We Are Called To PRAY – Lets Pray For Good Governance Whenever – Election, Politics, Politicians, Leadership: When Elections Approaches & Governance Are Place In Our Nations!
“For the KINGDOM is the Lord’s, And He RULES over the NATIONS” Psalms 22:28.
Lets not be so cumbersome with the political election campaign and manifestos than about GOVERNANCE. It’s just as some people will burn much energy preparing for the wedding of a day rather than PREPARING for the marriage of a lifetime itself; hence many marital breakdowns today as in many political sphere in nations.
Politics is not a dirty game as such as some may presume, but it’s the people involved that can make it a dirty or healthy acts of governance just as in any other profession. When people are carried away with the crafts and acts of politician and their politics than the governance, it breeds failure in leadership and governance, and create rage with the governed.
Until LEADERSHIP are GOVERNED by the GOVERNOR himself, He who rules among the NATIONS, such will only do politics with its dirty craft and not give a healthy governance to the people. Hence many governmental nations are at war today with their policies and the governed.
Let’s pray for the ACTS OF GOVERNANCE than the politics of it, that He – Our God, who GOVERNS and RULES among the NATIONS may LEAD us and be in CHARGE over our National leaderships for us to have and enjoy, a quiet and peaceful nations.
SELAH -PAUSE AND THINK.
