Interceding for Our Nation's Renewal 2 Chronicles 7:1-3, after Solomon finished praying at the dedication of the temple, fire came down from heaven, consuming the sacrifices, and the glory of the Lord filled the temple. The people bowed down in worship and praised God, saying, "He is good; his love endures forever."In verses 12-20, the Lord appears to Solomon and reaffirms his covenant. He promises that if his people humble themselves, pray, seek his face, and turn from their wicked ways, he will hear from heaven, forgive their sin, and heal their land. The Lord warns that disobedience will bring judgment, but obedience will bring blessings for generations.This message emphasizes the importance of repentance, prayer, and obedience as essential elements in seeking God's renewal and blessing upon a nation. |
