The bible tells in Romans 13:1-7 to pray and support the leader whom God will place to lead the country. So many years, Americans are hoping for a good leader who will restore the glory and preeminence of this country from the rest of the world. From the very example showed by the people of Israel, once the leader lives and lead the country in sin, it invites economic crisis, social injustices, inequality, drought and famine, sickness of different kinds, defeats, troubles and other issues within. But when a leader is obedient to the words of God like King David, King Solomon, and even King Saul, the country of Israel always wins in the battle and more wealth come to the national treasury - prosperity to the whole land. We know that these leaders obeyed God in parts of their years of leadership but in times of success, they all fall into sins that's why, Israel had experience issues of different kinds in the land.
What then are biblical principles that all qualified American voters need to follow to exercise their freedom of expressions, elect the right person for the leadership of America?
First, pray hard. Be truly concern to the flight and needs of the land. Bring to God in prayer the right person to lead the country for another six-year term and onward. It is not man who will bring the glory, strength and prosperity of America, it is the Almighty God.
Second, be reminded again by the words of God that a leader must have moral authority to lead the land, a person who has the regard, love and respect to the words of God. It is the bible or the words of God that should reign and guide the flow of system of the country. Morality which is found in the bible is always the foundation of every law before it will be implemented in the society. Wisdom and know how can be learned while a person is serving the country with the help of well choice people who have regard for God and for the poor.
Third, a leader must be willing to serve others with all his/her heart without expecting anything in return. A leader must be selfless, righteous in making decision, willing to listen and control his/her mind, tongue, emotions and actions.
Fourth, a leader must have a 100% love for God and people, especially the needy.
Fifth, a leader knows how to lead the country with humbleness and faith to God. He is not proud.
Lastly, a leader knows to live a blameless life, an upright life, must be a God-fearing person, and must shun all kinds of evil.
We are not looking for the perfect leader, but at least, he/she that is much closer to the following characteristics above. Pray and be wise!
