Sound familiar? Jesus cleansed the temple while quoting from Isaiah 56:7 and Jeremiah 7:11. Not only were the Jews at the temple not praying for the nations, they had not reserved a place for the nations to come and pray. The court of the Gentiles, the only place in the temple Gentile proselytes were allowed to enter, was filled with the bleating of sheep and the bawling of cattle. Temple officials, greedy for money, had taken over this area for the sale of animals to be sacrificed. Is there anything in your life or in the life of your church that tends to squeeze out ministry to the nations?
Pray that the Lord will show you what may be squeezing out your commitment to seeing Him worshipped by some from every tribe, tongue and nation.
