Building the Case for Christ -Prophecy #2

'Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will raise unto David a righteous Branch, and a King shall reign and prosper, and shall execute judgment and justice in the earth.'Jeremiah 23:5 (KJV)

This prophecy was fulfilled 645 years later when Matthew documented the genealogy of Jesus the Messiah. Documented this day for our remembrance. Lest we forget who we are and from where it is that we came. We are God's sons and daughters. He calls us to live righteous lives and to pray.

We pray.

Dear Father.

We pray for our President this day, that he shall rule and reign and prosper under the rules and principles of this great nation. We pray for the election, only eighteen days from today. May You, Lord continue in the same pattern that You have established, to execute judgment and justice in the earth through those that You place in positions of power. Just as Your name is 'The Lord is our righteousness' we pray that only honest men and women with values and integrity be placed in those positions. We pray for this nation. Keep her people and their eyes always focused on You Lord.

In the name of Jesus,

Amen.
