Revelation of the Word:

THEME: REPENTANCE

Proverbs 14:34 NKJV

“Righteousness exalts a nation, But sin is a reproach to any people.”

INSIGHT

–National repentance is critical for the prosperity of a people. Ezra’s deep mourning over the sins of the exiles led others to gather around him, see their own sins, and weep bitterly over them (Ezra 10:1). Ezra preaches the message of national repentance of Israel. Nehemiah also majorly advocates for the rebuilding of the Jerusalem walls which had been burnt and destroyed. Nehemiah surveyed the structure for three days and said, “You see the trouble we are in: Jerusalem lies in ruins, and its gates have been burned with fire. Come, let us rebuild the wall of Jerusalem, and we will no longer be in disgrace” (Nehemiah 2:1). As Nehemiah addresses the dilapidated state of Jerusalem and the continued disobedience of the people, led them in a process of repentance and rebuilding both physically and spiritually. Let us continue to repent for the sin of our nation and seek the Lord for the rebuilding our spiritual walls in righteousness and peace.

PRAYER

Lord You tell us that, if we humble ourselves before You, pray and seek Your face, and turn from our wicked ways, then You will hear from heaven, forgive our sin and heal our land. May You hear our prayers dear Lord Jesus, forgive us and heal our land. May You have mercy on us and save us. Lord You make nations great and destroy them, You enlarge nations and guides them. May You make our nation of Kenya great and enlarge our territories. May righteousness take charge in our nation and grant us Your peace and prosperity. We pray this believing and trusting in Jesus mighty name. Amen

Blessed Thursday
