Happy Birthday

Everyone must submit himself to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God. 2 Consequently, he who rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves. Romans 13:1,2

Happy birthday sir. Never thought in the 51 years of my life that I would ever see a President of Color. Who in there right mind would want to champion the virtues of this contry after 8 years of Cheyney(Bush was a puppet) a struggling economy, two wars,political parties so rooted in championing there idealogies that common sense is thrown out the window. Racism that is so prevalent that it appears not to be a factor. And most of all a decaying infrastructure that resembles a third world nation instead of the greatest nation in the world. Think about it why would you want be President of this ungreatful, narcissitic divided place? The answer is found in this piece out of Romans 13:2. This forecast by the Apostle Paul through the spirit of God is among us today.

Moving forward we need to respect the authority presented to us in the person of President Obama. In light of the present political climate and the state of affairs concerning the economy his efforts and leadership take on a negative tone from the far right and far left. As a result it appears that he is damn if he does and damn if he don't. But notice the humble manner in which the President deals with each attack and criticism concerning his governing ability. Faced with all of these challenges it would take a humble heart and a supernatural attitude to manage all of it. Inspite of what we think President Obama was positioned for this time not by the people but by God. If you are reading this and you ideals are to the far right or left this would appear to be unreal. There is a piece in Matthew 21 starting at verse 28 that will illustrate the point that I am making. Not only is his presidency verified through these two illustrations from Romans 13 and Matthew 21 but confirmed by the very makeup of his paternal and maternal lineage which incorporates the properties that at the root divides this nation. It is race.

Today I witness the celebration of 50 years in preparation by God of a man who leads the most powerful nation on earth. His election to this position was no accident. It was manifested in the heavens for such a time as this. Amen.
