For God to Heal our Nation – Pathways to Organization

    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

    Nothing can bring us more hope and joy than to know God hears us when we call to him. He promises that when we humble ourselves and confess sin, he will hear us, and on top of that, he forgives our sins and heals our land.

    After Solomon dedicated the temple, the Lord appeared to him, warned him, reassured him, and told him that he had heard Solomon’s prayer and that this temple had been chosen for sacrifices and for His glory.

    However, if the people begin to follow other gods, God will send judgment through drought, locusts, pestilence, or other countries destroying them. What is so sad is the Israelites did follow other gods, and God brought other nations to destroy them and their city.

    In 2 Chronicles 7:19-22, God says, “But if you turn away and forsake the decrees and command I have given you and go off to serve other gods and worship them, then I will uproot Israel from my land, which I have given them, and will reject this temple I have consecrated for my Name. … Because they have forsaken the Lord, the God of their ancestors, who brought them out of Egypt, and have embraced other gods, worshiping and serving them – that is why he brought all this disaster on them.” God means business when we worship ourselves and reject His Word.

    So, how does this apply to us? We must look around us and see how fewer people follow the Lord. Most of the world has many idols and gods they serve rather than God, the creator of the whole universe. No matter who you are, if we forget to prioritize God and don’t humble ourselves daily to serve him and follow his will, he will let destruction come into our lives.

    God loves you so much. He sent Jesus to teach us the good news. Please don’t let the world take you away from his love. Fall on your face before God and follow him. It’s a choice that will change your life. And it will change your city and nation.

    Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord. Psalm 33:12

        The Worth of Words – Pathways to Organization

        Here are some Bible verses about the power of words: Ephesians 4:29: Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen. A famous quote from Maya Angelou says, “I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” Let’s celebrate the Love Month of February with words of love and kindness. Manna from Heaven I pray these verses will bless you as you speak to your loved ones: Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight, O LORD, my rock and my redeemer.

        God is the Light – Pathways to Organization

        As it turned out, He was prepared to do just that through another king, one who was a ‘man after his own heart’ (I Samuel 13:1), King David, and later his own son, Jesus. Action Plan We are now asking ourselves, “How do we move forward?” First, we follow our God, the Shephard, who cares for His bride, the church. We need to remember what God promised us in Jeremiah 29:11, “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” God will stand with us as we navigate this season of great sadness.
