Praying for a Free & Fair Elections in Nigeria [Proverbs 29:2]

Proverbs 29:2 When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; But when a wicked man rules, the people groan It requires only a righteous, honest and Godfearing leader for the people to rejoice. Show me a joyful and peaceful nation, and I will show you a good, honest, competent and Godfearing leader. Groaning, insecurity, kidnapping, corruption, poverty, hunger, excessive inflation, lack of basic amenities, all political unrest and vices are as a result of bad leadership and governance. The Choosing of a Leader Once upon a time, in the land of the ancient Israel, the people gathered to make Rehoboam king of Judah, after his father Solomon. On the appointed day he was to disclose his manifesto to the elders and the citizens, all Israel assembled at Shechem. And he rolled out his campaign premises according to the advice of the young men he consulted. And said, “My father made your yoke heavy; I will make it even heavier. My father scourged you with whips; I will scourge you with scorpions." (1 Kings 12:14 NIV). After hearing what he has in store for them, the people responded, “What share do we have in David, what part in Jesse’s son? To your tents, Israel! Look after your own house, David!” So the Israelites went home. (1 Kings 12:16 NIV). We have listened attentively to the three major presidential candidates of the forthcoming Nigeria presidential election on what they have to offer us. And I'm sure by now you know those in whom we, as citizens, have no share. Like Rehoboam, these ones do not have our interest at heart. Their real agenda is to use to get what they want. These are the ones, you will use your votes to send back to go and look after their own house. Let's make special demand from heaven. Ask the Lord to frustrate, disappoint and expose every hired ballot box snatcher, come Saturday elections in Jesus name. Like Rehoboam, they will not succeed. Like Pharaoh's army they will not escape the sea of shame and disgrace. In Jesus name. Amen.
