Intercede for Your City (II)
If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land. 2 Chronicles 7:14
Bible Reading: 2 Kings 2: 19-22
Yesterday we considered the need to intercede for others, including our spiritual and political leaders, our leaders at workplace or school. The reason it is important that we intercede for these group of people is that their decisions impact us directly or indirectly and if we fail to pray for them it is possible they lead us astray. Jesus said in Luke 6:39 “And he spake a parable unto them, Can the blind lead the blind? shall they not both fall into the ditch?” Hence, we must pray that our leaders be filled with both insight and foresight as they lead us, also we must pray for our leaders to be God-fearing. When the leaders are God-fearing and they love their followers, the city will be peaceful. If you are occupying a leadership position, never stop praying for divine wisdom and protection.
Our Bible reading for today is an example of a people who were passionate about the peace and prosperity of their city, Jordan. They asked God’s servant Elisha to pray for the healing of their city because the water was bad and the land was barren (unproductive). If the water is bad, that suggests that sickness will be prevalent in that city, also, there will be diverse kinds of famine if the land is unproductive. Barrenness, lack of food, death will become the order of the day. God healed the city of Jordan and He reversed their terrible situation. Dear friends, rather than complaining about your current locale, pray. Talk to God about your boss, your children’s teachers, your country, the world at large. Prayer changes all things and God can turn things around in your favor too.
“If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land”. 2 Chronicles 7:14
Action point: Please go ahead and pray.
Intercessory prayer: Ask that the blood of Jesus sanctify all nations of the world from every plague and disease ravaging human lives. Decree God’s peace upon your country, state, city, church, work and school.
Song: Prayer is the key, prayer is the key
Prayer is the master key,
Jesus started with prayer
And ended with prayer
Prayer is the master key.
