A CALL FOR NATIONAL REPENTANCE.
A CALL FOR NATIONAL REPENTANCE.
Early this year 2020, the Lord laid a burden in my heart to pray extensively and diversely.
I took it upon myself to pray earnestly to God, to perfect His word in me and entire family, His Church and others. I prayed generally for the entire nations of the world. I searched to know the population of each continent of the world, praying earnestly with great burden and with tears flowing down my eyes for the salvation of souls and the revival of God's people.
I told my family and brethren and encouraged them to pray in that direction.
At the cause of the prayers the Lord made me to know that the day's are evil by intermittently referring me to (Eph 5:16.) almost on daily basis, at intervals.
"Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.
I wondered the evil that was about to happen and decided not to take chances, hence I prayed offensively and defensively, making requests by intercessions and supplications. I requested from the Lord to speak to me. One of the nights of prayers, I heard a still small voice that distinctly referred me to ps65:5.
By terrible things in righteousness wilt thou answer us, O God of our salvation; who art the confidence of all the ends of the earth, and of them that are afar off upon the sea:
Men and brethren pulse a little. You got that? God answers sometimes "by terrible things in righteousness". take note, Yes it's terrible, It may not appear to be righteousness, yet God chooses whatsoever method, to answer prayers.
It sounds difficult to understand.
God is in charge, no power can overthrow Him. He knows the end from the beginning.
History made us to understand that despite the fact that God loves the world (John3:16)and has no interest that the wicked should perish, yet sometimes he allows plagues, pestilence, viruses etc to sweep people away from the surface of the earth, because of the wickedness of the son's of men.
Consider:
If I shut up heaven that there be no rain, or if I command the locusts to devour the land, or if I send pestilence among my people;
[14] If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
"The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptation and reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished:
The Lord hath made all things for himself: yea, even the wicked for the day of evil.
The word of God is true. We are in the last days.
Apart from the present evils the world is experiencing, bible students knows that greater evils are yet to come on the inhabitants of this planet earth. It shall be well to the righteous.
CONSEQUENCIES FOR SIN
[14]Afterward Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto him, Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee.
[5]For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.
[6]Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience.
[7]Be not ye therefore partakers with them.
THE SYSTEM
God in this present day has a systematic way of paying all accordingly. He rules by the power of his word which unfailing, sure and steadfast. God can never compromise his standard.
[7]Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
[8]For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting."
[21]Though hand join in hand, the wicked shall not be unpunished: but the seed of the righteous shall be delivered.
SOLUTION OF SIN
[21]And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins."
[9]If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."
[12]But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
A CALL FOR NATIONAL REPENTANCE:
The only way to escape the impending judgment of God is for individuals, nations, (circular and sacred) Leaders of the people to heartily repent from their evil ways, turn to the Loving God, surrender to Him and instruct the people under them to do likewise.
EG.Let's read:
For thus saith the Lord unto the house of Israel, Seek ye me, and ye shall live:
[5] But seek not Beth-el, nor enter into Gilgal, and pass not to Beer-sheba: for Gilgal shall surely go into captivity, and Beth-el shall come to nought.
[6] Seek the Lord, and ye shall live; lest he break out like fire in the house of Joseph, and devour it, and there be none to quench it in Beth-el.
[7] Ye who turn judgment to wormwood, and leave off righteousness in the earth,
[8] Seek him that maketh the seven stars and Orion, and turneth the shadow of death into the morning, and maketh the day dark with night: that calleth for the waters of the sea, and poureth them out upon the face of the earth: The Lord is his name:
[9] That strengtheneth the spoiled against the strong, so that the spoiled shall come against the fortress.
[10] They hate him that rebuketh in the gate, and they abhor him that speaketh uprightly.
[11] Forasmuch therefore as your treading is upon the poor, and ye take from him burdens of wheat: ye have built houses of hewn stone, but ye shall not dwell in them; ye have planted pleasant vineyards, but ye shall not drink wine of them.
[12] For I know your manifold transgressions and your mighty sins: they afflict the just, they take a bribe, and they turn aside the poor in the gate from their right.
[13] Therefore the prudent shall keep silence in that time; for it is an evil time.
[14] Seek good, and not evil, that ye may live: and so the Lord, the God of hosts, shall be with you, as ye have spoken.
[15] Hate the evil, and love the good, and establish judgment in the gate: it may be that the Lord God of hosts will be gracious unto the remnant of Joseph.
[16] Therefore the Lord, the God of hosts, the Lord, saith thus; Wailing shall be in all streets; and they shall say in all the highways, Alas! alas! and they shall call the husbandman to mourning, and such as are skilful of lamentation to wailing.
[17] And in all vineyards shall be wailing: for I will pass through thee, saith the Lord.
[18] Woe unto you that desire the day of the Lord ! to what end is it for you? the day of the Lord is darkness, and not light.
[19] As if a man did flee from a lion, and a bear met him; or went into the house, and leaned his hand on the wall, and a serpent bit him.
[20] Shall not the day of the Lord be darkness, and not light? even very dark, and no brightness in it?
[21] I hate, I despise your feast days, and I will not smell in your solemn assemblies.
[22] Though ye offer me burnt offerings and your meat offerings, I will not accept them : neither will I regard the peace offerings of your fat beasts.
[23] Take thou away from me the noise of thy songs; for I will not hear the melody of thy viols.
[24] But let judgment run down as waters, and righteousness as a mighty stream.
[25] Have ye offered unto me sacrifices and offerings in the wilderness forty years, O house of Israel?
[26] But ye have borne the tabernacle of your Moloch and Chiun your images, the star of your god, which ye made to yourselves.
[27] Therefore will I cause you to go into captivity beyond Damascus, saith the Lord, whose name is The God of hosts.
God is neither a tyrant nor a dictator, he loves righteousness and hates wickedness, and cannot by any means acquit the wicked except he/she repent.
The Lord is slow to anger, and great in power, and will not at all acquit the wicked : the Lord hath his way in the whirlwind and in the storm, and the clouds are the dust of his feet.
Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord God, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel?
THE WAY TO REPENTANCE:
First, believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. He has a very wonderful plans for you.
For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.
"But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us."
ADMITTANCE OF SIN
God wants you to humble yourself, own up, admit that you have sinned against Him and against your fellow humans.
For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin is ever before me."
Proverbs 28:13
[13]He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy."
"For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;"
'For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord."
REPENTANCE FROM SIN
God wants you to repent from all your sins, now, don't postpone it, because this is the time acceptable. No body bought ticket for tomorrow God has it all.
"Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord;"
Take words and go to God in prayers . Confess your sins to God, ask him to forgive you.
1 John 1:9
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
Invite Jesus, welcome and accept Him into your life to be your Lord and Saviour.
"Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me."
John 1:12
"But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:"
If you have done the needful as enjoined above, believe that you are saved, God has forgiven you, cleansed you from all unrighteousness and have accepted you as His dear child.
"For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:"
"For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved."
If you are a backsliders God said you should return to him likewise.
Return, ye backsliding children, and I will heal your backslidings. Behold, we come unto thee; for thou art the Lord our God.
Congratulations, welcome into God's own family.
For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
[15] "Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named,"
Peace.
I love you
