Wow! Did we just witness the most historical presidential election of all time? I am writing this message on the day after a total upset to what most of the PC believed. Boy were they deceived! It is interesting to note that many Christians around this country were holding prayer vigilance throughout the day lifting up the presidential election for God’s blessing on the winner. Perhaps, many were disappointed in the results or perhaps they may be second guessing their power of prayer. In any event, we have a new president. Was he your chose? Maybe not but it was clearly the chose of the electoral majority which represents the will of the American people. May we now put our differences aside and pray in unison for our new leader that he will be guided by the Holy Spirit to lead according to God’s will. My message last Sunday was “Watch out for deception”. I encourage you to read 2 Thessalonians 2:1-5 especially verse 3 but be warned not to fall into a gender specific frame of mine. Were we deceived by one party to choose a PC course of action or were we led to choose change to restore our moral values? This will be an ongoing debate for many months or perhaps years to come but I believe God will ultimately prevail. If we truly prayed for the right leader then let’s embrace him and encourage him as this is our peaceful way of democracy in this country to govern. I thank God that I live in a free country. It may not seem fair but I am thankful that we are still a nation under God. In my audio message below, I spoke about how Paul was stern to warn the Thessalonians not to be deceived by false rumors from the news media of the times. That advise is still valid in today’s world. It seems the news is designed to get our attention to create ratings for the news network. Is that what we have come to in our civilized world today? I hope not. Our modern bible was constructed over 1600 years and 40 writers based on historical knowledge cross checked with verbal first account of events and put into a text structure that has proven the test of time. Other books or documents try to compete but in my opinion their is not much competition. However, our human nature tends to believe as Paul discovered on what they may hear at the moment. Paul said do not let anyone deceive you in any way. I think that is good advise in today’s world as well.
