• January 24 Manah

    Gift of God

    Manah (منح) is a town (population: 7,749) and the seat of Manah district (pop. 25,320) in the Ad-Dakhiliyah region. The word Manah in Arabic means ‘gift of God’, or ‘blessing’.  The old town of Manah is one of Oman’s oldest archaeological sites and contains four mosques, 376 ancient houses, and almost 250 wells which are over nine centuries old. Al Fiqain castle, built in 1617, towers above the ancient ruins of the city, a dramatically beautiful site.

    Manah is also growing in prominence as a place for learning Arabic, as Sultan Qaboos College for Teaching Arabic to Non-Native speakers is located there. Sponsored by the Royal Court, the college aims to become one of the leaders in teaching Modern Standard Arabic to foreigners.  

    Pray for the Town and District of Manah:

    • Glory of God.  That God would be glorified and exalted and worshipped in Manah. (Habakkuk 2:14, Psalm 138:4-5)    
    • Expansion of the Kingdom.  That many people in Manah will come to know Jesus, and that communities of believers will be planted, that movements will be ignited. (Luke 1:32-33, 2 Cor 10:15-16)
    • Hearts and Minds.  That spiritual blindness and bondages will be lifted from the minds of the people in Manah, and that hearts will be stirred with hunger for Jesus and truth. (2 Cor 4:4, Luke 24:45)
    • Authority.  Pray with the authority that Jesus gives you over principalities, powers and spiritual strongholds in Manah. Pray that God would release prophetic words over the land, releasing visions, dreams, signs and wonders in Jesus’ name. (Matthew 18:18, 2 Cor 10:4)
    • Revival.  That any believers living in Manah would be awakened by the Holy Spirit, have love and passion stirred in them for the lost, and rise to meet the need in their neighborhood. (Luke 10:2, Ezekiel 37:10)
    • Provision.  That God would bring His provision and blessing to all those in need in Manah. That He would show His eternal kindness, demonstrate the blessing of His Kingdom, and cause His people to prosper. (Philippians 4:19, Jeremiah 29:7)
