For events that occur in the country, the church should use those events as a red light that indicates the potential for something that can cost the country. It is my belief that the church is responsible for ensuring that such a situation changes not only by shouting but by responding to whatever causes such a situation.
But it is not an easy thing to pray for a nation for one person or for a church to come together for one purpose to pray over the nation.
One reason is that the church is part of the citizenry of the country and as a result they are part of politics. Remember that these believers are the ones who form the various parties in the country, suddenly they find themselves in the midst of a love affair and a love affair that makes many spiritually blind, especially when it comes to the prayer for national prayer.
It is only until the church can realize itself that it has dual citizenship - the kingdom of God and the nation living on earth. Revelation 5: 9-10 And they sing a new song, saying, It is meet for you to take the book, and to open the seals thereof. for you were slain, and with your blood you purchased for God from every tribe and language and people and nation, [10] and made them a kingdom and priests to our God; and they have dominion over the land.
I want you to know that no matter where you are born or who or poverty or whatever makes you feel weak according to this line Above is that you have been bought with the blood of Jesus To be a king again priest. to be priests and kings, verse 1 Peter 2: 9 [9] But ye are a chosen seed, royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people of Gods possession, that ye may proclaim the grace of him that hath called you out of darkness into his marvelous light; The church has been called a holy nation, as a nation means they make up that nation.
Acts 17:26 [26] And he made all the nations of men, to dwell upon the face of all the earth, and had determined the times which he commanded them, and the bounds of their habitation;
In this verse I want you to see that God has set you on the earth as a perfect nation. Romans 13: 6 [6] For this reason you pay tribute also; for they are ministers of God, engaged in the same work.
I have put these scriptures in order to find out that you, as well as a citizen of the country and entitled to be a party of your choice and also a fanatic must also remember that you are a citizen of God's holy nation, the kingdom of God in order to balance your affairs. otherwise you may find yourself unable to fulfill your duty to love another.
Another reason is that some are not culturally inclined but are not overwhelmed by what the ruling regime is probably doing so much evil, when they see that they see no reason to pray. Something like this happened to our brothers in the land of slavery who failed to pray for the land in which they lived. Perhaps they were disappointed by the injustices of the empire but hear what God had to say to his people.
Jeremiah 29: 4,7 [4] Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, unto all the captivity, whom I have caused to be carried away from Jerusalem unto Babylon; [7] And seek the peace of the city, whither I have caused you to be carried away captive, and pray unto the LORD for it; for in the peace of this city shall ye find peace.
We are obligated to pray for the nation that God has placed us to dwell on.
The third reason is that there is still confusion about the Bible teaching that does the ruling authority come from God?
