-Devotion and Prayer for the Day: Hosea 1

Join us in today’s prayer and devotion:

Read Hosea 1 and then join us in prayer:

Our Father,

Through the prophet Hosea You declared judgment upon the nation of Israel and called them “not my people.” But You also declared that in that same land the day would come that a people would be called “the sons of the living God’ and the children of both Judah and Israel would be gather together again under one ruler.

You have called all those who believe in Your Son Jesus, who was born and ministered in that place, Your people and ‘children of God.’ Also in this generation, the children of Judah and Israel have been gather back together as a nation once more. We now look forward to the coming again of Jesus Christ who will rule that nation and the entire world.

We look forward to that time which was prophesied by the prophets to be a time of peace, health, and prosperity. But before that great day, Your Word and Gospel about that coming Kingdom of Jesus must be proclaimed in all the world, in every nation and language. We want to participate in that process.

You also promised through Your prophet Joel that Your Spirit would be poured out upon the entire world. We are now looking for that promise to be completely fulfilled and we seek to be a part of that great world revival and harvest.

In Jesus name, Amen.
