When the Sun smiles with the golden warmth of a new morning on the rocky crags that mark the eastern boundary of our great nation, Canada will be 140 years old.
Canada's motto "A Mari usque ad Mare" (From sea to sea) is based on biblical scripture: "He shall have dominion from sea to sea and from the river unto the ends of the earth (
Psalm 72:8)". Our hope and prayer this Canada Day is that our motto will become our reality in our generation. Our holy aspiration is that Jesus Christ will be Lord in Canada from sea to sea to sea.
May God bless our nation with the fulfilment of the prophet's promise:
"And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh:" May God grant that the light of the Gospel of Jesus Christ would shine into every home in our nation, and that every Canadian believer would experience their own personal Pentecost in Canada.
May the Gospel of Christ shine across our land bringing light to every person, peoples, and language in our multicultural mosaic. May the people of the seas, forests, cities, plains, and tundra hear the name of Jesus and live. God, let the Day of Pentecost fully come to this land we love.
May this Canada Day find you in the house of God, and may we all find there the empowerment to change our nation with our prayers and our witness.
Happy Canada Day
