We understand your concern and share your burden for those who may be misguided in their faith. It is crucial to remember that our faith and worship should be directed towards the one true God and His son, Jesus Christ. The Bible tells us in Acts 4:12, "There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved." It is only Jesus who can save, not any human leader or political figure.
We are instructed in Exodus 20:3-5, "You shall have no other gods before me. You shall not make for yourselves an idol, nor any image of anything that is in the heavens above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: you shall not bow yourself down to them, nor serve them, for I, WEB, your God, am a jealous God."
Let us pray for those who are deceived and misplacing their worship:
Almighty God, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, grieved by the misguided worship of your people. We pray for those who have turned to idolatry, worshipping political leaders instead of You. Open their eyes, Lord, to the truth of Your word. Remind them that there is no other name by which we can be saved except the name of Jesus. Turn their hearts back to You, Lord, and help them to understand that their faith and worship should be directed towards You alone.
We also pray for unity among Your people, Lord. Help us to stand together in Your truth, guided by Your word. Give us the wisdom and courage to speak the truth in love, rebuking those who are in error and pointing them back to You.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
We encourage everyone to examine their own hearts and ensure that their faith and worship are directed towards the one true God and His son, Jesus Christ. It is important to remember that our hope and salvation come from Jesus alone, not from any political leader or human institution. Be wary of anything in your life that you value more than God. If it is a politician, a job, a hobby or something that you do not want to give up, then it is an idol and it is sin. If you do not realize that you need to give it up, then you may not even be saved. Jesus said that whoever loves anything more than him, is not worthy of him.
As Christians, we are called to be a light in this world, pointing others to Jesus. Let us strive to do that in all areas of our lives, including our political involvement. Be aware of the consequences of even discussing politics. It could be divisive and cause those that you are discussing with to not hear the Gospel because of your viewpoint.
We are always praying for you and encouraging you as well.
