REACHING OUT – TO THE NATIONS: LET’S PRAY AS THE PSALMIST!
Be a VESSEL of USE and of CHANGE, CREATION and INNOVATION in the KINGDOM and for humanity good and goodness; and not as an ORNAMENT or IDOL. It’s as a VESSEL in USE, that we can keep the ENEMY and COHORTS at bay; and in turn, ADVANCE the good and goodness of others through the Kingdom causes of our God, in His BLESSEDNESS, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.
Let’s PRAY together after this PSALMIST act of PRAYER:
“O God, in mercy bless us; let your face beam with joy as you look down at us. 2 Send us around the world with the news of your saving power and your eternal plan for all mankind. 3 How everyone throughout the earth will praise the Lord! 4 How glad the nations will be, singing for joy because you are their King and will give true justice to their people! 5 Praise God, O world! May all the peoples of the earth give thanks to you. 6-7 For the earth has yielded abundant harvests. God, even our own God, will bless us. And peoples from remotest lands will worship him” (Psalms 67 – LB).
Thanks for taking time to personalised the prayer for the good and goodness of the nation as a vessel in use and of change, innovation, creativity and such like. For you are God’s ambassador in Christ Jesus stead. Ensure it from where you are into the ends of the earth.
SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:
“And this GOSPEL of the kingdom shall be PREACHED in all the WORLD for a witness unto all NATIONS; and then shall the end come” Matthew 24:14.
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God” John 3:16-18.
“Nevertheless the FOUNDATION of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity. 20 But in a great house there are not only VESSELS of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to HONOUR, and some to DISHONOUR. 21 If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a VESSEL unto HONOUR, SANCTIFIED, and meet for the master’s use, and PREPARED unto every good work” 2 Timothy 2:19-21.
“Therefore IF ANY MAN be in Christ, he is a NEW CREATURE (CREATION): old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. 18 And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; 19 to wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath COMMITTED UNTO US THE WORD OF RECONCILIATION. 20 NOW THEN WE ARE AMBASSADORS FOR CHRIST, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to God. 21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him” 2 Corinthians 5:17-21.
“A WICKED MESSENGER falleth into mischief: but a FAITHFUL AMBASSADOR is HEALTH” Proverbs 13:17.
“Thus saith the Lord, thy redeemer, and he that formed thee from the womb, I am the Lord that maketh all things; that stretcheth forth the heavens alone; that spreadeth abroad the earth by myself; 25 that frustrateth the tokens of the liars, and maketh diviners mad; that turneth wise men backward, and maketh their knowledge foolish; 26 that CONFIRMETH the WORD of his SERVANT, and PERFORMETH the COUNSEL of his MESSENGERS . . .” Isaiah 44:24-28.
“Yea, so have I strived to PREACH THE GOSPEL, not where Christ was NAMED, lest I should BUILD upon another MAN’S FOUNDATION: 21 but as it is written, To whom he was not spoken of, they shall see: and they that have not heard shall understand” Romans 15:21.
