In today's world, our answer for the nations and their Godless conditions is to send x-millions and billions of economic aide to them. It's the world's answer to keeping a nation in its borders. If they are poor give them money, don't transform them. If they are politically riotous, give them advise, advisors, and prop them up with diplomatic visits. If they are suffering calamities, send them cash, volunteers, big time aide. If they are in war, send them NATO or U.S. technologies, air space coverage or military advisors. If they have famine send them agricultural aide, equipment, AG specialists. The politics of the West always have something to send.
The problem is we are sending the wrong stuff.
The plight of nations will never be satisfied by money, diplomacy, aide, advisors or the good will of nations wishing to help them. No nation has the cure to another nations misery outside of fixing what is the root cause of that misery. They may have a temporary fix but not the answer.
The reason is that most nations problems are rooted in their avariance to God, contrasted with trying to help them by fixing what seems to ail them. The ailments that we send so much money to fix are more the outcroping of faulty diplomatic philosophy's of those nations. They have been deliberate to make treaties with sympathetic nations but lack the one political connection that can rescue them - that is to have representation in the 'House of God..
Most of the nations of the world are in ignorance of the blessings of God. They are rebels serving idols. They have no favor with God, they have no ear to the Divine. The evidences of the struggles are economic hardship, moral depravity, godless societal programs, hatred, thievery, murder, war, famine (both earthly and spiritual) and heart breaking misery amongst its people.
God's answer to the world of nations which are lost and suffering is to send men and women who He (God) has placed a picture of their desperate condition on their heart. They have a passion, a burden for that nation and a spiritual strength to rescue it from its own depravity. The answer to every nations misery is men and women of God. They put the trumpet of God to their lips and sound the divine call of action to rescue that country from its divine bankruptcy.
Our Lord has the answers to the needs of the nations. The Holy Spirit responds to the men and prophets He has called and to those He wants to send. He gave us a Scriptural mandate to carry the message of redemption to all men everywhere... With the message of redemption and the changes it accomplishes on mens heart comes 'redemptive lift'. The lift is what happens when mens hearts are in line with Gods' purposes.....Matt 28:19-20, Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world.
When He says "Go," He means "Go!" When He says "Go YE," he means "Go YE." When He says "INTO ALL THE WORLD," He means "ALL THE WORLD!" When He says "PREACH The GOSPEL," He means 'PREACH THE GOSPEL!" Surely God means what He says!
God clearly tells us how to influence and save nations....The command is, "Go and make disciples of all nations." The promise (and it is a beautiful one) is "Lo, I am with you."
Does anyone have the right to leapfrog the command and then hug the promise? It is time for the church to rouse up from its complacency. God will be with you! Go save the nations! Find a larger canvas, catch a wider vision. Dare bolder programs. God will be with You! Go save the nations! Rouse up and go forth to conquer for Christ, even to the uttermost parts and the isles of the sea."
Heathens will be bombing the world forever till we replace the godless, darkened teachings of devil warriors with the transforming message of the love of Jesus Christ. They don't just need aide, they need preaching, and teaching from anointed servants of God. + We must place love and hope in their hearts and begin to compete in their clouded minds for their thoughts, dreams, ideals and their hearts. No devil or witch doctor, Iman or monk can compete with the powerful, positive life changing message of the Gospel. It will turn the world upside down. We need to pray for and send men and women to go and do it...NOW! Go ye!!
