Government & Politics

When the righteous are in authority the people rejoice;
when the wicked rule the people groan.
Proverbs 29:2
An important assignment on the Mountain of Government & Politics, becomes to discover what it is that makes the people “groan” and to turn it into something that makes them “rejoice”. When a nation’s government is riddled with scandals and thievery and obviously exists for the benefit of those in power, rather than for the ones it serves, the effect on that nation is fear, apathy, and hopelessness because the people see no possibility for prosperity, growth and change.
When government functions the way it is supposed to, love is displayed as POWER – the power to prosper in every way. God created us with the ability to produce or create and get wealth. Deuteronomy 8:18 – Government must exist to create the enabling environment within which its people can thrive. When it does, it conditions the hearts of the people it serves, to believe that God the King, is indeed good.
