GOD’S AGENDA FOR THE EARTH
Even before God created the earth, He has been working to fulfill His agenda here on earth.(Rev 13:8)
From the very foundation of the world, God had a plan to bring mankind back to Him. His son, Jesus Christ, was to be the sacrifice for our sins.
Throughout the pages of time His agenda has been marching on.
First and foremost, God’s will is that not a single person die without receiving His gift of eternal life.
The Lord is... not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. (2 Peter 3:9)
Even though most of the earth may reject Him, God is still reaching out in love to all mankind.
Regardless of our lifestyle or how good we have tried to live, it’s not enough. For we all have sinned and come short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23)
Even in the midst of this Covid-19 Plague, God is reach- ing out to the world to repent, turn from their sin and receive Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour.
What about you my friend, have you accepted God’s will and plan for your life???
HAS CONGRESS CHANGED???
Congressional Fast Day Proclamation
Library of Congress
Congress proclaimed days of fasting and of thanksgiving an- nually throughout the Revolutionary War. This proclamation by Congress set May 17, 1776, as a “day of Humiliation, Fast- ing and Prayer” throughout the colonies. Congress urges its fellow citizens to “confess and bewail our manifold sins and transgressions, and by a sincere repentance and amendment of life, appease his [God’s] righteous displeasure, and through the merits and mediation of Jesus Christ, obtain his pardon and forgiveness.” Massachusetts ordered a “suitable Num- ber” of these proclamations be printed so “that each of the religious Assemblies in this Colony, may be furnished with a Copy of the same” and added the motto “God Save This Peo- ple” as a substitute for “God Save the King.”
Congressional Thanksgiving Day
Proclamation
Congress set December 18, 1777, as a day of thanksgiving on which the American people “may express the grate-
ful feelings of their hearts and consecrate themselves to the service of their divine benefactor” and on which they might “join the penitent confession of their manifold sins . . . that it may please God, through the merits of Jesus Christ, mercifully to forgive and blot them out of remem- brance.” Congress also recommends that Americans peti- tion God “to prosper the means of religion for the promo- tion and enlargement of that kingdom which consisteth in righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Ghost.’”
We pray today, “Oh God, give us politicions in government today, that honor and uplift you as our founding fathers did.”
When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn. Proverbs 29:2
