2 Chronicles 7:14 (NIV)
“14 if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves
and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I
will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their
land.”
Pray is not an exception but an
expectation. God has called believers out of the darkness into the
marvelous light to have a relationship with Himself. This relationship
calls for an active and vibrant prayer life. Prayer must become just like
breathing to a believer in Christ Jesus. It is written, "17 pray
continually,"(1 Thessalonians 5:17). Other versions state,
"pray without ceasing."
The
Scripture above gives a conditional statement to God's people. He expects
humility, prayer, seeking Him, and turning from wicked ways. There are
some results that are imperative in this day and time. God will hear and
respond to answer prayers. He will give forgiveness. Another
conditional statement is, "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will
forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness."(1
John 1:9) The final outcome is a healed individual, family, community,
nation, etc.
Challenge:
Believers in Jesus let us pray, seeking our Heavenly Father, and receive His
abundance of answers especially His grace, forgiveness, and purification. Amen.
