Satan rose up against Israel and incited David to take a census of Israel. 1 Chronicles 19:1


When I read the above passage, I remembered the war in Ukraine. A president's (king) decision caused the war. 


A president's (king) decision caused the Iraqi war. The Costs of War project at Brown University revealed that 20 years of post-9/11 wars have cost the U.S. an estimated $8 trillion and have killed more than 900,000 people. (https://www.brown.edu/news/2021-09-01/costsofwar) 


Life and death decisions are made every second of the day by leaders (president, governor, councillor, chairmen, kings, chiefs, fathers, mother's, etc)


David,  was a king that God chose Himself in 1Samiel 16 but he is still a man who "got moved" by Satan to act in a way that 70,000 men of Israel fell in one night (1Chronicles 21: 14). A king that was loved, who got the support of the majority of Israelites and was prayed for (probably) made a very costly decision.


Now, how do you think a king that was disliked/cursed by his nation will behave? 


It is time for us to pray for our leaders; from the lowest level in our homes/communities to the highest level. The masses suffer for their good or bad decisions. 


Our bible chapter did not say any of David's sons died, the war in Ukraine has not killed any son of both presidents; only children of the masses.

The decision of a leader caused so many military operations in Eastern Nigeria, the civil war, June 12 saga,Endsars bloodshed, etc.


Can you still curse your leaders or you will now pray for God to grant them wisdom 24/7, bring Godly men around them and cause them to fear Him at all times.


Let's say a word of prayer for our leaders. They will be filled with heavenly wisdom in Jesus name. Amen.


Shalom!
