It is not funny at all, how the Americans are griped by the fear of uncertainty and the world catches cold has the President-elect Donald trump returns to the White House after his swearing in that is scheduled for 20th January 2025. It is instructive to note, how one person can make the entire world jittery and flabbergasted. The reasons cannot be far-fetched and can be connected to his threatening utterances at his campaign rallies, targeting those whom he considers has his political opponents, holding position in Public Service especially the Department of Justice and others, whom he has vowed to use his office to challenge their unlawful existence in America, including the illegal immigrants that are to face mass deportation. His plans on the release of those who have been incarcerated regarding the January 6th 2021 insurrection on the Capitol Hill, which he is believed to be the mastermind as well as his threat against the Palestinians and the promise made to end the Russia- Ukraine war on his first day of assumption of power.
Recall also, the strong message he sent to China on his planned increase of Tarif on the goods manufactured by China. His planned policies that are at variance with those of his predecessor Joe Biden, in respect of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), as well as, the possibility of pulling America out of the Committee of Nations, who are in support of finding solutions to the problem of climate change. There is no gain saying the fact that the President-elect Donald trump has so much in his mouth to chew, as well as, having so much in terms of both the local and foreign policies issues to contend with.
Don’t forget also that he has only just four years to turn around the world into how he would like it to be, and probably forgetting that the blind man’s world is limited by the bound of his touch. However, it is not a surprise that one man can aspire to change the entire world in four years especially when one considers the strong personality and the optimism of Donald trump. This is somebody who admonishes that since one has to think anyway, one should think big. He is also a believer in the admonition that one’s reach should exceed his grasp because that is why the Heavens are there. In fairness to him, wisdom demands that no one should underestimate someone who overestimates himself.
Having analyzed as much as one knows about the President-elect Donald trump, it is important also to appreciate the fact that as fearful as reality is, it is not as fearful as the evasion of reality itself. To the end, it is important to make these important suggestions that are as follow to Mr. Donald trump, the President-elect.
Since the Pedestal that informed the choice of the theme or mantra of your campaign which is ‘’making America great again’’, was connected to Christianity, its actualization therefore becomes a task which only got who is the Creator of the Heavens and the Earth can make happen, it is therefore, important to take the emphasis on ‘’self’’ out of the equation, for no man who place God will be able to remain as man again. A good example is King Nebuchadnezzar in the bible and king Herod in bible also (acts of the apostles chapter 12).
It is important also to note that God alone is the one that has the power to raise up and to bring down kings. God does spare the lives of people either for the declaration of his praise or for their destruction. In either of the two situations, God takes His Glory which cannot be shared with any man, and remains Unchangeble and Unquestionable. We recall how God raised Pharaoh and for his destruction in the red sea. What determines what becomes of any man whose life God has spared whether for glory or for destruction is whether the man is well positioned in the covenant or not. There is a passage of scriptures that buttresses the assertion: ‘’and you shall remember the Lord your God, for it is He who gives you power to get wealth, that He may establish His covenant which He swore to your fathers, as it is this day’’ (Deuteronomy 8-18).
The words power and wealth can be used interchangeably even as we are admonished to have respect to the covenant, because the dark places of the earth are full of the habitation of cruelty. To the President-elect, Mr. Donald Trump, magnanimity in victory is a mark humility and behind the greatness of Moses was his meekness, for only the meek will God guard in judgement and he will God teach His ways. There is a way that seems right unto a man, but the end are the ways of destruction. May the President-elect, Mr. Donald Trump not go in the ways of destruction. He should remember also that man is man because of others, alone man is an animal. Together, we can make America better and greater.
God bless the President-elect, Mr. Donald Trump!
God bless America!
