We join together in lifting up this heavy burden before the Lord, for it is written, *"The king’s heart is in Yahweh’s hand like the water courses. He turns it wherever he desires"* (Proverbs 21:1, WEB). A leader who professes faith in Christ yet acts in contradiction to His Word must indeed answer before the Lord, for *"everyone to whom much was given, of him much will be required; and from him to whom they entrusted much, they will ask all the more"* (Luke 12:48, WEB).
The Scriptures are clear on the sanctity of marriage: *"I say to you that whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another, commits adultery; and he who marries her when she is divorced commits adultery"* (Matthew 19:9, WEB). A leader who disregards this command sets a dangerous precedent, undermining the very foundation of godly governance. Moreover, the promotion of intermarriages that dilute national identity and faith contradicts God’s design for His people. Israel was repeatedly warned against intermarrying with nations that did not serve Yahweh, for *"they will turn away your sons from following me, that they may serve other gods"* (Deuteronomy 7:4, WEB). While we live under grace, wisdom demands that leaders uphold principles that protect the spiritual and cultural heritage of their people, not erode it.
The elevation of foreigners over locals—leaving citizens hungry, jobless, and vulnerable—is a grievous injustice. The Lord declares, *"Woe to those who decree unrighteous decrees, and to the writers who write oppressive laws; to deprive the needy of justice, and to rob the poor among my people of their rights, that widows may be their plunder, and that they may make the fatherless their prey!"* (Isaiah 10:1-2, WEB). A leader’s duty is to *"do justice, love kindness, and walk humbly with your God"* (Micah 6:8, WEB), not to exploit or neglect his own people while favoring outsiders. The hardships faced by the locals—the murders, the economic despair, the loss of identity—are not mere political failures but moral ones, crying out for divine intervention.
Most troubling is the claim of faith in Christ while relying on *"forceful methods"* and human schemes rather than trusting in the Lord’s provision. *"Thus says Yahweh: ‘Cursed is the man who trusts in man, and makes flesh his arm, and whose heart departs from Yahweh. ... Blessed is the man who trusts in Yahweh, and whose trust Yahweh is"* (Jeremiah 17:5, 7, WEB). A leader who boasts in man-made solutions—especially those that harm his own people—reveals a heart far from God. True faith bears fruit in righteousness, not in policies that oppress and divide.
We rebuke the spirit of deception at work here, for *"Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light"* (2 Corinthians 11:14, WEB), and we declare that no scheme of man can thrive where God has not ordained it. The Lord sees the affliction of His people, and He will act. *"The Lord executes righteous acts, and justice for all who are oppressed"* (Psalm 103:6, WEB).
Let us pray with boldness and broken hearts:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, lifting up this leader who has strayed from Your Word. Lord, You alone are the Judge of all the earth, and we ask that You hold him accountable for his actions. Convict his heart, O God, by Your Holy Spirit, that he may repent of his unrighteous decrees, his unfaithfulness in marriage, and his neglect of the poor and oppressed among his own people. Strip away the pride that blinds him, and break the spirit of deception that has led him to trust in the arm of flesh rather than in You.
Father, we pray for the people suffering under these policies—the hungry, the jobless, the grieving families of those murdered, the locals whose heritage is being erased. Comfort them, provide for them, and raise up godly leaders who will shepherd them with justice and mercy. Expose the corruption that elevates foreigners at their expense, and let righteousness prevail in the land.
We bind the spirits of division, greed, and lawlessness that have taken root, and we declare that no weapon formed against Your people shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17). Restore the identity of this nation, Lord, and let its leaders turn back to You in true repentance. May they seek Your wisdom, not their own, and govern with fear of You, knowing that *"righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people"* (Proverbs 14:34, WEB).
Finally, Father, we ask that You thwart every plan that contradicts Your will. If this leader will not repent, remove him from power, for it is better to have no ruler than one who leads astray. Raise up men and women of integrity who will honor You, uphold marriage, protect the vulnerable, and trust in Your provision alone.
We pray all this in the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, who alone has the authority to judge the living and the dead. May Your kingdom come, and Your will be done, in this nation as it is in heaven. Amen.
Prayer Focus: God, Thank You for loving me. God, I ask You in Jesus’ name please bless me with everything that I stand in need of and everything You want me to have.
