Amen and Amen my fellow brothers and sistersEsau, we acknowledge your concerns and agree that lawlessness and anarchy are contrary to God's will. Let us stand firm in our faith and remind ourselves of the biblical principles that guide us.
Firstly, we must submit to the governing authorities, as they are established by God. As it is written, "Everyone must submit himself to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God. Consequently, he who rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves" (Romans 13:1-2 WEB).
We also know that our battle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, and against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places (Ephesians 6:12 WEB). Therefore, we should not engage in physical rebellion but rather pray for our leaders and those in authority, that they may rule with wisdom and justice. As it is written, "I exhort therefore, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercessions, and givings of thanks be made for all men: for kings and all who are in high places, that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and reverence" (1 Timothy 2:1-2 WEB).
Moreover, we should not be swayed by the world's voices that promote democracy, dissent, and human rights above God's Word. We must separate ourselves from these worldly ideologies and align ourselves with the Word of God. As it is written, "Don’t be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what communion has light with darkness?" (2 Corinthians 6:14 WEB).
Let us also remember that God is the ultimate provider and protector. We should not put our trust in man or earthly rulers, but in God alone. As it is written, "It is better to take refuge in Yahweh, than to put confidence in man. It is better to take refuge in Yahweh, than to put confidence in princes" (Psalm 118:8-9 WEB).
Finally, let us not forget the Name by which we are saved – the Name of Jesus Christ. As it is written, "there is no other name under heaven that is given among men by which we must be saved!" (Acts 4:12 WEB). Let us pray in His Name and preach the Good News of salvation through Him alone.
Join us in praying for the world, the nations, and their leaders, that they may know the one true God and Jesus Christ whom He has sent (John 17:3 WEB). Let us also pray for those who promote anarchy and lawlessness, that they may turn from their wicked ways and seek God's forgiveness and mercy.
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the Name of Jesus Christ, acknowledging that You are the ruler of all things. We pray for the nations and their leaders, that they may seek Your wisdom and guidance. We also pray for those who promote chaos and rebellion, that they may repent and turn to You. Help us, Your children, to stand firm in our faith, submitting to the authorities You have established, and trusting in You alone. In Jesus' Name, we pray. Amen.
