The role and place of godly
leadership in any nation cannot be overstated. Every nation requires godly
leadership. Godly leadership is both always strategic and instrumental to
nation building as well as sustainable development. To start with, godly leadership
is a demonstration of the fact that the nation as well as the leadership of the
nation are aligned to God and are always willing to walk with God.
Secondly, godly leadership always
ensures equity and justice in any nation; equity and justice in the allocation
of national resources and because equity translates into justice, peace would
reign in such nations. And with peace comes development and wealth.
Nehemiah provided godly leadership
in his days as governor in Jerusalem. The Bible records that Nehemiah did not
exploit the people. He did not even touch any of the perks due him as governor.
Rather, he deployed his personal resources and wealth for some of the
activities of the state. Additionally, he reprimanded the wealthy who had been
exploiting the poor and made them return productive resources to the poor so
that the poor amongst them could access productive resources and be
productively engaged in economic activities. Access to productive resources as
well as engagement in productive activities translates into the economic
prosperity of nations and economic healing of the nations.
King Solomon was a godly leader who
led the people in national worship and appreciation of God over His leadership,
protection, provision and guidance in the nation of Israel. Apart from his
personal wealth, the Bible records that he made silver
and gold very common. This is to say that in the days of Solomon, gold and
silver were in abundance in the land – gold plates, silver plates as well as
cutlery. The nation also enjoyed peace and great national development.
Beloved, if leaders trust God, there will always be equity and justice in the land, great peace and abundance in the land because God supplies abundance as nations require the abundance. The nations may not have huge resources but God makes the provision when required.
Beloved, allow yourself to be used of God to provide godly leadership to the Church universal and the nations, keep them focused on Christ and the work of the kingdom so that there is healing in the nations. You can be rest assured that your future is guaranteed not by might nor by power but by the Spirit of God in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. Shalom.
