WHY IS A NATIONAL REPENTANCE FOR
KENYA IMPORTANT.
Is it me or you feel God speaking
louder and louder? Why do we choose to listen to the lies of the
enemy and ignore God's cry? Are we really in such a deep sleep? Why
don't we wake up and change? Why do we so quickly forget the warnings
God sends us? Why?
I cant be the only one asking these
questions. I'm sure for many of you, these questions have crossed
your mind while reading the news or hearing about tragedy somewhere
in the world.
I shouldn't be shocked because Isaiah
even spoke, “ Listen carefully, but do not understand. Watch
closely but learn nothing. Harden the hearts of these people. Plug
their ears and shut their eyes. That way, they will not see with
their eyes, nor hear with their ears, nor understand with their
hearts and turn to me for healing.” (Isaiah
6:9-10)
Throughout
the Bible, God constantly
warns that we are not listening, and that we need to repent and turn
to Him. Yet not all did. Not
even those who were in the presence of His precious Son. So why do I
think it would be any different today?
Because
I have hope. God also says that we are to awaken from
our slumber before He returns like a thief in the night. That He will
return for a Bride without blemish.
As I
watch the news and see what is going on around me, I get a sense it
cannot be too much longer. Judgment
is coming. There
is no one stopping that, but we
as children of God, as people who have seen God move, can cry out Aba
father avert it in your loving kindness and save your people...look
Mombasa...and even worse things again.
We can join together and start shouting, “stop! Those with ears
listen, those with eyes see, and
those with a like heart turn to God and allow Him to bring healing.”
friends,
we need to start shouting the same tune.'LETS
REPENT AND TURN TO THE LORD”
Imagine a body gathered together functioning how God
purposed and planned. Praying for those that are hurt or discouraged,
taking time to listen and lift up, ceasing
to judge and condemn. Imagine a body functioning as the church in
Acts. Helping those in need.
Imagine....
if we all did this and listened to God's plea, stopped going through
the motions and actually lived
out His commands, what an impact we would
make on this world.
Can we
listen? Can we wake up? I
know I want to. How about you?

THE

you look at our sins below,

the two steps of National repentance.
