Memory verse:-"When the men got up to leave, they looked down toward Sodom, and Abraham walked
along with them to see them on their way. Then the Lord said, "Shall I hide from
Abraham what I am about to do? Abraham will surely become a great and powerful
nation, and all nations on earth will be blessed through him. For I have chosen him, so
that he will direct his children and his household after him to keep the way of the Lord by
doing what is right and just, so that the Lord will bring about for Abraham what he has
promised him.”
Then the Lord said, "The outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is so great and their sin
so grievous that I will go down and see if what they have done is as bad as the outcry that
has reached me. If not, I will know.” The men turned away and went toward Sodom , but
Abraham remained standing before the Lord. Then Abraham approached him and said:
"Will you sweep away the righteous with the wicked? What if there are fifty righteous
people in the city? Will you really sweep it away and not spare the place for the sake of
the fifty righteous people in it? Far be it from you to do such a thing—to kill the righteous
with the wicked, treating the righteous and the wicked alike. Far be it from you! Will not
the Judge of all the earth do right?”
The Lord said, "If I find fifty righteous people in the city of Sodom , I will spare the
whole place for their sake.” Then Abraham spoke up again: "Now that I have been so
bold as to speak to the Lord, though I am nothing but dust and ashes, what if the number
of the righteous is five less than fifty? Will you destroy the whole city because of five
people?” "If I find forty-five there,” he said, "I will not destroy it.” Once again he spoke
to him, "What if only forty are found there?” He said, "For the sake of forty, I will not
do it.” Then he said, "May the Lord not be angry, but let me speak. What if only thirty
can be found there?” He answered, "I will not do it if I find thirty there.” Abraham said,
"Now that I have been so bold as to speak to the Lord, what if only twenty can be found
there?” He said, "For the sake of twenty, I will not destroy it.” Then he said, "May the
Lord not be angry, but let me speak just once more. What if only ten can be found
there?” He answered, "For the sake of ten, I will not destroy it.” When the Lord had
finished speaking with Abraham, he left, and Abraham returned home.”
When God’s children pray and give praises to him, he moves in his supernatural way in bringing blessings upon the earth. And when sin also becomes too great on earth it moves God to bring curse and judgment upon the earth. Sodom and Gomorrah sin was so great that God needed to visit the earth. Sin always brings destruction and it was so sad that within these cities ten righteous people were not found. If God were to visit your country and look for ten righteous people will you be one of them? It is obvious that God’s eyes moves day and night on this earth looking for people whose heart are right and standing in prayer for their people or country. Your good heart and prayer can stop a curse or the wrath of God against a nation.
