Moving Forward

Posted by brian On February - 5 - 2010

Announced today is the agreement on Policing and Justice betwenn Sinn Fein and the DUP. Any agreement appears to be a step forward. Continue to pray, however for all the parties to find agreement together, including the UUP, SDLP, Alliance and others. There still remains outstanding and possibly significant areas of disagreement. Consultation and debate still need to take place, but we believe what we are seeing  is  more hope and evidence that there will be no return to the pain of the past. 

Every agreement will also need “good faith” (trust between the parties) to be walked out. So, continue to pray for wisdom and strength for all those involved to deliver the best that God has for Northern Ireland. Only by God’s grace and blessing will this be accomplished; for this we pray and for this we believe. By relying upon God, we will find that He is greater than our human frailty and trials; and indeed, nothing shall be impossible for us through Christ.

Mark 11:24 says, ” Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.” (KJV) Thank you God for forward movement! Thy kingdom come; thy will be done!

The Time for a Deal

Posted by brian On February - 2 - 2010

Praise God today for ruling and reigning on high and in the kingdoms of men as Daniel 4:17,25, 32 says.  It’s by God’s hand and by His wisdom that our politicians are able to do what is right in the sight of God and man, bringing creative solutions to our nation’s particular needs.

The scripture says, “Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it:” (Psalm 127:1). As hard as our politicians work (and they do work!), the scripture says without the favour and blessing of God it could all crumble like a house made of cards or one built on the sand. God gives the power to create agreements that will last and fulfil the needs of all of the people of Northern Ireland for many years to come.

Prov 2:6 says, “For the LORD giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding.” (KJV)

Let’s give God thanks today His wisdom is bringing agreement between the major parties and all our MLAs in Stormont. Thank God that He intervenes (involves Himself with us) and that He rules and reigns in the kingdoms of men! Make sure you give Him the glory today!
