2 Chronicles 7:14
“If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.”

DAILY READING; Mark 15:1-20; 1 Kings 10; Hosea 11:12-12:14

The American Civil War was the deadliest war in American history. Altogether, over 600,000 people died in the conflict. This number of casualties is more than deaths in World War I and World War II combined.
One reason why the American Civil War was so lethal was because of the introduction of improved weaponry. It would be the first war in which soldiers used repeating rifles which could fire several shots without reloading. The Civil War also marked the first use by Americans of shrapnel, booby traps, land mines and automated weapons like the Gatling gun.
As this bloody war raged and many people continued to die, the situation appeared beyond the control of the government. And so in March 1863, there was a declaration from President Abraham Lincoln, calling all Americans to a day of fasting and prayer to seek God’s intervention to end the brutal war.
The U.S. Senate also backed the president and asked the people, on the national day of praying and fasting to take that day off and go to Church and ask God to end the horrible war.
As the people called upon God in repentance, not long after that, the civil war finally came to an end.

Today, the world is faced with a raging war in Eastern Europe. Daily the battles are increasing and becoming more brutal. Many nations have been forced to take sides, resulting in rising political tensions, financial uncertainties and anxieties across the globe.
As believers, we cannot act unaffected.
It is certainly time for us to call upon God to divinely intervene.
God is our solid rock upon which we can stand when all other grounds are shaking and sinking fast.
He is our hope from ages past, He is our refuge and strength and ever present help in trouble..
Through prayer, we can engage His power for a forceful turnaround of situations.
Prayer rearranges things and brings them into divine alignment with God’s will.
Miracles will surely happen as we begin to call upon the Lord.
As we intercede, He will put in motion an orchestration of events, that will overturn the plans of the enemy and establish victory for His people.
Truly, prayer changes things!
Those who know the secret of kneeling before God in prayers will always stand victorious over life’s challenges..

The Bible rightly predicts that the end times would be perilous times. That is what we are seeing today.
Apart from what is happening on the global stage, there are also battles confronting people in their personal lives.
However, as believers we are destined to triumph always through Christ.
As we engage the forces of prayers, faith from God’s Word, and praise, we will triumph over every conflict.
Therefore today, instead of passively watching events, let us become spiritually involved by calling upon God.
Certainly, they that call upon the Lord shall not be ashamed.
As we engage in intercession we shall soon see God’s divine intervention in amazing miracles, signs and wonders.

PRAYER: Lord, I thank You for establishing for me a definite turnaround in every issue of concern. Thank You for giving me the victory over every confrontation in Jesus Name.
