Day 4
Repent for failure of Christians to season the land as salt and maintain Godly standard of morality and truth. (Deut 21:1-8; Psa 74:1-23)
Matt. 5: 13 – 16 Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men. Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
- Acts 13: 47 - For so hath the Lord commanded us, saying,I have set thee to be a light of the Gentiles, that thou shouldest be for salvation unto the ends of the earth.
The Lord commanded Christians to shine as light to the Gentiles. In Nigeria today, despite having millions of Christians, immorality, perversion and all manners of abominations fill the land. We repent for the failure to be light in Nigeria. - Malachi 2: 15 -And did not he make one? Yet had he the residue of the spirit. And wherefore one? That he might seek a godly seed. Therefore take heed to your spirit, and let none deal treacherously against the wife of his youth.
God ordained marriage so that Godly seeds can come forth. Today, there is rebellion, crime, immorality among the youths, even in the Church. We need to repent of our failure to raise Godly seed in the land. Without Godly seeds, there is no Godly future for the land. - Leviticus 18: 24 – 26 Defile not ye yourselves in any of these things: for in all these the nations are defiled which I cast out before you: 25And the land is defiled: therefore I do visit the iniquity thereof upon it, and the land itself vomiteth out her inhabitants. 26Ye shall therefore keep my statutes and my judgments, and shall not commit anyof these abominations; neitherany of your own nation, nor any stranger that sojourneth among you:
Homosexuality, lesbianism and other perversions are creeping into the country while the Church has no Godly response. In the last episode of the international lewd Big Brother show, all the participants reportedly identified as Christians. The Church has failed to teach holiness and sanctification. May God forgive this also. - 54: 13 - And all thy children shall betaught of the LORD; and great shall bethe peace of thy children.
The Church may have been building Godly seeds through education, like the early missionaries. Sadly, we have seen education more as business than as a missionary field, often charging fees that many in the church cannot afford. - Isaiah 9: 6 - For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
The Government upon the shoulder represents the Body of Christ. Rather than provide Godly leadership for Nigeria, we have helped the anti-Christ to rule the country. Now the land is in agony and the Church has no answer. May we repent of every evil political decision taken by Christians that has brought destruction to Nigeria. - Acts 10: 38 How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.
Jesus went about doing good. The poor and the needy in the land are not feeling the positive impact of the Church. We have not been the salt we should be. May God be merciful unto us.
Acts 5: 11 And great fear came upon all the church, and upon as many as heard these things.
Rather than conduct Christianity in a manner that will compel people to fear God, Christianity has become a joke in Nigeria, and comedians make fun of God.
May we repent our misrepresentation of God. - Any other prayer point as led by the Spirit.
