Prayer before the Word:

TODAY’S TOPIC: Good leaders offer good Leadership
Text: 2 Chronicles 34:6- (NIV):
"34:6. In the towns of Manasseh, Ephraim and Simeon, as far as Naphtali, and in the ruins around them,
34:7. he tore down the altars and the Asherah poles and crushed the idols to powder and cut to pieces all the incense altars throughout Israel. Then he went back to Jerusalem.
34:8. In the eighteenth year of Josiah's reign, to purify the land and the temple, he sent Shaphan son of Azaliah and Maaseiah the ruler of the city, with Joah son of Joahaz, the recorder, to repair the temple of the LORD his God.
34:9. They went to Hilkiah the high priest and gave him the money that had been brought into the temple of God, which the Levites who were the doorkeepers had collected from the people of Manasseh, Ephraim and the entire remnant of Israel and from all the people of Judah and Benjamin and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
34:10. Then they entrusted it to the men appointed to supervise the work on the LORD'S temple. These men paid the workers who repaired and restored the temple.
34:11. They also gave money to the carpenters and builders to purchase dressed stone, and timber for joists and beams for the buildings that the kings of Judah had allowed to fall into ruin.
34:12. The men did the work faithfully. Over them to direct them were Jahath and Obadiah, Levites descended from Merari, and Zechariah and Meshullam, descended from Kohath. The Levites--all who were skilled in playing musical instruments--
34:13. had charge of the laborers and supervised all the workers from job to job. Some of the Levites were secretaries, scribes and doorkeepers."
SHOWER (Reflection):
You cannot offer what you don't have. When one is crowned by His Grace, it pays to maintain that line of action. King Josiah was crowned at the age of 8. And he tried his best by following the good steps of his father, David. The end result was good governance and God-fearing nation he entrenched in his time. There is need for you to always pray for a good leader or good leaders. If you know good things to do to also bring them on board which is aside prayer, don't hesitate in doing that. Vote with your conscience during elections...and you will see a big difference.
