God Is My Only Leader...

In the past times, god walked with his people, as a cloud in the day and as a fire in the night… he was their leader… and for sure he is still the leader… but now, not in the eye of the people…
I remember from the old testament, when the people made a revolution in front of god… they want a leader from them as all the other peoples of earth… they didn’t want that god enter in every part of there life… they would a one from them, chosen by god as they said that time… And remember there the words of the bible: god was very angry…

The difference is easy and very well known… god and human…
When god was the leader, this people passed through the waters of the red sea… lived in the desert… the water came out from a rock… nutrition came from the sky… But mainly, the people was peaceful, happy, walking in the right way…
But when the humans rule, god leaved his position in front of our ways… And since that time humans conduct us in the wrong way… they pushed us to war… to kill… to destroy… to violate others proprieties… in the name of governing… in the name of persistence of their proper rules… and unfortunately in the name of peace… killing for self peace…
For self prices… and only self gain of the leader and his group…
And you cannot find a king that didn’t do it… even the best ones of them in the eyes of god…
Even they killed Jesus … By a leader order… The leader thinking… let one person die, this is better than all a people die…
Simply, peoples measure is different from god measure, and their thinking is almost below the god’s one…

But, as the leaders are present now, I would remember you of the words of saint Paul… the leader is almost always chosen by god… and we all as Christians, we must accept our leaders and their faults…
Remember also the words of Jesus: don’t judge anybody to not be judged…
God is the only judge… the only good one…
And god is the one that choose the leader, and for sure he is the only one that have the power and the right to change or remove him… but specially he is the only one that can judge him…
You will say for me now: if this man is not good… even he is a terrorist, a killer… would we accept such a leader?!...
I will respond: very true… you feel in an unfair situation… you are innocent… I will remember you brother or sister, we are not better than our master Jesus…
You will say again: yes I understand that, but if I can change something and live more peacefully, why would I live in such a situation?!...

I will remember you that Jesus could have an army, not from humans but from angels that would fight for him but he didn’t want that… maybe if he fights that time he would change many things in the world…

Now I will talk about what is happening now in my country… because this is what pushed me to write this…
I watched from away as my habitude with everything…
These words are mainly addressed to the ones calling themselves Christians… what was the target of your movement?…
Disturbing and destroying a regime…
You will say: this government hands are filled with blood…
But who are you to blame others…
Aren’t you a human ? and you do always faults…
The government is a group of humans… then a group of errors… and you know very well that when someone has a great position or leadership , any small error on our size will be a terrible error on the nation level…
I do not support governments errors, but also I don’t support the destructive judgment of them… specially that this is done by former governors that share with the actual ones the same errors if not more than them…
Remember please: god is the one that chooses the leaders… ask him to change them when you see in the bottom of your heart they are betraying the role that god gives to them…
God put them… so don’t use your hands and own power to change what he chose…
You know something… even the church is working against that… I mean against what I’m saying… and this is very dangerous…
Her role is to teach love… to assure peace… to keep life… but she is not doing that…
She must not work in the bath of politics…
That’s really abnormal… I didn’t see even a one… even a one praying to remove the government or praying for the peace in the country…
That’s terrible…
People are conducted as puppets… go now… move now… get up… walk…
Someone is playing by the people… just by awakening their deep feelings… specially the extremist ones… the ones that make Christians away from the reality of Christ… love…
The feeling of refusing the other is a sin… refusing him is sure a big sin… hating others is a sin… working for destroying others is a sin… being angry is a sin… saying bad things about others is a sin…

Now you know my point of view… I know you are now laughing… or saying in your heart that I’m abnormal… or unusual…
But I will tell you that I don’t need leaders or to change leaders… why?
Because my leader is the best one…
My leader is god and not a human…
I don’t have a problem with any leader here, because the rule that conduct me makes me passing through everything…
Why?
Because the only rule I have is love… and only love
