Seeking The Peace Of The Kingdom
Seeking God…..To Rebuild Devastated Cities
To Rebuild Devastated Cities is our prayer focus today. In light of recent events from the devastating floods out east to Japan’s killer-quake and s ubsequent tsunami reaching all the way to our most western cities – it’s time to pray!
With civil uprisings from Cairo to the shores of Tripoli one can’t help but be mindful of Jesus’ end-time discourse in Matthew 24 and Luke 21. Prior to His return Jesus warns that wars and civil wars, famines and earthquakes, violen ce and intolerance would increase. Like the birth pangs of a woman they will increase in frequency and intensity as the return of our Lord approaches.
Lest you think I’m a gloom and doom prophet – let me say how excited I get (maybe enough to shout!) when I read Matthew 24:14, “And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.”
We have the Message! We bring tools of hope and the message of life to rebuild our devastated cities. No one needs to hang their head in fatalistic despair but we can all lift our heads towards a brighter tomorrow in Christ Jesus.
Father, today we pray for those whose lives are in ruin. Empower us to reach out through your love to them spiritually, emotionally and physically. Thank you that our faith in you is unshakable.
