DALAM PEWUJUDAN KARYA ALLAH DI DUNIA INI.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
** Scripture: 1 Timothy 2:1-2 **
"Lift up a petition, intercession and thanksgiving ... for kings and all the princes, so that we can live in peace and security in all godliness and dignity."
Situation and the condition of the country was complicated so that the public is skeptical and indifferent. State officials - ranging from executive officers, the judiciary to the legislature, one by one taken prisoner by the Commission for corruption. In the big city, traffic jam, criminality threaten everywhere. As ordinary people, we can what? That's our question.
Passage today shows just how vital the role of prayer, not as a mere personal spiritual attributes. Paul asked his foster son, Timothy, to intercede for everyone. Then he specifically mentions the leaders of nations that are closely related to church and ministry life.
In prayer, we ask for things good and acceptable to God, not the things that are good according to our assumption. Prayer asking for life who calm and of this serene constitute the application of from principle that the Gospel is intended for all humans (1 Timothy 2:6). Gospel reveals God's will to save all people (1 Timothy 2:4). By praying for the leaders, the good news would be shared widely.
So, we can answer that question with: we can pray! Do not tire of praying. We pray that the leaders and citizens of this nation can experience and receive God's gift of salvation. We pray that God's people in worship freely and serve him, and may God bring about change for the good and welfare of this nation.
WHEN WE PRAY, WE TAKE PART REALIZATION
OF GOD WORKS IN THIS WORLD.
