五月份祈禱的要點 II
為阿曼祈禱的要點
 Tribes, Part 1 The Incubator of Omani Society and Government Beyond one’s family relationships and obligations, an Omani’s tribal affiliation is also a crucial part of who they are. In the past, a person’s tribe (Arabic: قبيلة, qabeela) was the primary source of cultural, societal, and political identity; in modern Oman starting with Sultan Qaboos, tribes now primarily have a socio-cultural purpose. Much of ‘traditional culture’ is actually tribal culture (dance, song, poetry) and tribal affiliation still can affect marriage choices and even football club allegiance! However, local tribal governing power and rule of law has been largely absorbed into the modern Omani state government and constitution. It has been said that the nation of Oman was born of the tribe, and cradled by the tribe. Indeed, Oman has been governed by sultanic dynasties which are actually tribal dynasties, and the current dynasty is the rule of the Al Bu Sa'idi tribe. One of the first tasks of Sultan Qaboos as a new Sultan in 1970 was to receive allegiance to his rule by the various tribal leaders. The current geography of Oman reflects this, as the tribes of Musandam and the Madha enclave chose to be loyal to the Sultan, even though they are situated in the UAE. Even Sultan Haitham, coming to power in 2020, made it a point to travel to various cities and confirm his leadership amongst the tribes, especially in Dhofar. According to some Western sources, there are a limited number of tribes in Oman, around 50 or so. According to various Arabic sources, there are more than 200. The true number seems to be unknown. After this I looked, and behold, right in front of me I saw a vast multitude of people—an enormous multitude so huge that no one could count—made up of victorious ones from every nation, TRIBE, people group, and language. They were all in glistening white robes, standing before the throne and before the Lamb with palm branches in their hands. And they shouted out with a passionate voice: “Salvation belongs to our God seated on the throne and to the Lamb!” (Revelation 7:9-10) Thank You, God, that EVERY tribe in Oman will be represented before You in heaven! Thank You that they will stand before the Lamb and worship You! We believe this and declare this in faith! Worship with us!: Reigning by Jeremy Riddle. Every tribe of Oman will come and bow before You, God!

阿曼社會和政府的孵化器
除了家庭關係和義務之外，阿曼人的部落歸屬也是他們身份認同的重要組成部分。在過去，一個人的部落（阿拉伯語：قبيلة，qabeela）是文化、社會和政治身份的主要來源；在現代阿曼，從蘇丹卡布斯開始，部落現在主要具有社會文化意義。許多「傳統文化」實際上是部落文化（舞蹈、歌曲、詩歌），部落歸屬仍然可以影響婚姻選擇甚至擁戴某支足球俱樂部！然而，當地部落的執政權力和法治已被現代阿曼國家政府和憲法大量吸收。
有人說，阿曼這個國家誕生於部落，並由部落養育。事實上，阿曼一直由蘇丹王朝統治，這些王朝實際上是部落王朝，而現在的王朝是賽義德部落的統治。1970年，卡布斯蘇丹作為新蘇丹的首要任務之一就是讓各部落首領效忠他的統治。阿曼目前的地理位置反映了這一點，因為穆桑代姆部落和馬迪哈飛地選擇效忠蘇丹，盡管他們位於阿聯酋境內。即使是2020年上台的海瑟姆蘇丹也特意前往各個城市，在部落中確認他的領導地位，尤其是在佐法爾。
根據一些西方消息來源，阿曼的部落數量有限，大約50個左右。根據各種阿拉伯消息來源，部落數量超過200個。真實數位似乎未知。
此後，我觀看，見有許多的人，沒有人能數過來，是從各國、各族、各民、各方來的，站在寶座和羔羊面前，身穿白衣，手拿棕樹枝，大聲喊著說：「願救恩歸與坐在寶座上我們的神，也歸與羔羊。」（啟示錄7：9-10）
感謝神，阿曼的每一個部落都將在天堂裡出現在你的面前！感謝你他們將站在羔羊面前敬拜你！我們如此相信，並以信心如此宣告！ 與我們一同敬拜吧！《掌權》（https://youtu.be/-yhdExGUZoE），傑瑞米·里德爾。神啊，願阿曼的每個部落都會來到你面前俯伏敬拜！ 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。」

 Tribes, Part 2 What is a Tribe? Tribes in Oman are comprised of various clans (fakhdh/fukhudh) who are bound together by common patrilineal descent and certain social/economic obligations to each other. The head of the tribe is usually a sheikh (respected elder). Amongst the Bedouin tribes, a rashid may lead an individual tribal branch. Tribal leaders are usually chosen by their fellow tribesmen, and considered to be ‘equal among equals.’In the past, marriages were primarily from within the tribe, usually with a cousin, to build up the size and strength of the tribe. Tribes would exercise political and judicial authority through councils (majlis) and religious courts (al qada’ al shar’i), using diplomacy and consensus building to arrive at decisions. These tribal structures were absorbed into the structure of the national government (parliament and court systems). Tribes would often form regional alliances for protection and economic advantage. Tribes had territorial land (dar/dira), which would affect their lifestyle and livelihood. Nomadic tribes (bedu) had territory in the desert (often with little water) for grazing their livestock. Tribes with territory which had water became more settled (hadhar) and grew crops in the mountains and oases. There is a strong code of honor within the tribe, reflecting the harshness of the natural environment and the values that are needed to survive in it. Today, tribal leaders still exercise local influence in matters of family and kinship, and often mediate between and on behalf of tribe members. The tribe still serves as a source of social cohesion and identity, especially around life events such as birth, marriage, or death. However, there is now a strong (stronger?) sense of national citizenship and being ‘Omani,’ beyond being a member of one’s tribe. (From 'Oman – State, Tribes and Revolution') Righteous Father, You so loved the world that You gave Your one and only Son, so that whoever believes in Him would not perish, but have eternal life. We declare that the earth will be filled with an awareness of Your glory, just as the waters fill the sea. Your Word tells us that there will be a great multitude of sheep and lambs that no one can count, from every nation, TRIBE, people and language, standing before Your throne and in front of the Lamb. And they will cry out, “Salvation belongs to our God, who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb.” We confess that every person, TRIBE, nation, people and language will acknowledge that You are God of the nations and Your Son, Jesus Christ, is the liberator for all people.

什麼是部落？
阿曼的部落由不同的宗族（fakhdh/fukhhudh）組成，他們因共同的父系血統和彼此之間的某些社會/經濟義務而聯繫在一起。部落的首領通常是一名酋長（謝赫）（受人尊敬的長者）。在貝都因部落中，一名拉希德可以領導一個單獨的部落分支。部落首領通常由部落成員選出，並被認為是「平起平坐」。過去，婚姻主要來自部落內部，通常是與表親結婚，以擴大部落的規模和實力。部落將通過議會（majlis）和宗教法庭（al qada’ al shar’i）行使政治和司法權力，利用外交和建立共識來做出決策。這些部落結構被納入國家政府的結構（議會和法院系統）。
部落經常會形成區域聯盟以尋求保護和經濟優勢。部落擁有領地（dar/dira），這會 影響他們的生活方式和生計。遊牧部落（bedu）在沙漠中擁有土地（通常水源貧瘠）來放牧牲畜。擁有水資源的部落變得更宜定居（哈達爾，hadhar），並在山區和綠洲種植莊稼。部落內部有很強的榮譽準則，反映了惡劣的自然環境和在其中生存所需的價值觀。
如今，部落首領仍然在家庭和親屬事務上發揮當地影響力，並經常在部落成員之間並代表部落成員進行調解。部落仍然是社會凝聚力和身份認同的來源，尤其是在出生、婚姻或死亡等人生大事方面。然而，現在人們有一種強烈（或者說更強烈）的國家公民意識和「阿曼人」意識，而不僅僅是一個部落的成員。（摘自《阿曼-國家，部落和革命》）（https://frontiers.us6.list-manage.com/track/click?u=ae7688ec28a5fe7621edf0f7c&id=c1de2781c1&e=5f1ea9575a）
公義的父啊，你愛世人，甚至將你的獨生子賜給他們，叫一切信祂的，不至滅亡，反得永生。
我們宣告，大地將充滿對你榮耀的認識，就像水充滿大海一樣。你的話語告訴我們，將會有來自各個國家、部落、民族和語言的一大群綿羊和羔羊，數量之多無人能數清，站在你的寶座和羔羊面前。他們會高喊：「願救恩歸與坐在寶座上我們的神，也歸與羔羊。」
我們告白，每個人、部落、國家、民族和文明都會承認你是萬國之神，你的兒子耶穌基督是所有人的解放者。

 Tribes, Part 3 History of Tribes in Oman It is believed that most tribes of Oman are descended from the Al-Azd, who were Nabateans and descendants of Ishmael that emigrated from Yemen in 2nd century AD after a catastrophic dam collapse. There were many other people groups living in Oman at that time, including other Arabs, Phoenicians, Chaldeans, Sabaeans, and Persians—who were the dominant force. The leader of the Al Azad tribe banded with other Arabs to rout the Persians, and later other Arab tribes (the Nizaris) also relocated to Oman. The Tayy tribe was the first in Oman to convert to Islam, in 632 AD. They were instrumental in spreading the new religion quickly and peaceably amongst the other tribes. It is said that the Prophet Mohammed blessed the tribes of Oman, asking God to ‘not inflict over them an enemy from those not among them.’Throughout Omani history, various tribes and factions were united to repel outside invaders, but have been plagued by intertribal feuding and warfare amongst themselves—a seeming fulfillment of these words. In the 8th century AD the tribes of Oman polarized into two larger confederations: the Hinawis and the Ghafiris. The Hinawis are descendants of the Azd tribe, primarily in the southeast and interior of Oman, and Ibadhi. The Ghafiris are descendants of the Nizari tribes, in the northeastern part of Oman, and Sunni (with Wahhabi influence). These rivalries surfaced at various points in history, as they gave allegiance to competing Imams or Sultans. Eventually the British became intermediaries, helping to stabilize the country in the late 1800s. Declare This: And they were all singing this new song of praise to the Lamb: “Because You were slaughtered for us, You are worthy to take the scroll and open its seals. Your blood was the price paid to redeem us. You purchased us to bring us to God out of every TRIBE, language, people group, and nation. You have chosen us to serve our God and formed us into a kingdom of priest who reign on the earth.” (Revelation 5:9-10) · We bless you, tribes of Oman, to be redeemed by the blood of the Lamb. · We bless you, tribes of Oman, to be a kingdom of priests to serve God. · We bless you, tribes of Oman, to lay down your weapons and swear your allegiance to King Jesus.

阿曼部落的歷史
一般相信，阿曼的大多數部落都是阿茲德的後裔，他們是納巴泰人和以實瑪利（易司瑪儀）的後裔，在公元2世紀大壩災難性倒塌後從也門移民而來。當時，阿曼還生活著許多其他民族，包括其他阿拉伯人，腓尼基人，迦勒底人，賽伯伊人和波斯人-他們是主導力量。阿茲德部落的首領與其他阿拉伯人聯合起來擊潰了波斯人，後來其他阿拉伯部落（尼扎爾人）也遷往阿曼。
泰伊部落是阿曼第一個皈依伊斯蘭的部落，時間是公元632年。他們對於在其他部落中迅速而和平地傳播新宗教方面發揮了重要作用。據說先知穆罕默德祝福阿曼部落，祈求真主「不要讓不屬他們的人成為他們的仇敵」。縱觀阿曼的歷史，各個部落和派系聯合起來擊退外來入侵者，但一直受到部落間世仇和戰爭的困擾-這似乎應驗了這些話。
公元8世紀，阿曼各部落分裂為兩個較大的聯盟：欣納維派和加菲爾派。欣納維派是阿茲德部落的後裔，主要居住在阿曼東南部和內陸地區，以及伊巴德派。加 菲爾派是尼扎爾部落的後裔，居住在阿曼東北部，以及遜尼派（受瓦哈比派影響）。這些競爭與對抗在歷史的不同時期浮出水面，因為他們效忠於相互競爭的伊瑪目或蘇丹。最終，英國成為中間人，幫助穩定了19世紀後期的國家局勢。
宣告：
他們唱新歌說：「你配拿書卷，配揭開七印，因為你曾被殺，用自己的血從各族、各方、各民、各國中買了人來，叫他們歸於神，又叫他們成為國民，作祭司，歸於神，在地上執掌王權。」（啟示錄5：9-10）
l 阿曼各部落，我們祝福你們被羔羊的血所救贖。 l 阿曼各部落，我們祝福你們成為侍奉神的祭司國度。 l 阿曼各部落，我們祝福你們放下武器，宣誓效忠耶穌君王。 與我們一同敬拜吧！《每個部落》（https://youtu.be/KXk08UmM5yA），約書亞·亞倫。願阿曼的每個部落都會看到他們的君王來臨！ 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。」

 Al-Batinah South Seekers Come to Jesus We know that the Father is actively at work in Oman, to begin drawing people to His Son, Jesus. Researchers estimate that approximately 2.5% of any given population are open for religious change. So in Al-Batinah South region, that means approximately 11,639 people are potentially open! ‘Broad sowing’ initiatives are challenging in Oman, because of laws outlawing proselytization. However, social media campaigns are starting to connect with seekers and beginning to bear fruit. Today, let’s pray for seekers in Al-Batinah South region, and the social media efforts to reach them. · Pray for the 2.5% of Al-Batinah South region (11,639 people) that are potentially open for spiritual change.

 Wadi Al-Ma'awil Break Up the Fallow Ground Wadi Al-Ma’awil (Arabic, وادي المعاول, pop. 20,174) is a district in the mountain area of Al-Batinah South. It is situated in one of the main mountain passes, between Nakhal and the coast. Consisting of quiet towns and small villages, this district is actually steeped in history, and home to numerous fortifications underscoring its strategic location and importance. It is also the birthplace of several influential religious scholars, as well as poets and writers. This area is also known for its silverwork, especially of khanjars, the traditional Omani daggers. In Arabic, ‘Al-Ma’awil’ is the plural of hoe or pick. May the soil of the hearts in Al-Ma’awil be tilled and ready to receive the seeds of Good News! This is what the Lord says to the people of [Oman]: “Plow up the hard ground of your hearts! Do not waste your good seed among thorns. O people of Judah and Jerusalem, surrender your pride and power. Change your hearts before the Lord” (Jeremiah 4:3-4) Pray for the District of Wadi Al-Ma’awil: · Glory of God. That God would be glorified and exalted and worshipped in Wadi Al-Ma’awil.

開墾休耕之地
馬維爾旱谷（https://goo.gl/maps/RzERku1F7mRpiNyh6）（阿拉伯語，واديالمعاول，人口20,174）是南巴提奈山區的一個轄區。它位於在納赫爾和海岸之間的某個主要山口之中。這個轄區由安靜的城鎮和小村莊組成，充滿歷史底蘊，擁有眾多防禦工事，凸顯了其戰略位置和重要性。它也是數位有影響力的宗教學者以及詩人和作家的出生地。該地區還以其銀器而聞名，尤其是傳統的阿曼匕首「汗扎爾」。
在阿拉伯語中，「Ma'awil」是鋤頭或鎬的複數形式。願馬維爾的心靈土壤得到耕耘，並準備好接受福音的種子！
耶和華對【阿曼】人如此說：「要開墾你們的荒地，不要撒種在荊棘中。猶大人和耶路撒冷的居民哪，你們當自行割禮歸耶和華，將心裡的污穢除掉。」（耶利米書4：3-4）
為馬維爾旱谷的城鎮和轄區禱告：
l 神的榮耀。神將在馬維爾旱谷得榮耀，尊崇和敬拜。（哈巴谷書2：14；詩篇138：4-5） l 神國的擴展。馬維爾旱谷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。在馬維爾旱谷人民的頭腦中，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，這權柄勝過馬維爾旱谷的公國統治權、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。願任何生活在馬維爾旱谷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馬維爾旱谷所有有需要的人。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！《照料》（https://youtu.be/yOFTbmBNoFQ），艾米·羅斯。耶穌，開墾阿曼人心中的荒地吧！ 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。」

 Movements Rapid Multiplication of Disciples and Churches in Al-Batinah South We want to see the fullness of the Kingdom of God coming into every part of Al-Batinah South region, like yeast penetrating the entire batch of dough (Matt. 13:33). And the fastest way for this to happen is by rapidly reproducing disciples and groups (churches), who spread and multiply within and across their families, tribes, social networks, and societies. Acts 6:7 is our heart’s desire and fervent prayer: “God's word reigned supreme and kept spreading. The number of Jesus' followers in [Al-Batinah South] quickly grew and increased by the day.” Let’s pray for the church that will form in Al-Batinah South: · Pray that seekers/new disciples would form groups to pray and study the Word together, forming the church. (Hebrews 10:25) · Pray that these new groups/churches would mature and multiply, leading to movements of healthy, reproducing churches. (Acts 16:5) · Pray for the raising up and multiplication of Omani leadership in these groups and networks. (2 Tim. 2:2) · Pray for spiritual protection from the enemy, covering over new believers, new groups, and new leaders as they emerge (I Pet. 5:8) · Pray that these movements would overcome the things that hinder growth, like fear, pride, corruption, disunity, etc. (Ephesians 4:1-4, 20-23) · Pray that Christ alone would be the foundation of these groups and movements (I Cor. 3:11) · Pray for the fullness of the Kingdom of God to spread and penetrate into every aspect of society and culture, in Al-Batinah South as it is in heaven.

 Aflaj Systems, Part 1 Distributing the Water of Life Oman is one of the driest countries on earth, with no natural lakes or rivers, and only a few inches (or less) of annual rainfall in the north and central regions. Thus, ancient Omanis developed irrigation systems to channel groundwater to their villages and farms, known as 'aflaj' أفلاج (singular 'falaj' فلج). In Arabic, 'falaj' means 'split into parts', and aptly describes this distribution of water. These channels, some dating back to 500 AD or earlier, use simple technology and gravity to carry water from its source to its destination. Water flow and equal distribution is monitored by a 'wakil' and overseen by a local committee. There are thought to be around 3000 active falaj systems in use today in Oman. Today, let us pray for the people of Oman to know Jesus, the Living Water: O God, You are the well of life, and in Your light we see light. Shine the light of Your holy knowledge on the people of Oman and show them Your flowing fountain. Give their thirsty souls living water and shine Your light from heaven on their darkened minds; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

分發生命之水
阿曼是世界上最乾旱的國家之一，沒有天然湖泊或河流，北部和中部區域年降雨量僅有幾英寸（或更少）。因此，古代阿曼人開發了灌溉系統，將地下水引入他們的村莊和農場，稱為「法拉吉」（複數「aflaj」أفلاج，單數「falaj」فلج）。在阿拉伯語中，「falaj」的意思是「分成幾部分」，恰當地描述了這種對水的分配方式。這些水渠有些可以追溯到公元500年或更早，它們使用簡單的技術和重力將水從源頭輸送到目的地。水流和均勻分配由一名「代表」監測，並由當地委員會監督。一般認為，目前阿曼正在使用大約3000個灌溉渠系統。
今天，讓我們為阿曼人民禱告，願他們認識活水耶穌：
神啊，你是生命之泉，在你的光芒中我們看見光明。請將你的神聖知識之光照射到阿曼人民身上，並向他們展示你的湧流之泉。將活水賜給他們乾渴的靈魂 ，並將你的天堂之光照射進他們黑暗的心靈；奉我們的主耶穌基督的名求，阿們。 （改編自《摩爾禱文》）（https://acollectionofprayers.com/tag/living-water/） 與我們一同敬拜吧！生命之河（https://youtu.be/YUtDmSaiuDk），真望敬拜團。願阿曼的許多人來飲生命之河！ 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。」

 Aflaj Systems, Part 2 Streams in the Desert There are 3 types of aflaj systems: Dawoodi Falaj: These are long channels dug underground that are several kilometers long. Their depth usually reaches up to dozens of meters, so water can be present in these channels all year. The most important of these falaj are: Falaj Al Khatmayn (or Khatmeen) and Falaj Daris in A’Dakhiliyah Governorate, which appear on the World Heritage List. Ghaili Falaj: These aflaj receive their water from ponds or running water in wadis. Their depths do not exceed 3 to 4 meters. Water quantities increase in these aflaj directly after rainfall and usually dry up quickly during extended dry periods. 'Ayni Falaj: These aflaj draw their water directly from the springs (wells), including hot springs. The importance of these falaj depends on their water quality, which varies between hot and cold, and between fresh drinking water, saline water, and between alkaline water mixed with valley water, considered suitable for agriculture. “When the poor and needy search for water and there is none, and their tongues are parched from thirst, then I, the Lord, will answer them. I, the God of Israel, will never abandon them. I will open up rivers for them on the high plateaus. I will give them fountains of water in the valleys. I will fill the desert with pools of water. Rivers fed by springs will flow across the parched ground." (Isaiah 41:17-18, NLT) Thank You, God, that You hear the prayer of Omanis when they cry out to You. Thank You that You will not abandon them, and You will answer them. Open up Your River of Life to them. Fill their deserts with streams of Living Water. In Jesus’ Name.

沙漠中的溪流
灌溉渠系統有3種類型（https://ancientwatertechnologies.com/2019/02/19/aflaj-in-oman/）：
達五德灌溉渠：這些灌溉渠是在地下挖掘的很長的溝渠，長達數公里。它們的深度通常可達數十米，因此這些溝渠中常年有水。其中最重要的灌溉渠是：位於達希利亞獨立省的哈特梅恩（或哈特米恩）灌溉渠和達里斯灌溉渠，它們均已被列入世界遺產名錄。
蓋里灌溉渠：這些灌溉渠從池塘或旱谷中的流動水獲取水源。它們的深度不超過3至4米。降雨後，這些灌溉渠的水量會立即增加，通常在長期乾旱期間會很快乾涸。
艾尼灌溉渠：這些灌溉渠直接從泉水（井）中取水，包括溫泉。這些灌溉渠的重要性取決於它們的水質，水有冷有熱，有淡水，鹽水，也有鹼性水和山谷水混合而成的，被認為適合農業。
「困苦窮乏人尋求水卻沒有，他們因口渴，舌頭乾燥。我耶和華必應允他們，我以色列的神必不離棄他們。我要在淨光的高處開江河，在谷中開泉源；我要使沙漠變為水池，使幹地變為湧泉。」（以賽亞書41：17-18）
神啊，感謝你，當阿曼人向你呼求時，你垂聽了他們的禱告。感謝你不會拋棄他們，你會回應他們。向他們敞開你的生命之河。讓他們的沙漠充滿活水的溪流。禱告奉耶穌的名。 與我們一同敬拜吧！《江河湧流》（https://youtu.be/dvCQozJQZLc），耶穌文化。願許多阿曼人在神之河中復活！ 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。」

 Aflaj Systems, Part 4 Solomon's Legacy Although generally thought to be of Persian origin and brought to Oman during the Achaemenid era (550-330 BC), popular myth credits the aflaj system to King Solomon. Reportedly visiting Oman on his way to Yemen (Sheba), Solomon became thirsty and exasperated with the lack of water. He then supposedly ordered the jinn (demons) to dig 1000 aflaj every day. Hence, the 'Dawoodi' aflaj system, named after King Solomon's father, King David. Today, let us pray for the refreshing of the Omani people. “The Lord will guide you continually, giving you water when you are dry and restoring your strength. You will be like a well-watered garden, like an ever-flowing spring.” (Isaiah 58:11) · We declare that God will satisfy the thirst of the Omani people with the true Living Water! · We declare that Omani people will be spiritually refreshed and restored, fruitful and life-giving to others! · We declare that You, Jesus, are the ever-flowing Spring that brings eternal life to Oman!

所羅門的遺產
盡管人們普遍認為灌溉渠系統起源於波斯，並在阿契美尼德王朝時期（公元前550-330年）傳入阿曼，但流行的神話將灌溉渠系統歸功於所羅門王。據說，所羅門在前往也門（示巴）途中訪問阿曼時，感到口渴，並因缺水而惱火。據傳他命令精靈（惡魔）每天挖掘1000個灌溉渠。因此，「達五德」（大衛）灌溉渠系統以所羅門王的父親大衛王的名字命名。
今天，讓我們為阿曼人民的屬靈振作禱告。
「耶和華也必時常引導你，在乾旱之地，使你心滿意足，骨頭強壯。你必像澆灌的園子，又像水流不絕的泉源。」（以賽亞書58：11）

 Al-Hazm Castle A Beautiful Dwelling Place Al Hazm Castle outside of Rustaq stands out amongst the multitude of Omani forts and castles, due to its intricate architectural detail. It was built in 1708 by Imam Sultan bin Saif al Yarubi, the religious head of the Yarubi dynasty ruling Oman at that time. Although heavily fortified, it served as the Imam’s home, and he was buried there in 1718. The castle is a masterpiece of Islamic architecture as it does not contain any ceiling rafters; rather, the roofs are held up by columns. It features an intricately carved wooden entry door from India, as well beautifully stuccoed interiors. There is a falaj that runs under the castle, providing vital water to the inhabitants. The castle also has a prison, mosque and a madrassah (Quran school). There are also secret tunnels running beneath the castle, and with one connecting to the Rustaq Fort 32 kms (20 miles) away!

美麗的居所
魯斯塔格郊外的哈茲姆城堡因其複雜精巧的建築細節而在眾多阿曼堡壘和城堡中脫穎而出。該城堡由當時統治阿曼的雅魯比王朝的宗教領袖伊瑪目蘇丹·本·賽義夫·雅魯比於1708年建造。雖然防禦嚴密，但這裡是伊瑪目的家，他於1718年被埋葬於此。
這座城堡是伊斯蘭建築的傑作，因為它不包含任何頂棚擱柵；相反，屋頂由柱子支撐。它擁有一扇來自印度的精雕細琢的木制入口門，以及精美的用灰泥粉 飾過的內飾。城堡下方有一條灌溉渠，為居民提供重要的水源。城堡內還有一座監獄、一座清真寺和一所伊斯蘭學校（古蘭經學校）。城堡下方還有秘密隧道，其中一條通往32公里（20英里）外的魯斯塔格堡壘！

 Ripe Fields Praying for the Harvest in Al-Batinah South As you look around right now, wouldn’t you say that in about four months it will be time to harvest? Well, I’m telling you to open your eyes and take a good look at what’s right in front of you. These [Al-Batinah South] fields are ripe. It’s harvest time! (John 4:35–MSG) Al-Batinah South has had limited on-site residence of Kingdom workers. There was a family living in Rustaq for a few years, but they have since moved. Pray for open doors for new people to once again come and live and work. Kingdom workers in other regions do frequently visit and invest in relationships in this region; pray for greater opportunities for those who visit. It is unknown if there are any local believers there. Let’s pray to the Lord of the Harvest, to thrust out more laborers, and to reap much fruit! · We declare that there is a ripe, abundant harvest in Al Batinah South region! · We declare that there is much Good Soil in Al Batinah South that will bear fruit thirty-, sixty-, and a hundred-fold! · We declare open doors for Sowers and Reapers in Al Batinah South! · We declare that seeds sown in the past in Al Batinah South will find good soil, be watered, and grow! · We declare that Harvest time in Al Batinah South is NOW, not later! Worship with us!: We See the Fruitful Harvest by Engage Worship. We praise the Lord of the Harvest in the Omani fields!

為南巴提奈的收割禱告
「你們豈不說『到收割的時候還有四個月』嗎？我告訴你們：舉目向田觀看，【南巴提奈的】莊稼已經熟了，可以收割了。」（約翰福音4：35）
南巴提奈只有有限的國度工人在當地居住。有一家人在魯斯塔格住了幾年，但後來他們搬走了。求主為新人敞開大門，讓他們再次來到這裡生活和工作。其他區域的國度工人確實經常拜訪這裡並在該地區的關係建立上投入；為到訪的人禱告更多的機會。目前尚不清楚那裡是否有當地的信徒。讓我們向豐收之主禱告，求祂差遣更多的工人，收穫更多的果實！
l 我們宣告，南巴提奈行政區將獲得成熟、豐碩的收成！ l 我們宣告，在南巴提奈有許多好土壤，將結出三十倍，六十倍和一百倍的果實！ l 我們宣告，南巴提奈的大門為播種者和收割者敞開！ l 我們宣告，過去在南巴提奈播下的種子，一定會找到好的土壤，得到澆灌，茁壯成長！ l 我們宣告，南巴提奈的收割時間是現在，而不是以後！ 與我們一同敬拜吧！《我們看到碩果累累》（https://youtu.be/PMpM65Ez2hc），參與敬拜團。我們讚美豐收之主在阿曼的莊稼裡收穫滿滿！ 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。」

 Social Media, Part 1 The Attention, Interests, and Connection of the People If you want to know what is important to people in their daily life, look at how they spend their time! Not unlike the rest of the world, (social) media is increasingly important to most Omanis, spending on average 6 hours per day scrolling and posting. Most people in Oman use WhatsApp (even those who are illiterate, thanks to the possibility of sending and receiving voice messages) and likewise, Instagram is huge, used both personally and for business. TikTok is the latest rage, especially amongst the younger generation. Twitter is popular as well, often used for news and communicating events in real time, such as the 2021 employment protests in Sohar. Based on Twitter and Facebook accounts, some of the most popular media figures in Oman are the Saudi activist Ahmad Al Shugairi, the first and (so far) only Omani football star Ali Al-Habsi, and the famous TV host Hamed al-Brashdi حامد البراشدي. Very telling is also the #1 Twitter account in Oman: دعاء (@Du3aa) where you find new Islamic prayer supplications (du'aa) to pray every hour. Many Omanis are also interested in free VPN providers, which can offer them a more or less secure way to surf the internet, unseen by the eyes of the government. "Your heart will be where your treasure is." Matthew 8:21 NCV. We bless Omanis to devote their time, attention, and treasure to You, Jesus! Today, let's pray for social media in Oman: · Many Omanis seek to “shine” through social media. Pray that they will find what they are looking for in Jesus. · Prayer is very important for many Omanis, even the non-obligatory prayers (du'aa). Pray that their supplications will be heard by God and that they will receive clear power, truth and love encounters with Jesus. · Freedom of the press is limited in Oman. As a result, some people don’t know what to trust and are open for all kind of conspiracy theories. Pray that people will not get caught in the web of lies and half-truths that blind their sight. · Via media outreach, Omanis can get in touch with the Word and with Christian messages easier than ever. Pray that these efforts will be richly blessed and that many Omanis will start to think about eternal realities. Worship with us!: You Shine by Chris Tofilon. Jesus, You shine above all others!

民眾的關注、興趣和聯繫
如果你想知道對人們來說日常生活中什麼是重要的，那就看看他們是如何消磨時間吧！與世界其他地方一樣，（社交）媒體對大多數阿曼人來說越來越重要，他們平均每天花6個小時流覽和發佈資訊。大多數阿曼人使用WhatsApp（即使是不能讀寫的人，也可以發送和接收語音資訊），同樣，Instagram也受歡迎，既用於個人生活，也用於商業職場。TikTok是最新的熱潮，尤其是在年輕一代中。Twitter也受歡迎，經常用於新聞和即時傳播事件，例如2021年蘇哈爾的就業抗議活動。
根據Twitter和Facebook帳戶，阿曼最受歡迎的媒體人物包括沙特活動家艾哈邁德·舒楷利（https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ahmad_Al_Shugairi），排行第一也是（迄今為止）唯一一位阿曼足球明星埃里·哈布斯（https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ali_Al-Habsi），以及著名電視節目主持人哈米德·布拉什迪（حامد البراشدي）（https://twitter.com/7albrashdi）。阿曼排名第一的Twitter帳戶：دعاء （@Du3aa）（https://twitter.com/Du3aa）也有非常重大的影響力，你可以在其中找到每小時禱告的新伊斯蘭祈願（都阿）。許多阿曼人也對免費VPN提供商感興趣，這些提供商可以為他們提供一種或多或少安全的上網方式，而不受政府的監視。
「因為你的財寶在哪裡，你的心也在那裡。」馬太福音6：21。我們祝福阿曼人將他們的時間、注意力和財富奉獻給你，耶穌！
今天，讓我們為阿曼的社交媒體禱告：
l 許多阿曼人盼望通過社交媒體「發光」。禱告他們能在耶穌身上找到他們所尋找的東西。 l 對許多阿曼人來說，禱告非常重要，即使是非強制性禱告（都阿）。禱告他們的祈願能被神聽到，並能獲得明確的能力、真理和與耶穌的愛的相遇。 l 阿曼的新聞自由受到管制。因此，有些人不知道該相信什麼，並接受各種陰謀論。禱告人們不會陷入蒙蔽他們雙眼的謊言和半真半假的網羅。 l 通過媒體外展，阿曼人可以比以往更輕鬆地接觸到神的話語和基督信仰的資訊。 禱告這些努力將得到豐厚的賜福，並讓許多阿曼人開始思考永恆的現實。 與我們一同敬拜吧！《你閃耀》（https://youtu.be/wzit_uNrnH4），克里斯·托菲隆。耶穌，你閃耀於萬物之上！ 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。」

 Social Media, Part 2 Wide Nets As much as Omanis use social media (an average of 6 hours per day!), it makes sense to use this medium as a means for sharing the Good News! By posting seeker-targeting ads and content, social media teams spread wide ‘nets’ and sow broadly. And praise God, these social media initiatives are starting to see fruit! Today, let’s pray for the teams (and their various roles) in the region that are running social media content in Oman. · Pray for unity of the Teams. (Philippians 2:2) Pray for spiritual protection of the Teams, including of families, households, visas, personal safety, etc. (Psalm 91) · Pray for wisdom, discernment, and alignment with the Holy Spirit of the team Leaders. (James 1:5) · Pray for the finances of the projects, and for the Finance Managers of the teams. (Philippians 4:19) · Pray for the Technologists, and the smooth running of the technology and communications platforms, and ongoing spiritual covering and protection. (Psalm 5:8) · Pray for the native-Arabic-speaking Digital Responders, for wisdom, discernment, and protection as they respond to seekers’ inquiries. (Philippians 1:9-10) · Pray for the Content Creators and Marketers—for creative strategies for creating and distributing ads and website material that will find and attract seekers. (Proverbs 16:21) · Pray for the Prayer Catalyzers, and for more and more prayer to be raised up for media teams, and for Oman in general. (Revelation 5:8-9) · Pray for the Dispatchers and Coalition Developers, as they coordinate with on-the-ground ‘multipliers’ for in-person meetings with seekers. (1 Corinthians 15:58) · Pray for a solid team of Multipliers in every region of Oman—men and women ready and able to meet with seekers, share with them, and disciple them to make disciples. (2 Timothy 2:2) · Pray for the Local Believers who translate, provide voices, and ensure that content is authentically Omani. Pray for their boldness and protection.

廣撒漁網
阿曼人使用社交媒體的次數很多（平均每天6小時！），因此利用這種媒介作為分享好消息的手段是有意義的！通過發佈針對慕道友的廣告和內容，社交媒體團隊可以廣泛傳播「漁網」。感謝神，這些社交媒體舉措開始見效！
今天，讓我們為在阿曼運營社交媒體內容的地區團隊（及其各個角色）禱告。
l 為團隊的合一禱告。（腓立比書2：2）禱告團隊得到屬靈的保護，包括家人、家庭、簽證、人身安全等。（詩篇91） l 為團隊領袖禱告，有智慧和分辨力，與聖靈的帶領一致。（雅各書1：5） l 為專案的財務狀況和團隊的財務管理者禱告。（腓立比書4：19） l 為技術人員、技術和通訊平台的順利運行以及持續的屬靈遮蓋和保護禱告。（詩篇5：8） l 為以阿拉伯語為母語的網路回應者禱告，在他們回應慕道友的詢問時獲得智慧、分辨力和保護。（腓立比書1：9-10） l 為內容創作者和行銷人員禱告-禱告他們有創造性的策略，創造和分發廣告和網站材料，將找到和吸引慕道友。（箴言16：21） l 為禱告催化者禱告，並且越來越多的人要為媒體團隊和整個阿曼禱告。（啟示錄5：8-9） l 為調度員和聯合開發人員禱告，他們與當地的「倍增者」協調，與慕道友進行面對面的會議。（哥林多前書15：58） l 為阿曼的每個地區都有堅固的倍增者團隊禱告-這些弟兄姊妹準備好並能夠與慕道友見面，與他們分享，並訓練他們以培養門徒。（提摩太後書2：2） l 為當地信徒禱告，他們負責翻譯、提供聲音資源並確保內容是純正的阿曼語。為他們的勇氣和保護禱告。（提摩太後書1：7） 與我們一同敬拜吧！《我喜歡講故事》（https://youtu.be/gLuOz0g8rOA），哈佩思福音四重奏。耶穌，願你的故事在阿曼廣為流傳！ 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。」
