Well we've prayed, informed and at the end of the day, I believe God has chosen His set man for 'such a time as this'.
God is Sovereign!
This is what I encourage myself with. As a believer and follower of Christ, it is my responsibility to respect, honor and pray for who God has put into place. I am also accountable to God to pray for the leader of my country and perhaps, for a time, who will be the most influential leader in the world...Barack Obama.
At the same time, I am obligated to "cry aloud and spare not" should Obama or anyone else, especially leaders, seek to put ungodly and abominable laws, into place, that will bring detriment to us and cause the wrath of God to increase within our borders.
I also believe that we should be very careful how we speak about Obama. Anyone who's read this blog will have noticed that while I openly exposed and brought to your attention unholy alliances and promises made by our president elect, I refrained from judging his character. Only God knows the heart of our future president. I've always cringed when I heard people speak so rudely and with denigrating disrespect of our current president, George Bush. We are not going to be able to bless our president and curse him at the same time. If we agree with what he does, let's praise him for it. However, should he do wrong, let us tell him the truth in love, remain uncompromising in our Christian convictions, not succumbing to worldly seduction, while still speaking as Christ would have us to.
Let us keep President Elect Obama and his family covered in our prayers for God to protect and shield them from all of the enemies foul plans. We must earnestly pray for the Lord to strengthen, anoint, encourage, protect, keep and use Mr. Obama mightily for His glory.
I believe God has seen something in Barack Obama that many of us have missed. Let us trust God to influence His heart and radically change his mind about many of the issues that we know are grievous to the Father's heart. I pray that Barack Obama come into a wonderful vibrant relationship with Jesus Christ and personally come to know Him as Lord and Master.
"The king's heart is in the hand of the LORD, as the rivers of water: he turneth it whithersoever he will." Prov 21:1
So, child of God, our job is to speak blessing, trust God and pray without ceasing!
Be at Peace, God has everything under control!
