30 Ways for Muslims to encounter Christ

Zakat, one of the five pillars of Islam, requires Muslims to donate a set percentage of their wealth each year to Muslim charities. The New Testament teaches Christians to give generously from the heart as opposed to a set percentage.

Pray for the people of Niger to be challenged by the contrast between a religious rule and a heart posture and to want to understand more about the “new heart” that the Bible teaches about (Ezekiel 36:26).

Intercede on Behalf of the Lost

“Yusef” had his right arm amputated as a young child, but has overcome numerous challenges and setbacks resulting from his disability. His father abandoned his family for 20 years. When Yusef accepted Christ, he was deprived of food and shelter by his mother and persecuted by his siblings and friends.

As a follower of Christ, Yusef has a heart of compassion toward his family and asks that others join him in praying for them.

  • He asks for prayer for his father who returned to his village but struggles with mental illness.
  • He asks for prayer for his mother has been suffering from stomach pain and can not find a cure.
  • He asks for prayer for his brother who is plagued by spiritual struggles.
  • He asks for prayer for his grandmothers who are fearful to accept Christ because they do not want to be dishonored in their village when they die. 

    Join Yusef in praying that each of his family members would draw near to Christ Jesus and be healed.

Liberty to the Captives

Each of us who comes to Christ must repent of and renounce every pact, promise, or identity we held before faith in Christ. Join us in praying for our brothers and sisters in Christ from a Muslim background as they repent of their former identity as Muslims. This prayer is inspired by chapter 7 and 8 of Liberty to the Captives by Mark Durie

We are called to walk in the light and live in truth:
“But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what he has done has been done through God” (John 3:21).

Pray for all Christians in Niger, particularly those from a Muslim background, to live in truth and for all of their relationships to be marked by truthfulness.

Pray for a Nigerien Believer

Pray for “Yusef” who has endured tremendous difficulties since accepting Christ. Ramadan has always been a time of intense persecution for Yusef as he has faced rejection by his friends, deprivation of food and shelter by his family, and marginalization within his village. 

Yusef states “Whatever God decides to allow to happen in my life is a blessing because I am proud to be a follower of Christ, who completely transformed my life when I chose to follow Him 6 years ago.”

Yusef asks for prayer that he would be an example of faith to lost Nigeriens as he courageously clings to Christ amid these trials. Pray that the Lord would continue to use him to proclaim the Gospel to unbelievers, disciple young followers of Christ, and lead Bible study groups in various locations.

Pray Miracles from the Bible

 â€œWhen Jesus entered the synagogue leader’s house and saw the noisy crowd and people playing pipes, he said, â€œGo away. The girl is not dead but asleep.” But they laughed at him. After the crowd had been put outside, he went in and took the girl by the hand, and she got up.” (Matthew 9:23-25)

Pray for Nigerien children who are suffering. Pray that Jesus will bring them new life!

The month of Ramadan is known as ‘the month of repentance,’ and so as we pray for a gospel movement to transform this nation, let us cry out for God’s Kingdom to come, for a spirit of repentance to fall on the peoples living in Niger, whether they are Sunnis, Shiite, Sufi, or Christians from a Muslim background; rich and poor, young and old, male and female.

Islam teaches an emotional worldview that Muslims are superior to non-Muslims. Lord, help believers in Niger shed the sins that so easily entangle them and instead put on their "new self" finding their value comes from You.

Muslims acknowledge Jesus as a prophet from God. Let their curiosity be sparked in this season for them to learn all that Jesus says about Himself. Specifically, that He is “the way, the truth, and the life” (John 14:6) so that they may acknowledge Him as Lord and Savior.

Islam teaches that deception under certain circumstances is acceptable and the effects of this teaching breeds mistrust—of God and of others. But the Bible tells us "Do not lie to each other, since you have taken off your old self with its practices and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge in the image of its Creator" (Colossians 3:9-10). Pray for people in Niger to be people who pursue truth and feel conviction about deceiving others.

Muslims and Christians use the same Arabic word for "fasting". And similar to what we learned yesterday about prayer, the meanings are fundamentally different. Muslim fasting is rigidly defined as no food, water, sex, or smoking from dawn to dusk. Christian fasting takes on many more forms. Muslim fasting is enforced (or broadly promoted) in Muslim countries during Ramadan. Jesus taught, "But when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face, that your fasting may not be seen by others but by your Father who is in secret...." (Matthew 6:16-18). Today we pray for Muslims in Niger to come across Jesus' teaching about fasting in the Sermon on the Mount and be challenged to continue to investigate His teachings.

Muslims and Christians often use the same Arabic word for "prayer". The meanings of that word, however, could not be more different. Islamic salat "prayer" describes the memorized recitations that Muslims must speak and the motions they must go through five times a day. Christian "prayer" describes two-directional conversation with God where Christians humbly approach the throne of grace with confidence to present requests and praise, they listen to God, and are thus transformed. Today we ask for Muslims in Niger to have the opportunity to be prayed for by a Christian and for them to have a divine encounter with God through it.

Muslims believe that the Quran is the perfect and final revelation of God. Christians believe that Jesus is. "He is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his nature..." (Hebrews 1:1-4). Pray for Muslims in Niger to read the Gospels and see the contrast between the exact representation of God's nature we see in Christ and what the Quran teaches.

The Islamic doctrine of abrogation means that some verses in the Quran can be "canceled out" by later verses. This is contrary to the unchanging nature of God in the Bible. "Because God wanted to make the unchanging nature of his purpose very clear to the heirs of what was promised, he confirmed it with an oath. God did this so that, by two unchangeable things in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have fled to take hold of the hope offered to us may be greatly encouraged. We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure
" (Hebrews 6:17–19) Today we pray for people in Niger to see the unchanging nature of God, that it is impossible for him to lie, and to make him the anchor for their souls.

Islam pursues political, societal, and top-down power structures. Christianity teaches bottom-up servant leadership (Luke 22:25-27). Pray for Niger to be transformed as Christians model Christian leadership principles and reject worldly power structures.

There is a hadith (teaching) in Islam that says, "Be good to your mother, Paradise is under her feet." This positive teaching is often negatively used to prevent Muslims from questioning or rejecting the religion of their parents. Today, we pray for Muslims in Niger to have courage from God to honor their parents, but not blindly follow their religion and to instead pursue Truth.

There are many teachings in Islam that advocate the use of the sword (killing) to advance their religion. The teachings of Jesus calls us to surrender to the sword (martyrdom) to advance His Kingdom.

Many Muslims when faced with difficult questions about their religion fall back on the claim that God is unknowable. In Christianity, though we cannot fathom the fullness of who God is, we do believe that God revealed Himself to us in Christ and wants to be known by us. Today we pray for Muslims in Niger to encounter God by knowing Christ.

Islam teaches that women cannot fast or pray when they are menstruating. We thank God that this is not a reality for us in Christ. Pray for women in Niger today who cannot fast because they are menstruating and will have to make up this day of fasting later in the year by themselves. Pray for their hearts to be softened to a God who welcomes them into His presence any day of the year because of Christ's blood on the cross.

Islam teaches that Muslims are born into Islam, inheriting the religion of their parents.
