Jeremiah 1:10 See, I have this day set thee over the nations and over the kingdoms, to root out, and to pull down, and to destroy, and to throw down, to build, and to plant.
Looking at that Scripture and bringing it to this present and age where everything goes, alot of things have gone wrong.Darkness has taken over and righteousness no longer has a say in the run of events. And it seems all hope is lost. Things are getting worse by the day ( unrighteousness, perverseness, sexual immorality, idolatry and the likes keep increasing --2 Timothy 3:1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
3:2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
3:3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
3:4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
3:5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.)
It seems God's ear are closed to prayers .But wait, let's check it again. Yes something went wrong somewhere, but all hope is not lost. Infact we are the ones called to fix up these mess and change the world.
How do we go about repairing this bridge am talking about...?
Love is one way we can repair the bridge..take a look at 1 Corinthians 13:4 Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,
13:5 Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;
13:6 Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;
13:7 Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.
13:8 Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away....
Isa.58:6-7, John 14:15
Secondly Prompt Obedience --Ezra 5:1 Then the prophets, Haggai the prophet, and Zechariah the son of Iddo, prophesied unto the Jews that were in Judah and Jerusalem in the name of the God of Israel, even unto them.
5:2 Then rose up Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and began to build the house of God which is at Jerusalem: and with them were the prophets of God helping them.
Thirdly Offering ourselves to God--Romans 12:1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.
And lastly we need Patience....without patience the bridge can not be repaired...Hebrews 6:12 That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises.
