Righteous Leaders

In a previous post (Righteousness Exalts a Nation ) I shared from God's word how righteousness and unrighteousness can affect us as individuals and as a nation. Today I wanted to just share a short word on leadership and how that connects with being righteous.


Prov. 29:2 "When the righteous increase, the people rejoice, But when a wicked man rules, people groan. "

Some people are diminishing the role of proven character in leadership and opting instead to lift up people into leadership who promise them the world. But according to God, you shouldn't choose who will lead according to what they claim they will do for you, but instead you should pray for God to raise up leaders who are righteous first and foremost. whether in the home or in the community and nation, we need righteous leaders who will stand for what is right in God's eyes both in their public and personal lives and let the chips fall where they may.

Now, if I've raised a few questions in your mind feel free to leave a comment. I will continue with this topic in subsequent posts until I feel I've said enough. Just try to make your comments short and to the point. Thanks !
