2019 GENERAL ELECTION: EXPOSING THE SPIRIT OF FALSE CONFIDENCE

Preambles: The 2019 General Election is just a few days ahead. However, so much comments have been expressed, by politicians. Most of the politicians are expressing their confidence of winning in the coming election. The word of God says "For we are of the circumcision, which worship God in the Spirit and rejoice in Christ Jesus and have no confidence in the flesh. (Philippians 3:3)

What gives these politicians the confidence of winning in the next general election?

1. The money they have at their disposal to induce the voters to vote for them.

2. The charms the carry on their bodies.

3. The number of supporters that they are able to gather.

4. The power to influence the Electoral Body to their advantage.

5. The satanic powers behind them.

6. The power of incumbency.

7. The power of rigging.

ETC.

King Nebuchadnezzar and King Hezekiah  were two rulers that exhibited confidence in two different ways:

1. King Nebuchadnezzar erected a Golden Image in the Land of Babylon and instructed everyone to bow down to worship the image. His confidence was in the false god he had created. Read the book of Daniel Chapter 3 to learn about this story.

2, King Hezekiah on the other hand put his confidence in the Lord God to deliver and grant him victory against Sennacherib the King of Assyria. Read the book of Isaiah Chapter 37 to learn more about this.

However, the arm of flesh will always fail. Everyone who is contesting the next general election with the spirit of false confidence, will fail woefully. All power belongs to the Almighty God who rules in the affairs of men. Therefore, it is only the LORD that can guarantee someone victory in election. God may choose anyone, both the righteous man or the ungodly man to accomplish his divine purpose depending on the circumstances that was prevailing. Romans 13:1 says  "Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.
