NOW AND HEREAFTER DECEMBER: A Message From Papa Ray

NOW AND HEREAFTER

(DECEMBER)

A Message From Papa Ray

As we approach the threshold between 2021 and 2022, help us to recall that Governor Clarkson prayed, and we MUST now PRAY

    B E C A U S E

It's worse NOW than THEN.

Dear God and Father of all, 

     we thank you daily,

           for your eternal GIFT,

                      at John 3:16.

 

Enable us to appreciate 

   the purpose of your  GIFT

              (J E S U S ),

   THE KING, NOT A BEGGAR.

Coming soon, 

    on your second visit,

        to receive those

           prepared to meet YOU,

Empower us to reflect, 

     on the significance, 

     especially in today's world, 

  when men usurp 

               your identity, 

           calling themselves, 

     Saviour,  Redeemer 

                     and  Messiah. 

           Have mercy!

                Have mercy on us.

Motivate Sierra Leoneans, 

     as we scramble for THINGS, 

         to feel the need 

      to give time and service,

         to honour your name,      

        and attract your grace,

       to heal our divided nation.

Break the Beggar-Spirit,

   (a curse keeping us bound),

   release the gift of faith -

   faith in YOU, the PROVIDER

    who desires our prosperity;

           cause us to use

      that which is in our hands.

Energize our faith-

    not in CULTURE,  but in YOU;

   for the demons of greed,

    have imprisoned our will,

       and we kill for things

         which you freely gave,

          that we in brotherhood, 

            can live in dignity, 

               love and purity.

Release in showers, 

      your grace and mercy, 

    forgiveness and favour,     

          over our nation,

        SIERRA  LEONE.  (PR)
