I have many times wondered what it takes to explain to a person that knows all the whys that they need to do something. This question still stands without answers. There are girls that woke up this morning tired. Not because they played the whole night but because their mothers sold them to sex animals in the night, because their mothers gave them to step fathers for sex in the bid to save their marriages.
Why? I ask myself why we need to explain to a parent that it is wrong to rob a child of both her worth and innocence, why? Humanity has had its travels through the paths of civilization and yet much of it is held within the potholes on those paths. Much of it is still held by those things that they fear.
This morning a pastor woke up not in his bed but in a couch in his office. He just had sex with the youth pastor, a young man at that. How do we explain to them that that is wrong? The more we try to counsel them the worse they seem to get.
Some of these evils are very ancient and man has not succeeded in solving them. The reason is simply because we have fought them on a wrong front. These things are not the intentions of men but the results of those forces that have dictated the movements of men for so long. Man is a spiritual being and he is firstly influenced in the spirit realm and then in this realm we operate.
As long as we do not realize the importance of operating in the spirit through measures of prayer, fasting, prophesying, studying the bible, we shall fill our prisons with our own sons and daughters and the abortion clinics will keep being full and emptying. This is not a call for every one. It is a call for every Christian. Before we condemn the rapists for not realizing that that they are evil, lets condemn ourselves for neglecting a war that has kept our societies in jeopardy.
As we pray let us also move out and evangelize, stand and know that we are here and not in heaven by design. Our call transcends our very lives. Every Christian is Christ’s and the concerns of Christ ought to be our very concerns. When we were called we were also empowered to fulfill that calling. We cannot blame God for our current political state when we have not prayed and when we pray we don’t believe God to be at work in us, we don’t vote. We are what makes things happen here in the earth.
We need to realize first that we have to pray against and for. We stop the evil today and this is how we do it. We pray and when we pray, we act. It is more effective when a Christian counsels a defiler because he has the spirit of God and because he has taken time to pray for people controlled by those forces. Those girls depend on our availability. Much as we are not Gods, we are God’s and we share concerns and responsibilities.
Will you realize this with me?
