After typhoon Ondoy and Pepeng – a new rain is about to come to the Philippines. I was reading my Bible when i chance upon this verses that deals exactly to what we are going through as a nation.

God was talking to a city devastated by a storm

Is. 54:11  ¶      “O storm-battered city, troubled and desolate! I will rebuild you with precious jewels and make your foundations from lapis lazuli.
Is. 54:12      I will make your towers of sparkling rubies, your gates of shining gems, and your walls of precious stones.

Is. 54:14      You will be secure under a government that is just and fair. Your enemies will stay far away. You will live in peace, and terror will not come near.

Is. 55:10  ¶      “The rain and snow come down from the heavens and stay on the ground to water the earth.
They cause the grain to grow, producing seed for the farmer and bread for the hungry.
Is. 55:11      It is the same with my word. I send it out, and it always produces fruit. It will accomplish all I want it to, and it will prosper everywhere I send it.

God is promising a new rain not to flood the Philippines and destory it but a new rain to rebuild this nation. To provide us with food and businesses. The key to this new rain is OBEDIENCE to the WORD. The Word of God will accomplish all it wants and it will prosper everywhere it is preached and lived.

We as a church is to take this opportunity to rise up and respond right. Let us start living the WORD and obey it. Expect for the new rain to come.
