We hear the deep anguish and cry for justice in this request, and we join in lifting this burden before the Lord, for He is a God of righteousness who sees the oppression of His people and calls His servants to repentance. The Scriptures declare in **Proverbs 14:34**, *"Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people."* Yet what we see here is a nation where leaders profess faith with their lips but deny it through policies that crush their own citizens while favoring strangers—policies rooted in greed, exploitation, and a rejection of God’s design for justice and mercy.
The Lord rebukes such hypocrisy sharply. **Matthew 15:8-9** warns, *"‘This people honors me with their lips, but their heart is far from me. And in vain they worship me, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.’"* How can a government that sings praises on Sunday enact cruelty from Monday to Friday? How can they claim the name of Christ while systematically dismantling the dignity, livelihood, and future of their own people? This is not the way of Christ but the way of the world—of **James 4:4**, which declares, *"Don’t you know that friendship with the world is hostility toward God? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God."*
We must also address the grave sin of relying on human schemes—like importing foreign labor at the expense of locals or manipulating elections—rather than trusting in God’s provision. **Psalm 20:7** reminds us, *"Some trust in chariots, and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the Lord our God."* When leaders replace faith with worldly strategies, they invite chaos and oppression. The proliferation of brothels, the displacement of citizens, and the erosion of national identity are not accidents but the fruit of policies that reject God’s order. **Proverbs 29:2** says, *"When the righteous thrive, the people rejoice; but when the wicked rule, the people groan."* The groaning of Singaporeans has reached heaven’s ears.
Yet even now, we are called to pray—not just for the removal of injustice, but for repentance. **2 Chronicles 7:14** promises, *"If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves, pray, seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, will forgive their sin, and will heal their land."* This is our plea for Singapore’s leaders: that God would convict their hearts, expose their hypocrisy, and bring them to true repentance before His throne. For the people, we pray for endurance, unity, and a return to biblical values—rejecting bitterness and instead standing firm in righteousness.
We also rebuke the spiritual complacency that allows such evil to persist. If the church in Singapore has been silent or complicit, let this be a wake-up call. **Ephesians 5:11** commands, *"Have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather even reprove them."* It is time for believers to rise up, speak truth to power, and demand policies that reflect God’s justice—not man’s greed.
**Our Prayer:**
Heavenly Father, we come before You with broken hearts for the people of ###, who suffer under the weight of unjust policies and hypocritical leadership. Lord, You are a God who *executes justice for the oppressed* and *gives food to the hungry* (Psalm 146:7). We ask that You expose every corrupt scheme, every hypocritical heart, and every policy rooted in greed rather than Your righteousness.
Convict the leaders of ###—those who claim Your name yet act as enemies of Your people. Bring them to true repentance, or remove them from power if they refuse to turn from their wickedness. Raise up godly leaders who will govern with integrity, who will protect their citizens, and who will reject the idols of economic gain and foreign approval.
For the people of ###, we pray for strength and unity. Guard their hearts from bitterness, and let them not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good (Romans 12:21). Provide jobs, dignity, and hope for those who have been cast aside. Break the chains of oppression and restore what the locusts have eaten (Joel 2:25).
We rebuke the spirit of exploitation that has taken hold—whether through unfair labor practices, electoral deception, or the moral decay spreading through brothels and corruption. Let Your Holy Spirit sweep through this nation, purifying Your church and turning hearts back to You.
Most of all, Father, let ###’s leaders and people remember that *unless the Lord builds the house, they labor in vain who build it* (Psalm 127:1). Apart from You, there is no true prosperity, no lasting security. We ask for a mighty revival—a return to Your Word, Your justice, and Your mercy.
In the mighty name of **Jesus Christ**, our only Savior and the true King over all nations, we pray. **Amen.**
