By the blessing of the upright the city is exalted: but it is overthrown by the mouth of the wicked (Proverbs 11:11)
Jesus taught extensively on the importance and power of word.
In Mark 11:23 He said, …. you shall have what you say.” That’s an established law in the realm of the spirit-what you say is what you get whether positive or negative.
Now, bringing this home to our nation, the words we speak about our country will make or mar the peace, progress and development of the nation.
As God’s people, our words are loaded with power (Ecclesiastes 8:4), therefore, let the words you speak about your country be words that will shape, build and establish her in prosperity, unity, peace, progress and economic stability, and teach others to do the same.
Remember the words of Jesus Christ in Mathew 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.
The word nation in the preceding scripture is from the Greek word” ethnos, meaning a group, a company people of the same nature or genus? A group with common characteristics, vision or trade, it refers to the people in your world of influence – your sphere of contact or interaction-you’re to teach them to observe, practice and carry out the words of Jesus.
This is something every Christian needs to do. You’re to teach those in your “ethnos” the positive lifestyle.
