1. God's eyes are on this nation, moulding and transforming Singapore to what she is today.
2. Early political leaders who had the foresight and tenacity to bring about the necessary changes.
3. Protection from all elements that are harmful to Singapore.
4. Peace, progress, stability and harmony in this nation.
Next, let us continue to pray for Singapore. We have been exhorted by the apostle Paul to pray for all those in authority, in order that we may live peaceable and quiet lives. At the same time, we have also been exhorted to live as responsible citizens in the land where we live.
The first thing I want you to do is pray. Pray every way you know how, for everyone you know. Pray especially for rulers and their governments to rule well so we can be quietly about our business of living simply, in humble contemplation. This is the way our Savior God wants us to live. 1 Tim 2:1-3 (MSG)
Be a good citizen. All governments are under God. Insofar as there is peace and order, it's God's order. So live responsibly as a citizen. If you're irresponsible to the state, then you're irresponsible with God, and God will hold you responsible. Duly constituted authorities are only a threat if you're trying to get by with something. Decent citizens should have nothing to fear. Rom 13:1-3 (MSG)
Let's pray the following:
- Righteousness and justice to be the foundations of the government and judiciary
- God’s wisdom on our cabinet ministers to rule well with a good head & heart
- Parliamentarians to contribute to robust debate that would help steer the nation into her God-given destiny
- Continued peace, progress, harmony and economic prosperity: different ethnic groups to co-exist and contribute to the success of S'pore
- Freedom to worship God and propagate the gospel of Christ
- Protection from all harm and danger (both physical and spiritual)
- Christians to be responsible citizens and contribute to the well-being of the nation
HAPPY NATIONAL DAY!
