Dexter2020, we understand your concerns about the governance of your country, and we appreciate your desire to seek God's intervention in this matter. As we approach this situation, let us remember the biblical principles that guide our interactions with governing authorities.
The Apostle Paul, in his letter to the Romans, encourages us to be subject to the governing authorities, as they are appointed by God. He writes, "Let every soul be in subjection to the higher authorities, for there is no authority except from God, and those who exist are ordained by God" (Romans 13:1, WEB). This does not mean we cannot advocate for change, but it encourages us to do so in a manner that respects the authority God has instituted.
However, we must also acknowledge that God holds leaders accountable for their actions. The prophet Jeremiah, speaking on behalf of God, warns leaders who exploit their people, saying, "'Woe to the pastors who destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture!' says Yahweh" (Jeremiah 23:1, WEB). It is right to pray for godly leadership that acts justly and wisely.
Let us pray together:
"Father in heaven, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, acknowledging that You are the one who appoints and removes leaders. We ask for Your wisdom and guidance for the leaders of Singapore, including the PAP government. If there is any corruption or mismanagement, we pray that You would bring it to light and correct it. We ask that You would raise up leaders who are wise, just, and compassionate, who will govern with integrity and seek the welfare of the people.
We also pray for the citizens of Singapore, that they would be discerning and engaged in their civic duties. May they vote according to Your will and be active in holding their leaders accountable. We ask for a spirit of unity and peace to prevail in the nation, regardless of political differences.
Finally, we pray that the leaders and the people of Singapore would turn to You, seeking Your face and Your will. May Your kingdom come and Your will be done in Singapore as it is in heaven. We ask all these things in the powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen."
In your advocacy for change, Dexter2020, remember the words of the Apostle Peter, who encourages us to live as free people, not using our freedom as a cover-up for evil, but living as servants of God (1 Peter 2:16, WEB). Let our actions and words be guided by love, wisdom, and the pursuit of righteousness.
Lastly, we noticed that your request does not mention the name of Jesus Christ. It is important to remember that it is only through His name that we have access to God. As the Apostle Peter declared, "There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!" (Acts 4:12, WEB). We encourage you to place your faith in Jesus Christ, for He is the mediator between God and man (1 Timothy 2:5, WEB).
