When Leaders Break Their Oaths: Faith, Power, and Public Trust

 

Politicians, judges and civil servants abuse their power after swearing oaths with the Bible

Politicians, judges, and civil servants abuse their power after swearing oaths on the Bible.


Worldwide, civil servants, high court judges, government officials, and politicians taking appointments or political government positions are required to take the oath before serving the public to respect and protect human and civil rights and freedoms.


To fulfill their official duties entrusted to them with dignity, they either hold the Bible in their right hands or lay their hands on the holy book, swear to ensure security, legality, law, order, and integrity of the state, and serve the people.

CURSE: IF YOU DESERVE IT, YOU CAN'T ESCAPE IT


One can't escape a curse if you deserve it

One can't escape a curse if you deserve it.


A curse is a call for evil to come on a person or thing, but does it really work? Wickedness and violence now rule this world. Therefore, can a victim of a painful incident’s curse take effect on the one who was responsible for his or her misery? Yes, it can.



The Holy Bible speaks about the curse, and truly, if one deserves it, one can never escape the wrath of a curse pronounced on one. The disastrous effect of the curse on people is not commonly seen in advanced countries. 

But in countries where poverty is very strong, you can’t just steal your neighbor's goat, sheep, cat, or property with impunity from a curse.

There are hundreds of mad people in many Third World countries. If you investigate the circumstances that led most of those people to be in that condition, you will be amazed. The Bible writes that, after the cure of Naaman from leprosy, Elisha refused to take any gift from him.

Gehazi, the servant of Elisha, secretly followed Naaman and collected the gifts, saying his master was too easy. God revealed to Elisha what his servant had done. 

When Gehazi returned to his master, he said to him, “Naaman’s leprosy will cling to you and your descendants forever.

Then Gehazi went from Elisha’s presence, and he was leprous as white as snow. That is the effect of a curse. Gehazi deserves it for the wrong he did, which was the reason he couldn’t escape it. 

One mustn’t think this was just a Biblical story; in this case, it doesn’t mean anything.

If you don’t believe in a ‘curse’, just keep it in your mind, but please don’t try it by causing harm or stealing someone’s property, to test if a curse could affect you. 

If the victim pronounces his or her curse on you, there wouldn’t be any room to escape. 

A curse is like a fit of spiritual anger that cannot be seen. No matter where you are, if you deserve it, you can never escape it.
