Is Fiji in the Bible? Bible Study & Prayer for Fiji

Fiji is not named in the Bible. It is a nation of many islands in the South Pacific, with mountains, beaches and coral reefs, home to Fijians and to people whose families came from India and other lands. Scripture speaks to such places: "Let them give glory to Yahweh, and declare his praise in the islands" (Isaiah 42:12).

A land of many peoples fits what Paul wrote about the family of God: "There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free man, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus" (Galatians 3:28). Yahweh made every people, and He calls all of them into one family through His Son.

How to pray for Fiji: Give thanks for its people. Ask Yahweh to give its leaders wisdom, honesty and a heart for every community (1 Timothy 2:1–2). Pray for unity and peace among its peoples, for families to have provision, and for protection in cyclones and storms. Pray that believers and congregations walk in love, and that the name of Jesus (Yeshua) is honored on every island.

Most often we don't know what to pray in a given situation, much less for something as large and complicated as a whole nation and all its people. Scripture says it plainly: "we don't know how to pray as we ought. But the Spirit himself makes intercession for us" (Romans 8:26). Praying in tongues lets the Holy Spirit perfectly pray Yahweh's will through us for Fiji and its peoples. Learn more in Prayer in the Spirit.
