Matthew 5:14
"You are the light of the world; a city sitting on a hill cannot be hidden."
Reina-Valera 1960 (RVR1960).
In this difficult time that the world is living and that has also touched our nation, Venezuela, we Christians have a lot to give and a lot to do for everyone and it is precisely not with anything material, although it is not for us that we can also collaborate if it is within our reach. . However, I am referring at this moment to the cry for intercession that we need to make before God and that there is a special people called to intercede.
As we know, prayer is the best weapon the Christian has to fight in the midst of any crisis.
1 Timothy 2: 1: 2 WARNED therefore, above all things, that supplications, prayers, petitions, thanksgivings, be made for all men (New Living Translation Bible).
It is a Biblical mandate that all of us make prayers, prayers and petitions before the father for all men in all nations.
All of us in the same voice united today more than ever need to intercede with indesible groans before the father because we know that when the crisis worsens in an alarming way in the world, only God can work in favor of the nations by his eternal mercy, since he is the owner of every nation and town.
<Psalms 22:28
For the kingdom is the Lord's, and he will rule the nations.
(New Living Translation Bible).
All nations are in the hands of God because He governs them and although in many cases God acts according to His permissive will He is merciful and has mercy on nations and their children.
That is why we as children of God must pray that He has mercy on all and cry out for all people and cities so that God can bring peace because if there is peace in the city that peace will also touch us children.
Jeremiah 29: 7
And seek the peace of the city to which I have transported you, and pray to Jehovah for it; because in his peace you will have peace.
(New Living Translation Bible)
We are participants in the peace of God and we need to unite more and cry out for the whole world, however we must also take into account asking forgiveness for all and confessing our sins because faithful is the one who promised and keeps his covenants for ever and ever.
1 John 1: 9: 9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us of our sins and cleanse us from all evil.
