Here's what the politician as to say to get my vote! Jeremiah 22-26

Jeremiah 22:3 is the perfect campaign speech for any politician who wants my vote.   If our political leaders would follow this simply formula the country would be bless by God, as stated in 22:4-5.   Instead of rhetoric about budgets and scandals, wouldn't it be great if a leader said they were running on the platform to do Justice and practice Righteousness.   Would the masses vote for that platform?   Probably note.   What if the local politician said he/she was going to run on the ideas of "delivering the poor from those who oppress them" and meant it rather than using it as a way to garner votes?   Would the masses vote for him/her?   What if the political junkie said the were running on the idea of caring for the orphan and widow and wanted to make sure innocent blood was protected and cared for and they would punish, with vengeance, those who shed innocent blood (Romans 13:1-5)?   Would the masses vote for them?  Now, you might say, "NO!" the masses wouldn't vote for that kind of political platform.   However, that is not the point.   The masses wouldn't have to vote for that type of leadership and, yet, that type of leadership would still win.   God would and has, voted for that type of leadership.   And, when God votes, "Yes" - you win!! God promises in 22:4 blessings on the leadership that leads with this mercy, justice and righteousness.   It is time for leadership to take God at His word.  We have so many "religious" and "christian" leaders who want to win the world's way - with the world's arguments and the world's marketing plan.  God tells us what good leaders look like and what He will do when they lead.  Enough said!
