Pray this way for kings and all who are in authority so that we can live peaceful and quiet lives marked by godliness and dignity.
- 1 Timothy 2:2
I remember when I told some folks to be praying for the president during his recent health challenges, some were like it's none of their business. He is rich, he doesn't need our prayers. Some even said they haven't pray for themselves enough. Some said because they don't like him, therefore they wouldn't pray for him.
But here is the thing: the decision of the king can affect you for good or bad, whether you like it or not. When we don't pray for those in authority, they could make bad choices and it will affect you negatively and you will be like God isn't answering your prayers. You don't need to like a king before you pray for him/her, the Lord can cause the King (no matter how evil he is) to favour you.
If your country of residence goes to war, it will affect you as well. We should pray for kings and those in authority: They can't get to that position without God's knowledge. Some say their President, mayor, governor, senator is wicked; instead of cursing them, pray for them. Their hearts is in God's hands.
Always Pray for the political leaders of your nation. We all need peace. Believers and non believers alike. These days, I see people always praying the typical selfish 'I, me and myself' prayer all the time.
When you pray for your king and He does well, you will surely eat the good of the land. If you don't PRAY now, you could be a PREY later.
It's a blessed Sunday. Good Morning and do have a fantastic day! 🤗
