Engaging in God’s Heart for the Nations: 30-Day Devotionalනියැදිය

Ask for Nations – Day 9

Wesley Duewel (post-mortem), Author and Former President of One Mission Society

Psalm 2:8 (ESV)

“Ask of me, and I will make the nations your heritage, and the ends of the earth your possession.”

God’s ordained key to world evangelism is your prayer. Psalm 2, which is God’s prophetic picture of how Christ will triumph over all human opposition, makes this clear ... Verse 8 gives his promise to Christ.

What is Jesus doing now? He is sitting at the right hand of the Father on heaven’s throne (1 Peter 3:21-22) ... Interceding in prayer (Rom. 8:34) ...

Christ wants us to be his co-heirs and to share his throne through prayer ... Psalm 2:8 is not only God’s promise to Christ, it is his promise to us. We, with Christ, inherit the nations by prayer ...

For which nations are you asking? How do you pray for a country? First, pray for the ruler. Next, pray for pastors, missionaries, and Christians in that nation. Pray for the church to grow. Ask God to use Christians’ testimonies to bring others to salvation. Ask God to give you souls through your prayer.

Nations are yours for the asking. People will be saved if you pray. Jesus conquers through your prayer.

You can help Jesus rule today through your prayer. Your prayer can open doors to nations, cities, homes, and hearts. Your prayer can block and restrain Satan’s opposition. It can protect God’s children. God plans that Jesus and we—his spiritual army—reign, win victories, and extend his kingdom by prayer.

Adopt a nation as your prayer inheritance today. Begin to ask God for that country now. Claim the promise of Psalm 2:8 for your own. Nations and the salvation of their people are yours for the asking.
