense trade spurred the domestication of the camel, helped spread written language, and advanced shipbuilding and global trade. Several sites around Salalah in Southern Oman have been named as UNESCO world heritage sites, collectively known as the "Land of Frankincense''. The burning of incense has long been a part of religious practice in the Middle East and beyond, from pagan temples and warding off of evil spirits, to the true worship of Yahweh. In the Bible, prayer and worship are likened to incense, wafting upwards to the heavens and being a sweet aroma to God. "My name will be great among the nations, from where the sun rises to where it sets. In every place incense and pure offerings will be brought to Me, because My name will be great among the nations,” says the Lord Almighty. (Malachi 1:11) We declare that Omanis are meant to pray to and worship the living, triune God! We bless this land to come into its birthright and inheritance, as a nation of worshippers and intercessors! Worship with us!: Incense by The Belonging Co. May the praise of God rise up like incense from the people of Oman!

阿曼的白色金子
6000多年來，阿曼南部的乳香貿易一直是一個有影響力和有利可圖的行業。這種珍貴的樹脂被用於把古代埃及法老（包括圖坦卡蒙國王）製作成木乃伊，在摩西的帳幕和所羅門的神殿都供奉乳香，波斯的東方博士把乳香當作禮物送給還是嬰兒的耶穌，羅馬的尼祿在他最喜歡的情婦的葬禮上焚燒了一整年採集的乳香。
在阿拉伯語中被稱為「luban」（اللبان），這個英語單詞來源於古法語「franc encens」，或「純香」。乳香除了因其芬芳香味而被焚燒外，還具有藥用價值。可直接咀嚼吞服，也可在水中浸泡過夜後飲用。古人認為它是一種靈丹妙藥，可以治癒從潰瘍到哮喘再到皮膚傷口的一切疾病。即使在今天，乳香也通常被咽下服用來治療胃病，孕婦也會咀嚼乳香，認為這有助於生出一個聰明的孩子。
人們認為，乳香貿易刺激了駱駝的馴化，幫助傳播了書面語言，促進了造船和全球貿易的發展。阿曼南部的塞拉萊周圍的幾個遺址被聯合國教科文組織列為世界文化遺產地，統稱為「乳香之地」。
在中東及其他地區，焚燒乳香長期以來一直是宗教實踐的一部分，從異教場所和驅除惡靈，到對耶和華的真正敬拜。在聖經中，禱告和敬拜被比作熏香（燒香），飄向天空，化作神面前的馨香之氣。
萬軍之耶和華說：「從日出之地到日落之處，我的名在外邦中必尊為大。在各處，人必奉我的名燒香，獻潔淨的供物。因為我的名在外邦中必尊為大。」（瑪拉基書1：11）
我們宣告阿曼人要向永活的三位一體的神禱告和敬拜！我們祝福這片土地，作為一個敬拜者和代禱者的國家，獲得它與生俱來的權利和遺產！ ________________________________________ 與我們一同敬拜吧！ 《燒香》（https://youtu.be/vqkGdeop08c），The Belonging Co，願對神的讚美如燒香一般從阿曼的民中興起。 ________________________________________ 馬太福音18：14重點—「你們在天上的父也是這樣，不願意這小子裡失喪一個。」

 Frankincense, Part 2 Quality and Production Frankincense is the gummy tree sap harvested from the Boswellia sacra tree. A tree doesn't produce resin until it is 10 years old. Each year, beginning in April, local tribesmen will strategically cut the tree bark, and the sap bleeds out and hardens for 10 days. These small 'tears' are then scraped off and collected. The farmers will cut the same spot again, over and over, until the final harvest a few months later produces the palest and purest frankincense. Traditionally, after 5 years of tapping and harvesting, a tree is left to recover for 5 years. The knarled Boswellia Sacra trees are found only in the southern Arabian Peninsula and the Horn of Africa, but the best frankincense is produced in the limestone soil and arid climate of Oman. Elevation, rainfall, and timing of harvest all affect the resin's quality. Some say the resin from Jabal Samhan or Jabal Hasik is the best in Oman. There are many grades of frankincense, determined by colour and purity. Royal green/Hojari frankincense is the finest and most valuable, in the past reserved for kings and sultans. And when He had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb. Each one had a harp and they were holding golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of God’s people. And they sang a new song, saying: “You are worthy to take the scroll and to open its seals, because You were slain, and with Your blood You purchased for God people from every tribe and language and people and nation." (Revelation 5:8-9)

品質與生產
乳香是從神聖乳香樹上採集的粘稠的樹液。一棵樹要到10歲才會產生樹脂，每年4月開始，當地部族的人會有策略地砍下樹皮，汁液會滲出並經歷10天變硬凝固。然後這些小「眼淚」被刮下來收集起來。農民們會在同一個地方一次又一次地切割，直到幾個月後的最後一次採集，產出的是顏色最淡、最純粹的乳香。傳統上，經過5年的開發和採集，一棵樹需要5年才能恢復。
扭曲多節的神聖乳香樹只有在阿拉伯半島南部和非洲之角才有，但是最好的乳香產自阿曼的石灰岩土壤和乾旱氣候。海拔、降雨量和採集時間都會影響樹脂的品質。有人說賈巴爾薩姆漢或者賈巴爾哈西克的樹脂是阿曼最好的。乳香有許多等級，由顏色和純度決定。皇家綠/霍賈里乳香是品質最好的也是最有價值的，在過去是專門為國王和蘇丹保留的。
祂既拿了書卷，四活物和二十四位長老就俯伏在羔羊面前，各拿著琴和盛滿了香的金爐，這香就是眾聖徒的祈禱。他們唱新歌說：「你配拿書卷，配揭開七印，因為你曾被殺，用自己的血從各族、各方、各民、各國中買了人來，叫他們歸於神。」（啟示錄5：8—9）

 Frankincense, Part 3 Biblical Worship Incense in Biblical Worship (Adapted from PTAP's Incense & Prayer Guide) Then the Lord said to Moses, “Take fragrant spices—gum resin, onycha and galbanum—and pure frankincense, all in equal amounts, and make a fragrant blend of incense, the work of a perfumer. It is to be salted and pure and sacred. Grind some of it to powder and place it in front of the ark of the covenant law in the tent of meeting, where I will meet with you. It shall be most holy to you. Do not make any incense with this formula for yourselves; consider it holy to the Lord. Whoever makes incense like it to enjoy its fragrance must be cut off from their people.” (Exodus 30:34-38) This offering of sacred incense used in the Tabernacle and the Temple was:

 Bat Tombs Monuments of the Dead The Bat Tombs (as they are popularly known) form a large necropolis on an ancient burial ground near the village of Bat in Ibri district. They were ‘discovered’ In 1976 by a team of Danish archaeologists, and are believed to date back to 4,000 BC. It forms the most complete collection of settlements and necropolises from this era in the world, and is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. One section of the site consists of “beehive” tombs, which contain up to five graves in each, while another section contains tombs that appear to have been communal graves. Similar structures in varying states of disrepair are scattered all across northern Oman and the UAE, the legacy of the people of Majan, an ancient Bronze Age civilization. Thank God, as believers we know there is more after death than a tomb! May the people of Oman know that as well! Jesus told her, “I am the resurrection and the life. Anyone who believes in Me will live, even after dying. Everyone who lives in Me and believes in Me will never ever die. (John 11:25-26)

亡靈紀念遺址
蝙蝠墳墓（眾所周知的稱呼）在伊卜里區蝙蝠村附近的一個古老的埋葬地上形成了一個大型墳場。1976年，一隊丹麥考古學家「發現」了它們，人們認為它們可以追溯到公元前4000年。它形成了世界上這個年代最完整的定居點和墓地，被聯合國教科文組織列為世界文化遺產地（https://whc.unesco.org/en/list/434/）。該遺址的一部分由「蜂巢」墓穴組成，每個墓穴中包含多達五個墳墓，而另一部分則包含似乎是公共墳墓的墓穴。遍及阿曼北部和阿聯酋，散佈著各式各樣年久失修狀態的類似建築，這是古代青銅時代文明—馬漢人民的遺產。
感謝神，作為信徒，我們知道死後還有比墓穴更多的東西。願阿曼人民也知道這一點！

 Black Gold Oman's Oil and Natural Gas The largest oilfield in Oman is at Yibal, in the southern area of the Adh-Dhahirah region. It was the first significant oil strike in Oman, discovered in 1962 and beginning production in 1968. At its peak, it was producing some 250,000 barrels per day, but current production is down to about 88,000 barrels per day. Liquified natural gas (LNG) was discovered in 2000 at the Khazzan liquid natural gas field, also in Adh-Dhahirah region. Production started in 2017, and it is the largest hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, project outside of the United States. Limited amounts of LNG are exported, with most being used domestically, Oman’s petroleum reserves are smaller than other nations in the Arab Gulf, and are expected to run out in 25-30 years. The petroleum boom helped finance the development of Oman, but there is concern about the nation’s future economy. These things were my assets, but I wrote them off as a loss for the sake of Christ.

阿曼的石油和天然氣
阿曼最大的油田位於扎希拉行政區南部地區的伊巴勒。這是阿曼第一個重要的石油發現，於1962年發現，1968年開始生產。在鼎盛時期，它的日產量約為25萬桶，但目前的日產量已降至約8.8萬桶。
2000 年，同樣位於扎希拉行政區的哈贊液化天然氣田發現了液化天然氣（LNG）。該項目於2017年投產，是美國以外最大的水壓致裂或者水力壓裂項目。出口的液化天然氣數量有限，大部分用於國內。
阿曼的石油儲量比阿拉伯海灣的其他國家要少，預計將在25—30年內耗盡。石油繁榮為阿曼的發展提供了資金，但人們對該國未來的經濟感到擔憂。

 Holy Spirit Blow Through Adh-Dhahirah! Today, let us pray for the release of the Holy Spirit over Adh-Dhahirah. At Pentecost, God poured out the promised Holy Spirit, empowering the early church and drawing many to believe. Peter said in Acts 2:17-21, “What you see was predicted long ago by the prophet Joel: ‘In the last days,’ God says, ‘I will pour out my Spirit upon all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy. Your young men will see visions, and your old men will dream dreams. In those days I will pour out my Spirit even on my servants—men and women alike—and they will prophesy. And I will cause wonders in the heavens above and signs on the earth below—blood and fire and clouds of smoke. The sun will become dark, and the moon will turn blood red before that great and glorious day of the Lord arrives. But everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.’ We want to see this, so that people in Adh-Dhahirah will call on the name of the Lord and be saved!

今天，讓我們禱告聖靈在扎希拉遍地遊走運行。在五旬節，神澆灌應許的聖靈，使早期教會有能力，並吸引許多人相信。彼得在使徒行傳2：17—21中說，
「這正是藉著先知約珥所說的：『神說：在末後的日子，我要將我的靈澆灌凡血肉之軀的。你們的兒女要說預言；你們的少年要見異象；你們的老人要做異夢。在那些日子，我要把我的靈澆灌，甚至給我的僕人和婢女，他們要說預言。在天上，我要顯出奇事，在地下，我要顯出神蹟，有血，有火，有煙霧。太陽要變為黑暗，月亮要變為血，這都在主大而光榮的日子未到以前。那時，凡求告主名的都必得救。』」
我們想看到聖靈吹過扎希拉，好叫扎希拉的人呼求主的名而得救！

 Eid Al-Hubb 'Holiday of Love' Although not widely celebrated in Oman, Valentine’s Day (known in Arabic as 'Eid Al-Hubb) is growing in popularity, especially among the younger generation. Today, let’s pray for the revelation of the love of God to the Omanis. God showed how much He loved us by sending His one and only Son into the world so that we might have eternal life through Him.

 Dhank Darkness into Light Dhank (Arabic: ضنك) is a town (pop. 13,729) and seat of the district of Dhank (pop. 23,436) in Adh-Dhahirah region. 'Dhank' in Arabic means ‘grey, dark, depressive.’ However ominous its name, it is a quaint town at the foot of the mountains. The district has many beautiful wadis, such as Wadi Al Fateh and Wadi Qumeirah. The area is known for its agriculture, ecological diversity, and migratory birds that pass through annually. The Battle of Dhank took place in 1870, a key conflict in establishing the Sultanate of Muscat and Oman. The battle pitted forces in support of the Omani Imam, Azzan bin Qais, against the Sultan of Muscat, Turki bin Said. The battle was won by Sultan Turki bin Said, and led to the combining of the Oman Imamate in the interior with the Muscat Sultanate on the coast. Jesus said, “I am the light of the world. If you follow Me, you won’t have to walk in darkness, because you will have the light that leads to life.” (John 8:12) May the people of Dhank come out of darkness and follow the Light!

達哈克戰役發生於1870年，是建立馬斯喀特和阿曼蘇丹國的關鍵戰鬥。在這場戰鬥中，支持阿曼伊瑪目阿贊·本·凱伊斯的軍隊與馬斯喀特蘇丹圖爾基·本·賽義德交戰。蘇丹圖爾基·本·賽義德贏得了這場戰鬥，並導致內陸的阿曼伊斯蘭教長國與沿海的馬斯喀特蘇丹國的合併。
耶穌又對眾人說：「我是世界的光。跟從我的，就不在黑暗裡走，必要得著生命的光。」（約翰福音8：12）願達哈克的人從黑暗中出來，跟隨光明！

 Power from the Sun Ibri Solar Plant Oman’s largest solar farm, Ibri 2 Solar Power Plant, is located in the desert near Ibri in Adh-Dhahirah region. Completed in 2022 by a group of companies from Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and other Gulf states, the plant consists of 1.4 million solar panels and covers an area of 13 million square meters. The project is expected to power 33,000 homes, and remove 340,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions from the country’s footprint annually. The project is also part of the Sultanate’s efforts to diversify its sources of energy, which are primarily derived from fossil-fuel products such as oil and natural gas. His brightness is like the sunlight; He has bright rays flashing from His hand, And there in the sunlike splendour is the hiding place of His power.

 Adh-Dhahirah Seekers Come to the Water We know that the Father is actively at work in Oman, to begin drawing people to His Son, Jesus. Researchers estimate that approximately 2.5% of any given population are open to religious change. So in the Adh-Dhahirah region, that means approximately 5,326 people are potentially open! ‘Broad sowing’ initiatives are challenging in Oman, because of laws outlawing proselytization. In 2019 there was a clandestine literature distribution in Ibri, which sent ripples of shock and outrage throughout the nation, and resulted in several workers having to leave. However, His Word went out, and we know it does not return void. Social media campaigns are starting to connect with seekers, and beginning to bear fruit. Today, let’s pray for seekers in the Adh-Dhahirah region, and the social media efforts to reach them.

到水邊來
我們知道天父正在阿曼積極動工，開始吸引人們歸向祂的兒 子耶穌。調查人員估計，在任何給定的人口中，大約有2.5%的人對宗教改變持開放態度。因此，在扎希拉行政區，這意味著大約有5,326人可能有開放心態！
由於阿曼法律禁止勸誘改變信仰宗教，「廣泛撒種」計畫在阿曼面臨挑戰。2019年，伊卜里發生了一次私下的文字印刷品分發活動，在全國引發了一陣震驚和憤怒，導致幾名工人不得不離開。然而，祂的話語發出去了，我們知道祂的話語不會徒然返回。
社交媒體活動開始與慕道友建立聯繫，並開始取得成果。今天，讓我們為扎希拉行政區的慕道友禱告，以及為社交媒體為接觸他們所做的努力禱告。

 Al-Isra' wal-Mi'raj The Night Journey to the Holy City and to Heaven Today is the Islamic holiday of al-Isra’ wal Mi’raj (Arabic: الإسراء والمعراج). The Israʾ and the Miʿraj are the two parts of a Night Journey that, according to Islam, the prophet Muhammad (AD 570–632) took during a single night around the year AD 621. Within Islam, it signifies both a physical and spiritual journey. A brief sketch of the story is in the 17th chapter of the Quran, called al-Isra', while greater detail is found in the Hadith (later collections of the reports, teachings, deeds, and sayings of Muhammad). In the Israʾ part of the journey, Muhammad is said to have travelled with the angel Gabriel on the back of Buraq (a horse-like lightning creature) from the Ka’aba in Mecca to the Al-Aqsa Mosque (i.e. the Temple Mount) in Jerusalem, where he led other prophets in prayer. In the next part of the journey, the Miʿraj, he is said to have ascended into the 7th heaven, where he individually greeted the prophets Adam, Jesus and his cousin John the Baptist, Joseph, Enoch, Aaron, Moses and Abraham one by one until he reached the throne of God. There God communicated with him, giving him words and instructions, most important of which was the commandment to Muslims to offer prayers, initially fifty times a day. At the urging of Moses, Muhammad returned to God several times before eventually reducing the number to five. Let’s pray for Omanis who are commemorating Isra’ wal Mi’raj today:

夜遊去往聖城和天堂
今天是伊斯蘭節日（夜行）登霄節（阿拉伯語：الإسراء والمعراج） 。根據伊斯蘭的說法，先知穆罕默德（公元570—632年）在公元621年左右的一個晚上進行了一次夜間旅行（夜遊），夜行和登霄是這次夜遊的兩個部分。在伊斯蘭中，它象徵著身體和精神的旅程。古蘭經第17章對這個故事有一個簡短的描述，叫做「夜行（伊斯拉）」，而更詳細的內容可以在聖訓（後來收集的穆罕默德的傳說、教導、行為和言論）中找到。
在旅程的夜行部分，據說穆罕默德和天使加百列一起騎在布拉格馬（一種像馬一樣的閃電般生物）的背上，從麥加的天房去到耶路撒冷的阿克薩清真寺（即聖殿山），在那裡他帶領其他先知禱告。在接下來的旅程—登霄（升天）中，據說他升入了第七層天，在那裡他分別迎接了先知亞當，耶穌和他的表弟施洗約翰、約瑟、以諾、亞倫、摩西和亞伯拉罕，直到他到達神的寶座。在那裡，神與他溝通，給他話語和指示，其中最重要的是穆斯林獻上禱告的命令，最初每天禱告50次。在摩西的催促下，穆罕默德幾次回到神那裡，最後把這個數字減少到五次。
讓我們為阿曼人禱告，他們今天正在紀念夜行登霄：

 The Grand Mufti Sheikh Ahmed Al-Khalili, Oman's Head Religious Leader Earlier this month we prayed for various branches of the Oman government, including the Cabinet of Ministers, and the 2 houses of Parliament. For the next few days we will pray for key individuals who influence the direction of the nation. Today, let’s pray for the Grand Mufti of Oman, Sheikh Ahmad bin Hamad Al-Khalili (Arabic: أحمد بن حمد الخليلي). The Grand Mufti is the head of regional muftis, (Islamic jurisconsults) of a state. The office originated in the Ottoman empire and was later adopted in a number of modern countries, including Oman. Al-Khalili is the head religious leader in Oman, and his tweets, pronouncements and ‘fatwas’ carry significant weight in the eyes of the people and the government. Al-Khalili was born in Zanzibar (formerly part of Oman) in 1942. His tribal ancestors are from Bahla in the Dakhiliyah region, and he is a distant relative of one of the last Imams to rule the interior of Oman. In 1975 a young Sultan Qaboos appointed him as Grand Mufti by royal decree and he has served in this position for nearly 50 years. Although noted for his tolerance within the various sects of Islam, he is also known for inflammatory remarks against the West. You can watch translated excerpts of an interview with Al-Khalili here. Khalili is now 80 years old, and it is unclear who his successor will be. Let us pray for Sheikh Al-Khalili, and for his eventual successor:

謝赫•艾哈邁德•勒哈利利，阿曼的宗教領袖
本月初，我們為阿曼政府的各個部門禱告，包括內閣部長和議會兩院。在接下來的幾天裡，我們將為影響國家方向的關鍵人物禱告。
今天，讓我們為阿曼大穆夫提謝赫•艾哈邁德•本•哈馬德•勒哈利利（https://www.omanobserver.om/article/79535/Features/the-grand-mufti-teacher-scholar-and-religious-icon）（阿拉伯語：أحمد بن حمد الخليلي）禱告。大穆夫提是一個國家各個行政區穆夫提（伊斯蘭法學家）的負責人。該職位起源於奧斯曼帝國，後來被許多現代國家採用，包括阿曼。勒哈利利是阿曼的宗教領袖，他的推文、聲明和「教令」在人民和政府眼中具有重要的分量。
勒哈利利1942年出生在桑吉巴（前阿曼的一部分）。他的部族祖先來自達希利亞行政區的拜赫萊，他是最後統治阿曼內陸的伊瑪目之一的遠親。1975年，年輕的蘇丹卡布斯根據皇家法令任命他為大穆夫提，他在這個職位上工作了近50年。雖然他以對伊斯蘭各教派的寬容而聞名，但他也因對西方的煽動性言論而聞名。你可以在這裡觀看對勒哈利利採訪的翻譯摘錄（https://www.memri.org/tv/grand-mufti-oman-ahmed-bin-hamad-al-khalili-jazeera-taliban-america-palestine）。勒哈利利現年80歲，目前還不清楚他的繼任者將是誰。
讓我們為謝赫·勒哈利利禱告，為他最終的繼任者禱告 ：

 Women Leaders Rising Up To Take Their Place Today we continue to pray for influential individuals in the government of Oman. There currently are 3 women serving as heads of government ministries. Madiha bint Ahmed Al Shibaniya is the Minister of Education, and “Madiha” is a household word amongst families of school-aged students in Oman. Dr. Rahma bint Ibrahim Al Mahrooqi was appointed Minister of Higher Education by Sultan Haitham in 2020. Her predecessor, Dr. Rawiyah al- Busaidiyah served from 2004 to 2020 and was the first woman appointed to the office of Minister in Oman. Laila bint Ahmed Al Najjar is the Minister of Social Development, appointed by Sultan Haitham in 2020. These women have been pioneers in leading female participation in government, and are role models to girls and young women across the Sultanate. Let’s bless these women, and ask the Lord to raise up many more women leaders in Oman!

 The Foreign Minister Oman's Diplomat to the World Today we continue to pray for influential individuals in the government of Oman. Sayyid Badr bin Hamed al-Busaidi is the Foreign Minister of Oman (similar to the US Secretary of State) and represents Oman in international meetings and events, and before the UN. He was appointed by Sultan Haitham in 2020 to replace Yusuf bin Alawi as the chief Omani diplomat, who had served under Sultan Qaboos for 23 years. Al-Busaidi is part of the extended royal family, and his father, Hamed al-Busaidi, lived in the palace as an advisor first to Sultan Said in the 1960s, and then to Sultan Qaboos from 1970-2002. Al-Busaidi studied in the UK and entered government service in 1988 as a diplomat. He led Oman to become a member of the World Trade Organisation in 2000, and has been key in developing Oman-US ties, including the Free Trade Agreement between the two nations, signed in 2006. Al-Busaidi represents the Sultan’s interests, and it is expected that he will steer a similar course of neutrality as held in the past. However, with significant regional conflicts and security concerns (Yemen, Iran), he has a key role to play on the world stage. 18 All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: 19 that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting people’s sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation. 20 We are therefore Christ’s ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ’s behalf: Be reconciled to God. (2 Cor. 5:18-20) Let us bless Al-Busaidi as an ambassador of reconciliation in earthly things, and may he come to know spiritual reconciliation through Jesus!

阿曼駐世界大使
今天，我們繼續為阿曼政府中有影響力的個人禱告。賽義德·巴德爾·本·哈米德·布賽迪（https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sayyid_Badr_Albusaidi）是阿曼外交部長（類似於美國國務卿），在國際會議和活動以及聯合國面前代表阿曼。他於2020年被蘇丹海瑟姆任命為阿曼首席外交官，接替在蘇丹卡布斯手下工作了23年的優素福·本·阿拉維（https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yusuf_bin_Alawi_bin_Abdullah）。布賽迪是皇家大家庭的一員，他的父親哈米德·布賽迪在20世紀60年代作為蘇丹賽義德的顧問住在王宮裡，然後在1970年至2002年期間作為蘇丹卡布斯的顧問。
布賽迪曾在英國學習，並於1988年以外交官的身份進入政府服務。2000年，他帶領阿曼成為世界貿易組織成員，並在發展阿曼與美國關係（https://youtu.be/N9qNhdKO7Mk）方面發揮了關鍵作用，包括兩國於2006年簽署的《自由貿易協定》。布賽迪代表蘇丹的利益，預計他將採取與過去類似的中立路線。然而，面對重大的地區衝突和安全問題（也門、伊朗），他在世界舞台上可以發揮關鍵作用。
一切都是出於神，他藉著基督使我們與他和好，又將勸人與他和好的職分賜給我們。這就是神在基督裡叫世人與自己和好，不將他們的過犯歸到他們身上，並且將這和好的道理託付了我們。所以，我們作基督的使者，就好像神藉我們勸你們一般。我們替基督求你們與神和好。（哥林多後書5：18—20）
讓我們祝福布賽迪，他是一位在世俗事物上的和好的大使，願他認識到通過耶穌而來的屬靈的和好！

The Crown Prince Theyazin, the Future Sultan Today we continue to pray for influential individuals in the government of Oman. Theyazin bin Haitham Al Said (Arabic: ذي يزن بن هيثم آل سعيد) is the oldest son of Sultan Haitham bin Tariq, born in 1990, and the heir to the Sultan’s throne. Theyazin is the Minister of Culture, Youth and Sports (as was his father under the rule of Sultan Qaboos), a position he has held since 2020. He graduated from Oxford with a degree in Political Science, and last year graduated from Sandhurst Royal Military Academy. In 2021, he married Sayyida Meyyan, the daughter of Oman’s deputy prime minister for defence affairs. By me, Wisdom, princes and nobles rule, all those who govern rightly. I love those who love me, and those who diligently seek me will find me. (Prov. 8:16-17) Let us bless Theyazin as the Prince and future Sultan of Oman, that he would walk in and one day rule by divine wisdom!

 Minister of the Royal Office The Strong Arm of Power Today we continue to pray for influential individuals in the government of Oman. General Sultan bin Mohammed al Numani has been the Minister of the Royal Office and Head of the Office of the Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces since 2011. He is one of the most powerful men in the nation, likely second to the Sultan, and this is especially unique given he is not in the royal family. He oversees Oman’s national security and intelligence services, including the Internal Security Services (secret police). He is thought to oversee the quelling of various protests, and is rumoured to deal harshly with dissidents. General Numani is also a head member of the Défense Council, an extra-parliamentary body tasked with coordinating the actions of the country's various security and armed forces. In this role, he oversaw the transition of power upon the death of Sultan Qaboos and the accession of Sultan Haitham, including opening the sealed envelope containing the name of Qaboos’ successor. He is pictured above (in military uniform) carrying the coffin of Sultan Qaboos, alongside Sultan Haitham. A wise warrior is better than a strong one, and a man of knowledge than one of strength (Proverbs 24:5). May General Numani come to know the wisdom and knowledge of God! Let's pray for General Numani:

強大的武裝權力
今天，我們繼續為阿曼政府中有影響力的個人禱告。自2011年以來，蘇丹·本·穆罕默德·努馬尼將軍一直擔任皇家辦公室部長兼武裝部隊最高指揮官職位負責人。他是這個國家最有權勢的人之一，可能僅次於蘇丹，考慮到他不是皇家成員，這一點尤為獨特。他監管阿曼的國家安全和情報部門，包括內務安全服務部（秘密員警）。他被認為監管鎮壓各種抗議活動，據說嚴厲對待持不同政見者。
努馬尼將軍也是國防委員會的主要成員，這是一個議會外的機構，負責協調該國各種安全和武裝部隊的行動。在這個職位上，他監督保障蘇丹卡布斯去世後的權力過渡和蘇丹海瑟姆的登基，包括打開包含卡布斯繼任者名字的密封信封。上圖是他（身著軍裝）抬著蘇丹卡布斯的棺材，旁邊是蘇丹海瑟姆。
智慧人大有能力，有知識的人力上加力。（箴言24：5）願努馬尼將軍認識神的智慧和知識！

 Teacher's Day Today is Teacher’s Day in Oman, and educators across the nation will be celebrated today with ceremonies and gifts of appreciation. In the government school system, there are 1242 schools with 729,331 students and 57,033 teachers. There are a further 900 or so private schools with thousands of teachers, most of them expatriate. There are various issues of concern facing teachers. One is the desire to Omanize teaching positions in government schools, coupled with a lack of qualified Omani teachers. (A relatively small percentage of graduating Omanis want to become teachers.) A large number of experienced teachers have been retiring over the past three or four years, compounding the problem. Secondly, the classrooms are often overcrowded, making quality education difficult. A third area is abuse (bullying to physical and sexual abuse) at school: teacher to student and student to student. People have started talking about this more, and camera installation and other measures have started to be taken to prevent it. But there remains much more to be done. “All your children shall be taught by the LORD, and great shall be the peace of your children.” (Isaiah 54:13) Let’s pray for teachers today in Oman:

今天是阿曼的教師節，全國各地的教育工作者將舉行慶祝儀式並贈送感謝禮物。在公立學校系統中，有1242所學校，72萬9331名學生和5萬7033名教師。另外還有大約900所私立學校，擁有數千名教師，其中大多數是外籍教師。
教師們面臨著各種各樣的問題。一是希望政府學校的教學職位阿曼化，再加上缺乏合格的阿曼教師。（畢業後想成為教師的阿曼人比例相對較小。）在過去的三四年裡，大量有經驗的教師退休，使問題更加複雜。其次，教室往往過於擁擠，使優質教育變得困難。第三個方面是學校的虐待（從霸淩到身體虐待和性虐待）：教師對學生以及學生對學生。人們開始更多地談論這個問題，並開始採取安裝攝像頭和其他措施來防止此類事件。但仍有許多工作要做。
「你的兒女都要受耶和華的教訓，你的兒女必大享平安。」（以賽亞書54：13）
讓我們今天為阿曼的教師們禱告：

 Movements Rapid Multiplication of Disciples and Churches in Adh-Dhahirah We want to see the fullness of the Kingdom of God coming into every part of Adh-Dhahirah region, like yeast penetrating the entire batch of dough (Matt. 13:33). And the fastest way for this to happen is by rapidly reproducing disciples and groups (churches), who spread and multiply within and across their families, tribes, social networks, and societies. Acts 6:7 is our heart’s desire and fervent prayer: “God's word reigned supreme and kept spreading. The number of Jesus' followers in [Adh-Dhahirah] quickly grew and increased by the day.” Let’s pray for the church that will form in Adh-Dhahirah:

扎希拉門徒和教會的快速倍增
我們想要看到神的國度充滿扎希拉行政區的每一個角落，就像酵母滲透整個麵團一樣（馬太福音13：33）。而實現這一目標的最快方式是快速重複栽培門徒和團體（教會），他們在家庭、部落、社交網路和社會中擴散和倍增。
使徒行傳6：7是我們內心的渴望和熱切的禱告：「神的道興旺起來【至高無上，不斷傳播】；【扎希拉的】門徒數目增加得很多【迅速增長，與日俱增】。」
讓我們為即將在扎希拉成立的教會禱告：

 Horse Racing An Ancient and Enduring Sport Horse breeding and horse racing are ancient traditions for Omanis. Developed by the Bedouin for battle, the Arabian horse breed is one of the fasted and most beautiful in the world. Horses are held in high esteem by Muslims, as Muhammed called them sacred. In Oman there are often horse races and shows held during Eid holidays, to demonstrate the sportsmanship and skill of horse and rider alike. Ibri, the capital of Adh-Dhahirah region, holds an annual horse race of endurance, where horses race for 100 km (62 miles). Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the LORD our God. (Psalm 20:7) Horses are often seen as symbols of military strength or power. Today, let us bless the people of Adh-Dhahirah not to rely on their own strength or power, but rather to trust in God to save them! Worship with us!: Psalm 20 by The Psalms Project. May the people of Adh-Dhahirah trust in the Lord their God!

一項古老而持久的運動
養馬和賽馬是阿曼人的古老傳統。阿拉伯馬是由貝都因人為戰鬥而開發的，是世界上最快和最美麗的馬之一。馬 受到穆斯林的高度尊重，穆罕默德稱它們為「神聖的」。在阿曼，宰牲節期間經常舉行賽馬和表演，以展示馬和騎手的體育精神和技巧。在扎希拉行政區的首府伊卜里，每年都會舉辦一場跑馬耐力賽，賽馬要跑100公里（62英里）。
有人靠車，有人靠馬，但我們要提到耶和華我們神的名。（詩篇20：7）馬通常被視為軍事力量或權力的象徵。今天，讓我們祝福扎希拉的人民不要依靠自己的力量或權力，而是要信靠神會拯救他們！ ________________________________________ 與我們一同敬拜吧！《詩篇20》（https://youtu.be/W5ekcTrLWLw），詩篇項目。願扎希拉的人民倚靠耶和華他們的神。 ________________________________________ 馬太福音18：14重點—「你們在天上的父也是這樣，不願意這小子裡失喪一個。」

Blessing Adh-Dhahirah Salvation Appearing We want to bless Adh-Dhahirah this month with the truth from His Word about His salvation appearing. "For the grace of God has appeared that offers salvation to all people. It teaches us to say “No” to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age, while we wait for the blessed hope—the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, who gave Himself for us to redeem us from all wickedness and to purify for Himself a people that are his very own, eager to do what is good." (Titus 2:11-14) Jesus, thank You that You have appeared and made salvation available to the people of Adh-Dhahirah! Thank You that You have given Yourself to redeem them and purify them. We bless the people of Adh-Dhahirah to accept Your gift of salvation! We bless them to live in holiness and righteousness, as a people belonging to You, Lord!

救恩的出現
這個月，我們要祝福扎希拉，讓祂的話語中關於祂救恩的真理顯現。
「因為神救眾人的 恩典已經顯明出來，教訓我們除去不敬虔的心和世俗的情欲，在今世自守、公義、敬虔度日，等候所盼望的福，並等候至大的神和（或無『和』字）我們救主耶穌基督的榮耀顯現。祂為我們捨了自己，要贖我們脫離一切罪惡，又潔淨我們，特作自己的子民，熱心為善。」（提多書2：11—14）
主耶穌，感謝你，你已經顯現，使救恩臨到扎希拉的百姓。感謝你，因你捨己救贖他們，潔淨他們。我們祝福扎希拉的人民接受你的救贖禮物！主啊，我們祝福他們作為屬於你的子民活在聖潔和公義中！ ________________________________________ 與我們一同敬拜吧！《祂的榮耀出現》（https://youtu.be/iSp2p2XZoJw?si=4lU0y_B-oFS1M1T-），新頌敬拜團。耶穌，感謝你榮耀的救恩！ ________________________________________ 馬太福音18：14重點—「你們在天上的父也是這樣，不願意這小子裡失喪一個。」

 Ripe Fields Praying for the Harvest in Adh-Dhahirah "As you look around right now, wouldn’t you say that in about four months it will be time to harvest? Well, I’m telling you to open your eyes and take a good look at what’s right in front of you. These [Adh-Dhahirah] fields are ripe. It’s harvest time!" (John 4:35 MSG) There has been little intentional Gospel witness living in Adh-Dhahirah region. However, it is thought some Harvest Laborers will be moving to Ibri soon. Pray for open doors and open hearts that would welcome them. And let us pray earnestly to the Lord of the Harvest to send forth new Laborers there!

為扎希拉的收割禱告
「你們豈不說『到收割的時候還有四個月』嗎？我告訴你們：舉目向田觀看，莊稼已經熟了，可以收割了。」（約翰福音4：35）
在扎希拉行政區很少有刻意傳福音的見證人。然而，據說一些收割工人將很快搬到伊卜里。禱告有敞開的門和敞開的心來歡迎他們。讓我們懇切地向收割之主禱告，求祂派遣新的工人到那裡去！
