Celebrating

Today is Koriteh in The Gambia, a day celebrating the end of the month of fasting. As I heard the call to prayer last night marking the breaking of the fast I let out a sigh of relief and many prayers for the lost around me.

After 30 long and hungry days, Ramadan has come to an end And it’s time for Muslims around the world to celebrate.   Eid al-Fitr — “The Celebration of the Breaking of the Fast” — is a time of: feasting family visits gift-giving   As Muslims celebrate food and family, most remain unaware of the seat Jesus has prepared at an even greater feast.  If they believe in Him and accept His free invitation, they can one day pull up a chair to the greatest feast and celebration of ALL time:the marriage supper of the Lamb! (Rev. 19:6-9)   Today, we end Ramadan by asking God for one thing: may Muslims turn to Christ and join us at THAT table.   Let’s unite our voices one last time and commit every prayer that has been prayed this month to the only One who can answer.   “In Jesus’ powerful name, AMEN!”
