Praying for the leaders of your country is the only effective mechanism that can bring about a government that will be responsive and genuinely cater for the yearnings of the overwhelming majority. There is no amount of political or social agitation that can reverse the dismal state of the economy of any nation except the prayers of God’s people.
The socio-political or economic progress of your nation is not dependent on politicians and those in government; it is solely dependent on your words and the fervency of your prayers for those at the hem of affairs in your country! Even if they are not born again, you’re obliged to pray for them. You may have issues with their leadership style; you may not share same political ideologies with them, yet you still have the responsibility of interceding for them as a Christian.
Learn to bless your country; refrain from speaking in negative terms against your country. Change the situation through prayers and a good confession. Proverbs 11:11 exhorts: “by the blessing of the upright the city is exalted: but it is overthrown by the mouth of the wicked.” Never gang up with unbelievers to speak negatively about your country. Exalt your nation by speaking words of blessing. Your contribution to nation building is your divine responsibility and it calls for your unreserved patriotic spirit!
