Topic : That Our Land May Be Healed.
Memory Verse : Joel 2:1. Blow the trumpet in Zion; sound the alarm on my holy hill. Let all who live in the land tremble, for the day of the Lord is coming. It is close at hand—
Bible Reading :Joel 2:2-4 NIV. Key Verse: v2.
a day of darkness and gloom, a day of clouds and blackness. Like dawn spreading across the mountains a large and mighty army comes, such as never was in ancient times nor ever will be in ages to come. Before them fire devours, behind them a flame blazes. Before them the land is like the garden of Eden, behind them, a desert waste— nothing escapes them. They have the appearance of horses; they gallop along like cavalry.
As people of God, we need to understand how our God behaves or his mode of operation as to relate effectively. In every generation, the people determines what happens to them based on their relationship with their creator and God, weather they know it or not. The Lord has given the earth to man, so all that happens on earth in any environment, even in cities and nations of the earth depends on what man does with the trust God bestowed on him as to commit the earth and every other creatures in it to be under his control. ”But there is a place where someone has testified: “What is mankind that you are mindful of them, a son of man that you care for him? You made them a little lower than the angels; you crowned them with glory and honor and put everything under their feet.” In putting everything under them, God left nothing that is not subject to them. Yet at present we do not see everything subject to them.” Hebrews 2:6-8.
A day of the Lord supposed to be a day of blessing and joy, when men do what is right. Such day is a day God chooses to respond to men and their attitude towards him. Men can therefore celebrate God’s goodness in a day of his visitation only when we obey and serve him. On the other hand, when men live in rebellion to God and his instructions and commandments, they incure God’s wrath upon themselves, and by their own ways turn the day of the Lord into a day of gloom, darkness and pain. Sometimes when you look at the crop of believers we have today including our leaders, you will see the reason the world is troubled. People including leaders who chart the course for others to follow walk in outright rebellion to the voice of God and expect things to work well at last. “The wicked is driven away in his wickedness: but the righteous hath hope in his death. Wisdom resteth in the heart of him that hath understanding: but that which is in the midst of fools is made known.
Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people.” Proverbs 14:32-34 KJV.
Our nation and many nations today are suffering because of failure of kingdom leadership. When people in the church cannot discern the move of their God because of sentiments that becloud kingdom interest. When men who speak God’s mind becomes unpopular and prophets who speak to get attention of the people in the palace are celebrated for telling men just what they want to hear, the day of the Lord becomes a problem and gloomy. The solution today is for us to repent before the Lord for our continuous rebellion to the Lord so that our land could be healed. “Even now,” declares the Lord, “return to me with all your heart, with fasting and weeping and mourning.” Rend your heart and not your garments. Return to the Lord your God, for he is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and abounding in love, and he relents from sending calamity. Who knows? He may turn and relent and leave behind a blessing— grain offerings and drink offerings for the Lord your God.” Joel 2:12-14.
Prayer :Thank you Father God for entrusting your earth to the control of men. Father, today we come before you as a people in repentance. We repent of every visitations of pain and gloom we activated through our greed rebellion from your presence. In your mighty mercy, heal our land that we may glorify and serve you with joy in Jesus wonderful name…. Amen 🙏🏿.
Yearly Bible Reading : Judges 6:1-40.
