Then the Lord raised up judges who delivered them from the hands of those who plundered them
Judges 2:16
A leader is like a light on top of a dark hill that shines for all to see the right path to take. God makes leaders and appoints them to deliver his children out of turmoil.
God has put special leadership traits and qualities in certain people. This gives them the ability to be charismatic and influential. They also have the ability to give their people strength and hope for the future. God does this so that we know that he has not neglected us and that he always wants the best for us.
Our country is our home. It is no accident that you were born where you were born. God has a reason for everything and he had ordained you even when you were in your mother’s womb to fulfill your potential.
Even though God chooses our leaders, some of them become corruptible and forget the reasons why they were chosen in the first place.
God does not inspire and bless leaders so that they can enrich themselves. He chooses them to make life better for his people who pray to him every day. Bad leaders bring war, famine, hunger, and strife. Good leaders bring prosperity, blessings, comfort, and protection
As Christians, we should not neglect to remember our leaders in prayer. We must ask God to always guide and direct them to make the best decisions for their people.
Do not forget that leaders are human as well and have their own weaknesses. The difference between a leader and someone who isn’t is that a leader’s actions or inactions can affect an entire nation of people.
David was a good leader for Israel and he led them to many victories. Saul was not a good leader and God punished him for it because he led his people astray.
When a leader is corrupted, it is the people who suffer. This is why we must constantly intercede for them so that they do not impose laws that will cause us to lose God’s favor on us. Leaders need strength and wisdom to be able to govern God’s people to his satisfaction.

Leaders are representatives of God and man in this country. They have a mandate to make sure that God’s people do not suffer poverty and strife.
When God chooses a leader for his people he chooses one with dignity and integrity. God will never choose someone who will bring his people pain.
We must continue to pray that our leaders are not corrupted by the devil and that God always sustains and renews them so they never forget why they are leaders.
Therefore, come now, and I will send you to Pharaoh, so that you may bring My people, the sons of Israel, out of Egypt.”
Exodus 3:10
