Revelation of the Word:

THEME: RIGHTEOUSNESS AND JUSTICE

Proverbs 16:12-18 NKJV

“It is an abomination for kings to commit wickedness, For a throne is established by righteousness. Righteous lips are the delight of kings, And they love him who speaks what is right. As messengers of death is the king’s wrath, But a wise man will appease it. In the light of the king’s face is life, And his favor is like a cloud of the latter rain. How much better to get wisdom than gold! And to get understanding is to be chosen rather than silver. The highway of the upright is to depart from evil; He who keeps his way preserves his soul. Pride goes before destruction, And a haughty spirit before a fall.”

INSIGHT

-King Solomon admitted that it was possible for kings to commit wickedness. He was committed to God during his reign initially but after marrying so many wives and had numerous concubines, they dissuaded his commitment to God and drew him to other gods (1 Kings 11:4). The righteous life of a king invites God’s blessing upon his life and reign. Because of this great potential and influence, it is an even greater sin for kings to commit wickedness. Proverbs 14:34 reminds us that, “Righteousness exalts a nation, But sin is a reproach to any people.” Let us repent on behalf of our president and nation, that our Lord may forgive us and restore us as a people.

PRAYER

Abba Father, our great and mighty King, We bow down before Your presence this day in total adoration. We thank You for all You have done in our lives and in our nation of Kenya oh Lord. We thank You for our leaders and all the people of the land of Kenya. We exalt You and magnify You for You have been so faithful to us. Father, may You receive all glory, honor, and praise for Your great and mighty deeds. Father we come before You in total repentance, praying that You may forgive our sins, sins of our president, sins of our leaders, and sins of our nation. May You forgive us all oh Lord for the wickedness we have done. Father may You heal our land and restore our nation. May You cleanse our land, our people and our leaders by Your precious blood. May You enforce Your righteousness over our land and leadership and grant us Your peace and mercies oh Lord. We pray that You shall be the one to reign and be exalted above all in Kenya and all idols and all the other gods will fade away and all will bow to You our King of kings. Dear Father we pray for righteousness, wisdom and understanding shall be upon our leaders. We thank You for You have heard us and will do so according to You good and perfect will. We pray this believing and trusting in Jesus Christ Holy and Mighty Name, Amen.

Blessed Week
