Pray for your land and people
1. First of all, that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving thanks be made for all men.
2. For kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all Godliness and reverence.
3. For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our savior.
1Timothy 2:1-3
TESTIMONY
I live in Manapakkam, Chennai. Recently we shifted to this area. The ground opposite to our home was filled with garbage up to 5 feet height. It was in that condition for several years. I lifted my hands towards the ground and started to pray in the name of Jesus, the garbage should be cleared, the land should become clean and nobody should throw garbage there. Within a month, the local corporation cleared the entire place. I was filled with joy that the Lord answered my prayer. To my surprise within the next 2 months, it turned into a Kabaddi playground. Now youth in our area practice Kabaddi every day. I thank Jesus for listening to my prayers and making the place useful for many.
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 will forgive their sins and heal their land.
2 Chronicles 7:14
When we earnestly seek his face, the Lord will heal the land we are living, pour grace upon the people and bring peace to the place that we are living.
You are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, his own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.
1 Peter 2:9
God calls us as royal priesthood.
The work of a priest is to stand and to intercede for his people. God has called us as royal priesthood to pray, intercede for our people and place and for our nation and the world.
Currently, all the nations are suffering from economic crisis, we hear of war everywhere, sickness and suffering.
Is it not our duty to pray and intercede for all?
Prayer
Our loving heavenly father, we pray for all the people to be filled with grace and peace. We pray for all the ruling authorities to be filled with your wisdom. May God’s mercy and compassion be poured on everyone.
In Jesus name,
Amen.
Sol. Camilia Theodore, Chennai.
