LET’S HUMBLE OURSELVES AND PRAY WITH OUR FAMILIES

Men, we desperately need people in all areas of government who fear God. If we elect a God-fearing president we are much more likely to have the ungodly members of our Supreme Court replaced by the godly. Supreme Court judges who have little or no fear of God in their lives are the reason why homosexuals have the same marriage status as one man and one woman.

Even though we have a democratic process in the election of a new president, this does not mean that God has no say or power to promote or demote according to the earnest prayers of His people. Psalm 75:6, 7 states: “For promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south. But God is the judge: he putteth down one, and setteth up another.” It is true that in most cases a country gets the leadership it deserves. However, through the repentant prayers of God-fearing people God can, and will, intervene.

Although we know it so well, we must come back to 2 Chronicles 7:14: “If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.”

In 2 Chronicles 33 we read of the wicked reign of King Manasseh who was disciplinedand taken to Babylon. In this place he “humbled himself greatly before the God of his fathers” (2 Chronicles 33:12). God always responds to repentance and humility and he restored him back to his reign in Jerusalem. After he died, his wicked son, Amon reigned in his stead. He only reigned two years and because of his wickedness his servants slew him (2 Chronicles 33:21-25).

King Josiah reigned after Amon. Josiah was a righteous king and “he did that which was right in the sight of the Lord, and walked in the ways of David his father, and declined neither to the right hand, nor to the left.” God spoke through Huldah, the prophetess that the judgment God planned against Israel would be postponed until Josiah’s reign ended (2 Chronicles 34:25-33). Why? Because God said of Josiah: “Because thine heart was tender and thou dist humble thyself before God. . . and didst rend thy clothes, and weep before me.”

Our prayers of repentance, coupled with humility, at this time could enable us to have a wonderful God-fearing president who could influence the country just like King Josiah did. Oh how we need this to happen. We need a righteous president, not only to restore our economy, but much more importantly, to restore our morality by his godly influence.

Fathers, God has chosen us to be leaders. We must not abdicate our responsibilities to lead our families to pray for our nation at this crucial time. Under our current leadership this nation is failing in every moral and civil way at a very fast pace.

Humble, heartfelt crying out to God for mercy and restoration of all that which is right in the sight of God to restore what has been lost and devoured is what is needed most in our nation right now.

Do not wait any longer Time is running out.

Be encouraged.
