Micah Challenge Sunday (message following the week of prayer and fasting)

Speaker: Andrew Allan

Information

Micah Challenge Sunday was an opportunity for churches in the UK to join in with the the global church of Jesus Christ in remembering the poor and considering what role it can play in the fight against poverty.

 

THE PRAYER FOR THIS SPECIAL SUNDAY WAS:

O Lord, our great and awesome God, loyal to your promise of love and faithful to all who honour and obey you, hear our prayer.

We pray for those who live in poverty, we cry out for those who are denied justice and we weep for all who are suffering.

We confess that we have not always obeyed you.  We have neglected your commands and have ignored your call for justice.  We have been guided by self-interest and lived in spiritual poverty.

Forgive us

We remember your promises to fill the hungry with good things, to redeem the land by your mighty hand and to restore peace.

Father God, help us always to proclaim your justice and mercy with humility, so that, by the power of your Spirit, we can rid the world of the sin of extreme poverty.

As part of your global church, we stand with millions who praise and worship you.

May our words and deeds declare your perfect goodness, love and righteousness to both the powerful and the powerless so that your Kingdom may come on earth as it is in heaven.

Amen
