Pray as the Lord leads you as you read today’s verse

“Again you have heard that it was said to those of old, ‘You shall not swear falsely, but shall perform to the Lord what you have sworn.’ But I say to you, Do not take an oath at all, either by heaven, for it is the throne of God, or by the earth, for it is his footstool, or by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King. And do not take an oath by your head, for you cannot make one hair white or black. Let what you say be simply ‘Yes’ or ‘No’; anything more than this comes from evil.” (Matthew 5:33-37) ESV

Praying with insight

Islam teaches that deception under certain circumstances is acceptable, and the effects of this teaching breeds mistrust—of God and of others. But the Bible tells us, “Do not lie to each other, since you have taken off your old self with its practices and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge in the image of its Creator”. (Colossians 3:9-10) NIV Pray for people of this area to be people who pursue truth to such an extent that they no longer need to swear in order for people to believe them. May they be able to simply let their ‘yes’ be ‘yes’ and their ‘no’ be ‘no’.

For believers

“Lies are very useful sometimes. They smooth things over and make them easier, ” one new brother declared. Another said, “I forgot to attend my friend’s wedding because work went until 11 pm. What should I tell him?” When a brother said he should simply speak the truth, he did. The next day, the brother received a call saying, “I told the truth. My friend’s right here with me. He is the witness.” Pray that those who have seen lies used to smooth things over temporarily will learn to hate deception and find the freedom that comes from speaking and living in the truth. May the old mother tongue of lying be silenced, and may each one speak the Spirit language of truth.

For the lost

While sharing food at a bus stop, one man told another to pick out anything he wanted to eat and assured him that he would cover the bill for them both. The immediate response was, “Do you swear you will?” The most common answer would be (translated), “By God, I will,” but the believer he was speaking to simply said, “Yes, I will pay.” May those who do not yet believe see the example of believers speaking the truth and be changed. All the vowing and swearing is unnecessary and empty. We do not have control over the future. Lord, we pray for this people to be changed by Jesus and speak the truth and learn trust.

For the church

In the book of Acts, we see the early church confronted with a serious issue of dishonesty in the story of Ananias and Sapphira (Acts 5). God dealt severely with their deception. His word makes it clear how destructive lying and deception can be to the body of Christ and unity. Pray for churches that can confidently live out Ephesians 4:22-25 in this land to multiply, “…put off your old self, which belongs to your former manner of life and is corrupt through deceitful desires, and to be renewed in the spirit of your minds, and to put on the new self, created after the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness. Therefore, having put away falsehood, let each one of you speak the truth with his neighbor, for we are members one of another.” ESV

For areas of influence

Pray for places of education.

Pray for teachers in elementary schools to incentivize honesty and integrity.
Pray for the culture of cheating on exams and in schoolwork to be broken and for any Christians who live in this region to be agents of change in exposing how much lying and cheating hurts the liar.
Pray for new patterns of giving one’s word and keeping one’s word to emerge throughout education systems as more people experience and begin to believe the Gospel.

Declaration of the scripture

Jesus said to the woman at the well, “But the hour is coming, and is now here, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father is seeking such people to worship him.” (John 4:23) ESV She then went and told everyone in her town the truth of what she learned about herself, God, and the Messiah. Pray for men and women in this region to be the same and to be transformed by the truth of Jesus.

“Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. For truly, I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass from the Law until all is accomplished. Therefore whoever relaxes one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever does them and teaches them will be called great in the kingdom of heaven. For I tell you, unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven." (Matthew 5:17-20) ESV

“You have heard that it was said to those of old, ‘You shall not murder; and whoever murders will be liable to judgment.’ But I say to you that everyone who is angry with his brother will be liable to judgment; whoever insults his brother will be liable to the council; and whoever says, ‘You fool!’ will be liable to the hell of fire. So if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother has something against you, leave your gift there before the altar and go. First be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift. Come to terms quickly with your accuser while you are going with him to court, lest your accuser hand you over to the judge, and the judge to the guard, and you be put in prison. Truly, I say to you, you will never get out until you have paid the last penny." (Matthew 5:21-26) ESV

If your right eye causes you to sin, tear it out and throw it away. For it is better that you lose one of your members than that your whole body be thrown into hell. And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. For it is better that you lose one of your members than that your whole body go into hell." (Matthew 5:27-30) ESV

For he makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust. For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax collectors do the same? And if you greet only your brothers, what more are you doing than others? Do not even the Gentiles do the same?

Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward. But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, so that your giving may be in secret.

“Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal, but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. The eye is the lamp of the body. So, if your eye is healthy, your whole body will be full of light, but if your eye is bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light in you is darkness, how great is the darkness! No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and money." (Matthew 6:19-24) ESV

“Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life? And why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin, yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is alive and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? Therefore do not be anxious, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For the Gentiles seek after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all. But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble." (Matthew 6:25-34) ESV

Why do you see the speck that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when there is the log in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother's eye. Do not give dogs what is holy, and do not throw your pearls before pigs, lest they trample them underfoot and turn to attack you." (Matthew 7:1-6) ESV
