It is time to make a stand for your Country
by Rev. Dr. M. Cohen on Sep.17, 2010, under Minister Notes
You must take a Stand. Lets read Romans 13: 1 .
Obey the Government
1 Every person should obey the government in power. No government would exist if it hadn’t been established by God. The governments which exist have been put in place by God.
Our President, King, or whatever the Ruler of a Country may use as a title, they are there be cause of God. You ask your self “how can I, as one person make any change in my Country?” It must start with you and to recognize that God is the supreme Ruler of all! 2 Chron. 7:14 .
14 However, if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves, pray, search for me, and turn from their evil ways, then I will hear {their prayer} from heaven, forgive their sins, and heal their country. 15 My eyes will be open, and my ears will pay attention to those prayers at this place.
If were to humble ourselves and Pray, turn from our sin, seek God, then, our voices will pierce the clouds and God will hear and heal our Land. There you have it. That’s how “WE” as one, can and will make a difference. OK, let’s read verses 1-10…
Romans 13: 1-10
Obey the Government
1 Every person should obey the government in power. No government would exist if it hadn’t been established by God. The governments which exist have been put in place by God. 2 Therefore, whoever resists the government opposes what God has established. Those who resist will bring punishment on themselves. 3 People who do what is right don’t have to be afraid of the government. But people who do what is wrong should be afraid of it. Would you like to live without being afraid of the government? Do what is right, and it will praise you. 4 The government is God’s servant working for your good. But if you do what is wrong, you should be afraid. The government has the right to carry out the death sentence. It is God’s servant, an avenger to execute God’s anger on anyone who does what is wrong. 5 Therefore, it is necessary for you to obey, not only because you’re afraid of God’s anger but also because of your own conscience. 6 That is also why you pay your taxes. People in the government are God’s servants while they do the work he has given them. 7 Pay everyone whatever you owe them. If you owe taxes, pay them. If you owe tolls, pay them. If you owe someone respect, respect that person. If you owe someone honor, honor that person.
Love One Another
8 Pay your debts as they come due. However, one debt you can never finish paying is the debt of love that you owe each other. The one who loves another person has fulfilled Moses’ Teachings. 9 The commandments, “Never commit adultery; never murder; never steal; never have wrong desires,” and every other commandment are summed up in this statement: “Love your neighbor as you love yourself.” 10 Love never does anything that is harmful to a neighbor. Therefore, love fulfills Moses’ Teachings.
If we change our life’s to please God, and to Love on another, others will see that it is good, and they will want to change themselves. We all want a piece of something good, preferably all that is good.
1Tim. 2: 1-4
1 First of all, I encourage you to make petitions, prayers, intercessions, and prayers of thanks for all people, 2 for rulers, and for everyone who has authority over us. Pray for these people so that we can have a quiet and peaceful life always lived in a godly and reverent way. 3 This is good and pleases God our Savior. 4 He wants all people to be saved and to learn the truth.
We must PRAY for all our leaders and authorities, whether Mayor, Police, Minister, City Office it doesn’t matter. Pray for all !!
If we change our lives, and start living for God, others will see the GOOD change in you and will want to also change. We must evaluate our own selves, where we truly are with God and our true faith in Christ. We must start doing the will of our Father in Heaven and not that of our own. There are people in need every where. They need our help. If you go to Church, and do not tithe, then please start doing so.
1 Now, concerning the money to be collected for God’s people , I want you to do as I directed the churches in Galatia. 2 Every Sunday each of you should set aside some of your money and save it. Then money won’t have to be collected when I come.
1 Cor 16:1-2 (GW)
