PRAY FOR HAITI DAY 1

GLOBAL PRAYER INITIATIVE OF HAITIAN CHURCHES

Beginning December 3rd Haitian Churches and Christian businesses have come together to pray for Haiti in an unprecedented way. Haitians from around the world will be gathering in churches to fast and pray, hold revivals and intercede on behalf of Haiti. This prayer movement will continue for 40 Days and will end on January 12, 2011 the first anniversary of the devastating earthquake that occurred in Haiti. Please join us by praying for Haiti everyday for the next 40 Days.


2 Chronicles 7:14
if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.

In this passage God is instructing His people on what to do when they come upon difficult times. One of the most significant things God tells them to do is repent “Turn from their wicked ways.” Many do not understand what true repentance is. Many do not understand what kind of repentance that God accepts, For example; Esau failed to find repentance for simply selling his birthright even though he sought it desperately with tears while David committed what we would consider a greater sin and his repentance was acceptable. Esau’s repentance was faulty because he did not understand true repentance. He was a profane fornicator (see Hebrews 12:16–17), and he simply wanted to regain the blessings that he had lost. Whereas, when David was confronted with his sins of murder and adultery, however, he repented for the right reason. He wanted to restore fellowship with God. If we repent for any other reason than this we are not experiencing true repentance. (See Psalm 51) The Haitian Churches in Haiti and abroad must seek repentance from God not because we want to experience the blessings of God but because we want to restore our relationship with God. It is when our relationship with God has been reestablished for the right reason we’ll be able to experience his blessings. Let us pray and ask the Lord to help us to repent for the right reason, because we want and intimate relationship with God more than anything and watch what He will do with our lives and our country.
