Day 11: Oh America! Arise and Return to Your Creator

In today’s modern world, the driving guide which people used to print to assist with driving directions has been replaced by modern technology. I find it interesting how mankind is so glued to the eclectics called GPS for directions. Today, the GPS is inbuilt in cars and can also be accessed from most cell phones. It is very rare to find anyone who does not like the GPS or uses it most frequently. It is also interesting to note that when using the GPS, the user strives for accuracy, so he/she does not miss the direction to his/her destination and thus misses scheduled appointments or acquires unnecessary expenses such as booking a new flight ticket or paying for a hotel overnight.

The word of God as stated in John 14:6 “Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” John 1: 1-2  “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning.” has the direction for eternal life, but man finds it so hard to use it. Out of those who try to use the word of God for direction, only a few abide by its rules. Yet, it contains the ONLY way to freedom, fellowship, and a relationship with God the creator of the universe and mankind. Galatians 5:1 “It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.” Jesus is the only GPS to eternal life with the Father. There is no other as well said in Acts 4:12 “Salvation exists in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved.”

The American church who was given the manual of how to operate the GPS (God’s word) has lost its bearing and is headed for the wrong path: Proverbs 14:12There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way of death.” Until America comes to a place where it realizes it has fallen from the right path, it will continue to see itself as pure, yet covered with filth. Proverbs 30:12 “There is a generation that is pure in their own eyes, and yet is not washed from their filthiness. America cannot see its filthiness because of two main issues; PRIDE and the brother ARROGANCE.

The church in America to whom the GPS was handed must come to the place of reckoning with truth; John 8:32 “Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free." This is the only way to return back to the original path. Psalm 119: 159-160 “Consider how I love Your precepts, O LORD; give me life according to Your loving devotion. The entirety of Your word is truth, and all Your righteous judgments endure forever.”

Prayer points

  • Arise and call on the Lord to grant grace for America to return to the ancient path where the good way is:  Jeremiah 6:16  “Thus says the Lord: “Stand by the roads, and look, and ask for the ancient paths, where the good way is; and walk in it, and find rest for your souls. But they said, ‘We will not walk in it.”

  • God is looking today for the Mordecai to answer the call and cry out for the deliverance of this land; burden bearers. So far as there is a Mordecai, God creates a way out. Why not ask God to turn you into one and give you that grace:  Esther 4:1 “When Mordecai learned all that had been done, Mordecai tore his clothes and put on sackcloth and ashes, and went out into the midst of the city, and he cried out with a loud and bitter cry.”

  • Jesus is the only way: Pray that this nation will turn to Jesus: Pray for the salvation of the inhabitants of this nation: John 14:6 “Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”

  • God is looking for the Daniels who will turn their faces to the walls, pleading the case for mercy  for America: If you are ready, tell the Lord to equip you today with that grace: Daniel 9:3 ”Then I turned my face to the Lord God, seeking him by prayer and pleas for mercy with fasting and sackcloth and ashes.”

  • List all these six points and ask the Lord for mercy over America: “There are six things the LORD hates, seven that are detestable to him: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked schemes, feet that are quick to rush into evil, a false witness who pours out lies and a person who stirs up conflict in the community.” Proverbs 6:16-19

  • Pray that the Lord will direct the hearts of those in power to do what is right beginning from the White House: ”In the Lord’s hand the king’s heart is a stream of water that he channels toward all who please him.” Prov. 21:1  

  • Pray for the spiritual guidance upon the leadership of the church in America: “For lack of guidance a nation falls, but victory is won through many advisers.” Proverbs 11:14  

  • Pray that America will forsake its sins and turn to God: “Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin condemns any people.” Proverbs 14:34  

  • Pray for peace and prosperity over this land: ”Also, seek the peace and prosperity of the city to which I have carried you into exile. Pray to the LORD for it, because if it prospers, you too will prosper.” Jeremiah 29: 7
