PRAY FOR YOUR NATIONAL CAUSE: WE ARE CALLED TO PRAY FOR LEADERS AND LEADERSHIP!
“For the KINGDOM is the Lord’s, And He RULES over the NATIONS” Psalms 22:28.
It’s high time that we PRAY in God’s presence into our national LEADERS for leadership before they become RULERS on rulership mandate. Let us PRAY for good GOVERNANCE whenever and wherever there’s – Election, Politics, Politicians and in other forms of Leadership: it’s of scriptural injunctions that we PRAY for all who are in position of leadership and authority and that include also whenever and wherever there’s an upcoming elections into such leadership for governance and management of national resources in such a Place in our nations.
“I EXHORT therefore, that, FIRST OF ALL, SUPPLICATIONS, PRAYERS, INTERCESSIONS, and GIVING OF THANKS, be MADE for all men; 2 FOR KINGS, AND FOR ALL THAT ARE IN AUTHORITY; that we may LEAD a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. 3 For this is GOOD and ACCEPTABLE in the SIGHT of God our Saviour. . .” 1 Timothy 2:1-3.
Lets not be so cumbersome with the political election campaign and manifestos than about GOVERNANCE. It’s just as some people will burn much energy PREPARING for the WEDDING of a day rather than PREPARING for the MARRIAGE of a life time itself; hence many marital breakdowns today as in many political sphere breakdowns in many nations of the world.
Politics as in any leadership and management of human resources is not a dirty game as such as some may presume, but it’s some of the people involved and engaged in it, that do make it a seems dirty and unhealthy acts of governance just as in any other profession where they are failures that brings down the such to it’s knees. When people are carried away with their dirty crafts and acts as politicians with their uninformed politics than the very act of leadership in governance, it breeds failure and setbacks in leadership and governance, and create rage with the governed as we can see in many places.
Until LEADERSHIP are GOVERNED by the GOVERNOR himself through them, He who rules among the NATIONS, such will only do politics with its dirty craft and will not give a healthy leadership in governance to the people. Hence many governmental nations are at war today with their dirt and dirty, uninformed and infested policies upon the governed.
Lets pray for the ACTS OF GOVERNANCE than the politics of it, that He – Our God, who GOVERNS and RULES among the NATIONS, may LEAD us and be in CHARGE over our National leaderships for us to have and enjoy, a quite and peaceful nations through informed lead leadership and not uninformed rulers that craves after rulership of their subjects.
SELAH -PAUSE AND THINK.
