Message for healing of the nation

THE EDITOR: This is a message for peacemakers in the land
Those who are called children of God
To humble themselves and seek God’s face
Turn and repent from their wicked ways

You’ve been rejected, reviled, persecuted,
falsely accused
Don’t sit around nursing your wounds
Waiting for someone to put you into the pool
Take up your bed and walk the Lord can use you

You don’t need credentials He uses experience
Go spread the good news of God’s Kingdom of Love
Let your light so shine before men
To glorify your Father in Heaven

Forgive those who have done you wrong
The unforgiving will not be forgiven by God
Love and do good to your enemies
Vengeance belongs to God He will recompense

You don’t have to stand in a house of worship to pray
Our bodies are the temple of the Holy Spirit
God only rewards prayers done in secret
Public prayers fasting and almsgiving glorify man

Be thankful for everything anxious for nothing
To those in Christ Jesus there’s no condemnation
He promised to supply our every need
To never leave nor forsake his children

You are salt and light of this land
Only God’s love counteracts corruption
Do unto others as you would have done to you
Walk in the Spirit there’s no law against love

Expect to be stigmatised expelled from the crowd
Don’t take offense the battle is not yours
One can win a thousand two tens of thousands
Put on the whole armour be strong in the Lord

Pray without ceasing with unwavering faith
Seek God’s wisdom He gives to all liberally
use whatever talent you possess
Even a listening ear is significant

Give a cup of cold water to a thirsty soul
A word of cheer to a hungering heart
Envy, hatred, wrath, strife, murder will be overcome
Save our nation from condemnation and shame

God’s Holy Word must be fulfilled
All nations that forget Him will be turned into hell
The sheep on his right hand to eternal bliss
The goats on his left to eternal torment

The eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous
He resists the proud gives grace to the humble
All manner of sin will be forgiven men
Except blasphemy against the Holy Spirit.
