“So I returned, and considered all the oppressions that are done under the sun: and behold the tears of such as were oppressed, and they had no comforter; and on the side of their oppressors there was power; but they had no comforter.”
Ecclesiastes 4:1 KJV
Solomon’s wisdom says, “Again, I observed all the oppression that takes place under the sun. I saw the tears of the oppressed, with no one to comfort them. The oppressors have great power, and their victims are helpless.” When we see nations where poverty is continuing for generations and led by oppressive governments and politicians, our hearts are cut with compassion. This is why the Church was born two thousand years ago, when our God rose victorious from the dead and sent His Holy Spirit to empower the Church. The Church is here to bring the Kingdom of God on earth as it is in heaven. The Church has the Gospel for the Spirit of the Lord God has taken control of all those who believe the Word. The Lord has chosen and sent us to tell the oppressed the Gospel, to heal the brokenhearted, and to announce freedom for prisoners who are captive to wrong beliefs; to console those who mourn, to give them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they may be called trees of righteousness, The planting of the Lord, that He may be glorified. May the true Church recognise the responsibility God has placed on us to bring the Gospel to all, for God loves all mankind. Amen!
