My dear friends, we as God’s children
hold the responsibility to pray for our nation. As we are seeing with our own
eyes many evil things are happening around us. Bible says in Jeremiah 29:7 that
we have to pray for the city in which we are living. We will have peace if our
city has peace.
Today I urge those who are residing in
India and America to pray for the young children especially girls who were
getting kidnapped for unknown reasons. Let me present to you some of the
statistics regarding these two countries.
INDIA:
1.
In the past ten years 3.3 million young girls who were under
the age of ten was found missing.
2.
In the capital city Delhi alone, every year nearly 5000
girls are getting kidnapped.
3.
In the southern part of India especially Tamil Nadu, 200,000
young girls were found missing in the past ten years.
No one knows where these girls are and
for what reason they are getting kidnapped. Government was simply presenting
the statistics but they are not taking any useful measures to protect the young
children.
As the children of God, we have two
choices in front of us: a) You can sit in your home or office and you can blame
the Govt authorities for all that are happening in the country or b) You can
pray to our God who actually protects a nation and its people.
What are you going to do? Pray for your
nation so that you will live in peace.
AMERICA:
1.
Every year in the U.S, 100,000 children are involved in
prostitution.
2.
In five major cities it was found that 300,000 domestic
minors were involved in prostitution.
3.
The average entry age of American minors into the sex trade
is 13.
4.
Seventy-two percent of girls in substance abuse and probation
diversion programs have a history of commercial sex.
The Government authorities could not
find even one percent of the victims. Human trafficking has become a threat to
the authorities. Most of the young girls who were kidnapped were used as sex
slaves.
When you hear the news of kidnapping or
sexual assault on a young girl or child, does your heart cries unto the Lord
with heavy burden? Do you have the pain in your heart as if your own child or
your own daughter was affected? Or you were taking the news casually as regular
ones?
My dear friends, it’s time to change
your attitude towards what was happening in your country. How come God will
bless our nation if such things happen around us? These sins will surely bring
curse upon our nation and not any blessings.
Pray for the safety of young girls in
your nation. God will bless you.
