Welcome to April 2012.It will be a good month for the kingdom of God to come into our lives,families,cities and nation. For it's a great month ,It"s my first sons birthday this month. April for me is a kingdom month ,as i beseech God for my son's generation to be a generation of kingdom seekers,true worshipers, kingdom minded generation. Incidentally my son's name is Joshua,so for years have been praying for him and his generation that will experience the full manifestation and power of the kingdom of God. so for the sake of all our Joshuas' let us all pray ''Thy kingdom come O Lord and Thy will be done''.
In genesis4vs26,the story goes that after Cain had killed Abel,and Cain himself had been banished by God, He still had mercy and gave Adam and Eve another son whom Eve called Seth,''for God she said has appointed me another seed in the stead of Abel''. And in verse 26 it says ''--------- then men began to call on the name of the LORD'' . Every generation has something unique about it ,either it can abandon,reject,neglect God or it will embrace God fully and completely. Seth did something for his generation that all eternity will remember; ' men began to call on God, meaning they went beyond acknowledgement of the existence of God,to knowing that they can communicate with Him through prayers and worship,and had a relationship with God their creator.
Adam and Eve rebelled against God,the rebellion continued in their son who took it a step further and became the very first murderer,but some body came, the forth man from Adam who said enough already' and dare to chose a different path.That was Seth's Thy kingdom come O Lord. Brethren how many of us will dare dare to stand and say 'enough already',of this present kingdom of sin,evil,fear,death,pervertion, poverty,disease,and wickedness in high and low places that we have in this generation. God has freely offered His kingdom to all that will believe and come to Him, and to say i will choose God's kingdom of life and peace.
I desperately want for my generation to be the one that will pray without ceasing this prayer of the Lord,'Thy kingdom come, and experience a spiritual revival,and a renewal of our cities and nations,where God will be acknowledged and honored in every sphere of life,culture,politics,economy,social. But it has to begin with you and i ,to call on God and say 'Thy kingdom come'. so who can join me this Easter in the next eight days to pray this prayer only .Your emphasis can be on your community,city, nation,or even your family.Take your eyes away from yourself,your needs etc and focus on someone else as the Lord leads.Your emphasis can also be for your church.
Lord help us in the next eight to just pray your heart concerning the kingdom.And as we celebrate your resurrection on Sunday ,may we also experience it in our lives.Until next time ,''Thy kingdom come O Lord''
