What is the world hearing from you? Are you speaking like them or thinking like them? Do they get hope from you or do they get frustrated the more?
Abraham did not speak what he saw. He didn’t call the things that exist. He called the things that did not exist as though they exist.
Romans 4:17 NKJV
[17] (as it is written, “I have made you a father of many nations”) in the presence of Him whom he believed—God, who gives life to the dead and calls those things which do not exist as though they did;
You are the hope of the nation. The world is waiting for you to speak.
Romans 4:18 MSG
When everything was hopeless, Abraham believed anyway, deciding to live not on the basis of what he saw he couldn’t do but on what God said he would do. And so he was made father of a multitude of peoples. God himself said to him, “You’re going to have a big family, Abraham!”
God do not need to see a formed world to make it beautiful. He made a formless world beautiful. You have the same makeup with God. Speak into a hopeless situation and make it beautiful.
You are the hope for the nation because you serve a living God; you believe in a living God.
If you want to be a revival for your nation then you must speak like Jesus. The world is tired of reading the Bible, they want to read you. You are the Bible they read now.
Whose report will you believe? The world’s or God’s?
Mark 6:34 NLT
[34] Jesus saw the huge crowd as he stepped from the boat, and he had compassion on them because they were like sheep without a shepherd. So he began teaching them many things.
The people were looking for Jesus for food, for healing, miracle, breakthrough… Jesus saw people who were sheep without shepherd.
If you don’t know what you stand for then you are a sheep without shepherd.
There are so many crowd looking for Jesus without a shepherd.
Everyone needs a shepherd who will give direction and lead them on the right path.
No one becomes anything meaningful in life without being taught.
Until you are taught, you will have no direction.
Mark 6:35-41 NLT
[35] Late in the afternoon his disciples came to him and said, “This is a remote place, and it’s already getting late. [36] Send the crowds away so they can go to the nearby farms and villages and buy something to eat.” [37] But Jesus said, “You feed them.” “With what?” they asked. “We’d have to work for months to earn enough money to buy food for all these people!” [38] “How much bread do you have?” he asked. “Go and find out.” They came back and reported, “We have five loaves of bread and two fish.” [39] Then Jesus told the disciples to have the people sit down in groups on the green grass. [40] So they sat down in groups of fifty or a hundred. [41] Jesus took the five loaves and two fish, looked up toward heaven, and blessed them. Then, breaking the loaves into pieces, he kept giving the bread to the disciples so they could distribute it to the people. He also divided the fish for everyone to share.
[44] A total of 5,000 men and their families were fed.
The kingdom of the world walks by sight. The kingdom of God works by faith. How you operate shows which kingdom is stronger in you.
You cannot trust God and be ashamed. Trusting God gives him joy and doubting him, gives him pain.
There are things that God wants to do in your life that no man can do. God is able to do far beyond your thoughts.
God wants to showcase his power and greatness in that seemingly impossible situation.
There are abundant wells of blessing for you in this land even in the face of economic hardship. You only need to hear from God to receive direction and instruction.
God will heal our land. But he can’t do it without you. You are the ones to prove to the world that God exists.
1 Corinthians 2:9 NLT
[9] That is what the Scriptures mean when they say, “No eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no mind has imagined what God has prepared for those who love him.”
What God will do will be contrary to what you see. Don’t post negativity. Post positive things. Don’t amplify what does not bring glory to God. When you see negative things, simply say: “it is well”.
Raise your head up, for your help is above and He who is above is above all things.
You are a carrier of God’s presence.
Prayer: Lord irrespective of what I see, help me to speak positive things, help me to speak your word, help me to speak your will in Jesus name.
