God gives us leaders that we wanted

Ro 13:1: "Everyone must submit to governing authorities. For all authority comes from God, and those in positions of authority have been placed there by God."

All authority either good or bad is from God, and they are placed in their positions of authority by God. But it isn't God that chooses leaders for nations, we only received from God the kind of leaders we wanted and God allowed them to rule over us. It is the corruption that some of our nations allow in their democracy that has allowed inept leaders to govern them, and God wasn't the cause of the bad leadership they have been having. Our inability to always pray for our leaders also contributes to the bad policy they chose for us. Nations will rejoice when the godly are in authority, but they will groan when the wicked rule over them. Bad governance will continue to pervade nations unless the church wakes up from its sleep. The church has been sleeping for many years in some nations and watching the enemies invade their political space and continue to rule over the righteous with their evil policies, while the righteous are only praying. Our participation in the governance of our nations shouldn't be by intercession and voting alone but also to be part of the process by joining a credible political party that has good interests for the people. We can get involved in politics for the sake of bringing righteous governance over our nation and not being political by lifestyle or in the church leadership. Politics is a platform in a democratic system of governance to become a leader of a nation and not by praying alone. We are not joining politics for politicking sake but to govern and bring the kingdom rules of God over our nation. This implies that we should not be passive members of political parties that we join, but be active members by making our voice, money, participation, and influence known. The process to ascend to the political throne of our nations may not be perfect, yet we must be part of it and remain a shining light through the process. If we believe that bringing godly leadership over our nations is part of the inheritance given to us by God, we will arise, take the bull by the horn and decide who rules over us.

Power of Persistence

Power of Persistence  And Gideon came to Jordan, and passed over, he, and the three hundred men that were with him, faint, yet pursuing them. Judges 8:4 Persistence is essential for pursuing a significant purpose and achieving a vision that seems beyond our strength. Despite their exhaustion, Gideon and his soldiers continued their pursuit of their enemies, demonstrating the power of a clear and compelling goal to inspire perseverance in fulfilling a dream. Persistence allows us to remain consistent and steadfast in our pursuits. Without a great vision, we may struggle to rise from complacency and actively seek God with the dedication needed for constant prayer, which builds a strong spirit, deepens our faith, enhances our understanding of the Word of God, and helps us grow in alignment with our vision.  God does not use casual seekers for the advancement of His kingdom; He relies on those who are consistent and committed. Persistence in prayer and faith is key to receiving an...

You are worthy O Lord..

You are worthy O Lord.. The twenty-four elders fall down before Him who sits on the throne and worship Him who lives forever and ever. They cast their crowns before the throne, saying, "You are worthy, O Lord, to receive glory, honour, and power; for You have created all things, and for Your pleasure, they are and were created." — Revelation 4:10-11 Even with the privilege of sitting around God's throne, these elders demonstrate a deep sense of humility before Him. When the living creatures give glory, honour, and thanks to God, the elders do not remain seated, proud of their crowns. Instead, they rise from their seats and fall down before God. In worship, they lay their crowns at His feet, proclaiming that He alone is worthy of glory, honour, and power. The crowned elders understand that there is only one King, and that King is God, deserving of all glory despite the honour they have been given. Like these elders, we must not allow the privileges, gifts, bles...

The Word became Answer

Image
The Word became Answer RSV, John 1:14: "And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, full of grace and truth; we have beheld his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father." The Word, or Logos, became human as God's response to our need for salvation, addressing all our spiritual needs and the limitations we face as humans. The written word, the scriptures, is also provided by God to meet our needs. However, many struggle to find answers to their challenges in the scriptures due to their lack of understanding of them. But those who genuinely seek truth from the scriptures and are willing to obey God's guidance will find that the scriptures are revealed to them, providing a word from God. Casual reading of the scriptures will not yield meaningful benefits. Our comprehension of the scriptures plays a significant role in how we apply them and the guidance we receive. Therefore, we must not only read the scriptures but also study them carefully to uncove...
