Revelation of the Word:

THEME: GIVE THANKS TO GOD

Jeremiah 10:12-13 NIV

“But God made the earth by his power; he founded the world by his wisdom and stretched out the heavens by his understanding. When he thunders, the waters in the heavens roar; he makes clouds rise from the ends of the earth. He sends lightning with the rain and brings out the wind from his storehouses.”

INSIGHT

-God created the heavens and the earth and everything in it and this is an awesome wonder that requires our praise. These are proofs and testaments of God’s mighty power, and so of His deity; and consequently, that He only ought to be worshipped. Jeremiah sensitizes the people of the need to abandon their foreign gods made by human hands, imaginations and ideologies. In Jeremiah 2:11-13, he asks, has a nation ever changed its gods? (Yet they are not gods at all.) But my people have exchanged their glorious God for worthless idols? Be appalled at this, you heavens, and shudder with great horror,” declares the Lord. “My people have committed two sins: They have forsaken me, the spring of living water, and have dug their own cisterns, broken cisterns that cannot hold water.” There is therefore need to repent as a nation and a people for every sin and idolatry committed causing dire consequences and distress.

PRAYER

The earth is Yours Lord and everything in it, the world and all who live in it for You founded it on the seas and established it on the waters. Father You are highly exulted for You reign forever. We give thanks to You and magnify Your holy name. Lord You made the earth, You formed it and established it by Your mighty power and outstretched arm, Father You reign upon the heavens and the earth, may Your name be exulted forever. Dear Lord Jesus, we come to Your throne of grace with confidence that we may find mercy and grace to help us during our time of need. This is our time of need may You help us. May You forgive us for every sin and iniquity committed in our nation and household and cleanse us with Your precious blood dear Jesus. May You help our country Kenya and keep us safe from bloodshed and harm. May You save us from corruption, embezzlement of funds, idolatry, poor governance, and all evil and heal our land. May Your wisdom and righteousness reign in our homes and our nation. We call to You loving Savior for help knowing that You will never leave us nor forsake and You will answer us and tell us great and unsearchable things we do not know. Thank You Father for loving us and choosing us. We acknowledge that only You are God and none can compare to You. In all the heaven and the earth, only You are worthy to be praised and exulted. We pray this believing and trusting in Jesus mighty name. Amen
