About two-thirds of the people in this tiny Islamic nation are ethnic Malays. Although in theory all other religions may be practiced in peace, in practice only non-Malays are allowed to choose their faith. If a Malay converts, this ‘disturbs peace and harmony’ and they are automatically scheduled for re-education to Islam. The monitoring of Christian meetings increased in 2011. In October, the Sultan announced the introduction of an Islamic Criminal Law which will complicate the situation for the Christian minority further, especially those known to have converted.
Pray:
- That the proposed Criminal Law will not be introduced
- Religious instruction in all schools, including the six Christian schools, is in Islam. Pray for wisdom for Christian parents
- Restrictions on the importing of Christian materials make Bibles and Christian literature difficult to obtain. Pray that Christians will have access to God’s Word.
Lord God thank You for hearing and responding to my prayer. I pray for support and encouragement for the Christians in Brunei. I don’t know why it is Brunei that has attracted my attention, maybe because so little is known or publicized about it. But I want to intercede for those Christians there and do what I can to help them and to bring the light of Christ to Brunei, a nation darkened by the oppression of Islam.
Lord I pray by the authority that Christ has imputed to me as a born again believer, a command that that Islamic Criminal Law is defeated NOW, and that those who are proposing it will experience a peculiar desire to accommodate and be kind to Christians beginning NOW.
Lord I pray by the authority of Your name Jesus that Christian schools will flourish and Islamic schools will become unpopular.
Lord I pray by the authority of Your name Jesus that doors will be open, ways will be made, even supernaturally, for the importation of Bibles to Christians who are hungry for God’s word and for those who have not experienced your forgiveness and grace.
In Jesus’ mighty and more-than-overcoming name above all names, may it be Amen.
