Peace and Development
The significance of peace in the land cannot be over stated. However, justice is the precursor to peace and peace leads to development and prosperity, progress, safety, general security, flourishing businesses, great bilateral trade relations, wealth, favor, etc. to ensure peace in the land, the leaders of the nations should ensure that justice reigns in the land. During the reign of King Solomon in Israel, the Bible records that there was justice and peace in the land and that culminated in great development and progress in the land. Please read 1st Kings Chapters 3, 4 and 5. Please also read 1st Kings Chapter 4 verses 21 to 34, 5 verses 1 to 18, 10 verses 23 to 29. The reign of King Asa of Judah is another Biblical case in point. Please read 2nd Chronicles Chapter 14 verses 1 to 7.
Repentance
from dead works
A number of nations waste their God given resources through
corruption, laziness, greed, ignorance, lack of planning and absolute
inattention to priorities. What is required for revitalizing such nations is
whole hearted repentance of the national sins of waste through corruption, lack
of planning, mismanagement of resources, lack of care and attention, waste of
life through inattention to healthcare, roads, potable water provision,
security, unpaid salaries, youth development, care of the elderly. Such
repentance will bring in the presence of God and divine direction as to how to
manage their resources to revitalize their nations. Please read Zechariah
Chapters 5 verses 1 to 4; 1 verses 18 to 21; 14 verses 11 to 12, Ezekiel
Chapters 35 verses 1 to 9; 36 verse 5 and Proverbs Chapters 15 verse 27; 29
verse 24.
God hates wicked counsel and wicked counselors – Ezekiel
Chapter 11 verses 1 to 13, 2nd Samuel Chapter 15 verse 12, 31 to 37,
16 verses 15 to 23, 17 verses 1 to 23. Pray that God would send the right
counsellors who would give the counsel of God to the nations.
Adopt and operate a zero waste policy as well as
fruitfulness – Hebrews Chapter 6 verses 7 to 8.
Connect creativity – link creative people so that they
can pool their resources- talent, time, money, etc together for the common good
– Exodus Chapter 25 verses 1 to 8, 35 verses 1 to 10, 21 to 29, 30 to 35, 36
verses 1 to 4, 1st Chronicles Chapter 29 verse 1.
Clean and safe cities are a pleasant sight to almost everyone. Nations can be revitalized by being kept clean and safe. This will attract the right people who will bring in the right development to the nations.
Are

THE NATIONS about Christ and revitalize the nations for God in the mighty name
