It's Time To Pray For President Obama

It was just a few months ago when Senator Obama was elected as President of the United States. Just a few days ago he was inaugurated as the 44th President of the United States of America. Now that he is President of the United States what should the Christians who didn't vote for him do? Many have said that they feared for his life. This was just one of the reason why some decided not to vote for him. Some may feel that they shouldn't support him because of their own personal reason. As a Christian there is really no option here. President Obama is now Commander and chief in America, but there is the Commander and Chief in Heaven demanding something from his children.


He says in His word," 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". Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation"."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:

"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". "Wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake"."For for this cause pay ye tribute also: for they are God's ministers, attending continually upon this very thing". "Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour". "Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law." Romans 13:1-8.


It is a mandate that all Christians support, show love and respect for the President of any country. This support, love and support should be showed toward the 44th President of the United States of America Barack Obama. He needs our prays. Besides, the God of the Universe demands this, he is in control. We must do our part. If we decide as Christians to do otherwise God says this,"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". "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".(Romans 13:3,4). God says,"but if thou do that which is evil be afraid". God is not slack concerning his promises. He will do as he says. Christians put your differences aside and obey your God.
