Title: Spare your people.
“Let the priests, who minister to the LORD, Weep between the porch and the altar; Let them say, 'Spare Your people, O LORD, And do not give Your heritage to reproach, That the nations should rule over them. Why should they say among the peoples, ‘Where is their God?’”Joel 2:17 NKJV.
Point of Reflection:
The word of God teaches to pray and give supplications (requests on behalf of) for all men everywhere so that they may be saved and may come to the knowledge of the truth
.“Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men, for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence. For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.”I Timothy 2:1-4 NKJV.
His word also exhorts us:“When I shut up heaven and there is no rain, or command the locusts to devour the land, or send pestilence among My people, 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.”II Chronicles 7:13-14 NKJV.
And also says:
“Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God;”Philippians 4:6 NKJV.
Notice- in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.
The most powerful weapon in your hands is your ability to talk to God for yourself and also on behalf of others.
Your destiny, the destiny of your loved ones. the destiny of nations and the destiny of planet earth is in your prayers.
Remember king Hezekiah, God answered his prayer instantly and added 15 years to his life (2 Kings 20:3).
Remember Elijah- brought fire from heaven to demonstrate the power of God (2 Kings 1:12).
Remember Elisha prayed and raised to life a dead child (2 Kings 4:32-37).
Remember Paul, the apostle brought back to life Eutychus (Acts 20:9-12).
Do you desire to go before God and bring your 'everything' in prayer?
