*The Gravity of Repentance in Healing Our Land



"According to all that I show you, that is the pattern of the tabernacle, and of all its furniture, just so you shall make it." - Exodus 25:9


Repentance in our land carries immense expectations and demands. To stand before God on behalf of the people, one must first stand before Him personally.


Reflect on the revelations God has given you, the notes you've taken. Are you building according to His pattern? This is the path to repentance.


Healing our land requires adherence to God's design. Murdering or fine-tuning the picture He gave you will hinder repentance. (2 Chronicles 7:11-22, Proverbs 28:13, Deuteronomy 21:18-22, Romans 6:1-5, 10:9-10, Luke 3:17)


Repentance is an action word, necessitating confession and forsaking. Surrender your stubbornness and rebelliousness to Jesus, our land's Elder.


Understanding God's laws and wisdom is crucial. This transformation begins with each of us, called by God, through daily repentance. No one can save themselves, but we must demonstrate our responsibility through confession and forsaking.


Prayer and fasting alone won't eradicate wickedness; repentance, an action word, builds the land. Bear fruit, take power from wickedness, and confess and forsake to uproot it.


As Solomon, to whom the Lord instructed to build, have we not strayed from His instructions? Our land's healing is delayed because we haven't followed His pattern.


Publicly acknowledge wickedness. Let's embark on a new journey to change the water's source and make it sweet again.


Humble yourself, ask God to search your heart, and reveal:


- Neglected covenants, promises, and commitments

- Areas where you've deviated from His instructions


Seek mercy and help to rebuild according to His pattern.


May we repent, confess, and forsake, healing our land and restoring God's glory. Amen

Great Turn Around

Image
*Philippians 3:1-10; 2 Corinthians 4:16* As we delve into the scriptures, we find a remarkable example of a great turnaround experience in the life of Apostle Paul. His transformation from a zealous persecutor of Christians to a passionate follower of Jesus Christ is a testament to the power of faith. In Philippians 3:9, Apostle Paul emphasizes the key factor in experiencing a great turnaround: Faith. It is not merely knowing the doctrine about God but having an experiential knowledge of Him. To effect a great turnaround, we must: 1. Know the Lord experimentally (Philippians 3:9) 2. Experience the power of resurrection (Romans 4:25, 1 Corinthians 15:17) 3. Participate in the fellowship of His suffering (Colossians 1:24, 2 Timothy 2:11) 4. Be conformed to His death (Romans 8:29, Galatians 2:20) 5. Attain to His resurrection (Philippians 3:20-21) Paul's journey serves as a case study for us. As we go through these stages, we too can experience a great turnaround in our lives. *Prayer...

CONNECTING TO THE LIFTER OF HEADS

Image
In Psalm 3:1-3 and 1 Samuel 2:7, we're reminded that God is the lifter of heads. He has a history of elevating individuals from humble beginnings to positions of power and influence. Let's look at a few examples: - Joseph became the prime minister - Abraham became the father of nations - Aaron became a priest - Esther became a queen - David, a shepherd boy, became a king - Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego became relevant Only God can lift someone from the dungeon to a place of prominence. Divine lifting means receiving favor from both God and men (Proverbs 3:4). It's about moving from debt to prosperity (2 Samuel) and from the tail to the head (Deuteronomy 28:14). When we seek the kingdom of God, we're automatically connected to the lifter of heads, and He will lift us up (1 Samuel 2:7). So, what do we receive when we connect to the lifter of heads? - Turnaround for favor - Fantastic elevation - Victory, even when undeserved - Mockers changed to promoters - Surprising bl...

The Power of Choice: A Deciding Tool in Destiny

Image
The power of choice is a fundamental gift from God, woven into the fabric of human existence. From the beginning, God granted humanity the freedom to choose, as seen in the Garden of Eden with Adam and Eve (Genesis 2:16-17). This ability to choose is what distinguishes humans from other creatures, allowing us to reflect God’s image (Genesis 1:27). Biblically, our choices carry profound consequences. Deuteronomy 30:19 emphasizes this when God sets before Israel “life and death, blessings and curses,” urging them to choose life. This highlights that while God offers guidance, the decision rests with us. Proverbs 3:5-6 further teaches the importance of trusting in God’s wisdom rather than leaning on our understanding when making choices. The New Testament continues this theme. In Matthew 7:13-14, Jesus speaks of two paths—one leading to life, the other to destruction—illustrating the eternal significance of our decisions. Galatians 6:7-8 warns that we reap what we sow, emphasizing that ou...
