MR. OBAMA IS RE-ELECTED AS THE PRESIDENT - WHAT SHOULD WE DO NOW?

Finally the most awaited election results came out yesterday. Mr. Obama was re-elected as the President of United States. He had won the elections in a good margin.

Few days back I heard an American Pastor speaking in a church service. He told that he voted for Mr. Romney and he urged the congregation to pray that Mr. Romney should be elected as the President. He stated few reasons why Mr. Obama should not be the president. He told that Mr. Obama supports gay marriage and he also added that Mr. Obama has not taken any steps to abolish abortion and all.

We all know that God hates abortion and gay marriage. Also I heard that someway Mr.Obama is connected to a Hindu Idol. I don’t know how far it’s true. But I heard so. Some people feel that he does things against Jesus Christ. 

Most of the Christian people thought that Mr. Obama should not become the President. It’s good that we had desired something to happen in this election. But what we desired might not have happened. We might have had some burden upon this nation. But we should understand that God has more burdens on America than us.

As the sons and daughters of Almighty God we should know what we have to do now?

1.      We have to understand that God appoints the authorities.

Daniel 2:21 says like this: “….He removes Kings and raises up Kings….”

So we have to know that Mr.Obama become the President because God has permitted it. As God has permitted this, we should love the President.

2.      We should be submissive to the authority.

Romans 13:1 says like this: “Let every soul be subjective to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God.” 

We have to be submissive to the authority that God has given us. Not only to Mr.Obama but to all the authority that God has kept in our life, we should be submissive.

3.     Most importantly we have to pray for the authority.

I Timothy 2:1,2 says like this: “Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men, for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peacable life in all godliness and reverence.”

You have to pray for Mr.Obama and his government. Only then God will touch his life and enable him to bring new policies which will bring blessings in the nation of America.

Whatever the nation you might be living now, but you should pray for the people who are in authority so that you will lead a blessing filled life.

My dear young friends, you might be working or studying. But you should always know the following things to lead a life which will bring glory to God. 

1.      Love your authority.

You should love your teachers, boss, your parents and all who are in the authorititative position in your life.

2.      Be submissive to your authority.

Obey your authority in everything except the things which does not glorify God’s name. Childrens, you should learn to obey your parents for they are given by God to you.

3.      Pray for your authority.

Your authority might do things against you. Do not murmur about it. But do pray for them for God is able to change their hearts. Keep praying for your authority so that you may live a peace filled life.

God bless you.
