| Redeeming the Structures and Systems of Society |
| ||||
Isaiah 61:4, Psalm 82:3-6
And they shall build the old wastes, they shall raise up the former desolations, and they shall repair the waste cities, the desolations of many generations. *Defend the poor and fatherless: do justice to the afflicted and needy …: rid them out of the hand of the wicked. They know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are out of course. I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High
And they shall build the old wastes, they shall raise up the former desolations, and they shall repair the waste cities, the desolations of many generations. *Defend the poor and fatherless: do justice to the afflicted and needy …: rid them out of the hand of the wicked.

Along with the fall of man came the fall of many systems and structures of society. Satan is negatively influencing the lives of those who are unsaved in order to establish structures and systems that are harmful to lives and to society. So many good foundations and values of society have been eroded and so much evil, wickedness and darkness is prevailing in our organizations and societies. God wants to use us to rebuild these broken structures and systems.
God used Joseph to establish a viable system for the nation of Egypt that preserved the economy and the lives of people there, even in time of famine. In the same way, God used Nehemiah to rebuild the broken walls of Jerusalem. As Moses modeled the Tabernacle in the wilderness after the Heavenly pattern that God revealed to Him (Exo.25:8-9,40), God wants you and I to rebuild the structures and systems of the world after the pattern He has in mind for them so that His will will be done on earth as it is in Heaven, Matt.6:10.
To redeem the structures and systems of society, we will require integrity, God's wisdom and power, great diligence and boldness. The wisdom, courage, diligence and power of Christ will make you even more effective than people like Nehemiah, Joseph and Daniel were in their days. God will use you to say no to evil and to restore justice and fairness to organizations and the society. As righteousness prevails in our families, organizations and society, God will exalt our nation and remove reproach from our land, Prov.14:34.
PRAYER FOCUS: Ask God to use you to rebuild broken systems and structures in your family, organization and the society.
