Dear Editor,
I gave The Lord thanks for Kaieteur News’ spiritual insight, maturity, humility, and boldness, to call on the people of Guyana to pray for the choking bonds of wickedness to be paralyzed, and be destroyed, so that it’s evil grip on this nation be loosed, be obliterated, and never return.
Mr. Editor, I believe that it was the Prayer of many that saw the faithfulness of God manifested in the election of May 11th. 2015, for a new and just government to take over the reins of the nation. The Scripture informs us that the faithfulness of God last throughout all generations, so we must have no doubt that His faithfulness will continue to rest upon the land and His blessings will continue to be poured out upon it as we continue in Prayer for this Dear Nation of ours.
We must however be cognizant of the reality that just as today transitions to tomorrow at midnight, there is darkness from the time of midnight to just before sunrise, and the spiritual reality is, that that is the time evil thrives in. We see it in the increase of suicides, murders, robberies, and other criminal and devious activities, but we also see that the time is shorter still to sunrise over Guyana, as it is said “it is always darkest nearest the dawn’, the darkness will have to flee, and we will see the country being like the sun when it rises in its strength, at which time we will proclaim over this dear land before it celebrates its 50th year of Independence, (which incidentally is a year of jubilee) “Arise and shine for your light has come and the Glory of the Lord is risen upon thee”
Yes Mr. Editor, with the eyes of faith, I see from a distance the emerging sunlight as many have continued in prayer for this nation, I feel the power of the Ruler of the Kings of the earth descending upon it, and I hear the crumbling of the citadels of the evil ones, who are now fleeing for refuge to other countries and places. For those who remain impatient about the pace at which things are moving let them be reminded that sunrise does not occur at midnight, night must run its course, and the dawn will surely come.
As you so perspicaciously pointed out Mr. Editor, Guyana is a deeply religious country with 57% of the population being Christians, and others, Muslims and Hindus, must all pray for the Government to solve the problems besetting the country. May I add the Scriptural injunction:-”It is righteousness that exalts a nation” and this must be the poignancy of our Prayers so that effective and enduring prosperity, the reward from God, never cease to flow on the land.
Mr. Editor. It now falls into the realm of the Church that is entrusted with the mysteries of God to wage a good warfare against the Principalities, the powers and the rulers of the darkness that have hither fore beset the nation so that the light of Christ illuminate the hearts of the people even as the sun rises in its strength and its heat dries up the carcass, and extinguish the stench of evil that pervaded the nation. Mr. Editor, I end this with a Prayer for You, Kaieteur News and the Government of Guyana.
May God through His Son Jesus Christ, bestow on you all, Understanding to know Him, diligence to seek Him, Wisdom to find Him, a faithfulness to embrace Him, and the will to walk in the light of His Presence and exult in His righteousness. May He uphold our President, David Arthur Granger, with His righteous right hand, and grant him continued wisdom, and understanding to lead and conduct the affairs of the nation with uprightness and integrity. May he give to him a steadfast heart, which no unworthy affection may drag downwards, an unconquered heart which the burdens of governing a nation cannot wear out, and an upright heart which no unworthy or unjust purpose may tempt aside, and may he forever be mindful that he is always in God’s sight.
