ü 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!
