LET US PRAY FOR OUR LEADERS

-
Deutronomy 17:15-17&20
 "you shall surely set a king over you whom the LORD your God chooses; one from among your brethren you shall set as king over you; you may not set a foreigner over you, who is not your brother.
 "But he shall not multiply horses for himself, nor cause the people to return to Egypt to multiply horses, for the LORD has said to you, 'You shall not return that way again.'
 "Neither shall he multiply wives for himself, lest his heart turn away; nor shall he greatly multiply silver and gold for himself.
"that his heart may not be lifted above his brethren, that he may not turn aside from the commandment to the right hand or to the left, and that he may prolong his days in his kingdom, he and his children in the midst of Israel.

We should vote 😀👍

There is need to pray for those who lead and those who would lead us. The bible says:

Romans 13:1&2
 Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God.
 Therefore whoever resists the authority resists the ordinance of God, and those who resist will bring judgment on themselves.

We should note that God appoints individuals and not a government system. He appoints individuals that occupy a particular position of authority and they would all account to Him.

The children of Isreal had God as their king. What a great privilege but when they saw the King of Ammonites they wanted a king for themselves.

1Samuel 12:12
 "And when you saw that Nahash king of the Ammonites came against you, you said to me, 'No, but a king shall reign over us,' when the LORD your God was your king.

Every believer first has God as king, before any other authority. We obey and cooperate with other authority because of God's authority.

1Peter 2:13 - 16
Therefore submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord's sake, whether to the king as supreme,
 or to governors, as to those who are sent by him for the punishment of evildoers and for the praise of those who do good.
 For this is the will of God, that by doing good you may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men--
 as free, yet not using your liberty as a cloak for vice, but as servants of God.

It is therefore needful to pray for all authority from the lowest direct to us to the highest. And also for those who would come after them.

1Timothy 2:1-3
 Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men,
 for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence.
 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior,

We therefore need to make time week after week to interceed for our leaders, that the right ones get to power and that those in power would obey God.

We must also do what is expected of us.

May it be well with our nation.

May our leaders honour God.

May the righteous occupy the thrones.

May God's will be done in our nation.

It is well with us.

Do have an awesome day.

Believe you have prayed!

Love

DO YOU STILL SEE?

-
Habakkuk 2:3 For the vision is yet for an appointed time; but at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; Because it will surely come, it will not tarry. It may have been easy when we first believed, to visualize the promises. We reach out with zeal, loving God, seeking to do exploits. That was when we first believed, just as Jesus said: John 3:3 Jesus answered and said to him, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God." When we become born again we see God's kingdom, our spirit man is reborn and we count the flesh as nothing. Then time passes by, we are in the world, all its distractions, temptations, responsibilities, challenges and so on begin to reveal themselves. The question then is: * Can we still see heaven? John 3:3 * Are we still zealous? John 2:17 * Are we continuing in those things? Acts 2:42 * Are we walking in love? 1John 4:7 or Has the cares and worries of life and service ta

DO UNTO OTHERS . . .

-
Matthew 7:12 "Therefore, whatever you want men to do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets. It is hypocritical of us to expect people to stand with us when we are experiencing challenges yet when we see others face their own challenges, we begin to imagine what they must have done wrong or maybe they annoyed God or did one evil or the other instead of reaching out to help as we would desire others to do for us. The same thing goes for prosperity, when the Lord opens a door for us and we have abundance of wealth or a breakthrough we expect others to rejoice with us, more so, some would even find it hard to give to others. What is our reaction when someone else gets this breakthrough, do we get suddenly suspicious without reason. Do we expect the person to reach out to us? It is better to stay on the side of encouragement than to sit as a judge or prosecutor. Jesus said, Matthew 7:2 "For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the same

MY YEAR OF FULFILMENT

-
Psalms 57:2 I cry out to God Most High, to God who will fulfill his purpose for me. We just finished the book of 1Samuel, in this book we see the cry of Israel for a king and how God raised Saul to rule them. We also saw how Saul disobeyed God and lost kingship for himself and his generation. He did not stop there, he went on to seek for the death of David, whom he saw as the next heir of the throne. In chapter 31, the last chapter, we see how Saul and all his sons and men were killed, it was tragic, however it was as a sign of relief for David. We could go on counting all the struggles and difficulties we faced in the past year. No, we should not, we should begin to look at all the positives, remembering all the good things God has done for us. If He promised it, He will do it and that is what we hold onto as we go through this year. Hebrews 10:23 Let us hold tightly without wavering to the hope we affirm, for God can be trusted to keep his promise. This is the year of fulfilment, and
