PRAYER ALERT from PRAYER UNITED:

Although official results are not fully in, partly because some SPR officers are delaying signing off on the results, Pakatan Harapan & its Sabah ally, Warisan, has won an overwhelming electoral victory in GE14. Can we urge all of us to get our networks to really pray through the next 24 hours for the following:

1. First, that all those in authority will act responsibly to accept the results of the election and help work towards a smooth transition in the government; and that all hanky-panky attempts to change any results will be stopped or hindered from being effective.

2. ​Second, please pray that the Lord who is sovereign over our nation will pour His SHALOM, His peace, upon our land. Pray that the fear of God will envelop the whole nation so that evil men or women, as well as demonic powers that seeks to bring civil disorder and violence will be restrained. Remember Eph 6:12.

3. Pray that everyone, Christians included, will be responsible and sensitive so as not to provoke those who have been identified with BN. We should therefore avoid sending out offensive and provocative messages, photos and videos, or anything else that may be inflammatory in the present political context.

There will be other things that the Lord will lay in your hearts to pray for. But do activate your networks and urge them to take our responsibility to pray for the nation's welfare seriously. We must, as Paul reminds us, "Pray without ceasing!" (1 Thess 5:17)
