Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people (Proverbs 14:34 KJV)<\/em><\/p>\n [fusion_separator style_type=”single solid” top_margin=”5″ bottom_margin=”25″ sep_color=”” border_size=”” icon=”fa-coffee” icon_circle=”yes” icon_circle_color=”” width=”” alignment=”center” class=”” id=””\/]<\/p>\n The rise or fall of a nation is determined by the attitude and behaviour of the people who dwell there. Our rise or fall depends on us.<\/p>\n We are the people who makes the nation, if we commit to do what is right, our nation shall rise. Righteousness exalts a nation. Sitting idle and criticizing our leaders will not bring promoting and prosperity.<\/p>\n The change we seek and the exaltation we desire rests with us. If we rise in right doing, we shall prosper, if we don\u2019t, we shall be made to obey others unquestioningly.<\/p>\n I pray that you shall arise, seize the occasion and commit yourself to doing what is right. Sin is a reproach to every people. Whether it\u2019s sin in high places or low places; it\u2019s a reproach. Sin is sin and brings reproach.<\/p>\n Receive grace from above and commit yourself to do right at your workplace,\u00a0in the home, in the dark and in light. When others fail take caution and don\u2019t be quick to criticize; you are also not human.<\/p>\n The future of this generation, this church, this nation is resident in us. We have the power of to make this church and nation great again. Nothing is great by working automatic, there are always people that work on it.<\/p>\n America may be great but that is simply because the people made it great. That business is great because some people are committed to making it great. This is our time to arise and make this Church great again. Arise! Receive grace to work out this enlargement I am talking about.<\/p>\n I planted, Apollos watered; God gave the increase. You will increase! We will increase! We will expand and be enlarged but it takes the Pauls and Apollos to plant and water diligently. We can make this nation great again if you stop fighting and criticising leadership and start building.<\/p>\n Remember, righteousness exalts a nation but sin is a reproach to every people.<\/p>\n Stay blessed, I love you!<\/p>\n [\/fusion_text][\/fusion_builder_column][\/fusion_builder_row][\/fusion_builder_container][fusion_builder_container hundred_percent=”no” equal_height_columns=”yes” hide_on_mobile=”small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility” background_color=”#0198c6″ background_position=”center center” background_repeat=”no-repeat” fade=”no” background_parallax=”none” enable_mobile=”no” parallax_speed=”0.3″ video_aspect_ratio=”16:9″ video_loop=”yes” video_mute=”yes” overlay_opacity=”0.5″ border_style=”solid” margin_bottom=”40px” padding_top=”30px” padding_right=”20″ padding_bottom=”10px” padding_left=”20″ admin_toggled=”no”][fusion_builder_row][fusion_builder_column type=”1_6″ layout=”1_6″ spacing=”” center_content=”no” hover_type=”none” link=”” min_height=”” hide_on_mobile=”small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility” class=”” id=”” background_color=”” background_image=”” background_position=”left top” background_repeat=”no-repeat” border_size=”0″ border_color=”” border_style=”solid” border_position=”all” padding=”” dimension_margin=”” animation_type=”” animation_direction=”left” animation_speed=”0.3″ animation_offset=”” last=”no”][fusion_imageframe image_id=”13442″ style_type=”none” hover_type=”zoomin” align=”none” lightbox=”no” alt=”The City Institute of Ministry” link=”http:\/\/cityinstituteofministry.com\/” linktarget=”_blank” hide_on_mobile=”small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility” animation_direction=”left” animation_speed=”0.3″]http:\/\/highcitychurch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/The-City-Institute-Of-Ministry-Logo.png[\/fusion_imageframe][\/fusion_builder_column][fusion_builder_column type=”4_5″ layout=”4_5″ spacing=”” center_content=”no” hover_type=”none” link=”” min_height=”” hide_on_mobile=”small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility” class=”” id=”” background_color=”” background_image=”” background_position=”left top” background_repeat=”no-repeat” border_size=”0″ border_color=”” border_style=”solid” border_position=”all” padding=”” animation_type=”” animation_direction=”left” animation_speed=”0.3″ animation_offset=”” last=”no”][fusion_text]<\/p>\n And the things you have heard me say in the presence of many witnesses entrust to reliable men who will also be qualified to teach others.
