Dedication to the people in SiChuan
The earthquake which shook SiChuan on 12May2008 has taken 62,500 lives(as of 26May).Friends this number is continuosly growing by the minute.And this number does not include the number of people who are homeless,missing or orphaned.The number of people affected by the earthquake is counted by the millions.Christians if you are reading this then I want you right now to say a prayer for the people affected by the SiChuan earthquake.Just yesterday(25May),a 5.4 magnitude aftershock rocked China and again claimed the lives and homes of many people.
To the people of SiChuan,I know words don't work right now,and all I can do for you is to keep you all in my prayers. Lord I commit the people in SiChuan to you.Father you see the situations they are in,each one of them.Lord I pray that your hand of protection will be upon each and every one of them,those who have been saved and even those who are still trapped.God I ask that in the midst of the chaos you will show yourself so real not just to the people in SiChuan but even to the people all over the world who are watching the situation.Lord let this event be a testimony of your grace and healing power.Let our weaknesses in this event be a platform for your mighty love to enfold and be a testimony to the whole world that you are the Almighty God.Lord I commit to you the Christians living in China.Father I pray that you will open their eyes even to the confusion and lost of the unsaved.That they will see the hopelessness of the people around them and they will arise and take ownership of the country.God I take the situation and put it all at the foot of the cross.Take control of it oh God.I bind every work of the enemy and I loose the power of your love,the truth of your word and the power of your grace even into China.And I thank you Lord for what you are about to do in the country,because I know that it will be good.Amen.
Friends if you are reading this post then I want you right now to put aside everything and start intervening for the people in SiChuan.I'd also like to invite all of you to join me in fasting and prayer for the situation.Let us believe for God's intervention and let us partner with each other even in fervent prayer and committed fasting.
Matthew11:12 'Since the days of John the Baptist until now,the kingdom of heaven has been forcefully advancing,and forceful men lay hold of it.' Friends let us be forceful even in intervening for our friends in China.
It is not a human right to stare not fight,
While broken nations dream.
Open up your eyes so blind
That we might find the mercy
For the need.
Hey now fill our hearts with your compassion,
Hey now as we hold to our confession.
It is not too far a cry
Too much to try
And help the least of these.
Politics should not decide
If we should rise
And be your hands and feet.
Hey now fill our hearts with your compassion,
Hey now as we hold to our confession.
Woah! God be the solution.
Woah! and we will be your hands
And be your feet.
Higher than all circumstances and your promise stands,
Your love for all to see.
Higher than our protest lines and dollar signs
Your love is all we need.
Hey now fill our hearts with your compassion,
Hey now as we hold to our confession.
Woah! God be the solution.
Woah! and we will be your hands
And be your feet.
Only you can mend the broken heart
And cause the blind to see.
Erase complete the sinner's past
And set the captives free.
Only you can take the widows cry
And cause her heart to sing.
Be the father to the fatherless,
Our Saviour and our king.
We will be your hands
We will be your feet,
We will run this race for the least of these;
In the darkest place
We will be your light,
We will be your light.
We will be your light
And we will be your hands
And feet.
We will run,
We will run,
We will run with the solution.
