Elections
I urge you, first of all, to pray for all people. Ask God to help them; intercede on their behalf, and give thanks for them. 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).
Brethren, during and even after these elections, let us be the light of this nation in the way we conduct, participate in, and accept the electoral process in a manner that reflects the character of Jesus Christ, we should uphold peace, love, unity, justice, respect, and human dignity at all times according to Romans 12:18. Peaceful elections begin in the hearts of individuals before they become visible in society.
Always remember that an election should never become a reason for a nation to destroy itself. Political leadership may change, political parties may disagree, and citizens may have different opinions, but the love of God, the value of human life and the peace of a nation must remain important. We must pray for the spiritual, moral, social and national conditions that allow our country to experience lasting peace.
Brethren, it’s our responsibility to pray for honest leadership, fairness, accountability, and integrity in the electoral process. Remember what God reminds us in the book of Jeremiah 29:7. Also, seek the peace and prosperity of the city to which I have carried you into exile. Pray to the LORD for it, because if it prospers, you too will prosper.”
God expects Christians to:
- Pray for their nation.
- Promote peace and reconciliation.
- Respect other people’s political choices.
- Reject violence and hatred.
- Speak truthfully.
- Encourage justice and righteousness.
- Pray for leaders, regardless of political affiliation.
- Remember that their ultimate allegiance is to God.
