Do you know that as a believer in the one True God, you have a responsibility to pray for your brothers and sisters on earth?
Do you know that the future of this world literally depends on whether you pray and repent before God?
We live in such critical and decisive times today.
Believers in Christ must understand and act upon their responsibilities now more than ever!
Yes! You, believer in Jesus Christ, have a say in how world events unfold!
There is a balance of Mercy and Judgment in this world.
God’s Judgment and punishment is accelerated in the world by sin.
God’s Mercy is brought to the world by repentance.
When sin is rampant, this accelerates and brings about God’s just punishments.
Listen to this very, very carefully:
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 7:13-14)
God’s righteous punishments can only be averted by REPENTANCE!
You have the responsibility to repent of your wicked ways!
You have the responsibility to be prayer warriors!
You have the responsibility to be intercessors!
You have the responsibility to bring God’s word of salvation to others!
You have the responsibility to teach those who do not know God!
You have the responsibility to be examples of righteousness, holiness, compassion, forgiveness and mercy to others!
Are you doing this?
If the world strays from God, it is because you, believers in Christ, did not pray, repent and humble yourselves before God!
This is a great responsibility indeed!
The time is SO SHORT!
Time is SO PRECIOUS right now!
This time is given us to REPENT!
Then Jesus told them, “You are going to have the light just a little while longer. Walk while you have the light, before darkness overtakes you. Whoever walks in the dark does not know where they are going. (John 12:35)
When the prophet Jonah warned the people of Nineveh that they would be destroyed by God if they did not repent, the people of Nineveh repented and God spared them from calamity!
Then the word of the Lord came to Jonah a second time: “Go to the great city of Nineveh and proclaim to it the message I give you.”
Jonah obeyed the word of the Lord and went to Nineveh. Now Nineveh was a very large city; it took three days to go through it. Jonah began by going a day’s journey into the city, proclaiming, “Forty more days and Nineveh will be overthrown.” The Ninevites believed God. A fast was proclaimed, and all of them, from the greatest to the least, put on sackcloth.
When Jonah’s warning reached the king of Nineveh, he rose from his throne, took off his royal robes, covered himself with sackcloth and sat down in the dust. This is the proclamation he issued in Nineveh:
“By the decree of the king and his nobles:
Do not let people or animals, herds or flocks, taste anything; do not let them eat or drink. But let people and animals be covered with sackcloth. Let everyone call urgently on God. Let them give up their evil ways and their violence. Who knows? God may yet relent and with compassion turn from his fierce anger so that we will not perish.”
When God saw what they did and how they turned from their evil ways, He relented and did not bring on them the destruction He had threatened. (Jonah 3:1-10)
I tell you, now is the time of God’s favor, now is the day of salvation! (2 Corinthians 6:2)
It is time to take God’s word to heart and repent wholeheartedly and sincerely!
It is time to wake up, be sober, alert and diligent in our service to God!
Pray for those who are perishing that God may snatch them from the road to perdition!
Pray for your family, your friends, your leaders, your nation and the world!
God will hear us from Heaven and He will have mercy on us and on the world.
But we must not delay another moment!
God is still calling, even in this very late hour:
“Even now,” declares the Lord, “return to Me with all your heart, with fasting and weeping and mourning.” Rend your heart and not your garments. Return to the Lord your God, for He is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and abounding in love, and He relents from sending calamity. Who knows? He may turn and relent and leave behind a blessing—grain offerings and drink offerings for the Lord your God. (Joel 2:12-14)
“Turn to me and be saved, all you ends of the earth; for I am God, and there is no other. By Myself I have sworn, My mouth has uttered in all integrity a word that will not be revoked: Before Me every knee will bow; by Me every tongue will swear. They will say of Me, ‘In the Lord alone are deliverance and strength.’” (Isaiah 45 22-24)
Are we listening?
