We know that there is nothing more important that we are to do as God's people, absolutely nothing, than to pray. Yet, if we ask around, people are just too busy to pray. God is again calling His people, drawing His people to prayer....because when we pray, it indicates our inability to do, it indicates our dependence on the Lord, and it indicates our hope and faith in the Almighty God, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
"For My house shall be called a house of prayer for all nations." (Isaiah 56:7). The Word became flesh and was tabernacled amongst us (John 1:14). The Lord dwells in our hearts, our families, our churches, and in each of us who are called the people of God. God is again calling His people that He wants us to be a people of prayer - pray as individuals, famillies of prayer, churches who pray, and His people who pray. Not just to pray for our own needs, but pray for NATIONS. That's what God calls us to......house of prayer for ALL nations. When we pray for our nation, pray for the nations of the world, we are saying, "We believe in You Lord, we believe You can bring change, that You are our only hope for every people, every tribe and every nation!"
I have seen this as nations come together, sharing and praying together. I can't help but feel joy and love, with tears, as I look at the peoples of many nations. With joy and much tears, we believe God together with each other for God's destiny for each nation! God is calling us all to be HIS house of prayer for ALL NATIONS. Then will we see the Kingdom of God truly established in each nation....then we will see the great harvest of peoples to the Lord!
I was in Bakalalan, Sarawak, 2 months ago. My heart was so challenged by the faith of the people, and they have a prayer house in Mount Murud there for all nations. I began to hear more and more testimonies of how prayer houses are starting in Sabah and Sarawak, and also in West Malaysia. Now, it is not just Malaysia, but testimony after testimony shows God is doing the same in all the nations of the world where God's people are hearing His call, hearing His heart......to seek Him, to pray and to believe!!
It is easy to complain and look at all the problems around us, but let us together look to the Lord, the Lord of Heaven and earth! Let each of us be the House of Prayer for all nations! It begins with each one of us.
