Text — Genesis 14:8-16
Message
It appears that from the beginning of the world even till now, men have always engaged in one form of warfare or the other over territories, boundaries, position, power, fame, wealth and the need to be in charge thereby oppressing one another.
As the older folks fight against one another, a lot of children suffer the consequences. Many of the children in such areas are faced with constant fear, loss of parents and siblings, abandonment, starvation, inability to go to school, insecurities, maltreatments and early exposure to vices and all manner of crimes. The fact still remains that Jesus cares for all these children. He does not want any of them to be lost eternally due to troubles that war bring in many nations of the world.
Pray that:
(i) God will show mercy and bring peace in the zones presently experiencing war.
(ii) God will help the children in those places to experience the touch of Christ.
(iii) The Lord will provide for the needs of the children that are affected.
(iv) God will protect them from harm and that His goodness at such a time will lead them to repentance.
(v) God will put His fear in the heart of the rulers so that they will stop the wars.
