"The things which are impossible with men are possible with
God." (Luke 18:27)
Right
now you and I are standing face-to-face with situations in our nation that need
to be changed. Some of those
situations
look totally impossible. But they're not. Because this country belongs to God.
He's
the One Who brought your country into existence. He had a special purpose for
it. He needed a country where the gospel could be preached freely and not
suppressed.
It
was God Himself Who stirred the heart and mind of Christopher Columbus and
planted within him the dream of charting a new course to the West. Columbus
said so in his own journals. He wrote: "It was the Lord Who put into my
mind--I could feel His hand upon me--the fact that I could sail from here to the
Indies. All who heard of my project
rejected
it with laughter, ridiculing me. There's no question that the inspiration was
from the Holy Spirit because He
comforted
me with rays of marvellous inspiration from the Holy Scriptures."
Who
brought Christopher Columbus to America? God brought him. This is God's nation.
He raised it up, and it's not going to be taken away from Him.
Who
brought Thomas to India ? God brought him. This too is God’s country. Who took
the disciples and thousand other missionaries to various countries of this
planet. God did. Your country also belongs to God.
The
next time you're tempted to look at situations in your country as impossible,
remember Who it belongs to. Then you can discover, claim and redeem your
country just like other giants of faith did for Christ.
Every
nation and every tribe belongs to God, every knee shall bow and every tongue
confess that Jesus is Lord. But you and me have a certain role to play, to
stand in the gap and pray for the nation and take action to extend His Kingdom
in ways He is calling us to do. God Bless you and empower you to glorify
His name in your city and nation. Amen.
