Good morning, do you remember the conversation Abraham had with God when he was interceding on behalf of Sodom. “Peradventure there be fifty righteous within the city: wilt thou also destroy and not spare the place for the fifty righteous that are therein?” (Genesis 28:24) Abraham begins his intercessory prayer on behalf of an ungodly city because Lot’s family lived in this city. Abraham was pleading with God to spare Lot’s family or the” righteous” within the city from total destruction. Essentially, Lot had lost all influence over his family; Lot’s family did not follow him. And I believe, Abraham knew that Lot had lost his way and any influence over his family. My Christin friend, continue to show your children and their children who God is in your life, do not lose the godly influence over your family. “And the Lord said, if I find in Sodom fifty righteous within the city, then I will spare all the place for their sakes” (v.26). God was willing to spare the city if He found “fifty righteous” within the city. And you know the rest of the story, Abraham continues to return to God, asking for God to spare the city if there were 40 righteous, 30 righteous, 20 righteous, and he got down to 10 righteous. My friend, God is not going to spare America based on the government of this country. America’s future is placed upon the shoulders of the church (the righteous) in the city (America). We are praying for a “spiritual awakening” of the chruch, the righteousness of God. If the church does not rise up and be who God has called us to be, this country is headed for destruction. The end result of Sodom; was destruction because there were not even 10 righteous found in the city. Father, I pray this morning that you would “stir the gift that is within us” that we may proclaim your Word from the church of the living God. Father, forgive us for not honoring your Word in our daily deeds and we pray that you spare our country and that the church (the righteous”) will continue to rise up. Be Blessed in Jesus’ Name!
