LORD HAVE MERCY ON US WITH ALL THESE EXPLOSIVES
When we call in our minds the current events of explosives at Gongo La Mboto. We relate the incident with Exodus 3:7 when The LORD said, "I have indeed seen the misery of my people in Egypt, (Tanzania) I have heard them crying out because of their problems (blasts), and I am concerned about their suffering.
Proverbs 9 teaches us that if we confront a wise man, he will love us for it. So, anger shared with a mature friend or mate will end up bringing us closer together. But Proverbs 9 also teaches us that if we rebuke a fool he will hate us for it, so don’t waste your time with him. Share that anger with God, a counselor or your prayer partner and turn vengeance over to God and protect yourself from evil person;
The question which we need to ask ourselves at this particular moment when our nation in a great loss of our fellow citizens is that are we prudent? (The government) The bible teaches us that "A prudent man sees danger and takes refuge, but the simple keep going and suffer for it." (NIV) The King James says the prudent man "hideth himself." The blast explosive is a problem that carries the potential for emergency, and because it is a problem we can see coming, I believe we are being prudent to prepare for the emergency days ahead.
Troubles concern us against our government, not just because hardship itself is a burden, but there is no mutual caring to the citizens, government is too busy with few people who becoming richer and richer. The end result is for citizens blaming God for giving us this kind of government we lose faith in Him, or begin to doubt His goodness and mercy. As Job's wife said, "Curse God and die" (Job 2:9). We believe that “Leadership gains authority and respect when the voiceless poor are treated fairly.” Proverbs 29:14;
Therefore for us today we look our leadership differently in a way that if we want our nation to prosper “A nation will prosper when its ruler is mature, and its leaders don't party too much.” Ecclesiastes. 10:17 and may be that more serious do our leaders a truly believes who apply golden rule? As Proverbs 29:18 says “A nation without God's guidance is a nation without order. Happy are those who keep God's law!”Or “When there is moral rot within a nation, its government topples easily; but with honest, sensible leaders there is stability.” Proverbs 28:2
Therefore as we still think about what happened on Wednesday and our fellow citizens died in explosive at Gongo la Mboto area, we are still keeping praying that God grant us tolerance against our leaders and bless our nation and grant us a government with wise leadership to run things, so that we can be glad. As Proverbs 29:2 and 11:14 teaches us “Be a good citizen. All governments are under God. Insofar as there is peace and order, it's God's order. So live responsibly as a citizen.” Romans 13:1 “If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.” 2 Chron. 7:14; therefore I concur with Reinhold Niebuhr in this prayer“
“God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference”.
God Bless Tanzania My Country I love You Tanzania
