PRAYER GUIDE<\/strong><\/h4>\n

ISAIAH 51:15-16 (NKJV)
\n<\/strong>^{15<\/sup>But I am<\/em> the Lord your God,
\nWho divided the sea whose waves roared\u2014
\nThe Lord of hosts is<\/em> His name.
\n16<\/sup>And I have put My words in your mouth; [Emphasis Added]
\n<\/strong>I have covered you with the shadow of My hand,
\nThat I may plant the heavens,
\n<\/strong>Lay the foundations of the earth, [Emphasis Added]
\n<\/strong>And say to Zion, \u2018You are<\/em> My people.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n}

JEREMIAH 1:9,10 (ESV)
\n<\/strong>Then the Lord put out his hand and touched my mouth. And the Lord said to me,
\n\u201cBehold, I have put my words in your mouth.
\n<\/strong>See, I have set you this day over nations and over kingdoms,
\nto pluck up and to break down,
\nto destroy and to overthrow,
\nto build and to plant.\u201d<\/p>\n

EZEKIEL 37: 3-5, 7, 9, 10
\n<\/strong>And he said to me, \u201cSon of man, can these bones live?\u201d And I answered, \u201cO Lord God, you know.\u201d Then he said to me, \u201cProphesy over these bones, and say to them, [Emphasis Added] <\/strong>O dry bones, hear the word of the Lord. Thus says the Lord God to these bones: Behold, I will cause breath to enter you, and you shall live\u2026.
\nSo I prophesied as I was commanded. And as I prophesied, there was a sound<\/strong>, [Emphasis Added] <\/strong>and behold, a rattling, and the bones came together, bone to its bone\u2026
\nThen he said to me, \u201cProphesy to the breath; prophesy, son of man, and say to the breath, [Emphasis Added] <\/strong>Thus says the Lord God: Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe on
\nthese slain, that they may live.\u201d So I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath came into<\/strong> them, [Emphasis Added] <\/strong>and they lived and stood on their feet, an exceedingly great army.<\/p>\n

MARK 11:13-14
\n<\/strong>And seeing in the distance a fig tree in leaf, he went to see if he could find anything on it. When he
\ncame to it, he found nothing but leaves, for it was not the season for figs. And he said to it,<\/strong> [Emphasis Added] \u201c<\/strong>May no one ever eat fruit from you again.\u201d And his disciples heard it. [Emphasis Added]<\/strong><\/p>\n

MARK 11:22-24
\n<\/strong>And Jesus answered them, \u201cHave faith in God. Truly, I say to you, [Emphasis Added]<\/strong> whoever says<\/strong> to this mountain, [Emphasis Added] <\/strong>Be taken up and thrown into the sea,\u2019 and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says [Emphasis Added]<\/strong> will come to pass, it will be done for him. Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask in prayer, [Emphasis Added]<\/strong> believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.<\/p>\n

GUIDING TEXT FOR THE FASTING SEASON<\/strong><\/h4>\n

ISAIAH 32:1-8<\/strong><\/p>\n

^{1<\/sup>Behold, a king will reign in righteousness,
\nAnd princes will rule with justice.
\n2<\/sup>A man will be as a hiding place from the wind,
\nAnd a cover from the tempest,
\nAs rivers of water in a dry place,
\nAs the shadow of a great rock in a weary land.
\n3<\/sup>The eyes of those who see will not be dim,
\nAnd the ears of those who hear will listen.
\n4<\/sup>Also the heart of the rash will understand knowledge,
\nAnd the tongue of the stammerers will be ready to speak plainly.
\n5<\/sup>The foolish person will no longer be called generous,
\nNor the miser said to be<\/em> bountiful;
\n6<\/sup>For the foolish person will speak foolishness,
\nAnd his heart will work iniquity:
\nTo practice ungodliness,
\nTo utter error against the Lord,
\nTo keep the hungry unsatisfied,
\nAnd he will cause the drink of the thirsty to fail.
\n7<\/sup>Also the schemes of the schemer are<\/em> evil;
\nHe devises wicked plans
\nTo destroy the poor with lying words,
\nEven when the needy speaks justice.
\n8<\/sup>But a generous man devises generous things,
\nAnd by generosity he shall stand.<\/p>\n}

It ranges from handicrafts, as can be found in cottage industries to industrial design, which is large scale. The raw materials that God created provide the foundation for all manufacturing. God is a creator and a manufacturer. He fashioned the heavens and the earth. Today science is still studying and discovering amazing things related to His creation. After creation, manufacturing is mentioned in the Bible with reference to Tubal-Cain who is called, \u201cthe forger of all instruments of bronze and iron” (Genesis 4:22). Manufacturing was key in ancient times and features prominently in the building of both the tabernacle and the temple. The first time the Holy Spirit filled anyone in the Scripture was to anoint them to work in the field of manufacturing.<\/p>\n Manufacturing is vital in the transition of countries from low income to high-income status. Growth in manufacturing, especially in manufacturing machinery and the technology that goes with it, are critical drivers of economic growth. Without this, it is difficult to sustain long-term economic growth. If Uganda and Africa are to escape poverty, there must be a firm progress in<\/strong> this direction. <\/strong>The nations that control the production of manufacturing technology are the most influential globally. They go beyond merely building factories and manufacturing goods; they make the machinery that is used in factories. They control the means of production.<\/p>\n Manufacturing and industry are also significant drivers of employment. Most jobs depend directly or indirectly on manufacturing. Data from the World Bank indicates that in 2018, the Japanese manufacturing sector contributed 21% of its Gross Domestic Product (GDP); in South Korea it contributed 27%, while in Uganda it only contributed 8%.The health of the economy is critically dependent on the health of the manufacturing industry. Uganda\u2019s manufacturing sector must grow if the economy is to grow sustainably and move the country to middle income status and beyond.<\/p>\n Though Uganda has experienced significant growth in the services sector, it is important to note that services use manufactured goods. Retail and wholesale, which make up about 11% of the economy, are simply acts of trading in manufactured goods. The same applies to telecommunications, health, hospitality, transport, pharmaceuticals, education, etc. Agro-processing, food and beverages, household products, construction materials and fast-moving consumer goods dominate Uganda\u2019s manufacturing sector. Most firms are small and medium enterprises concentrated in the Kampala and Central region. Most of the manufactured products are aimed at domestic consumption, and exports are limited to the regional markets. Exports to the developed countries on the other hand, are mainly unprocessed primary products and natural resources. This according to the Proverbs is like the man who captures an animal but cannot cook the catch. Value must be added to our raw materials and primary products in order to earn more from them.<\/p>\n  <\/p>\n SCRIPTURES FOR PRAYER AND PROCLAMATION<\/strong><\/h4>\n COLOSSIANS 1:16 \n<\/strong>For by him all things were created, <\/strong>in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones \nor dominions or rulers or authorities – all things were created through him and for him.<\/strong><\/p>\n PROVERBS 8:12, 22, 29, 30 \n<\/strong>\u201cI, wisdom, dwell with prudence, and I find knowledge and discretion\u2026. \nThe Lord possessed me at the beginning of his work,<\/strong> the first of his acts of old\u2026. \n\u2026when he assigned to the sea its limit, so that the waters might not transgress his command, when he marked out the foundations of the earth, then I was beside him, like a master workman,<\/strong> and I was daily his delight, rejoicing before him always,<\/p>\n EXODUS 28:3 \n<\/strong>You shall speak to all the skillful, whom I have filled with a spirit of skill,<\/strong> that they make Aaron’s \ngarments to consecrate him for my priesthood.<\/p>\n EXODUS 31:1-6 \n<\/strong>The LORD said to Moses, \u201cSee, I have called by name Bezalel the son of Uri, son of Hur, of the tribe \nof Judah, and I have filled him with the Spirit of God, with ability and intelligence, with \n<\/strong>knowledge and all craftsmanship, to devise artistic designs, to work in gold, silver, and bronze, \n<\/strong>in cutting stones for setting, and in carving wood, to work in every craft.<\/strong>…<\/p>\n EXODUS 35:10 \n<\/strong>\u201cLet every skillful craftsman among you come and make all that the Lord has commanded:<\/p>\n 2 CHRONICLES 2:13, 14 \n<\/strong>\u201cNow I have sent a skilled man, who has understanding,<\/strong> Huram-abi, the son of a woman of the daughters of Dan, and his father was a man of Tyre. He is trained to work in<\/strong> gold, silver, bronze, iron, stone, and wood, and in purple, blue, and crimson fabrics and fine linen, and to do all sorts of engraving and execute any design that may be assigned him, with your craftsmen, the craftsmen of my lord, David your father.<\/p>\n ISAIAH 54:16 \n<\/strong>Behold, I have created the smith<\/strong> who blows the fire of coals \nand produces a weapon for its purpose\u2026<\/p>\n PROVERBS 31:10 \n<\/strong>An excellent wife who can find? \nShe is far more precious than jewels.<\/p>\n PROVERBS 31: 13.14 \n<\/strong>She seeks wool and flax, and works with willing hands. \nShe is like the ships of the merchant; she brings her food from afar.<\/p>\n PROVERBS 31:18,19 \n<\/strong>She perceives that her merchandise is profitable. Her lamp does not go out at night. \nShe puts her hands to the distaff, and her hands hold the spindle.<\/strong><\/p>\n PROVERBS 31:21-25 \n<\/strong>She makes bed coverings for herself;<\/strong> her clothing is fine linen and purple. \nHer husband is known in the gates when he sits among the elders of the land. \nShe makes linen garments and sells them; she delivers sashes to the merchant. \n<\/strong>Strength and dignity are her clothing, and she laughs at the time to come.<\/p>\n PROVERBS 12:27 \n<\/strong>Lazy people don\u2019t even cook the game they catch, but the diligent make use of everything they find.<\/p>\n WORSHIP JEHOVAH ELOHIM, GOD THE MAKER OF HEAVEN AND EARTH:<\/strong><\/h4>\n PSALM 19:1 \n<\/strong>The heavens declare the glory of God, \nand the sky above proclaims his handiwork.<\/strong><\/p>\n EPHESIANS 2:10 \n<\/strong>For we are his workmanship,<\/strong> created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared \nbeforehand, that we should walk in them.<\/p>\n \n He gives ideas and anoints with skill<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n THANK GOD FOR:<\/strong><\/h4>\n \n The leaders in manufacturing and industry<\/li>\n The progress Uganda has made in manufacturing and industry over the decades. Many goods that used to be imported are now domestically produced e.g. soap, oil, cosmetics, packed milk, flours, etc.<\/li>\n The increase in electricity supply that has supported the growth in this sector.<\/li>\n Both the domestic and foreign investors who have invested in this sector.<\/li>\n The infrastructure e.g. roads and air transport that has supported the export of manufactured goods into the region.<\/li>\n The innovative spirit amongst the manufacturers who switched production to manufacturing of masks, face shields, touch free hand washing equipment and hand-sanitizers when COVID 10 struck. Thank God also for the employment opportunities arising from these initiatives.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n  <\/p>\n PROCLAMATION FOR <\/strong>MANUFACTURING & INDUSTRY<\/strong><\/h4>\n God is raising leaders in manufacturing and industry who will lead in righteous and justice. Some will arise to become large scale industrialists but many will ran small scale manufacturing units through cottage industries in their homes and villages. There will be a breaking forth of new creativity and innovation that will translate into manufacturing and industry.<\/em><\/p>\n Many Ugandans will move to engage in the manufacturing sector and the profits made shall remain in the country.<\/em><\/p>\n Cooperatives will be revived and scaled up to manufacturing.<\/em><\/p>\n Electricity will be put to good use all across the country and there will be arrangements to ensure \n<\/em>ample surplus of cheap electricity for the many factories that will arise.<\/em><\/p>\n Savings from SACCOS and Microfinance institutions will support manufacturers and cottage \n<\/em>industries.<\/em><\/p>\n There will be adequate supply of long term financing for the larger industrial initiatives<\/em><\/p>\n As a result of refocusing, concerted efforts made in the education sector will result in a large pool of human resources for the manufacturing sector.<\/em><\/p>\n The required higher-technical and managerial skills will be built through training programs and \n<\/em>schools that meet the needs of the sector.<\/em><\/p>\n Well-facilitated industrial parks will be built and will have many indigenously owned industries.<\/em><\/p>\n The mining sector will be leveraged to support the manufacturing sector with the \n<\/em>abundantly available raw materials.<\/em><\/p>\n Policies that promote local manufacturing and discourage importation will be fully enacted \n<\/em>and enforced.<\/em><\/p>\n Uganda\u2019s agricultural potential will feed into agro-processing for primary product value addition. There will be both light and heavy industries to utilizing locally available raw materials like iron ore to make machinery.<\/em><\/p>\n As a result Uganda will become an industrial hub and our fast growing population will be fully absorbed into the labour force.<\/em><\/p>\n AMEN<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n  <\/p>\n \n\n \n \n \n <\/div>\n \n Day 19 Prayer Guide: Manufacturing & Industry<\/a><\/h3>\n <\/i> 1 file(s) <\/i> 280.79 KB<\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n Download<\/a>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/p>\n  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" SUNDAY, 6TH SEPTEMBER 2020: MANUFACTURING & INDUSTRY PRAYER GUIDE ISAIAH 51:15-16 (NKJV) 15But I am the Lord your God, Who divided the sea whose waves roared\u2014 The Lord of hosts […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":101011,"featured_media":2007,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1,163],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2113","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-latest-posts","category-prayer-guide-2020"],"yoast_head":"\n
