Can A God Fearing Leader Solve Our Problems? When 'll Hardship & Suffering End ? by Restroom: 10:59am On Nov 30, 2018
The simple answer to the first question is no.

In answer to the second question, many people might say ‘someday when a God fearing leader assumes the presidency or the throne’.

But remember, all over the earth humans are buffeted by countless events or occurrences that bring untold hardship and suffering for millions.
So, if we keep hoping for a God fearing person to assume presidency in Nigeria for example, what about places like Cameroon, Niger, Congo Democratic Republic just to mention a few African countries consumed by problems?

If the time already gone waiting for God fearing persons to rule their subjects , has not led to improve living conditions for people, when will that God fearing persons come? What is preventing them from coming? Do present leaders in each countries not go to churches and mosques to worship?

This is the irony and folly of human reasoning about human government or ruler ship.

People keep saying when a ‘God fearing person rules, everything will be okay’.

They want a God fearing person to rule
But they do not want God himself to rule.

So it becomes ‘God fearing person’, God is attached because they know, the person fear of God might make him act godly as a leader.

But the question we should ask is this:
Can a human rule over his fellow human and successfully solve his own problems?
Did God create Adam to rule over himself or to be independent of God?
Does man have the ability or capacity to rule himself effectively?

The answer to these questions can be found in a simple truth revealed by Jeremiah the Prophet of the true God.

Jeremiah 23:10 plainly states:

I well know, O Jehovah, that man’s way does not belong to him. It does not belong to man who is walking even to direct his step.

Simply put man does not have ability or capacity to rule himself.

Don’t forget,

It was man, Adam that got us all into the present mess mankind has found himself. Sin and disobedience led to their been rejected by God.

So how can man be able to solve the same problem he created way back in the garden of Eden some 6000 years ago? Is 6000 years not a long time for a God fearing person to have come and solve the problems created by Adam the Devil? Can a man solve the problems of the whole world?

Humans were created by God, hence it is only God our heavenly father, that can get us out of the hardship and suffering we are experiencing today, whether in the forms of :
Economic hardship and poverty
Suffering caused by the death or sickness of a loved one
Hardship caused by terrorism and crime
Suffering caused by natural disasters and wars and so many others etc.

The sad truth is that human rulers and the subjects creates more problems than solution for themselves. That is why problems keep multiplying everywehere.

Man is powerless to permanently solve these problems, whether God fearing or not. What we do best is manage or cope with the situation. No human can eradicate them for good.

As epitomized by Jeremiah statement in the above Bible verse, we humans cannot direct our steps, how then can we direct the steps of others for their own betterment?

That is the reason why in his model prayer, Jesus encouraged his disciples to pray this prayer recorded in Matthew 6: 9, which states:

Let your Kingdom come. Let your will take place, as in heaven, also on earth.

Only when God’s kingdom comes to this earth, that is when God’s will, will take place on the earth.
Jesus was in essence saying that we should keep praying for the kingdom to come on time, without this Kingdom intervention in the affairs of this world, evil deeds and wickedness of men will continue to increase.

Immediately God Kingdom comes, evil and wicked men who are the main causes of wars, crime, economic hardship and other man made problems will be destroyed from the earth. Only the righteous will be saved or preserved alive.
(Daniel 2:44) reads:

“In the days of those kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be destroyed. And this kingdom will not be passed on to any other people. It will crush and put an end to all these kingdoms, and it alone will stand forever,

Psalms 37: 19-11 also states this about the wicked:
(Psalm 37:9-11) For evil men will be done away with, But those hoping in Jehovah will possess the earth. Just a little while longer, and the wicked will be no more; You will look at where they were, And they will not be there. But the meek will possess the earth, And they will find exquisite delight in the abundance of peace.

With the removal of all the wicked from the earth by Gods kingdom, the stage will then be set for the righteous survivals to fill the earth with righteousness and also to make it into a global paradise under the directions of God’s kingdom.

In Matthew 5:5, the Bible states:

(Matthew 5:5) “Happy are the mild-tempered, since they will inherit the earth

God will not forever allow the earth as it is now, to be filled with evil and righteous people at the same time. No!
Evil men and righteous men will not forever coexist and cohabit this earth.

The time for all the evil doers of this earth who are content with human rule, so that they can continue to flourish in evil deeds and fill the earth with badness to be cut off like green grass from this earth is imminent at Armageddon, which is Gods jugdemnt upon the wicked of this earth.

Psalms 92:7 states
(Psalms 92:7) When the wicked sprout like weeds And all the wrongdoers flourish, It is that they may be annihilated forever.

The hope of the wicked is destruction at the hands of God.

After they have been cleared out from the earth, God purpose for the earth will then be realized.

That is when hardship and suffering will end, because God ruler ship of the whole earth has started and humans are no longer allowed to defragment the earth and rule over their territories.

If you doubt this, look at what is recorded in Rev. 21: 3,4

(Revelation 21:3, 4) With that I heard a loud voice from the throne say: “Look! The tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his people. And God himself will be with them. And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.”

So only when God’s kingdom starts to rule over the whole earth filled with righteous humans, will hardship and suffering be a thing of the past.

God promise that mourning and outcries will pass away must surely take place. Not even natural disasters and acts of nature will causes hardship or suffering to righteous people living on the earth, because, Jehovah God will control the natural elements then, just as Jesus Christ was able to control the raging storm as recorded in the Bible.

So while many people keep waiting for a God fearing person to come and rule over them, in the hopes of better life, those who are truly righteous keep praying for God’s kingdoms to come, because they know it is the only solution to all the problems in the world today.

With the way things are now, getting from bad to worse, Only Jehovah God can save us and renovate the entire earth system to a peaceful new world free of sin, hardship or suffering.

4 years come, 4 years go, of human rule cannot bring peace and remove sickness, death or crime from this earth, irrespective of the country you live.

Only God’s kingdom can. So we all need to pray every day for this kingdom to come quick!
