He can heal our land

THE EDITOR: Please print this timely appeal in your newspaper, “Awake God’s clarion call to righteousness.” The divine fiat is resounding through the earth. “If my people who are called by my name, shall humble themselves and pray, seek my face and turn from their wicked ways then I will hear from heaven, forgive their sin and heal their land.” 2 Chronicles 7:14.

1) Healing of our land can only take place when we become conscious of sin’s offensiveness to God, recognise our true condition before Him, then cling helplessly for repentance and forgiveness with a desire for change.
2) Confession — when we confess our faults to each other, seeking forgiveness from those we have wronged and who have wronged us. Matthew 5.23. 3) Consecration — We study God’s word for the solution to remedy our sinfulness, practising his commands in our daily life until we reflect Christ’s lifestyle. By beholding Him daily we become like Him.
Fear God and keep His commandments is our whole duty. Ecclesiastes 12: 13, 14. We are to love Him with our whole being, heart, mind and strength and love others as we love ourselves. Deuteronomy chapter 11.13. The Clarion call keeps singing, awake one and all, it is imperative, urgent and important. Reverence God and give glory to him for the hour of his judgment is come and worship him who made the heaven, earth, sea, fountain of waters. Revelation 14:7.

Families should rebuild the prayer and Bible Study altar in their homes for saving their children from the paths of degradation and sin which are stalking headlong through our land. Deuteronomy 6: 5-8. Our leaders and ministers need to cry out between the porch and the altar for our nation’s repentance and themselves, so that God will heal our land. Joel 2:12. Now is the available opportunity to make a decision for Jesus Christ, our Creator, Sustainer who has redeemed us with his precious blood. Tune our ears to hear and respond to his pleading, reach out in faith, claim his promises and demonstrate through obedience his principles of righteousness.
