Of Politics and Political Solutions

I watched a play by Nanzikambe on monday 3rd in the main hall at mzuni. It was a nice play touched my heart. I had been prejudiced against these guys their acting shakespeare play in the beginning put me off kind of like I thought they lacked creativity. But watching "Accidental death of Democracy" made me see how much I have missed. their acting is superb! Much, much better than the plays I have watched before by other groups. It wasn't like movies but it touched my emotions.
Thats not the issue here. What I learned from it is. Whatever government we might try to build there will always be a Mr Red-Suit Man(what was his name? Ponyamoto?) who will be jelousy and power hungry and always try to pull down those who fight for the good of others. So whats the solution?
It is sunday today but I do not think what I am going to say has been influenced by what was preached in church. I would have written this days ago but had no time as I was trying to prepare for my end semester exams. But here is what I say:
Daniel 4:25 says :
the Most High rules in the kingdom of men, and gives it to whomever He
wishes.
Romans 13:1 says:
For there is no power but of God. The powers that exist are ordained of
God.
Matthew 6:33 says:
Seek ye first the Kingdom of God and His rightiousness and all these things
shall be added unto you.
If we ask God to give us good leaders won't He give us? There are always people saying its being lazy to find solutions from God but God is our father and like a father is always please when we ask Him for our needs.
Jesus says(Matt. 7:9-11),
What man is there among you whom if his son asks for bread, will he
give him a stone? Or if he ask for a fish, will he give him a serpent? If you,
being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more
shall your Father who is in heaven give good things to them that ask
Him?
He who gave His only Son so that whoever believes in Him shall have life(John 3:16). Will He refuse us a good leader if we ask Him? No, indeed!
