President Obama not to long ago made a speech to the nation's youth and it was full of good advice but there was something missing, why? His explaination was, "we would let our country down if we didn't stay in school" but President Obama, BUT WHY? Why would I care about my country? why would I care about getting a better education, why would I care about helping the poor, curing diseases, making the country fair, why would I care about my fellow man? His speech was full of moralism and I am sorry but that is a whole lot of burden to place on the nation's youth. The same things many Christian parents say when we force our children to get out of bed and go to school and giving them the same reasons President Obama had in his speech but if you remember as a youth, was education important to you? did you really fully comprehend why you had to get up 6:00 am five days a week only to go to a building to be bullied, teased etc....?

The answer of "why" is God. We do all of what Obama says and our parents say because it helps the gospel, we get a better education so in order to understand the gospel so we can teach or we become pastors and evangelist in order to spead the gospel to all nations, we get an education so we can get better jobs so we have the skills of creating organizations, balancing books, create biblical illustrations for children, we can get better jobs so we can make more money so that we can give to the church to further His word.

Why? We do it in response to the gospel.

As a christian of the Lord you should care very much that the spiritual authority of the president is prayed thoroughly with the blood of Jesus Christ to clean his life as clean and even the controlling spirit out of his face , Prayer that no witchcraft spirit come from your complaining and conplaining of overs, and that your prayers are as full that there is a place for you that is favourable for your church and you in this country. Jesus will judge your prayers now and honor the prayers of his will and also will Judge your prayers for when you see him in Glory Holding up the leaders Good leaders or bad leaders makes no difference Hold them up and Jesus will hold you up in the earth Jesus said `` Pray for your enemies``.and things will go good for you in the earth
