A True Leader must care for the people.
That I have great heaviness and continual sorrow in my heart. For I could wish that
myself were accursed from Christ for my brethren,my kinsmen according to the flesh: Romans 9:2-3
Explanation
Paul must have seen something wrong with the Israelites that caused him great heaviness and
continuous sorrow in his heart for them.
This is a reflection of a genuine heart of a good leader
that cares for the people.
There are many countries around the world where the majority of the
population live in abject poverty whilst their leaders plunder the resources of the country for their
own personal gain and yet they are accorded respect by the same society. Such a society not
only lack moral values, but corruption has also eaten deep into its fabric and invariably
translates into incompetent and corrupt leaders rising into positions of authority. Gen 1:1-3
states that darkness was upon the face of the deep and God declared “let there be light” and there was light.
This therefore implies that the only way the darkness that has eaten deep into
the fabric of our society can be overturned is by the light of God (Word of God).
Therefore, as we pray, we need to constantly speak the word of God over our society, community and nation to
displace the darkness that has eaten deep into our society. And for the right environment to be
created for good leaders that have a heart for the people to rise into positions of authority in Jesus name.
Prayer
Father, as I pray, release YOUR light to displace the darkness that has taken root in our society in Jesus Name. Father, I ask that YOUR WORD will create the right environment for
good leaders with a genuine heart for the people to rise into key positions in Jesus Name.
