Bible Text: Micah 7:14-20Series: 21 DAYS FAST AND PRAY 2019 | INTRODUCTION:

Our text portrayed  a very pathetic situation in Israel, just as we see in our land today. The prophet could only watch as chaos reigned supreme throughout the land, destroying every inter-personal relationship. But he had great faith in God that things would turn around for the better. He proclaimed that he would wait upon God Who hears and saves at times of trouble. He was confident that when help would be needed, God would see His people through.

Today, we have come to a situation where only God can intervene because of the atrocities that are being perpetrated in the society: the killings, kidnappings, ritual murders, oppressions and suppressions, threatenings, etc (2Kgs.6:25-26).

The Lord through His Chief Servant has announced to the Watchmen to fear not instead that they should “Ponder anew what the Almighty can do”. So we must not be intimidated by the socio-political upheavals in the nation, neither should we be perturbed by the economic crises.
