Arise, O God, judge the earth; for you shall inherit all the nations! Psalm 82:8
It is unbiblical, disobedient, and disrespectful to a sovereign God to assign His blessing or rule to only one nation or people group. God rules the world. God loves the world. God judges the world. The gospel is a global hope, the church is universal, multi-cultural, and Christians should be concerned with every soul on earth. No person on this planet is beyond God’s sovereign and absolute rule. No parliament can overrule Him. No president orders Him. No army will stand against His hosts. No sinner can defy His holiness. God has inherited all the nations and knows exactly what He will do for them for our good and His glory.
One of the problems with any nation claiming exclusivity as a “Christian” nation is that such a claim creates a conundrum in God’s sovereignty. All nations are under the rule of the King of Kings. Some may not accept it. Most people in the world scoff at the notion. Still, God rules the nations and will always do so. He judges us all. So let’s not forget then that praying “God bless Russia” is equally as important as “God bless the USA”. God will rule and bless all people. The gospel is global. We make Jesus know by preaching the good news everywhere to everyone.
God of this globe, Rule us all. Convict of sin, righteousness, and judgment. Turn nations to You! Turn leaders to You! Turn cities to You! Save now! Rule now. Judge the nations, Your inheritance!
Amen
