Hello my beloved brothers and sisters of @Steemchurch, my message today is about a topic where the Lord has disturbed me a lot and it is about what we can do as Christians in our territory.
Regardless of the country that we meet each of us we must give our best to make the world better, we will always have to give an account to God of what we do and who we affect.
One of my biggest examples has been @Sirknight, without a doubt a mentor, an exceptional leader who has brought out the best in us, maybe that desire for personal improvement has always kept us active every day. As a person I have projects, dreams and goals to meet. Sometimes, we feel tired and as human beings it is not allowed.
Steemchurch for me has been something that has impacted my life, in fact every time I feel to write at times I feel like God whispers things to me, has brought out the best in me, has made me enter the secret place to find the revelation of the word and transmit it to a people who thirst for justice and spiritual hunger.
In Venezuela we are going through the biggest crisis in our history, and here in Steemchurch, there are many of my Venezuelan brothers who write every day, in fact I think that by the same process we have done we have left our hearts in our messages.
Many of them have written to me, I know some, others by messages because they are in different places. The truth is that I have created a team with brothers who have put their talents to order to promote @Steemchurch in our country, and in this way create the necessary incentive for others to follow the path and honor the work that @Sirknight as a pioneer and guide has taught us. Then give way to what will be Steemchurch Venezuela.
To this end, a work schedule has been established that will be described in the following days, where we will be placing tasks, ranging from social work to the creation of technological tools for the benefit of our community.
Our project: How a country is built Steemchurch Venezuela.
Steemchurch, has given me a lot, not only economic contributions, but also spiritual, I can not help but overlook this beautiful gesture and for this reason my wish is that the first church of the blockchain is the first sponsor of VastagoKids, and the foundation people with purpose to which I represent.
Intercession for the Nations, The Rulers, The Church and its Ministers.
Your main task:
The destiny of a nation can change through intercession.
The Lord left us a Great Commission: "Go and make disciples of all nations ..." (Matthew 28:19). We can not personally go to all the people of the world, it is physically impossible, but we can intercede in prayer so that the Lord will bring workers to where they need it, pave the roads and open the doors, so that His Word will be heard and everyone will be make your disciples or followers. As people change, countries and their governments will change, we will achieve unity in Christ and then we will have peace.
In the Old Testament we find many examples of how the destiny of a nation can change through intercession; In the chapter "The Power of Intercessory Prayer", we mention them. The word "nations" is found 253 times in the Bible and means "Ethnos" or ethnic groups. In other words, nation is the people of a country.
In Psalm 2: 8, the Lord says: "Ask Me and I will give you the nations as an inheritance and the ends of the Earth will be your possession. "If we intercede for the nations we are begging God for the conversion of all the people of the world to His Paths; for his spiritual and physical health, for his salvation.
In every society there are seven basic areas that shape the thinking of people and are reflected in the life of a nation. These areas also have a huge influence on the behavior and behavior of the leaders of nations and of the people who are in eminence.
When interceding for the nations, we must ask for: Home and family, the church, educators, public spectacles, the media, government and commerce.
Promises of God for the Nations:
"If my people, on whom My name is called, 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 sins, and I will heal their land. " (2 Chronicles 7:14) "Seek the peace of the city which I caused you to transport, and pray for it to Jehovah; for in your peace you will have peace. "(Jeremiah 29: 7)
Some Biblical scriptures to intercede for the Nations:
1 Timothy 2: 1-2
Proverbs: 21: 1; 28: 2; 29: 2; 2: 10-22; 16: 10-13; 20: 26-28.
Psalms: 68: 10-11; 105: 14
b. For the people who govern
"I urge above all, that prayers, prayers, petitions and actions of grace be made for all men; by kings and by all that are in eminence, so that we may live quietly and peacefully in all piety and honesty. Because this is good and pleasing before God our Savior, who wants all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. " (1 Timothy 2: 1-4)
Satan attacks all men but more those in power, in eminence, in authority. Precisely it is the power that gives the man who exercises it, power, wealth, position and impunity, situations that make him more vulnerable, be attacked by Satan and his legions of evil.
The scripture quoted above says "first of all", this means that "before anything else" we must pray "for the kings and for all those who are in eminence", which in turn means our government, from the level national to the local level by the President and his Ministers, members of Congress, governors, mayors, judges, military, police, etc. FOR ALL, the position does not matter, it does not matter if they are believers or not.
If Christians intercede for our rulers and leaders, things would go differently in the world. Many times one is questioned because things do not go well in our pious, when in reality it is that we are not putting the first, in the first place: the intercession for the leaders instead of criticism and murmuring. All authority, whether we like it or not, has been set by God.
His Word says it in Romans 13: 1 "Let every person submit himself to the higher authorities; because there is no authority but from God, and those that are, by God have been established. "
The authorities have been placed by God to serve. The essential purpose that God has for us to pray for those in eminence is that there are conditions that allow us to spread His Word, for the salvation of the people and so that His blessings of peace, health and prosperity for all can come true.
If we Christians pray with responsibility interceding before all, for the people who form the government of our countries, we would prevent Satan and his hosts of evil from operating through it.
Every Christian church should understand that it has this same responsibility to teach to intercede first of all for what God commands. According to 1 Timothy 2: 1-4. Then we will see changes. We will see the Hand of God directing the destiny of our country in every way: spiritual, physical, economic and prosperity. You can change the destiny of your pious beginning today, at this very moment, to intercede for the people who govern you, according to the Word of God.
I want the shirt to be used for social tasks are similar, I also accept ideas from my brothers who have a lot of talent.
The "church" is a unit, a unique body (remember the language of Paul) where each individual is diluted in the whole, in the integrated unit, where there is no single member of more value than another and where each member is vital to the operation of the whole. "'Edah" is a body without hierarchy, without "professionals," without seeking status and without personal glorification. It is the only assembly that fulfills the commandments of God.
Isaiah 61
Good news of salvation for Zion
61 "The spirit of the Lord, the Lord, is upon me,
because Jehovah has anointed me.
He has sent me to preach good news to the poor,
to bandage the brokenhearted,
to publish freedom to the captives
and to the prisoners opening of the prison;
2 to proclaim the year of Jehovah's goodwill
and the day of the vengeance of our God;
to console all who are in mourning;
3 to order that the afflicted of Zion
they are given splendor instead of ash,
joy oil instead of mourning,
mantle of joy instead of the anguished spirit.
They will be called "Trees of justice",
"Plant Jehovah," to his glory.
