Generation Affectors for Christ

In secondary school,the History textbook asked why do we have to study history. We have to study history to learn from the events for one and not let history repeat itself and to also learn about people and what they did that affected the world whether be it positive or negative the effects.

Most of us would have heard the actrocities of what Adolf Hitler had done in WWII, exterminating 6 million jews in the holocaust. He initiated the war, why? because he wanted a pure 'Aryan' breed of germans. He like many germans after WWI, were devastated by the terms of the treaty of Versailles in having the allies claim german territory and made to pay war reparations. People simply took the misery in and took to the beerhalls and that set the stage for Hitler in his period where he incited an uprising which led to his arrest and put in prison where he wrote 'mein kampf' which depicted his ideals and propagated them~ Until his death of the collaspe of the third reich he was a force to be reckoned with. He held the respect of the german people.why? He had charisma,driven by passion in what he believed that so consumed him and flows right outta him and it became contagious,the concept of having a germany for the germans. He invaded much of Europe with a strategy known as 'blitz krieg' which meant lighting warefare in which he was able to capture most parts of Europe in a very short period of time and it was also adopted by the Japanese at the Asian theatre of war.
Ah! this aint a history lesson Im giving here.
If the passion that we have so much in our hearts we know and with our mouths declare we love. The passion that we have should have by now swept the nation of Singapore and have taken it by storm. The love of Christ will so much consume us and flow out in all His anointing and power unlike that of Hitler, a mere man with a gift and passion for a cause of his country. We too must claim our country with such a passion and conquer with a 'Holy Spirit blitz krieg' the principalities of darkness taking captive the beliefs of the people. We have given up ground in compromises and have lost territories because we see each other, and saw no hope in each other's eyes and some had fallen off. Compromise is something people hold disdain for.

The Japanese had invaded themselves right down to Thailand and there the Thais took their pride of never being a colony of any foreign country and put it in a pact with the Japs to allow safe passage through and then having held a monument built by the result of their letting in, the Japs took in prisoners of war to build a railway which later became know as the 'death railway' in Thailand.It set itself a mark of compromise known nowadays to people as adapting themselves to the modern culture. secularism.

6 million jews by now would have tripled or quadripled in this two generations from then till now.Likewise, we can save the people falling into the halocaust of their own sins and self righteousness never knowing who can Justify them of their sins and know their death penalty for their sins had been paid by Jesus Christ,the Son of the living God. Or are we simply apathetic like everyone else? We can be history makers for the glory of God who made us to be. The Church stands in it's community to affect it,not to occupy space.
We are to affect the marketplaces of where we study,work or even at the coffeeshops where we have our meals and leisure.We're entity unto ourselves, an army of the Most high King and we must have such a passion to stand in the gap on behalf of our nation flowing out of us the Spirit of reconciliation which reaches into their hearts and gives them the knowledge of who they are and Christ Jesus. We must first have that love of Christ so saturate our very being with the compassion of Christ, together with a crucified self,sacrificed as a pleasing offering to God and a personal conviction and Christ driven passion and that certainly will wreak havoc in hell.
