Praying for the end of slavery
“In days to come, when your son asks
you, ‘What does this mean?’ say to him, ‘With a mighty hand the Lord brought us out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery” (Exodus 13:14)
Pray for an end of contemporary slavery.
Pray
for the end of the theft of the dignity and freedom of men and
women working illegally in
agriculture, orange groves, in
the cane fields, in the extraction of latex, in charcoal production and mining.
There
are no exact statistics on the number of workers from slavery in
Brazil, but there are around 25 000 and 40 000 people working in
these circumstances living under
threat.
Let
us pray that after the liberation from slavery, these workers find their place
in society and in the job market
with the right to equality and justice.

God promised the Israelites that would fight for them, but they were required to move forward by faith toward the sea, see Exodus 14:15. God fights for His people as they walk in faith and obedience to His Word, see Exodus 15:3; Nehemiah 4:20, Psalm 35.1. If human beings do not have a real encounter with Jesus Christ, don´t repent of their sins and don´t abandon them, there will be no change in their lives. They will continue slaves of men and sin.
