The evangelism and discipleship II

It is so good to meet with you, precious children of God, on the pages of „Daily Word for Spiritual Edification”. I believe that these encounters inspire and encourage you.

Today I would like us to turn to Lamentations of Jeremiah.

«Arise, cry out in the night, at the beginning of the watches; pour out your heart like water before the face of the Lord. Lift your hands toward Him for the life of your young children, who faint from hunger at the head of every street» (Lamentations, 2:19).

This is not a routine call to ordinary prayer, but a call to cry out to God to send a revival and deliver our children and the next generation from inevitable disasters and tragedies. Every serious revival has started with people’s heartfelt cry directed to God. So if we want to see a revived generation in our land, if we want to see godly children and youth, if we want to leave true spiritual legacy to the next generations, we must know that God desires us to do what this passage of Scripture tells us. If you want to see a real move of God in your life, your family and your church, then it is very important to ponder upon this verse. There is a parallel verse in 2 Chronicles (7:14); it talks about God’s desire to send us a revival. Revival will not come without our participation. In order for us to see an awakening and the works of God’s mighty hand in our lives and the lives of our children, we must not ignore these guidelines to revival that God gives us.

«..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 sin and heal their land» (2 Chronicles, 7:14).

This verse calls us to humble ourselves before God, to pray and seek His face so that we can turn from our wicked ways, and then God promises to send us a revival. Then He will send us healing – from crisis, tragedies, horrors that nowadays we see around us. Let’s search out our hearts and follow the advice God gives us today.

Be blessed!

    Yesterday we started talking about how not to give up, when problems and trials are all around us. Today we are going to continue about it and I would like to share with you where we can find the strength for it. In order for us not to give up when dealing with hardships and challenges we must know that problems are a common thing and a part of life. Nobody is secured against them no matter how big your love for God is. If you think that you are the only one with problems and the others don’t have any, then you set yourself up for failure.

If nothing can be required of you because you keep forgetting things, it means you are irresponsible. There are people around us that say all the time, „Sorry, I forgot”.

  • God is the only one who knows the true meaning of human life

    We are saved by Jesus Christ not by our deeds, to be followed by good deeds God has determined for us. Once we realise that He created us, we understand that our life on this Earth is absolutely meaningless without Him, without relationship and collaboration with God. Without Him we would resemble those who lack brain, wandering in the desert, having no certain way to go. Therefore, such people walk in the dark without light, staggering like a drunken man.«He takes away understanding from the chiefs of the people of the earth, And causes them to wander in a wilderness where there is no way. They grope in the dark without light. He makes them stagger like a drunken man.» (Job 12:24-25).
  • I desire mercy and not sacrifice

    «As Jesus passed on from there, He saw a man named Matthew sitting at the tax office. And He said to him, „Follow Me.” So he arose and followed Him. Now it happened as Jesus sat at the table in the house, that behold, many tax collectors and sinners came and sat down with Him and His disciples. And when the Pharisees saw it, they said to His disciples, „Why does your Teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?” When Jesus heard that, He said to them, „Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. But go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy and not sacrifice.’ For I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance» (Mathew, 9:9-13).
