Good -Life Devotional: WHEN PREACHERS AND POLITICAL LEADERS FAIL GOD

By Rev Michael Benson Ajayi 

When those entrusted with spiritual and political leadership fail God, His purposes do not falter. Scripture makes clear that God remains sovereign over the affairs of men. Isaiah 63:5 declares, “I looked, but there was no one to help, and I was amazed that there was no one to uphold [truth and right]; so My own arm brought salvation to Me.” Even when leaders abandon righteousness, God steps in to fulfill His will.

Isaiah 32:1-6 warns of a time when fools are exalted and leaders fail in wisdom and integrity. Yet it opens with a promise: “A king will reign in righteousness and princes will rule with justice.” This foreshadows the rule of Christ, the ultimate righteous leader. When human systems collapse, God is never caught off guard.

History affirms this truth. Eli and his sons, Hophni and Phinehas, corrupted the priesthood with immorality (1 Samuel 2:12-17). But God had already prepared Samuel, a faithful child who would hear His voice (1 Samuel 3:1-10). When Saul, Israel’s first king, disobeyed God, He chose David, a humble shepherd boy, to lead with a heart after Him (1 Samuel 13:14).

Daniel 4:17 reminds us, “The Most High rules in the kingdom of men, and gives it to whomever He will.” No failure by man can thwart God's eternal plan. His sovereignty ensures that even in human weakness, His will prevails. God does not abandon His people—He raises up new vessels to carry out His divine agenda.

  In our daily prayers we should seek a healthy appetite for God's word and for his will to be done in our countries. 

PRAYER: Heavenly Father forgive me of my sins against you I believe Jesus Christ died and was raised again for my salvation I receive him as lord and saviour and receive the Holy Spirit and power to overcome depression.
