The Southeastern Conference Constituency is voting today to elect a woman president of their conference in direct violation of their constitution and bylaws and the direct prohibition from the General Conference. The executive committee is a leader in the rebellion against God and the world church. Let us pray for the members of the constituency who have the power to say yes or no. There has never been a situation as dire as this in the history of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. It has happened in other denominations and the results have been divisions in them. God is not honored in such matters. He wants unity in the church, but that unity must stand on Bible truth.
Please pray for all involved in that conference and most especially for those that need wisdom to know what to say and when to say it in an effort to influence the constituency to be faithful to God and His church.
Heavenly Father, our hearts are sad as we see the rebellion in the hearts of men and women who have been entrusted with great light and leadership positions in your church. We pray for them today, that as they pray for the Holy Spirit to lead them that their hearts will be open to hear that "still small voice" that speaks in harmony with Bible truth. Thank you for the faithful ones who are standing for truth and in support of the world church. Give them an extra measure of your Spirit that they may be used of you to do your will in this matter today. This is a crisis in your church and such a crisis demands a strong response. Only you can give the wisdom, grace, and strength to do what needs to be done. We pray this in the precious name of Jesus, amen.
