The Kings Of The Earth

Jesus' Word For "Shine" At Challenge Stadium

At Challenge Stadium today, while preparations were ramping up for the Commonwealth Prayer Initiative "Shine" launch, I had some quiet time so asked Jesus "how shall I pray?" He answered with one word: "nations". When you think about it, the nations and their people are the focus of this whole thing: CHOGM, CPI, Project 54, Shine and Converge.

The word "nations" appears throughout Scripture. On the very last page of the Bible Jesus is telling the Apostle John what He is ultimately going to bring forth . .

(Revelation 21:10-11,22-24)   And He . . showed me the holy city Jerusalem coming down out of heaven from God, having the glory of God, its radiance like a rare jewel, like a jasper, clear as crystal . . And I saw no temple in the city, for its temple is the Lord God the Almighty and the Lamb. And the city has no need of sun or moon to shine on it, for the glory of God gives it light, and its lamp is the Lamb. By its light will the nations walk, and the kings of the earth will bring their glory into it . . 

" . . and the kings of the earth will bring their glory into it . . "

What promise! What prophesy!

The new Jerusalem is near. It will be home not just for us Christians, but the world's rulers will bring their glory and all those in their rule. They will join us, under Jesus' rule!

We know that God's will is “that none should perish" (2 Peter 3:9). We are part of God's "today" movement towards His goal.

Many in the world, especially in the media, say that the British Commonwealth of 54 nations, and the CHOGM meetings are anachronistic, paternalistic, and worthless. But we are assured by our own Lord Jesus that this is not true.

Over the past two years many, many prophetic words have confirmed that Jesus and our Father God are for the Commonwealth and her 2.1 billion people and that CHOGM 2011 will be a blessing to many millions as God advances what He has always planed!

Amen.
