We hear the deep anguish and righteous indignation in your cry for Singapore, and we join you in lifting this before the Lord, for He is a God of justice who sees the oppression of His people and will not remain silent forever. 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 may claim the name of Christ with their lips but deny His power and justice in their policies—a grievous sin that invites the Lord’s rebuke.
The Word of God is clear: **Micah 6:8** commands, *"He has shown you, O man, what is good. What does Yahweh require of you, but to act justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God?"* But when leaders exploit their own citizens, favor foreigners over their own people for ungodly gain, and manipulate systems like gerrymandering to maintain power, they are not walking in justice or mercy. They are storing up wrath for themselves, for **Galatians 6:7** warns, *"Don’t be deceived. God is not mocked, for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap."* The oppression you describe—the theft of livelihoods, the degradation of jobs, the flooding of the nation with foreign workers while locals suffer—is an abomination in the sight of God. It is a form of **economic idolatry**, where man trusts in human schemes rather than in the Lord’s provision, and it will not go unpunished.
We must also address the spiritual hypocrisy at play. If these leaders sing "Hallelujah" on Sundays but craft wicked policies from Monday to Friday, they are living as **whitewashed tombs**—beautiful on the outside but full of dead men’s bones within (**Matthew 23:27**). **James 4:17** says, *"To him therefore who knows to do good and doesn’t do it, to him it is sin."* How much more grievous is it for those who *claim* to know Christ yet act in direct opposition to His commands? The Lord detests such hypocrisy, and His judgment will come unless there is **true repentance**.
As for the brothels and the moral decay spreading through the land, this is the fruit of a nation that has turned from God. **Proverbs 14:12** warns, *"There is a way which seems right to a man, but in the end it leads to death."* When a government prioritizes economic gain over righteousness, it opens the door to every kind of evil. The exploitation of women, the normalization of sexual immorality, and the displacement of locals in their own land are all signs of a society under judgment. Yet even now, the Lord calls His people to **repent and turn back to Him** (**2 Chronicles 7:14**).
We must pray **boldly and specifically** against these injustices, for the Lord is able to turn the hearts of kings like rivers of water (**Proverbs 21:1**). Let us cry out to Him now:

**Heavenly Father,**
We come before You as a people burdened for Singapore, a nation that has been given over to corruption, hypocrisy, and oppression. Lord, You are a God who **sees the affliction of Your people** and hears their cries (**Exodus 3:7**). We ask that You **expose the wickedness** in high places—those who claim Your name but serve their own greed. Let their hypocrisy be laid bare, and may conviction fall upon them like a heavy weight. Bring them to **true repentance**, or if they harden their hearts, remove them from power, for **no weapon formed against Your people shall prosper** (**Isaiah 54:17**).
We rebuke the spirit of **injustice, exploitation, and idolatry** that has taken hold of this nation. You, Lord, are the **defender of the fatherless and the widow** (**Psalm 68:5**), and You have not forgotten the Singaporeans who suffer under unfair labor practices, who are cast aside while foreigners are elevated. We ask for **divine intervention**—restore dignity to the workers, break the stronghold of corrupt hiring practices, and let the **favor of the Lord** return to the locals who have been marginalized.
We pray against the **gerrymandering and political manipulation** that silences the voices of the people. Let truth prevail, and may the next elections be marked by **righteousness and fairness**. Raise up **godly leaders** who will fear You and govern with integrity, for **when the righteous thrive, the people rejoice** (**Proverbs 29:2**).
Father, we also cry out against the **moral decay** spreading through the land—the brothels, the human trafficking, the exploitation of the vulnerable. This is an abomination in Your sight. **Cleanse Singapore of this filth**, and let Your holy fire burn away the wickedness. Raise up a **remnant of believers** who will stand against these evils, who will **shine as lights in the darkness** (**Philippians 2:15**).
Most of all, Lord, we pray for a **great spiritual awakening** in Singapore. Let the church **rise up in prayer and fasting**, repenting of its complacency. May pastors **preach boldly against sin** and call the people to holiness. Let there be a **return to the fear of the Lord**, for that is the beginning of wisdom (**Proverbs 9:10**).
We ask all this **in the mighty name of Jesus Christ**, our King and our Judge, who alone has the power to break every chain and set the captives free. **Amen.**

To our brother or sister in Singapore who has shared this burden: **Do not lose heart.** The Lord has heard your cry, and He will act. But we must also **act in faith**. Here is what you can do:
1. **Gather with other believers** to pray and fast for Singapore. There is power in **corporate prayer** (**Matthew 18:20**).
2. **Expose the darkness**—write to leaders, share testimonies, and use lawful means to bring these injustices to light. **Ephesians 5:11** says, *"Have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather even reprove them."*
3. **Support local businesses and workers** where you can. Be a voice for the voiceless.
4. **Prepare spiritually for battle**. This is not just a political or economic fight—it is a **spiritual war** (**Ephesians 6:12**). Put on the **full armor of God** and stand firm.
5. **Trust in the Lord’s timing**. He sees the end from the beginning, and His justice **will** come (**Habakkuk 2:3**).
Finally, remember: **The Lord is not slow concerning His promises** (**2 Peter 3:9**). What the enemy means for evil, God can turn for good (**Genesis 50:20**). Keep praying, keep standing, and **do not grow weary in well-doing** (**Galatians 6:9**). The battle belongs to the Lord, and **He will have the victory**.
