一、 本週經文 Scriptures: 列王記下13:17-19 2 Kings
17 說：「你開朝東的窗戶。」他就開了。以利沙說：「射箭吧！」他就射箭。以利沙說：「這是耶和華的得勝箭，就是戰勝亞蘭人的箭；因為你必在亞弗攻打亞蘭人，直到滅盡他們。」 18 以利沙又說：「取幾枝箭來。」他就取了來。以利沙說：「打地吧！他打了三次，便止住了。 19 神人向他發怒，說：「應當擊打五六次，就能攻打亞蘭人直到滅盡；現在只能打敗亞蘭人三次。」
17 “Open the east window,” he said, and he opened it. “Shoot!” Elisha said, and he shot. “The Lord’s arrow of victory, the arrow of victory over Aram!” Elisha declared. “You will completely destroy the Arameans at Aphek.” 18 Then he said, “Take the arrows,” and the king took them. Elisha told him, “Strike the ground.” He struck it three times and stopped. 19 The man of God was angry with him and said, “You should have struck the ground five or six times; then you would have defeated Aram and completely destroyed it. But now you will defeat it only three times.”
二﹑禱告事項 Prayer Items:
1.為茅利塔尼亞禱告：茅利塔尼亞位於非洲西北部,大部分地區為沙漠,屬於全球最貧窮國家之一，伊斯蘭教成為他們的國教已超過千年。根據「伊斯蘭教法」，在茅利塔尼亞傳福音屬非法行為，改教者會被關進監獄或判處死刑等懲罰。讓我們為在黑暗中的茅利塔尼亞人禱告，願恩典之光照亮他們，使他們得以聽見福音。
Pray for Mauritania: Mauritania is located in northwest Africa, with most of its area being desert. It is one of the poorest countries in the world. Islam has been their state religion for more than a thousand years. According to “Islamic law”, preaching the gospel in Mauritania is illegal, and those who convert will be imprisoned or sentenced to death. Let us pray for the Mauritanians who are in darkness, that the light of grace may illuminate them so they may hear the gospel.
