Session Two

PRAYER and FASTING

RELATIONAL HEALING

For Christ himself has brought peace to us. He united Jews and Gentiles into one people when, in his own body on the cross, he broke down the wall of hostility that separated us. Ephesians 2:14

REFLECTION

Hatred, prejudice, and division are not just social issues; they are spiritual ones. Sin doesn’t just isolate us from God; it weaponizes our differences against one another. We see it everywhere: the “love of many growing cold,” just as Jesus predicted.

But the Cross changed the landscape of human interaction. When Jesus died, He didn’t just save individuals; He dismantled the “wall of hostility” that divided groups—Jew from Gentile, race from race, neighbour from neighbour. Because Jesus is the Saviour of all people, there is no room for enmity in the heart of a believer. We now have a real, tangible opportunity for reconciliation because the wall is already down. The bridge has been built with His own body.

QUOTES

“The Church should be the society of the forgiven and the forgiving.” William. G. Spencer

PRAYER POINT

A New Perspective: Pray for “Kingdom Eyes.” Ask God to help you see every person—regardless of their background or beliefs—through the lens of Christ’s love and sacrifice.
Healing the Breach: Bring specific relationships before God. Whether it’s a family feud, a workplace tension, or a fractured friendship, pray for God’s healing grace to soften hearts and initiate restoration.
Breaking the Spirit of Hate: Intercede for your community and nation. Rebuke the spirits of division and prejudice that sow discord, and pray that the peace of Christ would act as a “firewall” against hatred.

MEDITATE

Take five minutes to sit in silence and reflect on this:

Every person you encounter today—those you find easy to love and those you find impossible to like—is someone God died for. They have a stake in His Kingdom, and you are His appointed agent of healing to them.

Ask yourself: Am I holding onto a “brick” from a wall that Jesus already tore down? What would it look like to be an instrument of peace in my most difficult relationship today?
