Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God. Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation. (Romans 13:1-2 KJV)
We have less than 48 hours to select our next president. It will be tough for us to elect which candidate should govern our land for next four to eight years. We have one candidate who wants to turn this nation around; and another who wants to keep going with our current president's agenda. Even though our nation has been greatest country of the world, beside Israel, it is also a divided nation of the world. Our nation has been divided that many people suffered and killed by their own people. There has been a lot of unborn children haven't seen the light of the world because of abortion that their parents have made. Nowadays, many children have confused with their identies.
I understand we must be followed under our government's authority. But when it constricts with God's authority, we must turn to God. He has final to say so.
For this week and on, we must pray and fast for our nation. Even though which candidate would sit on White House, we must ask God to lead him/her into right path for the nation. Right now, it's chaos with so many divisions within family, community, church, and government. We need to put God in our nation. It is not enough for us to elect next leader for our nation. Look changes that our current president has made. Everything his changes have made for this nation is becoming lawless or the day of Sodom and Gomorrah.
I don't know who do you vote for on Tuesday, but we must check with God first. He has final words to say so.
Are you saved? Are your love ones and friends saved in the grace of God through Jesus Christ? The purpose of this article is to help you to become closer relationship with Jesus Christ. As Jesus said, "Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me. In my Father's house are many rooms, if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am." (John 14:1-3.)
If you are lukewarm in your relationship with Jesus Christ and want to know Him as your personal Savior and Lord of your life, please consider asking Him to forgive your sins and invite Him into your life. Paul says, "That if you confess with your mouth, `Jesus is Lord,' and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believed and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved." (Romans 10:9-10.) If you have done in your private room or workplace, then you need to tell to your friends or love ones about what you have done, so they may rejoice with you and want to have that relationship with Christ in their own life. There are many occults in the world, which do not know the love of God and His great plan for those who believe in Him. As it is written in John 3:16, "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life."
There shall not any man be able to stand before thee all the days of thy life: as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee: I will not fail thee, nor forsake thee. Be strong and of a good courage: for unto this people shalt thou divide for an inheritance the land, which I sware unto their fathers to give them. Only be thou strong and very courageous, that thou mayest observe to do according to all the law, which Moses my servant commanded thee: turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that thou mayest prosper whithersoever thou goest. (Joshua 1:5-7 KJV)
The Book of Joshua begins with mentioning the death of Moses and God passed his leadership role to his successor, Joshua the sun of Nun (Joshua 1:1). God still wanted to take His people to Promise Land that filled with plenty food and land. He didn't want to leave them in the wilderness, even though it took them for 40 years to the land due to their disobedience. Even though Israel failed to trust on God, He didn't leave them. Instead, God appointed Joshua to lead His people to the land that flow with honey and milk. He told Joshua, "Be strong and of a good courage: for unto this people shalt thou divide for an inheritance the land, which I sware unto their fathers to give them. Only be thou strong and very courageous, that thou mayest observe to do according to all the law, which Moses my servant commanded thee: turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that thou mayest prosper whithersoever thou goest." (Joshua 1:6-7)
Even though we have embassy for each country of the world and great military leaders around the world, it doesn't means that we are free from problems. Sadly, our governmental system is continuing split up. If you have hardly agree with me, then look it up on the daily news. We are now, which I believe, number 1 to murder unborn babies through funding from Planned Parenthood. In fact, during Obama administration, we continue to see that our Christian values are becoming weaker. Instead, President Obama has kept advocating for ungodly laws, such as abortion, homosexual marriage, LGBT, transgender, and more. Our national's relationship with Israel is weaker.
We need to stand and fast for our homeland. As God told Joshua, we need to be strong and very courageous. The whole Book of Joshua is about Israel's conquest for their land. God gave Joshua very important instruction of how to own the land. We are in a war between good and evil until Jesus Christ would take everything over His control. In the meantime, we continue to fight the good fight of faith (I Timothy 6:12).

Then the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations. Then said I, Ah, Lord GOD! behold, I cannot speak: for I am a child. But the LORD said unto me, Say not, I am a child: for thou shalt go to all that I shall send thee, and whatsoever I command thee thou shalt speak. Be not afraid of their faces: for I am with thee to deliver thee, saith the LORD. (Jeremiah 1:4-8 KJV)
Look to the life of Jeremiah. God already called him to become His messenger for His people while he was in his mother’s womb. Even though you may have unborn baby, do not decide to have abortion. I know this maybe the easiest thing to do when the couple wouldn’t want baby in their lives. The Bible recorded how King Pharaoh and King Herod wanted to kill babies. However, there maybe some options to save the life of your unwanted child. God can use the child to save His people from the darkness as Moses did. Or God can use the child as Jeremiah to proclaim His messenger.
Paul said in I Timothy 4:12, “Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity.”
As we see in today’s America, we have become more like the people in Sodom and Gomorrah. We have seen many tragedies over the last decade because the American has been turning away from God. Some America churches have turning away from very its foundation and turn them into the house of selling merchandises.
We need to wake ourselves up and bring our national foundation back. Even our $1 bill has Freemason symbol on it, one of occultism. Do we think that there would not be a judgment of God in this country? Think again and research yourselves about our national history. Celebrating Christmas is the one of pagan practices which we have carried over many years; yet, some churches haven’t realized this occult holiday practice. In fact, Christmas doesn’t relate to the birth of our Savior, but it’s Christ’s Mass, which the Catholic Churches practice on sacrificing our Lord Jesus Christ shamefully.
We need to raise our youths to be appointed by God to lead our nation.
How many of you born to become a leader? A leader for the nation. A leader for the company. A leader for the Civil Rights. No matter what your ultimate life goal is, you will have experienced leadership skills. In fact, we all will become a leader of our life activities.
There shall not any man be able to stand before thee all the days of thy life: as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee: I will not fail thee, nor forsake thee. Be strong and of a good courage: for unto this people shalt thou divide for an inheritance the land, which I sware unto their fathers to give them. Only be thou strong and very courageous, that thou mayest observe to do according to all the law, which Moses my servant commanded thee: turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that thou mayest prosper whithersoever thou goest. This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success. (Joshua 1:5-8 KJV)
Now, I’d like to take you through leadership class 102. In the previous training, we went through obedience class. We must obey our leaders in order to be the second commander of chiefs. Now, here’s the second step in order to be a godly leader. We look back to the history of Joshua’s leadership.
Before Moses died, he chose his assistant to be the next leader to lead God’s people into Promise Land. Why? Joshua demonstrated his leadership role when the obstacles were challenged. Remember, he and Caleb were the only ones who chose to go to the battlefield to get the land for their people as Moses commanded. We must have courage before we’d decide to lead our nation. The Bible is not an only history book, but it is also an instruction for godly living or BIBLE (Basic Information Before Leaving Earth).
Currently, our nation is in economic crisis. Do you know why we are in $700 billion bailout situation? Even though many hurricanes destroyed our homes and supplies, our nation also borrowed so much of money from foreign country, such as China, for military purposes. Our nation is into materialism and cannot trust God to provide our nation needs. Let’s look into presidential election for a moment. Currently, McCain and Obama are trying to make false statements about their own opponents to win the election. One says he is trying to raise our taxes high to save our economic crisis and another says as totally opposite. What happened to our nation is turning our focus away from God. This was not a case in 1700s-1800s. But we are seeing many homosexuals come out from their closets, abortion and crime rates are going high, the education grading systems are lower standards, and Christian rights are taken away from the public community.
We need to pray for our nation. Mostly, we need to bring God’s name back to this country. We do not need to build more churches because we are the temples of the Holy Spirit. God commanded us don’t be discourage to lead our people. Even though this is what Satan wants us to do, we cannot step ourselves down as defeat by him. Instead, we need to obey God and have courage to lead our nation.
Beware of him, and obey his voice, provoke him not; for he will not pardon your transgressions: for my name is in him. (Exodus 23:21 KJV)
Do you like to follow the hundred pages of instructions in order to make your brand new HD television works? Probably not. We always skip pages to read the TV and other manuals. But if we don’t follow the instruction, how can we do in our career field?
Sometimes, we wouldn’t like to follow our schoolteachers, parents, lawyers, doctors, and even God’s instruction. As a result, we would fail the test. Even God gave a road map to the Promise Land, the Israelites decided to refuse God’s command and spent their lives in the wilderness for forty years.
This coming November is a critical month for the U.S. Presidential Election. We have Obama or McCain is trying to go to the White House. We should not elect either of candidate by their looks or what they would promise to do for us, but for their oaks on the Word of God. The last two presidents, Clinton and Bush, failed their oaks on the Word of God. In fact, nobody, from previous presidents, didn’t realize that we have idol (statue) in our capitol that don’t represent Christian nation. This is why we have terrorist attack, crime, natural disaster, and capitol punishment. We didn’t remove our idols, including the national idol, and decided to Christianize them.
Let’s harkened to the words of God carefully.
But now thus saith the LORD that created thee, O Jacob, and he that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine. When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee. For I am the LORD thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Saviour… (Isaiah 43:1-3a KJV)
Have you go through obstacles that were so hard to finish it? Being in leadership, it is not always easy to stand for those who you loved. I know that President-Elect Obama will have to face the new challenges as he will lead our nation within the next four to eight years, even though he may have less military skills.
Let’s look a couple of things to become a leadership. Even though you may receive the highest honorable award from your leadership position, it is not honor thing to do to king or queen yourself. I know that this is the main problem in today’s church. Pastor Joel Osteen is leading the American people into that direction. His teaching is trying to promote on peoples’ lives rather than God. There is no great thing that would compare to our Holy Father.
We all have failed to live our lives as holy. Jeremiah 1:5 tells us that God knew us before we came out from our mothers’ bellies. He brought us to the earth. There’s no reason to climb ourselves up more than God.
The main reason that we face many obstacles in our lives is because we are humans that have choice to do good things or bad. We cannot blame Adam and Eve for our choices. This is false teaching that many preachers proclaim that we have to blame our ancestors for our wrong choices.
We face many obstacles in our lifetimes because of three reasons. First, we decide to go hard way to live our lives holy. Second, Satan is trying to attempt us to sin against God. Third, God wants us to go through challenges to build our faiths in Him. So, we always cannot blame our ancestors for our life challenges. They are not responsible for our life choices.
Jesus died for our sins. This doesn’t mean that we irresponsible to pay the price. Instead, we have to obey His words and spread the Gospel to the world.
