Introduction:

Welcome to day 22, of Bless the Nation – 50 days of prayer. We are at the beginning of week 4 and our focus for prayer will be on the sphere of education. Today’s devotional message is by well-known author and prayer warrior, Bennie Mostert of Jericho Walls, an international prayer network. Their vision is To mobilise the Body of Christ to be a house of prayer for the nations. Bennie shares with us the today the difference between a biblical worldview versus a secular worldview and the influence it has on our schools.

Devotional by Bennie Mostert:

This coming week we will pray about education. Education is one of those most important issues in our nation, actually in every nation. Right now we have a crisis in education, and that’s for several reasons. Unless we start with a Biblical worldview, we will not be able to produce society, or create society where there is law and order and people do not realise this. With a Biblical worldview we say that God created the world, we say that the world has a Father. There is a Father in heaven that created and cares for his creation. We say, with a Biblical worldview, that there is sin and that people committed sin against the Lord, and that they need forgiveness and they need to be reconciled with God, and we say that people need to submit to a moral law – they need to submit to God. The opposite side of that is the secular concept of education, or secular worldview, that is secular and humanistic, which says there is nobody that created. So, if there is nobody that created, there is no God, which means there is no moral law, because there is nobody to whom I need to give account of my life. There is no Father, so actually we are living as orphans in this world and there is no concept of sin, so whatever I want to do is fine and nobody can stop me. So we have a lot of lawlessness in our schools and we say we do not know what is the problem, because there is no moral law, there is nobody who can tell anybody to say what you are doing is wrong, because I decide what is right and what is wrong. So in the coming week, let us pray for a Biblical worldview, that the world can see God is a Father, that God cares for us, that God created us, that God wants us to be reconciled with Him.

Let us pray: Lord Jesus, we come to you and ask that we will understand that You are our eternal Father that created, and that we want to submit to You. We make a deliberate choice to submit to you and we pray Lord, for every person in this nation to be reconciled to you and to see that we ourselves cannot save ourselves and that we do not have enough intelligence and capacity to restore the world or to handle the world, because we need God that created. You are our Father and we submit to You, in Jesus name, Amen!
