CHURCH ARISE: THE WORLD NEEDS AN ANSWER – A SENSE OF DIRECTION IN IT’S DARKNESS!
“For this reason He says, “AWAKE, sleeper, And ARISE from the dead, And Christ will SHINE [as dawn] upon you and give you light.” 15 Therefore see that you walk carefully [living life with honor, purpose, and courage; shunning those who tolerate and enable evil], not as the unwise, but as wise [sensible, intelligent, discerning people]” Ephesians 5:14-15/Amplified.
It’s time to wake up oh you that sleeps, for God in Christ Jesus will give you lights to enlighten and illuminate your worlds; the question now is – can the Church arise for the good of others in humanity and for such a time of need as today’s world – I meant to the world challenging times everywhere today; for we all wake up daily to hear in the news about WARS and rumours of WARS and failed governments, bad state leadership and corruption, various states of the – hungry, the angry and hurting societies at large. The world needs an answer – and a sense of direction in it’s darkness, which only the saints can provide an awesome.
“If the FOUNDATIONS [of a godly society] are destroyed, WHAT CAN THE RIGHTEOUS DO?” Psalms 11:3/Amplified.
The world is undergoing a search for identity , self-Worth, discovery and answers to some quests with certain generations that are left behind; and the new generation that are springing up are with burning quest, that requires or requiring an answer in many and if not, all the problems that have befallen them in terms: WARS, BAD GOVERNMENT, FAILED LEADERSHIP, VARIOUS PANDEMIC (SICKNESS AND DISEASES), POVERTY, EFFECT OF CLIMATE CHANGES, SPIRITUAL ACTUALISATION, TERRORISM, ECONOMIC AND POLITICAL MISHAP, BROKEN CIVIL AND CIVIC SOCIETY and many such like.
The unstable state of the world from any points of the spectrum, tells of a very failing society with the happenings around especially in some quarters- and this unstable world that is now ravens and craven with wars and hunger and climate changes has brought the greatest oppression, suppression, human hopelessness and displacement, and chaotic immigration ever experience in modern times. And of cause the wars, poverty and insecurity and pandemic effect has greater economic instability in many parts of the worlds. Couldn’t this be a warning sign of the last days for the Church arise and give directions to all the various factions involved.
Suffice to know that we are living in a time today with the greatest acts of hatred, racism, stigma, terrorism, economic mishaps, unsteady democracy, internal and external wars and wickedness and such like, that’s ever known in human history and modern times.
Today every corners of the earth cries out for an ANSWER in the various happenings in each continent in spite of the various actions of various groups united under the umbrella of the UNITED NATION and such like. May I say that until leaders of all groups begins to do the reassessment and address these crises from God’s point of view, I can’t see any acts of human endeavours, financial expenditures and investments, humanitarian demands or such like efforts, that will ANSWER to the FULNESS the QUEST, THIRST and HUNGER and CONFUSION in the human search for self-worth and discovery of been a being.
The human spirit is in crises seeking for an ANSWER to it’s QUEST that comes only from the creator himself; which unfortunately, men are only seeking an ANSWER to it’s QUEST, from the human leadership who can’t fathom it, just as they couldn’t and haven’t’ – in final solution to the continuous MATTERS results to the often economic financial meltdown, pandemic, wars and such like, that’s now a plague in nations today. This is why every efforts today of man, keep failing, because – it’s a human tragedy and it requires first a DIVINE ANSWER before the PHYSICAL resolve result can take place eventually.
Hence, I say today – OH CHURCH ARISE! For you are the righteous ones – the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus stead to stand for the good of humanity under heaven without sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation [2 Corinthians 5:17-21]; there’s a great work to be done from our various nucleus community, and there’s no room for the folding of hands until our nations are healed as in the Bible days of old, with God’s injunction and willingness to heal the land – 2 Chronicles 7:13-15.
