Whose role is it to preserve the nations?

THE Bible tells the story of a prophet who visited a city that had bitter water and when the inhabitants of the city told him of the problem, he asked for a cruse of salt. After sprinkling the salt into the water, the bitterness went away. In the eyes of the others, sprinkling salt into bitter water to make it sweet was foolish.

Historians have argued over the impact Christianity has made on the world, questioning its relevance in today’s society. Who is a Christian and what is his role in present- day society?

The church throughout history was part of the educational system and in some places even governance. Jesus described Christians as the salt of the earth and we are the reason why the world is still functional. What role is the church playing in today’s society? When the prophet asked for salt, was it foolishness? or was it wisdom when the prophet took the salt and added it to the water of the city and immediately the water was healed and the land became fruitful? The church’s purpose is not to gather but to impact the world and those in the world. I believe the church in our generation is being positioned to impact not only the world but to demonstrate the character of Christ in each person’s individual space of impact.

Could the world systems be fully functional without the church? The Bible says the church has been planted by God as an agent of change and if the church would take its place, we could see transformation for the better in our nations.

The world and its people are going through a birthing process and we can say the waters are bitter. The responsibility to heal the economies of the nations and its infrastructure cannot be of a few individuals, but each believer is an agent of change.

Whose role is it to preserve the nations and heal the systems of the world and how can a believer use the power he has through God’s Spirit to institute this change? Let me pose a question to you: can the waters of your nation be healed? And what role are you taking if you say you are a believer?

The nations need to look to the church, but could it be that the church is looking to the nations?

The very foundation of the world was established by God and He has representatives who have been given tools and knowledge to unlock the vast wealth within each region.

God Bless You
