Good morning,
Brother Thomas Ukwute and Jody Ward co-authored today's writing titled, IF MY PEOPLE. They used two Old Testament scriptures to anchor their theme that shows that God has been looking for righteous people who would answer His call to protect the countries facing challenges that have needed willing guards for the land. Brother Thomas listed some terrible things that are happening in Nigeria and asked for prayer. He also listed the ills that need prayer in the United States. These lists could be saved and become areas that we pray about. Jody wrote,".May God find you dependable and a channel through which He can reach this dark world for His Kingdom." (and she wrote a sentence that summarized the promise of God to those who pray.) Jody continued, "I’ll be there, ready for them, to hear, to listen, to forgive and restore their land to health."
Have a Thursday that is well spent with prayer for the countries of the World.
God bless
Corinne, Brother Thomas, and Jody
IF MY PEOPLE
Then the Lord said to
me, “I searched for a man among the people who would build up the walls. I
looked for someone who would stand before Me where the walls are broken and
repair the defenses, the walls of righteousness that guard the land.
I sought someone to
stand in the breach of the broken wall and defend the people. For the sake of
the land, I looked for a man or woman to stand in the gap before Me. I looked
in vain for anyone who would stand for Me where the walls are broken, on behalf
of the nation and to protect them, so that I would not have to destroy it, but
I did not find anyone.
Not even
one.”
Ezekiel 22:30
We have a mandate to
take the good news to the ends of the earth. We have a directive to stand in
the breach for righteousness. We are compelled by God to repair the broken with
the message of Jesus, our hope and our glory.
Dearest friends, this is
a trumpet call to prayer for the salvation of millions of souls out there who
have never heard, or responded to, the message that Jesus died for them.
Wherever you go today,
whatever you do, remember that your five minutes of prayer can impact your
world and save so many lost souls.
Now, as you are reading,
just pause here, and spend the next five minutes praying for someone to
hear today, and answer the call of, the good news of salvation. Pray for the
Holy Spirit to exhibit His power and express God’s will in our churches. Pray
for a spirit of holiness to be restored to our churches again.
Pray for both our
nations. Pray that the leaders of our nation, state, local government and
community leaders to begin to seek God and govern for the good of their
subjects. Pray they will humble themselves to be servants of the people and
wise leaders.
.May God find you
dependable and a channel through which He can reach this dark world for His
Kingdom.
Then if My people, my
God-defined people who are called by My name, respond by humbling themselves
and praying with sorrow, I will hear them from heaven. If they react with
prayer, searching for me, seeking My presence, craving righteousness and
turning their backs on sin and their wicked ways, then I will forgive their sin
and surely heal their land.
I’ll be there, ready for
them, to hear, to listen, to forgive and restore their land to health.
2 Chronicles 7:14
