Day Five: He is Able

2 Timothy 1:12 “I know whom I have believed…that He is able…”

   Life for Patrick of Ireland looked pretty dim. Patrick was born in
Scotland in A.D. 389 to godly Christian parents who taught him
Scripture, prayers and hymns. At age 16 Patrick was kidnapped,
taken captive by Irish pirates and sold into slavery. After six long
years, Patrick escaped and returned home. After being home for
a brief period God began to give him a deep longing to return to
Ireland and share Christ. This he eventually did and Patrick was
used by God to reach Ireland with the gospel.
   After returning to Ireland as a missionary, and following
numerous encounters with druid priests where the Lord proved
Himself victorious, Patrick began to see the fruit of His labors. He
organized churches, implemented training programs for Christians,
instituted schools for students and clergy, and wrote hymns. God
truly used Patrick for His glory to see the Irish people awakened
to the truth of Christ. Thus, because of the awakening and work
of God’s Spirit, Patrick established a Christian witness in Ireland,
planted 365 churches and won 120,000 converts to Christ. God
truly is able! Do you believe?

Prayer Points
   • Pray for Christ to set your heart through faith on His ability to
renew and revive His church
   • Pray for the church in America to unite in prayer toward awakening
