It’s time to start praying for the leadership of our nation now or it will be too late.
1 Timothy 2:1-4 is an exhortation from the Apostle Paul about what to do FIRST when we come together. We all know that it says to pray for those in leadership.
Last Sunday night my wife and I attended THE DEATH OF A NATION, produced by Dinesh D’Souza for the second time. We attended with our son, Rocklyn, and his wife and family. They were positively affected and after the movie we all stood in the corridor discussing the profound way this movie educates people regarding the history of Fascism, starting from Mussolini to Hitler to some of our own presidents in the United States.
This movie exposes the evil of Fascism, especially in one of our major political parties from the beginning of our political history.
It also interviews leaders of extreme right group and exposes them to not be extreme right after all, but rather extreme left in their views.
Once you see the movie you cannot help but wonder what we as Bible-believing Christians can do to get this nation reeducated with the truth which is being withheld in our public schools and colleges of our nation.
The media, except Fox, is also misleading this nation.
If you do not believe that true Christians should be involved in politics, I say: What do we do about 1 Timothy 2:1-4?
As we fathers gather our families together for Family Devotions each day, the first thing we should do is pray for our kings (leaders) and all that are in authority.
Let’s read it again: “I exhort therefore, that FIRST OF ALL, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks for all men;
For kings, and for ALL THAT ARE IN AUTHORITY; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.
For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior;
Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.”
Most Christians don’t know the names of hardly any of those who take major realms of authority in this nation, let alone “ALL that are in authority.” Ask young people today who is the Secretary of this or that and they don’t have a clue. And yet how can we pray for them if we don’t know who they are. Shame on us.
To help us remember we have written their names on cards and include them in our NATION CHANGING PRAYER BOX.
Can I lovingly ask you fathers this question? Are you leading your family to pray for the leaders of this nation? If not, why not?
What about your church? Do you as a congregation FIRST OF ALL pray for those who are in authority?
How long do we have left in this tumultuous world where so many cracks and factions are causing our foundations to be destroyed? Can a “quiet and peaceable life” last forever if we don’t pray?
Will we be able to live in “all godliness and honesty” if we don’t pray?
The Bible reminds us that these are our FIRST OF ALL prayers.
Be encouraged.
