  • 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)

  • DARKNESS, GUILT & SHEPHERD’S SACRIFICE.

    When you commit a grave sin—whether in secret or in public—you feel the resulting guilt, which the devil then uses to torment you.

    When Judas Iscariot betrayed our Lord Jesus Christ, he succumbed to this diabolical torment. By submitting wholly to the voices he heard, he was denied repentance and led to take his own life.

    When you yield to the whisper, you become possessed and indulge in that sin.

    Satan, within you, can you ask anyone to follow you?

    Our Lord Jesus Christ died for all our sins. He hung on that cruel cross for six hours, and He was put to shame to save us.

    He is the Great Shepherd, and yet He created Hell.

  • ABSTAIN FROM ALL APPEARANCE OF EVIL

    Sin enters through the eyes and captures the mind. Sin torments. Sin brings a generational curse. Sin destroys the peace. Sin stains the soul and the spirit. Sin hurts God. Sin brings a gulf between oneself and God.

    Knowingly, if we commit sin, we kindle the anger of the Lord, and He will surely punish. He neither slumbers nor sleeps. He knows our thoughts, and the deeds are open to the Heavens. From the Heaven our dwelling looks transparent as though it’s constructed out of transparent glass. We can’t hide from Him. His eyes penetrate deep down the sea.

    Let’s watch and pray. Stay away from all that are ungodly.

    Abhor all that are evil.

    “But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost, Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life” (Jude 20,21).

    “And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ” (1 Thessalonians 5:23).

    “It is of the LORD’s mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not” (Lamentations 3:22).
