Tomorrow, the next president of the United States of America will be ascertained. My heart has unconsciously done uncountable skips since last night, as my head justifiably went over all the debates...over and over again, like the second hand of a wall clock. On Tuesday, God will give a man the power to rule a Nation, because He is the one who appoints kings on their thrones. On Tuesday, someone will make a triumphant entry. I wonder who it will be: the skinny black kid whose dream it has always been to find his place in a displaced and unbalanced scale and to give hope to the hopeless, or the bold and courageous veteran who risked his life on a platter of gold many times, for a country he claims to love so dearly? Only God knows...
Thousands of years ago, there was someone who made a triumphant entry. His name was Jesus, although His kingdom is the one that knows no end. It was time for the passover feast in the city of Jerusalem and at that time many hearts were focused on God, expecting Him to show up. And then He actually showed up! A prophecy was fulfilled that day which said, "Tell the daughter of Zion, behold your king is coming to you, lowly and sitting on a donkey..." (Zechariah 9:9). Some of the people knew instantly who it was, laying even their cloaks on the bare earth for the donkey to trod on...it was the One who had come to save them. Yet, some of the people asked in confusion "who is this?" To those who believed, their lives were restored.
On Tuesday night, one of the candidates would make his own triumphant entry and emerge as a king, by the people and for the people. And those who believe and hope in a better America may be restored.
God bless the United States of America...

I can't wait for tomorrow's election! OBAMA! OBAMA! lol
The power of the scriptures! Reading Zech 9:9 again
Before I forget: I have played this LifeHouse song so many times from your website. Never heard of them! I am the RelientK, Skillet, Jars of Clay, Jeremy Camp type person
I love this post..... Im sorta out of words today....
the office of the presidency is such an important one... the next president appoints the next 3 supreme court justices.... and we know how sometimes that can go... the next president will affect the way other countries see us... when America sneezes... the rest of the world catches a cold...
I believe that whether it is Obama or McCain... it is God that will place the next person on this throne and whether we like the outcome of it or not, the chosen king, will need all of our prayers
yes... God Bless America...
lovely post as always J :-)
I love that verse... sigh...
God bless America.
Father let your will be done. Lord do not let us hope in vain. Father that shift in the spirit that you told us about, let it start in the area of presidency with Obama. Go Obama, Go Obama. Lord use Obama as a Catalyst for that change we hunger for, the same which you promised us.
Meeeen if I could vote from the UK eh? I for don go voting polls since before the first day oh.
I can't wait for the results. Lord Let your will be done.
Thanks girl.. Have an awesome week
Much love
This further emphasizes how great God is- Imagine this: God knew who would be sworn in President come Jan 20 before the foundations of the earth was established.
God must be smiling right now seeing how tensed most of us are over the outcome of this election.
Come Tuesday night, most of us will know the mind of God.
Isnt it also exciting that Go would have revealed the winner to some of his chosen. Awesome!
God Bless America!
for the first time in my life i feel like voting..
God bless america and help nigeria...
OBAMA '08!!!!! yay..lol
ok that's by the way...
God allowed Jesus to make that triumphant entry and HE will do the same for election day. God will give the power to rule a nation to the man who will use it wisely and seek HIS counsel..
nice post.God Bless
OBAMA OR MCAIN? 2moro we shall know...They shuld make the day a national one for Americans
Whatever the will of God is...
"I don't know God's will for America but 'GOD, if it is the Skinny Black guy...Please annoint Your son to be wise in the decisions he makes when in office. Give him wisdom and protect him.'"
But...
If it is the Bold veteran, Lord, I say, "Not another republican..."...But You, God say to me, "Be still and Know, I am GOD."
Let God's will be done. AMEN!!!
Saul was the first king choosen for the isrealite - just as God has choosen saul, so will he choose this next president.
May his will be done.
Hello there!
Tomorrow will be the day.... the United States of America shall be known throughout the world as the United States of Obama!! (smiles)
Peace, blessings and DUNAMIS!
Lisa
im so nervous about tomorrow........
It seems as though my commenters are secretly and openly (some of you lol) supporting my Obama ("Bammy") *smiles*.
I don't know God's will either, so Lord...I'll pray the most difficult prayer that Jesus prayed in the garden of Gethsemane..."Let your will be DONE."
Kemi Penelope...your dialogue is so HI-larious!!!! LOLLLL...
Seye...we love the same circle of artistes...yay!
Life of a stranger...we're all allowed to be out of words once in a while...:) *hugs*
The way you write is one of a kind.
Howz things @ your end?
good for mccaine that its not the whole world voting. even better for us to know that all authority comes from God.
o just checked up..it's the election that's 2moro..not the results...I'm bad with these political stuffs..
Obama surely has the annoited look.
God give americans enough presence of mind to do the right thing!!
i should actually go hang out at one of the booths just to "spray tongues" all over the place!
God's will is definitely going to prevail today.
that u for the reminder
my pastor got up in church on sabbath and said there is no God candidate and every since then i have been searching to encapsulate that thought
Lord take control!!
@simeone omobaba- i feel u on that prayer o..God bless American and HELP Nigeria..lol..
Fingers crossed
God bless America!!! It's almost 3:00am in the UK, I can't sleep, I'm glued to CNN and sky news. This is one day I cannot afford to miss. Change is here, change has come.
I am eager to see the ripple effect of the outcome..
God bless America... !!! back to CNN
I'm definitely glued to CNN like never before...I'm watching updates by the second (just got back home).
Let me echo Jaja's phrase..."fingers crossed!"
ya know... or let me start singing vera's song.. winner oh oh oh, winner, winner oh oh oh winner!
Welcome change, welcome president OBAMA! Thank you Jesus!!!
BARACK OBAMA IS PRESIDENT! PRAISE GOD.. CHANGE HAS COME OH! THANK YOU BABA!
Okay I can go go bed now, chei, have to be up in 2 hours.. well it was worth it oh.. story to tell my grandchildren.. see you all in blogville later in the day for celebrations..
The Skinny American won...
BARACK OBAMA is the 44th US President...
History has truly been made...
I am still crying tears of joy because when others don't believe in you, just keep going and keep trusting God...and surely God will make a way through the storm...
For years to come preachers all over will use this man's life story in their sermons. Praise God!!!
Kemi, you are so right. Barack's story will be told time and time again, as a living testimony, even for generations to come.
My mum was shedding tears last night, all the way from Naija. Most of the international world is happy and excited at the prospects of America changing for the better...for America's future.
I'm probably going to be reflecting on this the whole day...
Doesn't "god Bless America" imply that the others shouldn't be blessed? I don't recall ever saying, "God Bless Lesotho." I recall singing "Gob Bless Africa, and its sons and daughters." But that is a song. What is this "God Bless America" thingy?
Hi Rethabile...
You have an excellent point there. Yet, I will encourage you not to think that way. The fact that Americans have coined this phrase is because they love their Country and they want God to bless it. Of course, you can definitely always use the phrase "God bless Lesotho," and God will be God concerning Lesotho. I loved your point of view though, thanks for stopping by :)
Cheers,
I had had a tough day and one more GBA proved too much. But God Bless America, if you'd like. I guess I'm free to ask God to bless Lesotho, too.
And in fact it all goes deeper than that, and is in relation, too, with what the United States has been doing around the world.
I say God bless us all.
