“WHEN LAWMAKERS BLOCK JUSTICE”
By Rev Michael Benson Ajayi
Proverbs 29:2 – “When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; but when a wicked man rules, the people groan.”
In every nation, justice is the foundation of peace. When lawmakers refuse to pass bills that guarantee free and fair elections, they deny the people their God-given right to righteousness and equity. The Bible warns that when justice is perverted, oppression multiplies Poverty and insecurity increases (Ecclesiastes 5:8).
God expects His people to speak up. “Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves; ensure justice for those being crushed” (Proverbs 31:8-9 AMP). Silence in the face of injustice empowers the wicked. As Christians, we must pray for our leaders (1 Timothy 2:1-2) but also take lawful action to demand accountability.
God hates dishonest scales (Proverbs 11:1). Electoral fraud and legislative sabotage destroy the foundation of governance and hinders the gospel . Therefore, believers must use their voice, their vote, and their influence to promote integrity. Advocacy, peaceful protests, and media engagement are righteous acts when done lawfully and for the common good.
Remember: God will judge corrupt rulers (Isaiah 10:1-3). But He also calls us to partner with Him in establishing justice. Rise up, speak out, and let righteousness rule in your land!
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 courage to demand justice and wisdom to act in righteousness, in Jesus’ name. Amen.
