PRAY FOR HAITI DAILY DEVOTION DAY 27
GLOBAL PRAYER INITIATIVE OF HAITIAN CHURCHES
Theme Verse 2 Chronicles 7:14
if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.

Healing our land includes addressing poverty. The poor, the lowly, the outcast and the destitute are words that describe majority of the people living in Haiti. Haiti is known as the poorest country in the western hemisphere and this was before the earthquake. Now, Haiti has plunged deeper into its poverty and we cannot sit idly by and do nothing. In Haiti you have the rich and you have the poor. There are virtually no middle class citizens. Jesus was very concerned about the poor; Jesus identified with the poor for He himself lived as one. Matthew 8:20 Jesus replied, “Foxes have holes and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay his head. As Jesus proclaimed His mission on earth in Luke 4:18-19, it was primarily to the poor; “The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to release the oppressed, to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor. Also, Jesus’ main audience was the poor. Where ever Jesus went the poor followed Him and He preached to them, He ministered to them and He loved them.

PRAY: Ask God to give us a heart that longs to help the poor.

ACT: GIVE! Give consistently, Give constructively, Give passionately and Give abundantly.
