Good -Life Devotional: OVERCOMING A COMPROMISED JUDICIARY IN ELECTIONS

By Rev Michael Benson Ajayi 

    In many nations, especially during elections, the judiciary is expected to uphold justice. However, when courts become tools for manipulation, truth suffers. Isaiah 5:20 warns, “Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness.” Verse 23 condemns those “who justify the wicked for a bribe, and take away justice from the righteous.” God’s response to such corruption is severe: “As the fire devours the stubble… their root will be as rottenness” (Isaiah 5:24). Verse 25 declares His anger burns against such a nation.

   How then should the people respond when the judiciary is compromised? First, believers must refuse to participate in injustice. Exodus 23:8 states, “You shall take no bribe, for a bribe blinds the discerning and perverts the words of the righteous.” Christians must speak out boldly against judicial corruption, as Proverbs 31:8-9 commands: “Open your mouth for the speechless… defend the rights of the poor and needy.”

    Secondly, prayer and prophetic declaration are powerful weapons. In Luke 18:7, Jesus assures that God will “avenge His elect who cry out day and night to Him.” Persistent intercession can turn the tide.

  Lastly, the Church must educate society on integrity, holding leaders accountable. Isaiah 1:17 urges us: “Seek justice, rebuke the oppressor; defend the fatherless.”

    Though corrupt judges may pervert justice temporarily, God remains the ultimate Judge, and He will “bring every work into judgment” (Ecclesiastes 12:14).

  In our daily prayers we should seek a healthy appetite for God's word and his judgement against unrepentant corrupt judges .

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 corruption.
