十一月份祈禱的要點
November prayer points
 November Focus: Dhofar Region Rains of Refreshing Dhofar (pop. 416,458) is the southernmost governorate in Oman, bordering Yemen. The name Dhofar (ظفار) comes from the Arabic root meaning nail or claw, but also victory and success. The capital, Salalah, is Oman's 2nd largest city, and traditionally had been the home of the Sultan until modern days. Dhofar is also home to the frankincense tree, whose sap is harvested and dried into crystals to be burned as incense. It was once under the biblical Kingdom of Sheba, part of the ancient, lucrative Frankincense Trail. The region is geographically isolated from the rest of Oman, and has at times tried to gain its independence. It also is home to various languages and people groups, including Jebali (mountain people), Mahri, Bathari, and Hobyot. The region is blessed by cooling summer rains ('khareef') and hundreds of thousands of tourists descend on the area to find relief from the searing Gulf heat. “You heavens above, rain down My righteousness; let the clouds shower it down. Let the earth open wide, let salvation spring up, let righteousness flourish with it; I, the Lord, have created it.” (Isaiah 45:8) We bless the people of Dhofar to receive God’s reign, and may salvation and righteousness spring up!

清爽甘霖
佐法爾（https://maps.app.goo.gl/bJ6tAdMg3vNkMco16）（人口416,458）是阿曼最南端的行政省份，與也門接壤。佐法爾（ظفار）這個名字來自阿拉伯語詞根，意思是釘子或爪子，但也意味著勝利和成功。首府塞拉萊是阿曼第二大城市，傳統上直到現代一直是蘇丹的家鄉。佐法爾也是乳香樹的故鄉，乳香樹的汁液被採集並曬乾成晶體，然後作為熏香燃燒。它曾處於聖經中的示巴王國的統治之下，是古老而利潤豐厚的乳香之路的一部分。該地區在地理上與阿曼其他地區隔絕，時而試圖獨立。這裡也是各種語言和民族的發源地，包括傑巴里人（山地人）、邁赫拉人、巴薩拉人和霍比奧特人。
該行政區在夏天有得天獨厚的涼爽降雨（「khareef」），成千上萬的遊客來到該地區以擺脫海灣地區的熾熱酷暑。「諸天哪，自上而滴，穹蒼降下公義，地面開裂，產出救恩，使公義一同發生，這都是我耶和華所造的。」（以賽亞書45：8）我們祝福佐法爾人民接受神的統治，願救恩和公義湧現！
l 雖然多年來塞拉萊的收割工人數量一直穩定，但似乎人員流動很大。禱告他們長久工作、建立關係並有機會深入分享。 l 禱告網路媒體深入該行政區的山區和沙漠。特別禱告以傑巴里人、邁赫拉人、霍比奧特人和巴薩拉人最能理解的方式向他們傳播資訊。 與我們一同敬拜吧！《恩典降下》（https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0gw0zVoLf0A），Leeland。耶穌，請將你的清爽甘霖賜給阿曼！ 馬太福音18：14重點-「你們在天上的父也是這樣，不願意這小子裡失喪一個。」

 Dhofar People Groups, Part 1 The Jibbali The Jibbali or Shahri people inhabit the mountains of Dhofar and number approximately 50,000. 'Jibbali' is the Arabic descriptor of the people ('of the mountain'), while 'Shahri' has the same meaning ('of the mountain') in their own language. Samples of the Shahri language can be found here. There are approximately 25,000 speakers of Jibbali/Shahri. Also known as the Al Qara tribes, these peoples are traditionally nomadic herders of cattle and camels, seasonally migrating between the plains and the mountains. Some sources delineate the Al-Shahra tribes as a subset of the Jibbali, and perhaps were the original inhabitants of the mountains before the Al-Qara tribes immigrated from Yemen 500-700 years ago. God, we pray for the Jibbali/Shahri people in Dhofar, that they would:

傑巴里人
傑巴里人或沙赫里人居住在佐法爾山區，人數約為50,000人。「傑巴里」是阿拉伯語中對這群人的描述（「山裡的」），而「沙赫里」在他們自己的語言中也有同樣的含義（「山上的」）。沙赫里語（https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shehri_language）的例子可以在這裡看到（https://www.al-fanarmedia.org/2019/02/ancient-cousins-of-arabic-survive-in-oman-but-for-how-long-2/）。傑巴里/沙赫里語的使用者約有25,000人。
這些民族也被稱為卡拉部落，傳統上是放牧牛群和駱駝的遊牧民族，季節性地在平原和山區之間遷徙。一些起源將沙赫拉部落描述為傑巴里的一個分支，也許是在500-700年前卡拉部落從也門遷入之前，沙赫拉部落就是山區的原住民。
神啊，我們為佐法爾的傑巴里人或沙赫里人禱告，願他們：
l 前來敬拜你。詩篇86：9-「主啊，你所造的萬民（族）都要來敬拜你，他們也要榮耀你的名。」 l 看見你的榮耀。以賽亞書66：18-「我知道他們的行為和他們的意念。時候將到，我必將萬民萬族聚來，看見我的榮耀。」 l 用他們的心語清晰地聽到福音。馬太福音24：14-「這天國的福音要傳遍天下，對萬民作見證，然後末期才來到。」 l 成為門徒和順服的跟隨者。馬太福音28：19–「所以，你們要去，使萬民（族）作我的門徒，奉父、子、聖靈的名給他們施洗。」 l 以敬拜和代求為標誌。馬可福音11：17–便教訓他們說：「經上不是記著說『我的殿必稱為萬國禱告的殿』嗎？」（以賽亞書56：7） l 悔改並得到饒恕。路加福音24：47–「並且人要奉他的名傳悔改、赦罪的道，從耶路撒冷起直傳到萬邦（族）。」 l 被聖靈充滿。使徒行傳2：17–「神說，在末後的日子，我要將我的靈澆灌凡有血氣的。」

 Salalah Salalah (Arabic: صَلَالَة, pop. 293,962) is the capital and largest town of Dhofar Region, and seat of Salalah district (pop. 331,949). It is the 2nd largest metropolitan area in Oman, and previously was the seat of government under Sultan Said, Qaboos’s father from 1932-1970. When Qaboos became Sultan in 1970, he moved his capital to Muscat. Salalah reached the peak of prosperity in the 13th century thanks to the incense trade. Later it decayed, and in the 19th century it was absorbed by the Sultanate of Muscat. Today it is a modern city, and in the summer months its population swells with tourists for the cool weather. There is an international airport here, as well as a large port and logistics center. Salalah means 'shining one' in Jebali, and its Arabic spelling is related to the root word for prayer. May Salalah be filled with believers shining the Light! ‘For God, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.’ (2 Corinthians 4:6) Pray for the Town and District of Salalah:

塞拉萊（https://goo.gl/maps/ab6eAwsJPz9AovkL6）（阿拉伯語：صَلَالَة，人口293,962）是佐法爾行政區的首府和最大城鎮，也是塞拉萊區（人口331,949）的中心地帶。它是阿曼第二大都市區，曾是蘇丹賽義德的政府所在地，他是卡布斯的父親，在位時間1932年至1970年。1970年卡布斯成為蘇丹後，將首都遷至馬斯喀特。
塞拉萊在13世紀因香料貿易而達到繁榮的頂峰。後來它衰落了，並在19世紀被馬斯喀特蘇丹國吞併。如今，它已是一座現代化城市，夏季涼爽的天氣讓這裡人滿為患。這裡有一個國際機場，以及一個大型港口和物流中心。
塞拉萊在傑巴厘語中意為「閃耀者」，其阿拉伯語拼寫與「禱告」的詞根有關。願塞拉萊充滿散發光明的信徒！
「那吩咐光從黑暗裡照出來的神，已經照在我們心裡，叫我們得知神榮耀的光顯在耶穌基督的面上。」（哥林多後書4：6）
為塞拉萊的城鎮和轄區禱告：
l 神的榮耀。神將在塞拉萊得榮耀，尊崇和敬拜。（哈巴谷書2：14；詩篇138：4-5） l 神國的擴展。塞拉萊的許多人將會認識耶穌，信徒群體將會扎根，激起植堂運動。（路加福音1：32-33；哥林多後書10：15-16） l 心靈與頭腦。在塞拉萊人民的頭腦中，屬靈的盲目和束縛將被破除，他們的心靈將萌發對耶穌和真理的渴慕。（哥林多後書4：4，路加福音24：45） l 權柄。用耶穌給你的權柄禱告，這權柄勝過塞拉萊的公國統治權、權勢和屬靈的營壘。求神奉耶穌的名在地 上賜下先知的話語，賜下異象、異夢、神蹟和奇事。（馬太福音18：18，哥林多後書10：4） l 復興。願任何生活在塞拉萊的信徒都能被聖靈喚醒，對失喪之人的愛和熱心在他們裡面被激發，並起來滿足他們鄰舍的需要。（路加福音10：2，以西結書37：10） l 供應。願神將祂的供應和福氣帶給塞拉萊所有有需要的人。祂要顯示祂永遠的慈愛，顯明祂國度的賜福，使祂的百姓興旺。（腓立比書4：19，耶利米書29：7） 與我們一同敬拜吧！《照耀我們》（https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lmt4KVS-_Bo），William Matthews。耶穌，你將你的榮耀照耀在我們身上！ 馬太福音18：14重點-「你們在天上的父也是這樣，不願意這小子裡失喪一個。」

They are found in a rugged coastal area about 300 km northeast of Salalah, and traditionally were fisherman, especially known for catching shark and turtles. They were the lowest of status in the traditional Dhofari tribal structure, with very harsh living conditions. Since 1970, they have rapidly integrated into Omani society and become more 'Arabized'.

巴薩拉人
巴薩拉人是一 個約有200人的小部落，其中只有不到20人使用巴薩拉語（https://www.thenationalnews.com/uae/race-is-on-to-preserve-an-omani-language-spoken-by-17-people-1.957065）。他們的語言也是與邁赫拉人關係密切。他們居住在塞拉萊東北約300公里的崎嶇沿海地區，傳統上是漁民，尤其以捕撈鯊魚和海龜而聞名。他們是傳統佐法爾部落架構中地位最低的，生活條件非常惡劣。自1970年以來，他們迅速融入阿曼社會，變得更加「阿拉伯化」。

 Khareef Season Monsoon Rains Khareef (Arabic: خَرِيْف, literally meaning ‘autumn’) is the term used in southern Oman, southeastern Yemen, southwestern Saudi Arabia and Sudan for the southeastern monsoon. The monsoon affects this area from late June to early September. Warm humid air blowing onshore from the central Arabian Sea passes over cooler water and is chilled until fog and precipitation condense, bringing near constant rain and mist. This leads to a unique ecological habitat along the coast known as the Arabian Peninsula coastal fog desert. Towns in the region such as Salalah depend upon the khareef for their water supply. Moreover, the region depends the monsoons economically. Every year, hundreds of thousands of tourist swarm from all over the Arab Gulf descend upon Salalah to enjoy the cool, wet weather. Last year, some 813,000 tourists visited the Dhofar region. An annual Khareef festival is held in Salalah, which celebrates Omani culture, dance and music, food, and handcrafts. But the biggest attraction is nature itself, with picnicking and water activities being the prime draw. “So let us know, let us strive to know the Lord. Like the dawn, His going forth is certain. He will come to us like the rain, like the latter rain watering the earth.” (Hosea 6:3) Jesus, may the people of Salalah passionately pursue knowing You! And we know that You will respond, as certain as the sunrise every morning, and as certain as the Khareef rains in the summer. Come to Your people, O God!

季風雨
哈里夫（阿拉伯語：خَرِيْف，字面意思是「秋天」）是阿曼南部、也門東南部、沙特阿拉伯西南部和蘇丹對東南季風的稱呼。季風從6月下旬到9月上旬影響這一地區。從阿拉伯海中部吹向海岸的暖濕空氣經過較冷的水域，冷卻直到形成霧氣和降水凝結，帶來幾乎持續不斷的降雨和薄霧。這導致沿海地區形成了一個獨特的生態棲息地，被稱為阿拉伯半島沿海霧沙漠。
該地區的城鎮（如塞拉萊）依賴季風雨水源。此外，該地區的經濟也依賴於季風雨。每年，來自阿拉伯海灣各地的成千上萬的遊客蜂擁而至塞拉萊，享受涼爽潮濕的天氣。去年，約有813,000名遊客訪問了佐法爾行政區。塞拉萊每年都會舉辦哈里夫節，以慶祝阿曼的文化、舞蹈和音樂、美食和手工藝品。但最大的吸引力還是大自然本身，野餐和水上活動是主要吸引力。
「我們務要認識耶和華，竭力追求認識祂；祂出現確如晨光，祂必臨到我們像甘雨，像滋潤田地的春雨。」（何西阿書6：3）
耶穌，願塞拉萊人民熱切地追求認識你！我們知道你會回應，就像每天早晨的日出一樣確定，就像夏天的季風雨一樣確定。神啊 ，來到你的人民中間吧！ 與我們一同敬拜吧！《下雨吧》（https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ma0ObEm4YFQ），James River Worship。耶穌，願你像雨一樣降臨在阿曼！ 馬太福音18：14重點-「你們在天上的父也是這樣，不願意這小子裡失喪一個。」

 Sheba, Part 1 Wealth, Worship and Witness Will Come to the House of the Lord And all from Sheba will come, bearing gold and incense, and proclaiming the praise of the Lord. (Isaiah 60:6b). There are records of Sheba as a kingdom in Southern Arabia from 1000 BC. At the zenith of its power, it included parts of the modern day Dhofar region of Oman, Yemen, and southern Saudi Arabia (including Najran, Jizan, and Asir). Sheba was famous for trade in gold, jewels, and spices, but it was best known for producing the finest quality frankincense widely used in the ancient world. Through its dominance of frankincense trade routes, Sheba’s influence extended far north to the Holy Land and beyond. In Isaiah 60, the nation of Sheba is mentioned as bringing gifts and worship to the Lord in Jerusalem. The Queen of Sheba already led the way some 250 years before Isaiah’s time. She and her great caravans set out on a more than three-month journey (one-way!) to investigate the fame of Solomon personally and to know more about his relationship with the Lord. There was something she had heard, probably from traders returning from the north, which convinced her to leave her kingdom, face desert dangers and hardships, and seek the wisdom of King Solomon. Her camels were thus laden with large quantities of spices, gold, and precious stones, all as an offering for the king. She had questions, and Solomon was the one to answer them. At the end of her visit, the Queen of Sheba said to Solomon, I did not believe what they said until I came and saw with my own eyes. Indeed, not even half the greatness of your wisdom was told to me; you have far exceeded the report I heard (2 Chronicles 9:6). In time, she returned to Sheba having her questions answered and with a new respect for the God of Israel. Jesus also honors the Queen of Sheba when He says: The Queen of the South will rise at the judgment with this generation and condemn it; for she came from the ends of the earth to listen to Solomon’s wisdom, and now something greater than Solomon is here (Matthew 12:42). Jesus says she is from the “south” and “the ends of the earth”—a good description of southern Arabia. Isaiah 60:6 describes the amazing visit of the nation of Sheba to Jerusalem in the end times. Again, there will be many camels, bearing gold and incense—just like the Queen of Sheba, but this time it seems they will know the Lord God. Yet in today’s Sheba (southern Oman, Yemen, and southern Saudi Arabia), there are many tribes that still need to know the Lord, so that they are ready in the future to bring their abundant gifts to Him.

財富、敬拜和見證將來到主的殿堂
示巴的眾人都必來到；要奉上黃金乳香，又要傳說耶和華的讚美。（以賽亞書60：6下）
有記錄顯示，示巴王國在公元前1000年就已經位於阿拉伯南部。在其鼎盛時期，其領土包括阿曼、也門和沙特阿拉伯南部的部分地區（包括納季蘭、吉贊和阿西爾）。示巴以黃金、珠寶和香料貿易而聞名，但最出名的是其出產的乳香品質上乘，在古代世界廣為使用。通過主導乳香貿易路線，示巴的影響力遠至北方聖地甚至更遠的地方。
在以賽亞 書第60章中提到示巴民族到耶路撒冷為神帶來禮物和敬拜。示巴女王早在以賽亞時代之前250年就已率先行動。她和她的大商隊踏上了三個多月的旅程（單程就要這麼久！），親自查究所羅門的名望，並進一步了解他與神的關係。她聽到了一些事情，可能是從北方回來的商人那裡聽說的，這讓她決定離開自己的王國，克服沙漠的危險和艱辛，尋求所羅門王的智慧。因此，她的駱駝馱著大量香料、黃金和寶石，所有這些都是獻給國王的禮物。她有問題，而所羅門就是回答這些問題的人。
示巴女王在訪問結束時對所羅門說：「我先不信那些話，及至我來親眼見了，才知道你的大智慧，人所告訴我的，還不到一半；你的實跡，越過我所聽見的名聲。」（歷代志下9：6）後來，她回到示巴，她的疑問得到了解答，對以色列的神產生了新的敬意。
耶穌也對示巴女王表示敬意，祂說：「當審判的時候，南方的女王要起來定這世代的罪，因為她從地極而來，要聽所羅門的智慧話。看哪，在這裡有一人比所羅門更大。」（馬太福音12：42）耶穌說她來自「南方」和「地極」-這是對阿拉伯南部的恰當描述。
以賽亞書60：6描述了示巴民族在末世對耶路撒冷的令人驚歎的來訪。這一次，將有許多駱駝，馱著黃金和熏香-就像示巴女王一樣，但這一次他們似乎會認識耶和華神。然而在今天的示巴（阿曼南部、也門和沙特阿拉伯南部），仍有許多部落需要認識主，以便他們準備好在未來將豐盛的禮物帶給祂。
l 示巴女王在拜訪所羅門時想要更多地認識耶和華。禱告示巴民族今天更加渴望認識耶和華。我們知道示巴將擁有美好的未來，為耶穌帶來許多美好事物；禱告他們今天做好準備成為祂敬拜團隊的一員。 l 正如耶穌所說，南方女王（示巴）不遠萬里前來聆聽所羅門的智慧（馬太福音12：42），但比所羅門更偉大的人已經到來，那就是彌賽亞。讓我們禱告，願當今阿曼、也門和沙特阿拉伯的示巴人民睜開雙眼，認識到比所羅門更偉大的人就在這裡-耶穌，萬王之王，和平之君，世人的救主。願他們明白祂是誰並敬拜祂。 l 以賽亞書第60章預言，阿拉伯半島將有一群敬拜者前來。他們的隊伍將攜帶財寶、熏香、敬拜和讚美神的美好見證。禱告示巴人民將帶著財富而來，見證對神的讚美，敬拜祂，並喜樂地歌唱。禱告神的應許今天就實現，禱告今天將成為敬拜隊伍和奉獻的開始，並將繼續增加，直到完全實現。 與我們一同敬拜吧！《基督是我們的財寶》（https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u64fYmmB9Q4），Sovereign Grace Music。耶穌，你是我們的財寶！ 馬太福音18：14重點-「你們在天上的父也是這樣，不願意這小子裡失喪一個。」

 Sheba, Part 2 An Ancient People of South Arabia Abraham had taken another wife, whose name was Keturah. She bore him Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak and Shuah. Jokshan was the father of Sheba and Dedan. (Genesis 25:1-3a). Sheba is the grandson of Abraham and Keturah, his third wife. In Isaiah 60, all the nations listed in verses 6 and 7 are direct descendants of Abraham, so it is likely that this is the Sheba referred to. Sheba is a Hebrew name, which is Seba’ or Saba’ in Arabic (سبأ), so the people of Sheba are referred to as Sabeans. Although some scholars suppose that the Queen of Sheba is from Ethiopia, there is a strong basis for locating Sheba in Southern Arabia. The remains of the palace of the Queen of Sheba may be at an archaeological site in Marib, Yemen, which is thought to be the capital of Sheba. One of the best-preserved buildings in the ruins, the Bar’an Temple (also known as the Throne of Bilqis), may be an ancient palace. Sumharam at Khor Ruri in southern Oman, now a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is supposedly the summer palace of the Queen of Sheba. It is possible that Yemen, Eritrea, and Ethiopia at one time may have been joined by one ruling power or kingdom; therefore, the kingdom of Sheba may have spanned the Red Sea. Nonetheless, the oldest writings of Sabaean [Sheba] language on rocks comes from Yemen, not Ethiopia. And potsherds in Jerusalem have been found with Sabaen writing dating back to the time of Solomon. The Sheba of Isaiah also seems linked closely with Oman, Yemen, and Saudi because the other four nations from Isaiah 60 are in the Arabian Peninsula. Day 2 – Prayer Points

南阿拉伯的一個古老民族
亞伯拉罕又娶了一妻，名叫基土拉。基土拉給他生了心蘭、約珊、米但、米甸、伊施巴和書亞。約珊生了示巴和底但。（創世記25：1-3上）
示巴是亞伯拉罕和他的第三任妻子基土拉的孫子。在以賽亞書第60章中，第6和7節列出的所有國家都是亞伯拉罕的直系後裔，因此很可能這就是指代示巴。示巴是一個希伯來名字，在阿拉伯語中為Seba'或Saba'（سبأ），因此示巴人被稱為Sabeans（拜星教徒-古蘭經2：62；5：69；22：17）。
雖然有些學者認為示巴女王來自埃塞俄比亞，但有充分的證據表明示巴位於阿拉伯南部。示巴女王宮殿的遺跡可能位於也門馬里卜的一處考古遺址，該遺址被認為是示巴的首都。遺址中保存最完好的建築之一，巴安神廟（也稱為比爾基斯王座），可能就是古代宮殿。阿曼南部科爾羅里的蘇姆哈蘭，現已被列為聯合國教科文組織世界遺產保護區，據說是示巴女王的夏日行宮。也門、厄立特里亞和埃塞俄比亞可能曾一度被一個統治政權或王國聯合起來；因此，示巴王國可能橫跨紅海。盡管如此，刻在岩石上的最古老的示巴語文字來自也門，而不是埃塞俄比亞。耶路撒冷的陶瓷碎片上發現了可追溯到所羅門時代的示巴文字。以賽亞書中的示巴似乎也與阿曼、也門和沙特有著密切的聯繫，因為以賽亞書第60章中的其他四個國家都位於阿拉伯半島。
第2天-禱告要點
l 讓我們為神對示巴後裔的偉大旨意來禱告。他們作為亞伯拉罕的後裔被賜福。讓我們禱告他們能夠成為亞伯拉罕應許的繼承人，通過你的後裔，地上萬國都將因信耶穌而被賜福（創世記22：18）。願示巴人民在耶穌身上實現完整的人生目的。 l 禱告就像五旬節時在耶路撒冷聽到福音的阿拉伯人（使徒行傳2：11）一樣，這些後裔現在可以聽到福音，成為耶穌的跟隨者，並嫁接到以色列信仰的樹上（羅馬書11：17-18），成為基督的新造物（以弗所書2：13-15）。讓我們禱告這一切都將發生，因為他們從禾場的信徒那裡、通過耶穌的異夢和異象以及通過互聯網上的聖經材料聽到福音。 l 禱告主在我們這個時代開始興起和倍增祂的新信徒。願祂吸引信徒將他們最好的東西獻給祂：他們的財富、他們的敬拜和讚美，以及他們口中的榮耀祂的見證。願這見證也吸 引其他人歸向耶穌。願他們在神面前下拜並侍奉祂（詩篇72：11）。願他們宣揚耶穌的名，從阿曼開始，穿過也門和沙特南部，他們的口中充滿對神的感謝和讚美。 l 「看哪，我要作一件新事，如今要發現，你們豈不知道嗎？我必在曠野開道路，在沙漠開江河。」（以賽亞書43：19）阿拉伯半島當地人口中發展最快的教會在也門。神正在那裡為耶穌的跟隨者做一些事情。為也門信耶穌的人數增加禱告。 l 禱告示巴人民-居住在阿曼、也門和沙特阿拉伯南部的穆斯林-認識到耶穌不僅僅是一位先知（馬太福音12：42）。願他們意識到比穆罕默德更偉大的人就在這裡，祂正在呼召他們。願他們尋求祂並被祂找到。願他們把最好的東西、財富和敬拜獻給祂。願這些新信徒成為向他們的國家宣揚祂的見證人。願他們的偉大覺醒影響整個阿拉伯半島和中東及北非地區，讓一道偉大的光芒從示巴照耀到穆斯林世界的其他地區。 與我們一同敬拜吧！《亞伯拉罕的神》（https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WrUg3S-c6Ao），Vertical Worship。耶穌，你世世代代都信實不渝！ 馬太福音18：14重點-「你們在天上的父也是這樣，不願意這小子裡失喪一個。」

 Sheba, Part 3 Frankincense A multitude of camels shall cover you, the young camels of Midian and Ephah; all those from Sheba shall come. They shall bring gold and frankincense, and shall bring good news, the praises of the Lord (Isaiah 60:6 NRSVA). Frankincense is first mentioned in the Bible in Exodus 30:34. As Israel camped before Mount Sinai, God instructed Moses regarding the way He was to be worshiped. Frankincense was to be one of the ingredients of the incense to be offered before the Lord. The Lord said, “It shall be most holy for you” (Exodus 30:36). It helped fill the tabernacle with amazing smells, a pleasing aroma to the Lord. The fabric of the tabernacle tents must have smelled of this incense. Only "pure frankincense," of the highest quality, was to be offered to the Most High God and, throughout antiquity, it was exported from Southern Arabia. The best of this frankincense comes from the desert plateau that borders the mountains along the coast of the Dhofar region of present-day southern Oman. This area would have been part of the Kingdom of Sheba found in Isaiah 60:6. The historic Frankincense Trail stretched from this area all the way through present-day Yemen and into the vast desert of present-day Saudi Arabia. It then headed north, to kingdoms bordering the Mediterranean Sea, and from there to the rest of the known world. Frankincense is still used today by many people in the Arabian Peninsula, especially by Yemenis and Omanis. A Yemeni believer in Jesus reflects on frankincense: My name is Bilqis. I am named after the Queen of Sheba. We use incense containing frankincense in our homes, but good quality frankincense is very expensive now. As a child, my mother would burn incense in the house when neighbors and friends came over. This fragrance is so important to us. Some of the ladies would stand around the incense burner and allow the smoke to mix into their clothes, so that the scent would linger on them for a long time. “May my prayer be set before you like incense” (Psalm 141:2). For me, this Scripture comes alive, and I think about praying for my family, friends, and neighbors. Also, may I be like incense before them, may I be a sweet smell of the Lord Jesus. My family (which is mostly Muslim) uses frankincense, and lots of people we know use frankincense on the weekends, especially in ways related to the mosque. Men will use frankincense before going to the mosque. Some mosques will also burn incense. Now, in our Yemeni fellowship of Jesus followers, we will burn incense as we worship together, and it fills the air with this traditional aroma. I now believe that the golden bowls of Revelation 5:8 that are burning incense along with the prayers of the saints have Yemeni frankincense in them. Our prayers are joined with other saints. In a coming future’s glorious day, the “pure frankincense” previously offered to the Lord in His tabernacle will be offered to the Lord Jesus Christ as He reigns in Jerusalem. By this gift, the people of Sheba will affirm the deity of the Lord Jesus as they worship Him, giving to Him what the Lord ordained was to be used in the worship of Himself. The people of Sheba will worship the Lord extravagantly, bringing their precious frankincense to Him as an expression of their love and devotion to their Lord and Savior.

乳香
成群的駱駝，並米甸和以法的獨峰駝必遮滿你。示巴的眾人都必來到；要奉上黃金乳香，又要傳說耶和華的讚美。（以賽亞書60：6）
聖經中第一次提到乳香是在出埃及記30：34。當以色列人在西奈山前扎營時，神指示摩西如何敬拜祂。乳香是獻在耶和華面前的熏香材料之一。耶和華說：「你們要以這香為至聖。」（出埃及記30：36）它幫助會幕充滿了令人驚奇的氣味，一種蒙神悅納的香氣。會幕帳篷的織物一定附著了這種香的味道。
只有品質最高的「純正乳香」才能供奉給至高無上的神，自古以來，乳香都是從阿拉伯南部出口的。這種乳香中最好的出品產自沙漠高原，該高原與現今阿曼南部佐法爾行政區沿海的山脈接壤。該地區可能是以賽亞書60：6中所述的示巴王國的一部分。歷史悠久的乳香之路從這一地區一直延伸到現今的也門，一直延伸到現今沙特阿拉伯的廣闊沙漠。然後，它向北延伸到地中海沿岸的王國，再從那裡延伸到已知的世界其他地方。
時至今日，阿拉伯半島仍有許多人使用乳香，尤其是也門人和阿曼人。一位信奉耶穌的也門人對乳香反思：
我叫比爾基斯，以示巴女王的名字命名。我們家裡使用含有乳香的熏香，但現在優質乳香非常昂貴。小時候，鄰居和朋友來訪時，我母親會在家裡焚香。這種香味對我們來說非常重要。一些女士會站在香爐周圍，讓煙霧混入她們的衣物，這樣香味就會附著在她們身上停留很長時間。
「願我的禱告如香陳列在你面前。」（詩篇141：2）對我來說，這節經文生動活潑，讓我想到為我的家人、朋友和鄰居禱告。願我在他們面前如香一樣，願我成為主耶穌的馨香之氣。
我的家人（大部分是穆斯林）使用乳香，我們認識的許多人在週末使用乳香，尤其是在清真寺裡。男人在去清真寺前會使用乳香。有些清真寺也會焚香。現在，在我們也門人的耶穌信徒團契中，我們會在一同敬拜時焚香，空氣中彌漫著這種傳統的香氣。我現在相信，啟示錄5：8中與聖徒的禱告一起焚香的金碗裡有也門乳香。我們的禱告與其他聖徒的禱告混在一起。
在即將到來的榮耀之日，先前在耶和華會幕中獻給主的「純正乳香」將獻給在耶路撒冷統治的主耶穌基督。通過這份禮物，示巴人民將在敬拜主耶穌時確認主耶穌的神性，將主指定用於敬拜自己的物品獻給祂。示巴人民將盛情地敬拜主，將他們珍貴的乳香獻給祂，以表達他們對他們的主和救主的愛和忠誠。
l 感謝主賜予示巴（阿曼佐法爾省）的乳香，很久以前人們在他的聖殿中用它來敬拜他。禱告他在這些日子裡會在佐法爾及其城市（如塞拉萊和科爾羅里）升起屬靈敬拜者的熏香。禱告有才華的音樂家和作曲家能夠成長起來，隨時準備榮耀祂。禱告這些當地信徒能夠創作出許多新的詩篇、讚美詩和靈歌。 l 「萬軍之耶和華說：從日出之地到日落之處，我的名在外邦中必尊為大。在各處，人必奉我的名燒香，獻潔淨的供物。因為我的名在外邦中必尊為大。」（瑪拉基書1：11）禱告萬軍之耶和華的名在各處被人所知，凡是燃燒乳香的地方都是如此。 l 所羅門王在雅歌3：6中被描述為充滿香氣：「那從曠野上來、形狀如煙柱，以沒藥和乳香並商人各樣香粉熏的是誰呢？」讓我們禱告示巴人民充滿耶和華的香氣， 並知道耶和華悅納他們敬拜主耶穌。 l 禱告越來越多的也門、阿曼和沙特的信徒知道他們在周圍的人面前是神的馨香之氣。願他們知道，他們給家裡的人和他們遇到的人的生命帶來了甜蜜的香氣。 l 為也門、阿曼和沙特的耶穌信徒禱告，願他們知道他們為周圍人所發的禱告如同熏香，願他們通過禱告將家人和朋友帶到主耶穌的面前。 l 讚美神，因為示巴人民看到乳香可以成為他們敬拜神的一部分。 與我們一同敬拜吧！《願禱告如香》（https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iYpYofs8Xp4），Graham Kendrick。耶穌，接受我們敬拜的馨香之氣。 馬太福音18：14重點-「你們在天上的父也是這樣，不願意這小子裡失喪一個。」

 Sheba, Part 4 Najran, A City on Ancient Paths This is what the Lord says: “Stand at the crossroads and look; ask for the ancient paths, ask where the good way is, and walk in it, and you will find rest for your souls. But you said, ‘We will not walk in it. Therefore hear, you nations; you who are witnesses, observe what will happen to them. Hear, you earth: I am bringing disaster on this people, the fruit of their schemes, because they have not listened to My words and have rejected My law. What do I care about incense from Sheba or sweet calamus from a distant land? Your burnt offerings are not acceptable; your sacrifices do not please Me” (Jeremiah 6:16, 18-20). From early days, Najran (in southern Saudi Arabia) was Sheba’s primary trade link in its northern regions for its overland caravans, being at a crossroads on ancient paths of trade and important frankincense routes. It was the leading gateway city through which Sheba’s caravans delivered gold, incense, jewels, and other goods as mentioned in Scripture. Najran has a long-standing legacy of faith and courage. Historical records indicate that the Gospel had reached there in the early centuries of the church, and that its community of indigenous believers faithfully endured multiple seasons of hardship and persecution. The church of Najran existed from the 5th century AD, or earlier, and lasted until at least the 14th century AD, representing the single largest Christian community in the history of the Arabian Peninsula. Najran's famed resilience was matched by its bold witness. We are even told that this church sent a missionary to China in the 9th century. In 523 AD, Najran suffered a horrific massacre at the hands of a South-Arabian Jewish king upon refusing to renounce Christ. Well-documented stories of these courageous martyrs were preserved by the church of that day, and many church communities continue to commemorate their faith. In recent years, ancient manuscripts with numerous historical accounts of this event have received much attention from academic scholars. Thousands of believers who refused to deny Christ were subject to torture by their Jewish persecutors, some one hundred years before the rise of Islam. The leader of the Christian community of Najran at the time, Harith (Arethas), was a beloved and respected elder. The devastating persecution was of men, women and children, slaves and free, clergy and laymen, local Arabs and foreigners. All who called upon the name of the Lord were martyred for their faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. Such detailed testimonies of the Najrani believers reveal a genuine faith in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. Their testimonies are filled with references to God’s Word and with fervent prayers. Many were burned alive, while others were mercilessly dragged behind camels, beheaded, or shot with arrows with their children at their side. In all its diversity, the church of Najran stood together with a spirit of unity and solidarity as it received its heavenly crown of victory. Despite all this, the Church of Najran persevered, continuing well into the Islamic era. The last traces of a public expression of Christianity can be seen inscribed on 14th-century gravestones. They will rebuild the ancient ruins and restore the places long devastated; they will renew the ruined cities that have been devastated for generations (Isaiah 61:4).

納季蘭，一座古道路徑上的城市
耶和華如此說：「你們當站在路上察看，訪問古道，哪是善道，便行在其間；這樣，你們心裡必得安息。他們卻說：『我們不行在其間。』列國啊，因此你們當聽！會眾啊，要知道他們必遭遇的事！地啊，當聽！我必使災禍臨到這百姓，就是他們意念所結的果子，因為他們不聽從我的言語。至於我的訓誨，他們也厭棄了。從示巴出的乳香，從遠方出的菖蒲奉來給我有何益呢？你們的燔祭不蒙悅納，你們的平安祭我也不喜悅。」（耶利米書6：16，18-20）
自古以來，納季蘭（位於沙特阿拉伯南部）就是示巴商隊在北部地方的主要貿易樞紐，位於古代貿易路線和重要乳香路線的十字路口。它是示巴商隊運送黃金、香料、珠寶和其他聖經中提到的貨物的主要門戶城市。
納季蘭有著悠久的信仰和勇氣傳統。歷史記錄表明，福音在教會早期就已經傳到了那裡，其本土信徒社群忠心地忍受了多次艱辛和迫害。納季蘭教會從公元5世紀或更早開始存在，並至少持續到公元14世紀，是阿拉伯半島歷史上最大的基督徒社群。納季蘭信徒以堅韌不拔而聞名，他們大膽的見證與這種品質相得益彰。我們甚至聽說，該教會在9世紀派遣了一名宣教士前往中國。
公元523年，納季蘭因拒絕聲明放棄基督之名而遭到南阿拉伯猶太國王的慘痛屠殺。當時的教會保存了這些勇敢殉道者的故事，許多教會團體仍在紀念他們的信心。近年來，記載了這一事件的大量歷史的古代手抄本受到了學者們的廣泛關注。
在伊斯蘭興起前約一百年，數千名拒絕否認基督的信徒遭到猶太迫害者的酷刑。當時，納季蘭基督徒社群的領袖哈里斯（阿瑞薩斯）是一位受人愛戴和尊敬的長者。遭到毀滅性迫害的人包括男人、女人和兒童、奴隸和自由人、神職人員和普通人、當地阿拉伯人和外國人。所有呼求主名的人都因信仰主耶穌基督而殉道。
納吉蘭信徒的這些詳細見證表明他們真誠地相信耶穌基督是主和救主。他們的見證中充滿了對神的道的引用和熱切的禱告。許多人被活活燒死，而其他人則被無情地拖在駱駝後面，被斬首，或被箭射死，而他們的孩子就在他們身邊。納吉蘭教會的人們雖然背景不同，但團結一致，屬靈合一，他們彼此聯合，獲得了屬天的得勝冠冕。
盡管如此，納季蘭教會仍堅持下來，並一直延續到伊斯蘭時代。關於基督教的公開表達的最後痕跡可以在14世紀的墓碑上看到。
他們必修造已久的荒場，建立先前淒涼之處，重修歷代荒涼之城。（以賽亞書61：4）
l 讓我們禱告，願納季蘭的這些古老的信心和禱告的種子，在賦予生命的神的靈的指引下，為王國帶來豐碩的成果。願古老的信心和教會遺址得以復蘇，願殉道者的鮮血結出果實，為納季蘭及其行政區的許多人帶來永生盼望。 l 禱告示巴人民今天能尋求古老的屬靈道路。願示巴人民真正走上他們屬靈祖先的道路，他們跟隨耶穌（如納季蘭殉道者），聽從祂的話語，順服祂。願他們聽從神的話語，信奉祂的道路；願他們敬拜的馨香之氣能被主悅納。 l 正如納季蘭山旱谷乾涸的河床在雨後變成了荒野中奔騰的河流一樣，讓我們禱告神將祂的聖靈傾注到這個地區，將生命之水帶到屬靈沙漠中-不僅在納季蘭，而且在古代示巴的整個領土、阿曼、也門和沙特阿拉伯。 與我們一同敬拜吧！《古道路徑》（https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o-aKKgre6OI），Eleventh Hour Worship。耶穌，願我們與你同行，走在你的道路上！ 馬太福音18：14重點-「你們在天上的父也是這樣，不願意這小子裡失喪一個。」

 Sheba, Part 5 Blessing The Poor This is how you are to bless the [people]. Say to them: “The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make His face shine on you and be gracious to you; the Lord turn His face toward you and give you peace. So they will put My name on the [people], and I will bless them” (Numbers 6:23- 27, adapted). This is an account of the plight of modern-day Sheba (Yemen), told by a Yemeni. My name is Himyar. My beautiful land of Yemen, my home, and the home of my forefathers, once the prosperous and blessed nation from which the Queen of Sheba traveled to see King Solomon, now has the highest poverty rates in the region. The war and conflict, which began in 2014, has moved my country into extreme hardship and suffering. We, as a people, have a special bond with this land! The land of Sheba is so important to us. Although this is the last thing my sister would think of, she and her family want to leave Yemen because she lost her job and her income; there are no opportunities. There is not enough food for most people to survive, with a large proportion of the population struggling to access sufficient food, and this greatly affects women, children, and the internally displaced persons. People are scavenging in the rubbish to find food. The current situation is so painful. Women have mainly been the ones getting water in the rural areas, and clean water has been a challenge. The war has made finding water even harder, as the conflict has damaged infrastructure and disrupted supply systems, leaving many without clean and safe drinking water. Numerous schools have suffered damage or become inoperable, depriving children of access to education. Additionally, a significant number of teachers have not received their wages, compelling them to seek alternative employment, which affected the quality of the education offered. School curricula have also been changed in the areas under the rule of the Houthis. My relative’s child is missing out on school because his parents do not want to send him to government school as they are afraid that their child will be indoctrinated. At the same time, they cannot send him to a private school because they can barely afford to provide food on the table. I know of some other children who cannot go to school because their schools were bombed. This generation of Yemeni children will have very little education. The ongoing conflict has led to a decline in economic activities, including the disruption of trade and reduced agricultural production. In the northern parts of Yemen, most of the government civil employees have not received salaries for many years. These factors have contributed to the poverty crisis. When my own father receives a salary (if he does), it is less than half a month’s salary every four to five months. Himyar asks us to use the following blessings to fuel prayer for Yemen. Please add your own blessings as well. Lord Jesus, in Your Holy Name, we bless Yemen: For peace and reconciliation. Yemen, we bless you in the holy name of Jesus with wholeness. We ask the Holy Spirit to flow between these broken pieces, between the neighbors who are fighting this war, and the people who are not living in peace. May the blessing of the Holy Spirit come into these broken pieces and fix them together so that wholeness and new life can grow from this. We bless you with peace from the Prince of Peace that will cast out hatred. We bless you with love that will cast out fear and bless you with the joy that will end the grief and mourning. We bless you with freedom from corruption and freedom from Islamic extremism. We bless you with restoration and bless you with joy and unity among your people. We bless you with the healing of the hearts of your people. We bless you with health. We speak out God’s blessing over this land and over this people so the land may be filled with wholeness, and that peace may restore the country in the Holy name of Jesus. For school children and school buildings. We bless the children and the schools of Yemen. Bless the physical school buildings that are throughout the country and renew them as places where children will be welcome once again. Bless the school buildings with healing, wholeness, peace, and safety. We bless these buildings to be restored--that the fear that is in the very bricks of the building will be gone and that it will be replaced with peace and love and wholeness. We bless these buildings to once again be filled with children who are going to learn even exponentially more than they would on a normal basis. For the land of Yemen, the crops, and animals. We bless you with the healing of your land. We mourn the blood spilled on this land and bless the land to be cleansed by the blood of Jesus, the only effective atonement to deal with bloodshed. We curse all the landmines that have been planted. We bless your animals. We pray that they will multiply and be food for the people. We bless your land that it produces fruit. We bless your seeds so that there will be abundant growth of crops and much food for all the people. For those in poverty and unmet basic needs: Yemen, we bless your poor with the blessings of enough to eat, clean water, a roof over their heads, and health. We bless you with humanitarian agencies to be able to work freely among you to provide this aid to your poor. We bless your government leaders with wisdom and care for their people, and the gift of kind donor nations and aid agencies to rebuild your country's infrastructure, including healthcare facilities, so that they may function effectively and provide the essential care which your people greatly need. For the women of Yemen: We bless and speak love over the women of Yemen with the dignity that the Lord has given you. We bless you with all that the Lord has and really wants for you. We know He has so much for you, from all the goodness that comes out of His throne of grace. We bless men with the knowledge of how God sees His daughters. For all the people of Yemen: We bless you with the revelation which leads to the knowledge of the living God and a saving faith in the Lord Jesus Christ from whom all blessings flow. Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows (James 1:17). Worship with us!: The Blessing by Kari Jobe.

賜福窮人
「你告訴阿曼人說：你們要這樣為阿曼人祝福，說：『願耶和華賜福給你，保護你。願耶和華使祂的臉光照你，賜恩給你。願耶和華向你仰臉，賜你平安。』他們要如此奉我的名為阿曼人祝福，我也要賜福給他們。」（民數記6：23-27，改編經文）
這是一位也門人講述的現代示巴（也門）的困境。
我的名字是希木葉爾。我美麗的也門，我的家鄉，我祖先的故鄉，曾經是一個繁榮而幸福的國家，示巴女王就是從那裡前往所羅門王的，但現在這裡卻 是該地區貧困率最高的國家。2014年開始的戰爭和衝突使我的國家陷入了極度的困境和苦難。我們作為一個民族，與這片土地有著特殊的聯繫！示巴的土地對我們來說非常重要。雖然這是我的姐妹最不願意想到的事情，但她和她的家人想離開也門，因為她失去了工作和收入；這裡沒有機會。
大多數人沒有足夠的食物維持生存，很大一部分人口難以獲得足夠的食物，這婦女、兒童和境內流離失所者影響很大。人們在垃圾堆裡尋找食物。目前的情況非常令人痛苦。
在農村地區，主要靠婦女取水，而乾淨的水源一直是一大挑戰。戰爭使得尋找水源更加困難，因為衝突破壞了基礎設施，中斷了供水系統，導致許多人得不到乾淨安全的飲用水。
許多學校遭到破壞或無法正常運作，剝奪了兒童接受教育的機會。此外，大量教師沒有收到工資，迫使他們另謀高就，這影響了教育品質。胡塞武裝統治地區的學校課程也發生了變化。我親戚的孩子失學了，因為他的父母不想送他去公立學校，因為他們擔心孩子會被灌輸。同時，他們又不能送他去私立學校，因為他們幾乎負擔不起食物。我知道還有一些孩子因為學校被炸而無法上學。這一代也門兒童將很少接受教育。
持續不斷的衝突導致經濟活動減少，包括貿易中斷和農業產量下降。在也門北部地方，大多數政府公務員多年沒有領到工資。這些因素加劇了貧困危機。我父親即使領到工資（如果他有的話），每四到五個月也只夠領到半個月的工資。
希木葉爾請求我們用以下神的賜福為也門禱告。也請加上你自己的祝福。
主耶穌，奉你的聖名，我們祝福也門：
l 為和平與和解禱告：也門，我們奉耶穌的聖名祝福你們，願你們完好無損。我們禱告聖靈在這些破碎的傷痛之間流動，在參與戰爭的鄰舍之間流動，在沒有和平生活的人民之間流動。願聖靈的福氣進入這些破碎的碎片，將它們修復在一起，讓平安和新生命從中成長。我們以和平之君的和平祝福你們，和平將驅散仇恨。我們以愛祝福你們，愛將驅散恐懼；我們以喜樂祝福你們，喜樂將結束悲傷和哀悼。我們奉耶穌的聖名祝福你們，讓你們擺脫腐敗和伊斯蘭極端主義。我們以復興祝福你們，祝福你們人民的喜樂和團結。我們以人民的心靈得到醫治祝福你們。我們以健康祝福你們。我們禱告這片土地和人民得到神的賜福，讓這片土地恢復完全，願和平讓這個國 家恢復生機，奉耶穌的聖名禱告。 l 為學校的孩子們和學校禱告：我們祝福也門的孩子們和學校。祝福全國各地的學校，讓它們煥然一新，成為孩子們再次被好好善待的地方。祝福學校的建築物恢復原狀、恢復完整、享受和平與安全。我們祝福這些建築物得到修復-建築物磚塊中的恐懼將消失，取而代之的是和平、愛和完整。我們祝福這些建築物再次充滿孩子們，他們將比平時學到更多的東西。 l 為也門的土地、莊稼和動物禱告：我們祝福你的土地痊癒。我們哀悼灑在這片土地上的鮮血，祝福這片土地被耶穌的血潔淨，這是解決流血的唯一有效贖罪。我們咒詛所有埋在地下的地雷。我們祝福你的動物。我們禱告它們繁衍生息，成為人們的食物。我們祝福你的土地結出果實。我們祝福你的種子，讓莊稼豐收，為所有人提供充足的食物。 l 為那些貧困和基本需求得不到滿足的人禱告：也門，我們祝福你們的窮人有足夠的食物、乾淨的水、有房子住、有健康。我們祝福你們有人道主義機構，能夠在你們中間自由工作，為你們的窮人提供援助。我們祝福你們的政府領導人有智慧和對人民的關懷，並祝福你們有善良的捐助國和援助機構重建你們國家的基礎設施，包括醫療設施，使它們能夠有效運作，並為你們的人民提供急需的基本護理。 l 為也門婦女禱告：我們用主賦予你們的尊嚴祝福也門婦女，並向她們表達愛意。我們用主擁有的一切和神真正想要給你們的一切祝福你們。我們知道，從祂恩典的寶座裡出來的所有美善中神為你們預備了太多恩典要給你。我們祝福男人，讓他們知道神使如何看待祂的女兒。 l 為也門全體人民禱告：我們祝福你們，願神賜予你們啟示，使你們認識永生的神，並信靠主耶穌基督，一切福氣都來自祂。各樣美善的恩賜和各樣全備的賞賜都是從上頭來的，從眾光之父那裡降下來的，在祂並沒有改變，也沒有轉動的影兒。（雅各書1：17） 與我們一同敬拜吧！《福氣》（https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tNk_xCa7zaQ），Kari Jobe。耶穌，將你的福氣傾注在示巴身上！ 馬太福音18：14重點-「你們在天上的父也是這樣，不願意這小子裡失喪一個。」
