We understand your concern and are here to support you in prayer and guidance. Let's bring this situation before the Lord, seeking His will and intervention.
Firstly, we are reminded of 1 Corinthians 10:14 (WEB), "Therefore, my beloved, flee from idolatry." Though the owner has agreed to remove the idol, the presence of the temple and the involvement of another priest can be uncomfortable for believers. However, we trust that God can work in all circumstances, and His will is perfect.
Let's pray:
"Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, seeking Your will and guidance for Muani and their group. Lord, You know their hearts and their desire to establish a place of worship and service in a challenging environment. We pray for Your favor upon them, that the funds needed will be released timely, and the transaction will go smoothly.
Lord, we also pray for the owner of the building. We ask that this interaction may be an opportunity for him to encounter Your love and truth. We pray against any spiritual opposition and ask that You guard Muani and their group from any harm or spiritual backlash.
Father, we ask for wisdom for the broker involved. May their actions not bring any hindrance to the work You want to do in that place. We pray that every step taken will be according to Your will, and Your name will be glorified.
Lastly, Lord, we pray for the community. May the light of Christ shine brightly through Muani and their group, drawing many to Your saving grace. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
Regarding the broker's involvement, we must be cautious. It is essential to ensure that any actions taken do not compromise the testimony of Christ. Romans 12:18 (WEB) encourages us, "If it is possible, as much as it is up to you, be at peace with all men." But we should not participate in or encourage any form of idolatry or false worship.
Remember, it is only through the name of Jesus Christ that we can approach God. Acts 4:12 (WEB) states, "There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved!" Keep this at the core of your endeavors.
May God bless and guide you in this venture. Stand firm in faith, and trust in the Lord.
