Did you know that it is in USA public schools that children/ students are not allowed to pray to Almighty God in the name of Jesus Christ before their food, before taking Exams or tests? In this country that was once great is the abomination come! Do you remember how Britain was once great? It used to be called Great Britain! We laughed when (I think Archbishop William Carey) said musingly Great Britain in 1998 in Harare, Zimbabwe for the World Council of Churches.
You can do everything else in these public schools and pray to anyone BUT not allowed to pray to Almighty God in the name of Jesus. "10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power.
11 Put on the full armour of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes.
12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.
13 Therefore put on the full armour of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand." (Ephesians 6)
People of God, we have to go back to the Upper Room and wait for the in filling of the Holy Spirit so that we may have power from the Spirit of Power, overcome confusion from the Spirit of Sound Mind, and Love from the Spirit of love, to tackle these powers and authorities operating among people and among our leaders in positions of power and authority.
People of God, strive for excellence so that we may aspire for these public offices and thus influence our communities. You are here for a purpose. You have a mission to carry out from the Most High God. We are salt to preserve this stale world. We are light to light up the darkness of this world. You cannot have light and keep it under a bushel or under the bed hiding it. you put it on a mountain, on top of a hill so that you may see around you and those around you may see their way.
"14 Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled round your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place,15 and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace.
16 In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.
17 Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
18 And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints." Ephesians 6
