The Place of Liberality in the Healing of the Nations

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

The liberality referred to here is liberality for kingdom purposes. Giving generally opens a floodgate of blessings (Luke Chapter 6 verse 38, Isaiah Chapter 32 verse 8) and also brings healings in diverse dimensions to the peoples and nations of the world (Job Chapter 42 verses 6 to 12, Genesis Chapter 20). When people and nations give of their time, money, expertise, knowledge, skills, etc to bring people out of poverty, ignorance, and diseases into a better quality life, they are giving healing (as some of their Christian brethren take advantage of such opportunities to serve as missionaries) and they in turn; both the sending nations and missionaries receive healings from God as well.

God gave the greatest gift of all for the redemption, salvation and deliverance of humanity from satanic captivity and death to abundant life in Christ Jesus. Please see  John Chapter 3 verse 16, John Chapters 10 verse 10; 15 verse 13 , Romans Chapter 8 verses 31 to 32, 2^nd Corinthians Chapter 8 verse 9.

In the book of Haggai Chapters 1 and 2, the Bible records that the people of Judah gave  of their resources to complete the rebuilding of the Temple in Jerusalem that was abandoned on account of the fierce opposition to the rebuilding of the Temple. As the people released their resources for the rebuilding of the temple, they were healed of the famine in the land despite the fact that they had not planted fresh crops.

The Role of Prayer Cells in the Healing of the Nations

 Mary the mother of John Mark remains a woman of unrivaled beauty to me. Why, you may ask? She made available her home a place of prayer. Please see Acts Chapter 12. Many women whether believers or unbelievers make available their homes for unprofitable time wasting activities such as gossiping, sexual immorality as in the case of Potiphar’s wife,  centers of cannibalism as in the case of the foolish woman who agreed to kill her son for food and later regretted it because the person who urged her to do so refused to kill her own child; dens for trafficking and other forms of criminal activities.

But Mary used her home for divine purposes. She made it a place where the Church gathered together to intercede for the deliverance of Peter from the hands of untimely death through the evil intent of Herod who had found a new past time in killing the servants of God. God honored the prayers made in this home and Peter was released from the prison by an angel of God.

A prayer meeting can be held in any home that is made available for such a purpose and God will honor the prayers prayed in that home irrespective of the size, grandeur, opulence or insignificance and plainness. What is significant is the desire of the owners of the home to use their home as an altar of prayer to God; the hearts and the willingness of the people to pray. God is faithful and will always be present where two or three are gathered together in His name (Matthew Chapter 18 verse 20).
