Father of many Nations
“I have made you a father of many nations.” Gen 17:5. As the
word of God says we are called to inherit this promise through the
righteousness that comes by faith. Calling of a ‘Father’ is filled with great
qualities such as caring for the children, looking after the family (husband,
wife, parents, siblings), financial needs, health, protecting them from
dangers, providing a Vision for the future of next generation and contributing
to the goodness of the society. God has set high hopes on us and has called us
to be as Father of many Nations, then why should we ever lower ourselves from
that thought. We might say, “What heading a Nation and me.. quiet impossible”.
But it is time for us to realize that God has chosen us for a greater purpose.
Scope is enlarged
We are often used to focus on our petty needs rather than
increasing our scope from my house to my family, to my city, to my nation and
the world (many nations). Hence, let us Quit Fighting over small things of the
self which we don’t have and start praying for Nations. God has called us to
take greater responsibilities and heal the Nations with His Love. When we
understand that the work we do also has an impact globally, the amount of
importance increases drastically. Until we don’t get this big picture view, our
work will be filled with much of self-centered, short-sighted goals which does
not add more value to the Big picture.
Mission
God has picked us for a mission on this earth. We have been
saved to save the Nations by taking the gospel to the ends of the earth. (Matt
24:14). And remember, It is only through You and me. As Cain was held
responsible for his brother, likewise we are called to pray for our brothers
and sisters at workplace with God’s loving care. God says, “if my people, who
are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face..” (I
Chronicles 7:14) for their brothers and sisters at workplace, He will grant us.
‘Vision 100+’ and establish fellowships across Nations.
“you are a chosen people, a
royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare
the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light..”
1 Peter 2:9
