  • 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)

  • GROW CLOSER TO GOD

    As you grow closer to God, you will begin to see His hand working in every area of your life. At one point in your journey, when you look around, you may realise that He has blessed you in ways you never imagined, everything you truly needed, according to His perfect will.

    Our Lord Jesus said, “Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.” (Matthew 6:33)

    The closer you draw to your Heavenly Father, the more you experience His love, His peace, His guidance, and His grace. He knows what is best for you, and when He has planned something for your life, He will bring it to pass in His perfect time.

    “Delight thyself also in the LORD; and He shall give thee the desires of thine heart.” (Psalm 37:4)

    If God has planned it for you, no one can take it away from you. His plans are higher than our plans, and His ways are higher than our ways.

    “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.” (Jeremiah 29:11)

    So, grow closer to Jesus. Spend time with Him. Seek Him before you seek anything else. Trust His timing, follow His guidance, and surrender your plans to Him.

    “Draw nigh to God, and He will draw nigh to you.” (James 4:8)

    And as you walk closely with Him, watch how He transforms your life, not merely by giving you earthly blessings, but by filling your heart with His peace, His wisdom, His presence, and His abundant grace.

    “Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think.” (Ephesians 3:20)

    Draw closer to Jesus, and let Him choose what is best for your life. His choice is always better than ours.
