I am thankful Mr. Obama won...
/President Barak Obama
“I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;” 1 Timothy 2:1–3
I am thankful Mr. Barack Obama won last night.
Why am I thankful Mr. Obama won the US Presidency?
1. His victory reminds me of America's spiritual need. I see that the US demography has changed. America needs fully-supported Church Planters, and a spiritually engaged membership with a passion for souls.
2. His victory reminds me of the Christian's spiritual responsibility.
A believer is to supplicate for their fellow citizens, kings, and all in authority.
A believer is to pray for their fellow citizens, kings, and all in authority.
A believer is to intercede for their fellow citizens, kings, and all in authority.
A believer is to give thanks for their fellow citizens, kings, and all in authority.
3. His victory reminds me of the Christian's social responsibility.
I am to lead a quiet life.
I am to lead a peaceable life.
I am to live a godly life.
I am to live an honest life.
Daniel reminds us God wanted Mr. Obama to be in power at this time. “... Blessed be the name of God for ever and ever: for wisdom and might are his: And he changeth the times and the seasons: he removeth kings, and setteth up kings: he giveth wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding: He revealeth the deep and secret things: he knoweth what is in the darkness, and the light dwelleth with him.” Daniel 2:20–22
So, while today is just like yesterday, it will be nothing like tomorrow!
Even so, come Lord Jesus!
