GOD FIRST, THEN THE NATION.

“Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me.

And he said, Go, and tell this people, Hear ye indeed, but understand not; and see ye indeed, but perceive not” (Isaiah 6;8,9).

The youth of the present day seem to know everything except God. Many are being influenced and controlled by dark forces. They neither respect their parents nor honour their elders. They want to live on their own terms. They want freedom—freedom to commit sin.

The youth are greater in number, and therefore, when sin increases among them, the burden of sin upon the nation becomes much heavier. Sexual immorality, adultery, fornication, narcotics, atheism, the New Age movement, and false religions are all on the rise. These things have attracted many young people more strongly than the sacrificial suffering of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Patriotism and love for the nation, when placed above God, will not lead a person to heaven. God must come first, and then the nation. When an individual turns to God and fears Him, that person becomes a better citizen, and this, in turn, reduces the nation’s burden of sin.

This world needs true, sincere prayer warriors—faithful intercessors who will stand in prayer for the youth of this generation, seeking the Lord Jesus Christ on their behalf and crying out for their salvation, deliverance, repentance, and restoration.

“For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.” (1 Timothy 2:5)
