The battle for the leadership of nations is one that I thought should be obvious, but the devil has succeeded in making us run beyond the finish line. We have become intelligent that all we now see are ideologies and political science.
I am not an unbeliever in knowledge and ideologies, but I think we need to be more humble to recognize that some things have happened that were beyond calculations and opinion polls. When Nigeria's 2019 general election drew close, I began to seek God's face about His will.
Now, so many people don't believe that God has a will. They believe that He isn't interested in who becomes the president and rulers of a territory. I find that very hard to swallow. The bible is full of accounts of how God was keen about who rules a land.
Some nations of today's world recognizes this and made their allegiance obvious. Some are regarded as Muslim countries while many, including Nigeria regard themselves as secular. A secular state is a state that does not have a formal allegiance to a religion, but does that stop God and the devil from being interested in them?
Consider what happened in USA in 2016. It remains one of the greatest shocks of many centuries. Nigeria has been swinging back and forth. I remember how pastors gathered in a church in Ibadan, south west Nigeria to pray against the most popular candidate of the 1993 elections because they perceived that he wasn't God's will.
The devil seeks to take the government and inflict ungodly policies so that he can take the land for himself. This battle happens in every election in every country. Elijah List shared an article recently where Dr. James Goll was explaining that a wind of political changes is taking place in many nations. Classic is Brazil.
I once shared about the Islam agenda to take over the world. Chief on that table is the taking over of government houses. If people tell you that you don't need to pray about an election, that would be very wrong. God's will is not automatic. He needs men to facilitate His works on this earth. Be wise.
