PRAY FOR HAITI - 40 DAYS OF PRAYER - DAY 40 PRAISE THE LORD!

Dear Friends and Colleagues in the Faith

PRAY FOR HAITI - 40 DAYS OF PRAYER - DAY 40 PRAISE THE LORD!

Eph 3:20-21 Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us, 21 to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.
It has been a 40 days journey. In those forty days we prayed through hurricanes, Cholera outbreak and an election. I want to thank God for all of you who supported us. We know that it was not in vain. We know that in the very near future we will be hearing news that will encourage our hearts. Today during our worship service we took some time out to pray for Haiti, sang the Haitian Christian National Anthem and commit all of our work to the Lord. Then we erupted in spontaneous praise unto the Lord because He is good and His mercies endures for ever.
The people were out voting today. Not much violence has been reported “Praise the Lord” however it’s not over yet. There were reports of fraud nonetheless. A member of our church remembered 23 years ago during the elections how she was shot in the chest and then was kidnapped. After pleading with her captors saying “I have daughters that need me,” they set her free. She will never forget Election Day in Haiti. Just as she will never forget Election Day in Haiti, let us not forget the Haitians in Haiti.
We’ve prayed, we fasted we made comments and now we are committing all of our efforts unto Him who is able to take them and “do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think,” We commit it all to Him and whatever He does with it we will be sure to give Him the Glory Praise and Honor that He so deserves. I want to thank everybody who participated in this prayer movement. May God’s blessings be upon all of our friends who supported us in prayer. 21 to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.
Special Thanks to: Sharon Cushings of the NYC Leadership Center who inspired some of the themes including Revival of Repentance, The Concerts of Prayer of Greater NY, Tom Nolan Director of Global Action Initiative to Rebuild Haiti and who gave permission to post these devotions on www.Haitione.org and Pastor Paul Francois and the many others who forwarded these email to people across the country and around the world. God bless you all until next time.

PRAY FOR 40 DAYS OF PRAYER -DAY 39

Dear Friends and Colleagues in the Faith:

PRAY FOR 40 DAYS OF PRAYER -DAY 39

Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is being sure of what we hoped for, certain of what we do not see."

Tomorrow is Election Day in Haiti. We have been praying and interceding for 39 days so, what are we hoping for? What is it that we are certain of though we have not seen it yet? We are certain that:

1. Our prayers were not in vain. The Lord has heard every prayer, saw
every tear and has begun to act on behalf of His children.

2. A revival of repentance will spread throughout the Haitian churches in
Haiti and abroad.

3. Haiti’s next president whether He or she is a believer or not will be
aninstrument in God’s hand to execute justice and mercy with
integrity while rebuilding Haiti.

4. Violence during the elections will be at a bare minimum or nonexistence.

5. The Cholera outbreak will come to a complete halt.

Tonight as we pray, thank the Lord for his faithfulness towards His people, Thank Him in advance for the work He has begun in Haiti for His Glory.

PRAY FOR 40 DAYS OF PRAYER -DAY 38

Dear Friends and Colleagues in the Faith:

Isaiah 58:9
Then you will call, and the LORD will answer; you will cry for help, and he will say: Here am I.

There are two days until the elections and the situation looks bleak. Hope seems to be fading for many. There are 18 candidates and no clear front runners, many of the citizens have lost their voting cards in the earthquake and protesters have taken to the street with violence looming. This is on top of the January 12th earthquake that occurred this year where dried bodies and limbs still hangs from a collapsed two story building in Carrefour Feuilles one of the poorest neighborhoods in Haiti. There are 1.5 million people are still living in tents, Cholera outbreak killed over 1,500 and infected thousands. Regardless of how the situation may present itself, we must persevere in prayer. We must not give up. Beraca Baptist Church is still at our annual retreat where we have intensified praying for Haiti. (Go to our Facebook page Beraca Baptist Church or www.haitione.org to see recent pictures.) Isaiah 58:9 Then you will call, and the LORD will answer; you will cry for help, and he will say: Here am I. We believe that though Haiti’s situation is difficult, it is not impossible for God to turn it around. As we pray tonight, pray that the people of God would cry out for help and believe God for what many would think is impossible.

Thanksgiving Retreat Pray For Haiti!!!





PRAY FOR 40 DAYS OF PRAYER -DAY 37

Dear Friends and Colleagues in the Faith:
PRAY FOR 40 DAYS OF PRAYER -DAY 37
1 Thessalonians 5:18
18 give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.


Today we are celebrating Thanksgiving in the United States. It’s a time when families get together and have dinner and share what they are thankful for. So often we begin by thanking God for the people and possessions in our lives and rightfully so, He is a gracious and loving God. The question we must wrestle is, if those things were taken away from us, would we still be thankful? 1 Thessalonians 5:18 give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus. How do you give thanks in all circumstances? How can you accept tragedy as God’s will for you? Think of the people in Haiti. How can they give thanks for their situation and accept it as God’s will for their lives? The answer is in the last two words of that verse, “in Christ.” For it is in Christ that you can find joy in the midst of trial. Nehemiah 8:10 tells us,… for the Joy of the Lord is your strength. Even while they are going through difficult times we can trust that “the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard (their) hearts and (their) minds in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:7. And in the end we know that “my God will meet all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus.” Phil 4:19. It is in Christ Jesus we can give thanks in all circumstances. Outside of Christ our circumstances can dominate us and render us hopeless, but in Christ, I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength. The Lord also gives us this assurance in Rom 8:28, And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. So often we misinterpret this verse thinking it say all thing are good. It says all things work together for good, so that means we have to wait to see the end product and not focus on what is happening here and now. With that said, I can’t wait to see what God has in store for Haiti. When I think of the possibilities, I can’t help but to begin to give God thanks now for what I know He can do and will do for Haiti. Tonight as we pray ask the Lord to help our Haiti brothers & sisters in Haiti to give God thanks in spite of their circumstances.

PRAY FOR 40 DAYS OF PRAYER -DAY 36

Dear Friends and Colleagues in the Faith:

PRAY FOR 40 DAYS OF PRAYER -DAY 36

Matthew 26:36 Then Jesus went with his disciples to a place called Gethsemane, and he said to them, “Sit here while I go over there and pray.” 37 He took Peter and the two sons of Zebedee along with him, and he began to be sorrowful and troubled.


Beraca Baptist Church is leaving tonight for its annual Thanksgiving retreat at the beautiful Dolce Conference Center in Connecticut. Every year for the past 27 years over 300 participants from the Tri-State area, Massachusetts, Canada and Florida join us as we get away from the busyness of life to pray, seek God’s face and replenish ourselves. This year’s theme is The Blessings of Obedience. The bible encourages us to draw away to secluded places to pray. Jesus practiced silence and solitude to connect with God the Father. Mark 1:35 Very early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house and went off to a solitary place, where he prayed. Drawing away to connect with God should be a regular activity for the child of God, especially when they are seeking God’s favor for a special situation such as Haiti. We should “Divert Daily”, get away to do your daily devotions; “Withdraw Weekly” take your Sabbath rest once a week and “Abandon Annually” get away and take a vacation every year. While we are away, we are going to intensify our intercessory prayers for Haiti and its upcoming election. As Jesus was sorrowful and troubled over the situation of mankind which resulted in passionate prayers, we too are sorrowful and troubled over Haiti’s situation and will utter passionate prayers on their behalf. Imagine we are only four days away from the election and there are still 19 candidates running for president. You would think by this time some of the candidate who have no hope of winning would begin backing some of the front runners. That is not the case. This has been a strange year nevertheless, we will remain on our knees and trust God every step of the way. He knows what’s best for Haiti. Tonight as we pray and intercede for Haiti, find a quiet place and draw near to God.

PRAY FOR 40 DAYS OF PRAYER -DAY 35

Dear Friends and Colleagues in the Faith:

PRAY FOR HAITI 40 DAYS OF PRAYER -DAY 35

PRAISE THE LORD, AN ANSWER TO OUR PRAYERS!

As we prayed and asked the Lord to begin a revival of repentance in our Haitian churches in Haiti and abroad, the Lord is beginning to answer our prayers. I attended a meeting last night with about 30 Haitian pastors who are committed to prayer and action. Hundreds of thousands of Haitians, Haitian churches and Haitian Christian organizations around the world representing the Diasporas will join together to fast and pray for 40 days beginning December 3, 2010. They will open their doors for fasting and praying leading up to the anniversary of the earthquake that ravaged Haiti this year on January 12th. On January 12, 2011 churches will conclude with worship services, extended prayer meetings, concerts and other celebrations expressing their love and devotion to God. Throughout that period of time action plans will be revealed so that the people of God can participate. The theme verse for the 40 days of prayer is 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. Praise The Lord!

Tonight as we pray, pray that a Spiritual Revival of Repentance will inundate His people and bring transformation to Haiti. Also, pray that the violence that normally erupts during the elections will be at a bare minimum if not totally eradicated.

I was asked to continue to send out these daily devotional emails for this upcoming 40 days of prayer. Would you please continue the battle with us.

PRAY FOR HAITI 40 DAYS OF PRAYER -DAY 34

Dear Friends and Colleagues in the Faith:

PRAY FOR HAITI 40 DAYS OF PRAYER -DAY 34

Hebrews 10:36
36 You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what he has promised.

As we are in the final week of the 40 Days of Prayer for Haiti and its upcoming elections, many are feeling weary. We can call it “Battle fatigue.” We have been battling on our knees crying out and interceding for Haiti. Some have been fasting and praying, others have been writing about Haiti. I personally found it very challenging trying to fit these daily writings in an already hectic schedule. We all have made some kind of sacrifice of time, money or energy and quite naturally its beginning to wear on us. But nevertheless, we must continue to endure. The prize is never given to the swift nor the strong but to those who endure to the end. As we read in Heb 10:36, “You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what he has promised.” Last night as Beraca Baptist Church gathered to pray for Haiti live on Radio Lumiere, we had some challenges as we did last week. Last week’s emission was cancelled because of difficulties in Haiti and this week we were facing the same fate. We were schedule to go on from 7pm to 8pm when we began to experience all kinds of technical difficulties but nevertheless, we continued to pray and worship the Lord. We worked through the entire hour trying to fix the problem but was unsuccessful. The Spirit of the Lord prompted us to continue praying and worshipping even though our hour was over. Amazingly at 8:10 there was a breakthrough and we went on the air for 45 minutes. We don’t know what God was doing behind the scene, we don’t know why all the difficulties. It would have been easy to give up and say we gave it our best try, but we persevered through prayer and in the end countless Haitians were blessed and encouraged. Let us not give up but rather strengthen ourselves and each other to press forward in prayer and fasting knowing that we will receive what God has promised us because He is faithful. As we pray tonight, ask the Lord to strengthen His people who are on the frontline of the battle so that we may endure and not give up.

PRAY FOR HAITI 40 DAYS OF PRAYER -DAY 33

Dear Friends and Colleagues in the Faith:

PRAY FOR HAITI 40 DAYS OF PRAYER -DAY 33

***Tonight at 7pm the Beraca Baptist Church Pray for Haiti 40 Days of Prayer will AIRED LIVE across Haiti on Radio Lumiere. Please join your hearts and voices with ours as we lift up Haiti before the Lord.

There are seven more days to go until Election Day in Haiti. It is amazing to see how many believers think that Christians should not participate in the elections. Some Christians believe that we should not vote; others believe that Christians should not even run for elected office. This is far from the truth we find in the bible. As a result of that faulty thinking; when the Christians turned their backs on the public sector, society began to slide into darkness and has never fully recovered. Most of our medical institutions bear Christian names but the spirit of God is nowhere to be found. Great Universities such as Harvard, Yale and Princeton founded by Christians and built on Christian values and principles gave way to secular humanist ideology. Why? Because Christians abandoned them. When the Evangelicals turned a blind eye on the civil rights movement led by Dr Martin Luther King Jr and many others, it prolonged the suffering and finally gave way for the homosexual agenda to infiltrate. We must begin to understand that God created government not man. It is God that raises Kings and it is He who dethrones them. Daniel 2:21 says, “He controls the course of world events; he removes kings and sets up other kings. He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to the scholars.” We read that Daniel was a prime minister and did not compromise his faith while in office but because of his faith he was elevated into his position (Dan. 1:3–20). If God did it in Daniel time don’t you think he can do it in our time? It was God who gave Moses and the children of Israel all three branches of our government in the United States; our judicial, legislative and executive branches. He gave us our sanitary system. He gave us our medical system and its symbol. Look on the side of our ambulances you will see a snake on a pole. This comes from God. In Numbers 21:4-9 when the fiery serpents began to bite the people of Israel, they began to die and God told Moses to make a bronze serpent and place it on a pole and anyone who looks upon it will be healed. My question is, if God created all of this for His people to live orderly and productive lives, so, why aren’t his people engaged. Shouldn’t we have Godly men and women serving in public office? Shouldn’t we have godly people in the halls of justice? Shouldn’t they be Presidents, Prime Ministers, Senator and Governors? We need to pray and we need to get involved in electing Godly men and women if we really want to see change in Haiti. The bible tells us to occupy until He comes. That means get involved in doing God’s work while we are still living on earth wherever He has called us to serve until He returns. Tonight let us pray that God will raise Godly leaders to run the country of Haiti.

PRAY FOR HAITI - 40 DAYS OF PRAYER - DAY 32

Dear Friends and Colleagues in the Faith;
This Sunday Beraca's Pray for Haiti will be aired live all across Haiti on Radio Lumiere. @ 7pm.


PRAY FOR HAITI - 40 DAYS OF PRAYER - DAY 32

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.

As a result of repenting and turning from our wicked ways, God forgives us and brings healing. In the case of 2Chronicles7:14 it refers to healing our land. In James 5:16, it refers to healing in our body. “Therefore confess your sins one to another and pray for one another and you may be healed…” Whether it’s physical, emotional, spiritual or geographical, healing is the result of repenting and turning from our wicked ways. Let’s conclude our story about Bishop Eugene Tanniehill. When he repented he experienced spiritual and emotional healing and as a healed man the Lord used him mightily. The prison had a population of 5,000 of the most violent and notorious men in America. In spite of the violence, the Lord used Bishop to lead 2,886 men to the Lord. In the prison he planted four churches started two seminaries; he wrote several books and even earned his college degree. Three documentaries were produced highlighting his life. One was called “The Farm” which was nominated for an Oscar. His sentenced was reduced several times until he was released from prison. One of the last things the governor of Louisiana did after hurricane Katrina was release Bishop Eugene Tanniehill from prison. Prior to releasing him he had to undergo a psychological test to see if he can function in the regular world. To their amazement they found him to be perfectly sound in mind and judgment. Bishop said” he kept his mind on the Lord by memorizing scripture.” Isa 26:3 You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you, because he trust in you. Bishop was released to the care of the Brooklyn Tabernacle where he is featured on several of their DVD’s. Today at the Louisiana State Penitentiary, there stands a life size statue of Bishop Eugene Tanniehill, “The Bishop of Angola.” He is still serving the Lord by going back to Louisiana State Penitentiary where he is an inspiration to many of the inmates there. He also goes our local jails and prisons such as Riker’s Island preaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Healing comes after repentance. Just as the Lord will bring healing to individuals who repent and turn from their wicked ways and used him mightily; as He did with Bishop Tannielhill, He will also bring healing to the land and use that country mightily when His people repent and turn from their wicked ways as we hope with Haiti. Tonight, pray for healing for Haiti. Also, continue to pray for a revival of repentence.

PRAY FOR HAITI - 40 DAYS OF PRAYER - DAY 31

Dear Friends and Colleagues in the Faith;

This Sunday Beraca's Pray for Haiti will be aired live all across Haiti on Radio Lumiere. @ 7pm.

PRAY FOR HAITI - 40 DAYS OF PRAYER - DAY 31
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.

Though your sins have separated you from god, Isaiah 59 :2 but your iniquities have made a separation between you and your God, and your sins have hidden his face from you so that he does not hear. However, when you turn from your wicked ways, God is ready and willing to forgive you. It’s amazing how God is always ready and willing to forgive us no matter how wicked or evil our sins may have been. I have a tenant who spent 52 years in prison, the Louisiana State Penitentiary (also known as Angola State Pen) the bloodiest prison in the United States’ history. He was sent there for killing a pastor for $1.23. As a 22 year old man he was sentenced to life in prison without parole. His name is Eugene Tanniehill. He is known as the Bishop of Angola. We call Bishop. He has an amazing testimony. Not only that he was a murderer, he was also a rapist, a thief and a drug abuser. Back in those days before the law was changed, some of the prisoners were also the prison guards. They were given weapons to watch over the other prisoner. One lonely night as an inmate guard, in a moment of desperation he took his shotgun and put it under his chin and was about to take his life. All of the sudden he remembered the last words of the pastor that he killed “Lord into thy hands I commit my spirit” Bishop began to weep bitterly. As he was about to pull the trigger, he cried out to God in repentance and said “Lord I’m sorry for what I did and if you are real show me yourself, save me” Then all of the sudden a peace like he had never felt before came over him. At that moment he knew God was real and that God had forgiven Him. What happened to Bishop afterwards was so amazing, miraculous and glorious that he was one of the main characters in a documentary that was nominated for an Oscar. We will continue Bishop’s story tomorrow. The bottom line is when we repent, and turn away from our wicked ways God hears us and forgives. There is absolutely no sin that a believer can commit that God will not forgive them for. God has a ready and attentive ear to hear his children; especially when it’s cries of repentance. He is ready to recklessly abandon himself for us as in the story of the prodigal son and come to our rescue. Tonight as we pray for the Haitian churches in Haiti and abroad, ask the Lord to hear the repentant cries of His people. Pray that there will be a revival of repentance throughout the land.

PRAY FOR HAITI - 40 DAYS OF PRAYER - DAY 30

Dear Friends and Colleagues in the Faith;

This Sunday Beraca's Pray for Haiti will be aired live all across Haiti on Radio Lumiere. @ 7pm.

PRAY FOR HAITI - 40 DAYS OF PRAYER - DAY 30

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.

As we are seeking God’s face, we will draw closer to Him. We will begin to see God for who He really is; a God that really love us and have a plan for us. At the same time we will also begin to see ourselves for who we really are, and it’s not pretty. The closer we get to God the more we discover our imperfections such as: our selfishness and how evil our thoughts and intentions can be. We’ll begin to discover in many cases how selfish our motives are even when we are doing the right things. We will also discover how we mostly serve God for personal reasons. Jesus said if anyone will come after me he must first deny himself, take up his cross and follow me. Denying the self is our greatest struggle in the Christian walk. Our church has served in Haiti for the past 10 years; however, since the earthquake we’ve been to Haiti five times. Though the churches in Haiti have increased in numbers and more people are sincerely seeking God, there are still wicked practices in the body of Christ. I experienced something I always used to hear about with some Haitian churches, that is the selfish mentality of some church leaders. For example: if someone entrusts a particular church leader with $100 to give to a member, they will take at least $40 for themselves and give $60 to that member telling them “I only received $60.” When we questioned a leader about this common practice, he could not see anything wrong with it. When we challenged him on it, he cautioned us not to preach against it for it will stir up trouble. Well guest what? Not only did I preach against it to approximately 200 church leaders but spent and extended amount of time explaining how this practice degrades their authority and integrity while minimizing the gospel they preached and the respect they receive from the community. That practice comes from an evil and wicked heart. We saw those with resources to help, instead use those resources to oppress and profit from others in the Church; that comes from an evil and wicked heart. I heard of an account(first hand) where three people applied for a job in a Christian organization (all professing believers) two mysteriously died only to find out later that the third candidate poison their food so that he can get the job; that comes from an evil and wicked heart. The people of God must “turn from their wicked ways..” There needs to be a revival of repentance in the Haitian churches in Haiti and abroad so that God can begin to heal the land. It all begins with His people. Tonight as we pour out our hearts in prayer and intercession for the Haitian churches and it leaders; ask the Lord to convict their hearts so that they may acknowledge their evil and wicked ways and turn from them.

PRAY FOR HAITI - 40 DAYS OF PRAYER - DAY 29

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.

After instructing them to humble themselves and pray, the Lord addresses an area that I believe is more personal and dear to Him than anything else. We all know that the Lord is a loving God. He is a compassionate and merciful God. His love towards us is immeasurable. He has given us His all and His best when He gave us Hs son Jesus Christ. Through Christ’s death we have access to God the Father. Something He had longed for since the beginning of time. When you read the passages leading up to the verse above, the children of Israel were not enduring hard times when God spoke those words to them; they were enjoying the blessings of the Lord (vs10). Everyone had their own homes, the temple was built and it was beautiful and made with the finest materials. What God was doing was preparing them for the hard times they would endure. God knows that when we are facing hard times we do not seek God’s face, we seek His hands. We say Lord give me this, that and the other. Our attitude is, if God does not move fast enough for us, we are ready make new alliances with other gods. We are ready to compromise and negotiate with the god of this world. In hard times we don’t see His face, we are not concern with what He has to say, we are more concern with what we can get from him. We treat God like a vending machine. If you put in the right amount of coins you get what you want but in our case, if we say the right words and then sign off with “in Jesus name” we demand that we get what we want. God is saying seek my face not my hands. Body language says a lot but facial expressions speak volumes. The word of God is the expression of His face, study it and you will see the Love and compassion of the father. Anyone who has been in love knows how it feel when the one you love only want you for what you can give them and not for who you are. Haiti is facing hard times and from the look of things everyone is seeking God’s hand. They are not really concerned about His face, what He is saying or How He feels. I believe with all of my heart that if the church, the people of God begin to seek God’s face they will not only have God, but all that His hands can provide. Tonight as we pray, ask the Lord to help the Church in Haiti and abroad to earnestly seek His face.

PRAY FOR HAITI - 40 DAYS OF PRAYER - DAY 28

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.

After humbling themselves the next thing God implores his people to do is to pray. This is not a prayer of thanksgiving nor is it a prayer of supplication (asking God for stuff); it’s a prayer of repentance. There needs to be a revival of repentance in our Haitian Churches in Haiti and abroad. Not just gathering for week night services as we sometimes do and dress in white to symbolize purity whereas our hearts are dark and far removed from God. No, this is a profound cleansing of the heart and soul because of a grieved spirit that expresses itself in your emotions. You deeply regret what you have done. You are remorseful; you apologize profusely and beg for forgiveness. You think to yourself and say: “I can’t believe those words came out of my mouth, what was I thinking using such filthy language, entertaining such evil thoughts, telling lies to myself and others and believing them; I can’t believe I was involved in such an wicked and disgusting acts. With a sense of urgency you cry out, Lord please forgive me! This is not an exercise you perform simply with your lips my friends; it’s a deep emotion that proceeds from the core of your soul deep within your spirit and sometimes its accompanied with uncontrollable tears and whaling as if you are mourning the death of a loved one. You acknowledged that you’ve committed an egregious act against the one who loved you the most.
Repentance also leads to action. Act 26:20 … repent and turn to God, performing deeds appropriate to repentance. Your actions, your works and lifestyle must show proof that you have changed. It means you have turned around from the direction you were going. If you used to steal, you don’t steal anymore, if you used to curse, you don’t curse anymore. You live to please and honor God with your life whatever the cost may be. Imagine the transformation Haiti would undergo if the Haitian churches would repent of their sins. Imagine the effect they would have on their communities if people saw this kind of transformation in their lives. The healing of the land begins when God’s people repent and pray. Tonight let us pray that a true and lasting repentance would grip the hearts of the Haitian churches in Haiti and abroad.

PRAY FOR HAITI - 40 DAYS OF PRAYER - DAY 27

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.

This verse will be a three to four part series of simple commentaries to help our prayer partners intensify their prayer for the Haitian churches and their leaders. My hope is that the Lord will begin a REVIVAL OF REPENTANCE in the Haitian Churches across Haiti and abroad first and foremost.
I believe that the transformation of Haiti falls squarely on the shoulders of the Haitian Christians in Haiti and the Diasporas (As Nehemiah was). Though the above passage was written to the Hebrews in the Old Testament, it’s a truth that transcend into our day and time. “If my people, who are called by my name” These are the people who profess to know God, they attends church on a regular basis, they sing the hymns and Christian songs, they mention his name in their conversations. This include pastors, teachers, deacon, elders and regular church workers; they also include children, youths and young adults growing up in these churches . Since we claim to be God’s people, God is addressing us, and the first thing he is asking His people to do is; “humble themselves” This indicates that there’s problem with pride. Let’s face it. This is an issue many Haitians in the family of God struggle with. It seems to have become part of our DNA whether they are Pastors or a simple member who thinks highly of themselves for who they are or what they possess. Pride is a deep dark and deceptive sin. Pride is so deceptive, that it can even make you proud of being humble. It’s the original sin that got Satan cast out of heaven. The bottom line is; God hates pride. Though there are many social-economic issues that may be a factor in the Haitian Christian embracing pride however; the church, the people of God must not allow pride become a barrier that hinders God from healing the land of Haiti. As we pray tonight let us address the issue of pride that is destroying all churches and especially our Haitian Churches. Let us cry out to the Lord on behalf of the Haitian church leaders.

Judges 10:15-16
15 But the Israelites said to the LORD, “We have sinned. Do with us whatever you think best, but please rescue us now.” 16 Then they got rid of the foreign gods among them and served the LORD. And he could bear Israel’s misery no longer.

Israel strayed away from God and began serving foreign gods and as a result they were in great distress. Turning away from God to serve other gods is a blatant in-your-face type of idolatry. However, there is another blatant kind of idolatry that is practiced among Christians (in this particular case Haitians Christians) that is equally an affront to God. It is Christians who serve God when things are going well for them. On the surface they seem genuine but when difficult times come, when God seems like he is not there, when He takes too long to answer their prayers, these Christians have what we can call a back-up plan, They will go into their closets or under their bed and bring out their altars and begin to invoke other gods. Others will visit voodoo priests and priestess and make covenants. “Blatant Idolatry.” This includes pastors, elders, deacons, Sunday school teachers and regular self-professing Christians. They are part of the problem of Haiti and they must repent so that the hand of God moves favorable upon Haiti. As we pray tonight, let us declare a movement of repentance, first among the people of God all across the nation of Haiti. Ask the Lord to convict their hearts so that they may say as the children of Israel said to the Lord, “We have sinned. Do with us whatever you think best, but please rescue us now.” Then pray that they get “rid of the foreign gods among them and served the LORD.”

Dear Friends and Colleagues in the Faith;

PRAY FOR HAITI 40 DAYS OF PRAYER DAY 24

Luke 18:1
Then Jesus told his disciples a parable to show them that they should always pray and not give up.

After praying and interceding for Haiti for 23 days, trusting that God is going to move mightily and turn everything around then:
1. The death toll for the cholera outbreak reaches795.
2. Total infected by the Cholera is 12,000.
3. People are refusing to help each other for fear of getting contaminated.
4. Another earthquake hit Haiti in the area of Carrefour yesterday. Two schools were damaged and several students injured but thank God no one died.
5. Violence is on the rise due to the elections.
Our natural instinct would be to throw our hands up in the air and say there is no hope. The Lord does not want us to give up. He wants us to persist in prayer. In chapter seventeen Jesus tells his disciples that things are going to get even worst, wickedness and selfishness will be on the rise but don’t give up. Instead, pray, pray continually, pray unceasingly, pray always and don’t give up, Haiti is depending on our prayers.

Nehemiah 1:5-7
“O LORD, God of heaven, the great and awesome God, who keeps his covenant of love with those who love him and obey his commands, 6 let your ear be attentive and your eyes open to hear the prayer your servant is praying before you day and night for your servants, the people of Israel. I confess the sins we Israelites, including myself and my father’s house, have committed against you. 7 We have acted very wickedly toward you. We have not obeyed the commands, decrees and laws you gave your servant Moses.

As Nehemiah prays to the Lord, it is easy to see how engaged he is on behalf of Israel. He has taken Israel’s situation and made it his own. First he ask, God hear the prayer your servant is praying. He did not say hear the cries of the people of Israel, he made it personal, hear my prayers oh Lord. Second, he says he’s been praying day and night. Nehemiah has been praying non-stop for several months. That means this was important to him. Third, he says I confess the sins we Israelites, including myself and my father’s house, have committed against you. In Nehemiah’s confession he tells God I am part of the problem too. What’s amazing is that Nehemiah had every opportunity to disconnect himself from Israel, he was living in a foreign country, he had a good government job, probably a nice house, but he did not. He identified with the suffering of his people. Instead of turning a blind eye and a deaf ear he engaged God on behalf of his people. As we pray tonight, can we engage ourselves on behalf of Haiti as Nehemiah did when he intercede for Israel?

Scripture: Nehemiah 1:3-4
3 They said to me, “Those who survived the exile and are back in the province are in great trouble and disgrace. The wall of Jerusalem is broken down, and its gates have been burned with fire.” 4 When I heard these things, I sat down and wept. For some days I mourned and fasted and prayed before the God of heaven.

Nehemiah received news about the condition of his country and his countrymen. The news broke his heart and sent him close to, if not into a deep depression. Now at this particular time the Jews have been in exile for many years (probably 70) but this did not stop Nehemiah from caring deeply about his country’s condition and the condition of his countrymen. When he heard about the suffering of his people; the great trouble and disgrace they were facing, he wept and for many days he mourned. We who Haitians living outside of Haiti should take note. Is our hearts still broken for Haiti and the great trouble and disgrace they are currently facing? Or have we gotten used to it and become numb to the fact that there is real suffering going on right now in Haiti. Tonight as we pray ask the lord to break our hearts for Haiti. Ask Him to make us sensitive to the ongoing suffering of the Haitian people because if our hearts are not broken, we will not be able to weep and mourn for Haiti. Pray passionately for Haiti.

1Samuel 9:2
He had a son named Saul, an impressive young man without equal among the Israelites—a head taller than any of the others.

In our world today, how you look and how impressive you are is everything. Looking good and being impressive will get you the contract, the job, the notoriety, people easily get asked to go out on a date because of their looks. There is a lot of emphasis on the external but very little on the internal; the heart the mind the intentions and motives, the things that really drives a person. Man looks at the outward appearance but God looks at the heart. Though how we speak and conduct ourselves in public are very important however, they should not be the reasons to place anyone in leadership. Any person, groups of people or even a nation who has experienced hardship can be easily deceived by impressive people looking and playing the part of a leader. Saul was impressive physically but when you follow his career as a King he was an emotional and spiritual wreck and destroyed many lives. Let us pray and ask God that the Haitian people be not deceived by impressive people but seek a person after God’s own heart.

Scripture: 1Samuel 8:6-7
But when they said, “Give us a king to lead us,” this displeased Samuel; so he prayed to the Lord. 7 And the Lord told him: “Listen to all that the people are saying to you; it is not you they have rejected, but they have rejected me as their king.

When we look at the condition of Haiti, it is easy to look to other country’s leaders and their leadership style, their economy and structure to benchmark what Haiti and Haiti’s leader should resemble. The neighboring Dominican Republic and all of the island nations seem to be flourishing while Haiti is in disarray. Though benchmarking is important however, choosing a leader solely on those bases would be a travesty. When the children of Israel chose a king solely on what they saw other nations doing, it led them to reject God and his godly leader Samuel. I believe Haiti like every other nation is unique and should not be a carbon copy. If they turn to God and seek godly leaders, they will become a unique benchmark. Haiti was once called the “Pearl of the Antiquities” but if they turn to God as their leader and seek His face for their leaders they will become the crown jewel of the Caribbean and not a duplication of another country? Let us pray and ask the Lord to turn the hearts of the Haitian people to God and not to other nations as their benchmark.

2 Chronicles 23:11
11 Jehoiada and his sons brought out the king’s son and put the crown on him; they presented him with a copy of the covenant and proclaimed him king. They anointed him and shouted, “Long live the king!”

In the above passage we get a glimpse of the ceremony of the coronation of the king’s son. Immediately after putting the crown on his head they placed a copy of the covenant in his hand and then they anointed him and shouted “Long live the king!” Look at the progression. Though the bible does mention it, I’m sure that the order of things has its significance. First they identify and acknowledge him as king. Then they placed the word of God in his hand. We can be certain that they intended him to rule by the word of God. When you read the rest of the passage you see that repentance and a purging of the city takes place. As we pray for the next president of Haiti let us ask God that they be a person who will have the word of God as their guide. Haiti needs to go through a time of repentance and spiritual cleansing of their hearts. One candidate who will remain nameless proposes such a process. Whether he gets elected or not let us pray that God will give that person such a heart.

Exodus 18:21

21 But select capable men from all the people—men who fear God, trustworthy men who hate dishonest gain—and appoint them as officials over thousands, hundreds, fifties and tens.

Haiti has its share of problems and issues; infrastructure, health and human resources, political, economy and corruption to name a few. The one who is elected president has a myriad of problems to deal with. One of the biggest challenges they will face is who they surround themselves with. Who will serve as ministers, cabinet members? Will they be capable, will they be God fearing, will they be trustworthy, will they hate dishonest gain and can they rule over people. Haiti is embarking the rebuilding stage of the country with great opportunity for corruption on a level we’ve probably never seen before. Let us pray that the newly elected president will surround his or herself with the quality of people we read in Exodus 18:21

In the wake of the Earthquake, over 300, 000 killed, Cholera outbreak, over 400 deaths and thousands affected. Today 15 inches of rain is expected to fall on Haiti. Imagine those living in the tent cities and those with no shelter at all. More lives are at stake; Haiti is in distress. As we pray tonight, let us remember Haiti in their distress and ask the one who can calm the storms to a whisper to intervene and together with our Haitian brothers and sisters we can give thanks.

Scripture:
Luke 11:2 When you pray, say Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth. (KJV)

When Jesus taught His disciples how to pray he began with words that would have been surprising to the religious leaders of that day. "Abba" Dear Father which is equivalent to calling God "Daddy". The Jews had several names for God to avoid saying His holy name. In fact YHWH (no vowels) is the original way of saying Yahweh because the Jews would not dare fully say the name of God. But Jesus who had personal and intimate relationship with God the Father taught his disciples to address God in a personal and intimate way “Daddy” because of His great love for us. Tonight as we Pray for Haiti keep that in mind. How we have a personal and intimate relationship with God and can ask Him for anything. Haiti is now under the treat of a hurricane in the wake of the cholera out break. Let us as our Daddy to intervene.

Luke 11:1 One day Jesus was praying in a certain place. When he finished, one of his disciples said to him, “Lord, teach us to pray,

Haiti is a small country with big problems. I was talking with a friend who recently came from Haiti and he made a statement “The problems you don’t see are greater than the problems you do see in Haiti.” You could imagine how my heart sank when I heard these words. In the above passage the disciples who were intrigued with how Jesus prayed asked, “Lord, Teach us to pray…” I sense they figured that Jesus not only knew how to pray but whom to pray to and what to pray for. The disciples witnessed how Jesus had a handle on everything because when He prayed, things in the visible and invisible world came to order. I am sure this must have astounded them. The same is true for Haiti. God has a handle on Haiti, both the visible and invisible. It is up to us to approach the Lord and ask “Lord teach me how to pray for Haiti” and He will. It will just be a matter of time when we begin to see that He does have a handle on everything, both visible and invisible.

Dear Friends and Colleagues in the Faith;

Proverb 29:2 When the righteous rule, the people rejoice; when the wicked rule, the people groan.

How can we determine if a leader is righteous and worthy of our support? First is to look at their relationship with God through Jesus Christ; have they received and believed in the Lord Jesus Christ? Second, do they have a track record of decisions and a lifestyle that supports what they believe? It’s easy to proclaim your own righteousness when you are on television or being interviewed by a newspaper journalist, but how does righteousness reflect in their daily lives; in how they act, interact and react with people and in the decisions they make? What do their track record says? As we pray for the Haiti elections, pray that the people be vigilant in seeking out a righteous leader.

Scripture : Proverbs 14:34 Righteousness exalts a nation but sin is a reproach to any people.
The popular belief is, in order to make a nation successful and thriving we must stimulate the economy; create jobs, encourage trade, manufacture products etc. All of these are good however, it is not economics that exalts a nation but righteousness. The righteousness of a nation comes when we elect righteous people who will put in place righteous policies. This creates an environment for the economy to flourish. The economy is a result of the policies that are in place which is a result of the people that are in place. Tomorrow is the mid-term election in the US and on November 28th full elections in Haiti. We have an opportunity to see Proverbs 14:34 come alive and our countries flourish as we pray and vote for righteous men and women to serve in both nations.

Moses said to the LORD, 16 “May the LORD, the God of the spirits of all mankind, appoint a man over this community 17 to go out and come in before them, one who will lead them out and bring them in, so the LORD’s people will not be like sheep without a shepherd.”

Moses ask God for a leader who will be like a shepherd to lead His people. A shepherd cares for their sheep, refreshes their sheep, protects their sheep and is will to die for their sheep. How many of you know that Haiti needs a leader who cares for the people, who will protect them and will refresh them. “Someone who will go out and come in before them.” This leader can and is willing sit down with the rich as well as the poor.

Will not the Judge of all the earth do right?” 26 The LORD said, “If I find fifty righteous people in the city of Sodom, I will spare the whole place for their sake.” 27 Then Abraham spoke up again: “Now that I have been so bold as to speak to the Lord, though I am nothing but dust and ashes, 28 what if the number of the righteous is five less than fifty? Will you destroy the whole city because of five people?” “If I find forty-five there,” he said, “I will not destroy it.” 29 Once again he spoke to him, “What if only forty are found there?” He said, “For the sake of forty, I will not do it.” 30 Then he said, “May the Lord not be angry, but let me speak. What if only thirty can be found there?” He answered, “I will not do it if I find thirty there.” 31 Abraham said, “Now that I have been so bold as to speak to the Lord, what if only twenty can be found there?” He said, “For the sake of twenty, I will not destroy it.” 32 Then he said, “May the Lord not be angry, but let me speak just once more. What if only ten can be found there?” He answered, “For the sake of ten, I will not destroy it.” 33 When the LORD had finished speaking with Abraham, he left, and Abraham returned home.

Sorry for the long passage but I wanted to highlight how Abraham as he interceded for the wicked city of Sodom. Though Abraham’s nephew Lot was living in Sodom and I’m quite sure he was concerned for Lot however; Abraham was concerned for the righteous people in Sodom. If you find 50,45, 40, 30,20,10 righteous people would you destroy the place? It is easy to focus on the negative and the evil that we see and hear about Haiti. Tonight, let us lift our voices for the hundreds of thousand righteous men women and children that live in Haiti who have not bowed their knees to the god of this world. Ask the Lord to sustain them and keep them from evil.

PRAY FOR HAITI: 40 DAYS OF PRAYER DAY 10

Dear Friends and Colleagues in the Faith,

PRAY FOR HAITI: 40 DAYS OF PRAYER DAY 10

Scripture 1 Chronicles 29:12
Wealth and honor come from you; you are the ruler of all things. In your hands are strength and power to exalt and give strength to all.

There are some who aspire to become political leaders for the purpose and potential of attaining wealth while receiving honor from man (Two of mankind’s great desires). Haiti is no exception. As one of the poorest countries in the world this may seem to some as the best way out of poverty and receive honor from man. There are 68 different political parties, 900 candidates applying for 99 positions in the senate and 19 presidential candidates; all for a country of only 9 million (The population size of NYC). Though monetary gain is not the case for all who are running for political office in Haiti nevertheless; we must earnestly pray and as ask the Lord to raise into power those who know that Wealth and honor come from God the ruler of all things and not from man. Let us continue to stand together in passionate prayer for the future of Haiti and its leaders.

PRAY FOR HAITI: 40 DAYS OF PRAYER DAY 9

Dear Friends and Colleagues in the Faith,

PRAY FOR HAITI: 40 DAYS OF PRAYER DAY 9
Scripture 1 Chronicles 29:11
Yours, O LORD, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the majesty and the splendor, for everything in heaven and earth is yours. Yours, O LORD, is the kingdom; you are exalted as head over all.

In this upcoming election in Haiti many positions will be filled by men and women seeking to lead others. When authority and the responsibility to rule over others are given to an individual, their greatest challenge is to remain humble and not develop a God complex. The way to do that is to acknowledge that their position and authority was given to them by God who is the creator and ruler of all things; “for everything in heaven and earth is yours”. Tonight as we pray for Haiti, let us ask the Lord for someone like King David who acknowledged God’s greatness, power, glory and majesty; His rule over Haiti and all of the earth.

Dear Friends and Colleagues in the Faith,

PRAY FOR HAITI: 40 DAYS OF PRAYER DAY 8
Scripture 1 Chronicles 29:10
10 David praised the LORD in the presence of the whole assembly, saying, “Praise be to you, O LORD, God of our father Israel, from everlasting to everlasting.
In a day where Politian’s are encouraged to keep their faith in their personal and private life, the opposite seem to be true with David a man after God’s own heart. David had a deep personal and private relationship with God however; he was not ashamed to publicly confess or display his love for God. Let us pray and ask the Lord for a righteous man or women who has a deep and personal relationship with God and is not ashamed to proclaim it in public.

PRAY FOR HAITI: 40 DAYS OF PRAYER DAY 7

Dear Friends and Colleagues,

PRAY FOR HAITI: 40 DAYS OF PRAYER DAY 7

1Timothy 2:1 I urge, then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for everyone 2 for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness.

As we are pray for Haiti tonight, we must not forget those who are in authority. They hold the key which allows its people to live peaceful and quiet lives. Peace and security is not prevalent in Haiti right now however; when believers pray for those in authority, God has a way of getting hold of their hearts and moving it in the direction He desires; no matter who they are or whether they believe in God or not. Let us pray passionately for the leaders of Haiti.

PRAY FOR HAITI 40 DAYS OF PRAYER DAY 6

Dear Friends and Colleagues,

PRAY FOR HAITI 40 DAYS OF PRAYER DAY 6.
Psalm 143:1-2 O LORD, hear my prayer, listen to my cry for mercy; in your faithfulness and righteousness come to my relief. 2 Do not bring your servant into judgment, for no one living is righteous before you.

As we intercede on behalf of Haiti, let us elevate our hearts and our voices as we cry out to the Lord for mercy on Haiti. The Haitian people need intervention from on High. Many Haitians are asking "Lord why us?", “What next?” and “When will it end?" Over 250 people have died from the Cholera outbreak and an estimated 3000 + are infected and there's a possibility it can spread to Port Au Prince tent cities. Tonight with one voice let us cry out to God to relieve the Haitian people from their present suffering.

Psalm 55:1-2
1Give ear to my prayer, O God; and hide not thyself from my supplication. 2Attend unto me, and hear me: I mourn in my complaint, and make a noise;

Allow your heart to be broken for Haiti's condition; earthquake ravaged, tent cities, its recent cholera outbreak and the coming elections. Pray for Haiti as if you are mourning for the dead. Complain to God, plead with Him to hear your prayers as if He is not listening.

PRAY FOR HAITI 40 Days of Prayer

Dear Friends and Colleagues,

PRAY FOR HAITI 40 Days of Prayer Day 4 Scripture verse James 5:16

James 5:16: Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.

If you want forgiveness, confess your sins to God. If you want healing (especially emotional healing) confess you faults to one another and pray for each other. When you do this it makes you right with God and right with each other. Think about it; being right with God and right with man makes you righteous and when the righteous man prays fervently (especially for Haiti) his prayers availeth much; which means your prayers have much benefits, much advantage, much power and great reward. Let’s go and make it right and pray that Haiti makes it right.

Hello Friends and Colleagues in the Faith,

Hello Friends and Colleagues in the Faith,

PRAY FOR HAITI: Verse for Day 2

Jeremiah 33:3 Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and show thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.
Tonight, let's join our hearts together and call on the Lord on behalf of Haiti's election. God promises to answer us and show things we do not know. I challenged you: When the Lord reveal to you the things you did not previously know, act on it. First, by thanking Him and then doing whatever he has laid on your heart to do.
