God Bless America

I don't have any authority ( other than my calling) to comment on politics especially in the aftermath of a polarizing election. But just as an observer and one that is called to disseminate the truth and desires to know what God is doing; I keenly followed the goings-on in the political arena, especially the intrigues, biases, dialogues, and everything that went on.

My curiosity was overwhelming and though I had a bias like any other person in any given normal circumstances; I had to refrain or simply put - constrain myself from commenting on what I felt best suited the occasion, and just allow myself to hear the voice of God. America was founded on strong values, and still has some of the best ethics to date; albeit facing a strong moral erosion in recent past, "but that doesn't mean all is lost, though on the edge of moral precipice; God has an interest and a big one for that matter in this great country."

At the beginning of the electoral process that pitted several candidates against each other in the party primaries from both sides of the political divide, God spoke to me that Trump will be the next president. I hinted to several people around me about the situation. But my candidate was Hilary. "I admired her then as an astute politician-cum-diplomat that could rally the course of America at ease." And later I hear inside my heart that Trump will be the next president? No, this wasn't what I wanted to hear. If God had not spoken to me on previous elections which I predicted right, I wasn't going to buy this line.

I will try to say something here about intrigues of the time. And the interests and scope of God's modus operandi which most folks miss out big time. America as a country has done well far above any other nation on the planet. That can't be gainsaid; even the naysayers do agree that she has done well. The country has always acted in the best interest of humanity, transcending biases and helping where help was needed most without discrimination. Whether it was Israel or an Arab country or any third world country that needed help at tumultuous time; America was there.

"Many a missionary risked their lives, and immolated whatever little they had home, to cross oceans, seas, lakes, rivers, deserts, and jungles as away of reaching millions in darkness with good tidings of the Kingdom. We can't forget so quick that most of these noble men and women sacrificed a lot, some died in the jungles of africa, and others got sick while trying to better the lives of the uncivilized folks then, bringing huge light to many. It wasn't only in africa they went when flames of revival were fanned, but they traveled the world, from africa to Asia, Australia and Europe, and this in itself was self-immolation." On the government side, it's replicated more glaringly especially by myriad interventions on the international arena. Thousands of her gallant sons and daughters have died while fighting causes that America felt needed to be addressed, in most cases, where regimes brutalizing their citizens was concerned- she came to the aid of thousands that were losing hope of ever being free. That is what makes this county great.

God will not forsake the sacrifices made by America. His hand has been upon this country, even when there has been such a big threat to the nation's moral fabric. With this in mind I started understanding the heartbeat of God, more so when he wants to do something. "Certain gains can't be erased, especially if it involves the deity."

Rom 13:1 Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.
Rom 13:2 Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.
Rom 13:3 For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same:
Rom 13:4 For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil.

The above scriptures informs me what manner of execution is in place as per the will of God. "And I shouldn't mourn as one that got no hope. When God want's to do something - he - does- it - in accordance with his will, and not by convergence of thoughts as it is in the mundane. That is what changed my perception when I clearly heard from him who the next president would be. When we shove God aside (man got no power to do that) and think we can operate as a country without him being at the helm, then we are absolutely mistaken. When we want to replace what isn't in the frame work of God- we miss the point. And when we change core values as he has stated in his will, then let it be known for a fact that we are attracting his wrath, of which we should be afraid because of the catastrophic consequences when his reaction becomes palpable."

Mr. Trump was plucked from obscurity, he had no political experience, just a shrewd businessman. He never served in the military. An outsider with little political knack about what happens in Washington. He isn't entrenched in the political culture of Washington. When God wants to do something he picks the least expected folks, to shame the wise on their leanings and thoughts. When he wanted to clean the mess caused by both Ahab and Jezebel he ordered Elijah his servant who was crying to be retired by God; to head back and anoint three people. "Anoint Hezel to be King over Syria, and Jehu the son of Nimshi to be king over Israel: and anoint Elisha the son of Shaphat of Abelmeholah to be a Prophet in your place." This illustrates the divine propensity associated with God himself. He wanted to clean up the mess and he chose men that were not going to compromise; neither were pro-establishment for simple reason that his work was not going to be compromised in any way. Jezebel did try to paint herself and entice Jehu, but he will hear none of what she said.

There is too much cleaning that needs to be done, for this country to claim her high moral jurisdiction. And at the same time God is preparing the church for the great awakening. If that is to happen God has to choose a candidate that will be able to execute his will, not by design or fluke, on the contrary it's because he has made it so.

Most people bought in to the hype disseminated by the scribes, that clouded a clear portend which would have given people an inkling in to the dealings of God. And this brings frustration on the part of the people that believed everything the main stream media fed them. "Accuracy of anything can only come from him that is infallible, and it's only God - who will never go wrong. Trust-in - human beings that are immortalized by some can be devastating, especially when a lot of faith has been put in them. A great lesson to learn is this: never put your trust in anything or anyone or individuals, but in God who never disappoints.

Always find the will of God even when the tide seems to be against the conventional, and in rare cases where people have so much faith in things that seem to provide a better alternative. It is prudent to listen to that small still voice in the midst of the political din and rhetoric, what God is doing.

All will be well and the country will move on. And God's plan will be executed. God has proved pundits and scribes wrong and that is a major wake-up call. If we say God Bless America, and we mean it. Then we are asking God to intervene, and unless it is the God of Abraham and Isaac and Jacob we attribute that to and ascribe the saying to him, then that is a different story. But if it's him, he will do his will the way he deems it right, not the way we want to see it. That is why I say we need to understand the heartbeat of God: and not of the nation, people or the scribes and opinion shapers. May God bless America, and let the light of God so shine as nations of the world are impacted by what God is doing. It's a great awakening, real revival is here.
