God Gives Us Godly Political Leaders For Our Peace And Prosperity, But It Is In The Power Of Our Votes To Crown Them
The books of Kings and the Chronicles teach us that those who rule us exert enormous influence over the spiritual and moral climate of our nations irrespective of the presence of prophets and priests.
The Devil celebrates when we remain in our prayer closet, thinking that’s all the contribution we are to make for our nations, but he fears an awakened and politically engaged church. He knows as long as he controls the corridors of power, he can always outsmart us to achieve his agenda unhindered. The notion that Christians should stay out of politics is straight from the pit of hell.
The Lord told Elijah to anoint Elisha to be Prophet in his place, Hazael to be king of Syria and Jehu king of Israel. Why? What escapes the sword of Hazael shall Jehu slay, and whoever escapes the sword of Jehu shall Elisha slay. Did you get that? 1 Kings 19:15-17.
We can't exert the influence of the King of Kings' without the collaboration between the prophetic and kingly anointing. We need people in Government who fear God. It is outright stupidity and an act of shooting ourselves in the foot to participate in any way to bring to power people who openly mock God by their policies.
In today's world, we can’t anoint individuals and declare them governors, Mayors, Senators and Presidents, but in a Democratic nation with a fair playing field, we can use the power of our votes. This is a neglected aspect of the gospel of the kingdom, but we are recovering it.
When the Children of Israel cried to God for deliverance, He gave them Judges( Book of Judges) as their deliverers. In our democratic setup, God still raises deliverers, but it is up to us to use our votes to get them into office. Let's wake up!
