THE SPIRITUAL CONSEQUENCES OF SUPPORTING BAD LEADERSHIP.

 The curse of stagnation and confusion is broken because of the anointing of God's favour upon you.

Devotional: THE SPIRITUAL CONSEQUENCES OF SUPPORTING BAD LEADERSHIP.

By Rev Michael Benson Ajayi 

“Then God sent an evil spirit between Abimelech and the men of Shechem; and the men of Shechem dealt treacherously with Abimelech, that the violence done…MIGHT BE REPAID.” – Judges 9:23-24 (AMP)

“Woe (judgment is coming) to you, destroyer, and you yourself have not been destroyed; and he who is treacherous, while others did not deal treacherously with him! As soon as you finish destroying, you will be destroyed; as soon as you cease dealing treacherously, others will deal treacherously with you. O Lord, be gracious to us; we have waited expectantly for You. Be our strength every morning, our salvation also in the time of trouble.” – Isaiah 33:1-2 (AMP)

   Supporting bad leadership invites destruction. In Judges 9, the people backed Abimelech—a leader who rose through bloodshed. Eventually, God allowed conflict and ruin as judgment. Isaiah 33:1-2 shows a similar principle: those who use treachery will reap treachery. Evil leaders and their supporters will face the consequences of their actions.

   When we justify wicked rulers for money, tribal loyalty, or fear, we call evil good (Isaiah 5:20) and share in their guilt (Romans 1:32). Proverbs 29:2 warns that wicked leadership brings groaning and suffering. Hosea 8:4 reminds us that installing leaders without God’s guidance leads to chaos.

   As believers, we must seek God’s will, reject compromise, and pray for righteous governance. Our allegiance is first to God, not corrupt systems.

REFLECTION QUESTION:

Am I supporting leaders based on God’s standards of righteousness or on selfish interests?

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 preach righteousness.

Lord, be gracious to us as Isaiah prayed. Forgive us where we have supported unrighteous leadership. Be our strength every morning and our salvation in times of trouble. Help us to choose and support leaders who honor You. Amen.
