Recent statistics of
America states that the divorce rates are getting decreased in recent days. You
might say that we should be happy about it. But the reason behind the decrease
of divorce rate is that people are living in ‘get together’ relationship as
they lost belief in marriage. We should understand that the marriage relationship
is ordained by God. If we have some relationship outside marriage, it will
bring God’s wrath in our lives. So we should pray that people should not listen
to devil’s lie and they should look to God for counsel. Also divorce should not
happen in those people lives that were already married. If we turn back to God
from our sinful ways, He will listen to our cries and will bless America.
Jesus Christ says in Mark 10:6-9, “But from the beginning of the
creation, God made them male and female. For this reason a man shall leave his
father and mother and be joined to his wife and the two shall become one flesh;
so then they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore, what God has joined
together, let not man separate.”
When we divorce and
marriage another person, we have to know we are committing adultery. Pray that the
people should not commit the sin of adultery.
Recent news from India
states that nearly 30 million people had participated in the kumbhmela
festival. People who participate in this festival believe that their sins will
be forgiven if they dip themselves in the river of Ganges. And every year many
people are dying due to stampade and accidents that happen during their
pilgrimage. Imagine what will happen to their souls once they die? In one
festival nearly 3 crore people are going behind a wrong belief thinking idols
will save their life. We can never blame them for what they are doing. Their intention
is to get forgiveness from their sins but they are choosing a wrong way. It’s
our duty to pray for these souls so that they will know Jesus Christ, the
Savior who can save them from their sins and can give eternal life.
Bible says like this:
“You shall have no other gods before Me. You shall not make for
yourself a carved image-any likeness of anything that is in heaven above or
that is in the earth beneath or that is in the water under the earth. You shall
not bow down to them or serve them. For I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God…”
– Exodus 20:3-5

| WHO WILL PRAY FOR THESE UNSAVED SOULS? |
Being a Christian, are
you proclaiming Gospel to the people who had never known Christ in their lives?
As you start praying for the souls who run behind idols, take a decision to
proclaim Gospel to your neighbors who were worshiping idols.
As I thought of
writing this article, Holy Spirit reminded me about one biblical verse.
“You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain, for
the Lord will not hold him guiltless who takes His name in vain.” –Exodus 20:7
In these modern days,
we tend to use the name of God so casually. I heard that the Hollywood movies
use the name of Jesus Christ in a meaningless way. If we continue to do so, it
will not bring blessings in our lives. His Name is the Holiest name. Let’s pray
that our people should not use the name of Jesus Christ without reverence.
