BUSINESS ARENA SECTION ONE: The business of abortion with all its ever-increasing
tentacles is worth millions of dollars in NZ. Those reaping wealth will do all they can to keep abortion going. One of the main powers behind
abortion is Babylon. The business ‘kings’, the merchants, have “committed adultery with
her and become intoxicated with the wine of her adulteries” (Rev 17:2) She is described as, “Babylon
the Great, the mother of prostitutes and of the abominations of the earth”. (Rev 17:5) But there
is a time coming when Babylon will fall and the merchants of the earth will weep and mourn, saying, “In one hour such
great wealth has been brought to ruin!” (Rev 18:10-11,17) God urges us through Jeremiah to “surround Babylon, shoot at her, shout
against her until she surrenders as this is the vengeance of the Lord”. (Jer 50:14-15) PRAYER POINTS: v Pray for the Lord to draw businessmen and women out of the seduction of Babylon, out from the control she has established
over them in relation to abortion, out of “corrupt wisdom…dishonest trade, widespread trade filled with violence”,
every perversion in trade, and into righteousness and integrity. Pray Ps 25:21; Ps 78:72 v Silvoso regarding the “DNA first exhibited at Babel”, sees the “four-headed monster
of control, disregard for moral absolutes, self-centeredness and the exploitation of nature and people” as
being constantly present regardless of how or through whom it has been expressed. “When a group of
people has a compelling purpose, unity and communication – the same language – then nothing is impossible
for them”. Pray for God to come down and confuse their language so they will not understand each
other, to scatter them and stop them building the abortion business. (Gen 11:7-9) v Pray for the Lord to unravel all the business tentacles connected with abortion in NZ, for each one
to be cut off from the greed and wealth from abortion, and for every unholy, immoral, business partnership based on abortion
to be severed by the blood of Jesus. Those businesses which can be improved and be approved of by God to
remain; those which fail His judgment to be permanently removed from commercial endeavours in NZ. v Silvoso: “When capitalism becomes devoid of its biblical moorings, it can
turn destructive. A nation’s business practices can be characterized by three possible moral attitudes:
immorality, amorality, or morality. Immoral business practices are those that blatantly
operate against that which is part of a body of universally acceptable moral principles e.g. drug cartels, the sale of human
organs. Generally their raw moral deformity makes them repulsive. The danger looms in the area of amorality in
business. This is an attitude often found in modern Western business. Its mantra
is ‘maximise profits’. Amoral business remains unconcerned with moral principles.
The question is not ‘right or wrong’ but ‘legal or illegal’. The rule of
law takes the place of morality. Without the backbone provided by the Judeo-Christian culture, from where
it draws its ethical compass, it ends up abdicating its social responsibility. It does what is legal, but
it misuses the higher moral standard. Pray for exposure of the amoral businesses in NZ connected to abortion, conviction of consciences,
right alignment with biblical principles, resetting of their ethical compass so they operate from the higher moral standard.
Rom 2:15; 2 Cor 4:2-4, 7:10. v
Pray regarding various tentacles, e.g.: specialists
and consultants, doctors and nurses, psychologists and psychiatrists; pharmacies; Family Planning; fetal harvesting, stem
cell research; assisted reproduction; media; Law and Justice. v Announce over all those involved in abortion business: “Fallen! Fallen is Babylon the Great.
In one hour all the great wealth gained by abortion, will be brought to ruin.” (Rev 18:2,17) v Declare aloud Jeremiah 50 and 51, spending time on those phrases and verses which
God highlights to you. v
Pray for businesses “with foundations”,
in NZ, businesses “whose architect and builder is God”. Pray for God to move His most talented business people
into the gaps left as a result of His cleansing work in NZ. Pray for righteousness, justice, love and faithfulness
to the foundation of these businesses, that these business men and women will walk in the light of God’s presence.
Pray that righteousness will exalt the nation of NZ. (Ezek 28:16-18; Heb 11:10; Ps 89:14-15;
Prov 14:34) v
Exalt Jesus over NZ, especially over your city or area,
over the abortion clinics and every business associated with or benefiting financially from abortion, using Colossians 1:15-23. v Pray for Christians to operate in the power and fullness of the Holy Spirit to
bring transformation to the market place, by taking the presence and power of God where evil is entrenched
until it crumbles and becomes nothing more than a pile of rubble. |
