BECAUSE IT WORKS DOESN’T MAKE IT RIGHT – analysing Trumps victory

I have started reading a lot of things of how people are making success quotes, processes, even prayers about how God can make you anything despite how wrong the things you do are.

There is a saying that the end justify the means, but that is not always true!

In this case of Trumps victory, the people of the USA were sceptical about the person of Trump as seen in the polling statistics before the election, which could mean they would not want him to be a role model to their children.

This is not to say Clinton was a better candidate in terms of morals (but she kept apologizing), but a Trumps personality, life style, utterances even that of his wife (which they are not apologetic about) is not the type we want our children to emulate.

A man may be corrupt, stealing our common wealth so that he can perpetuate himself as a leader, we may desire that position of leadership, but the means can never be justified.

Eccl. 8:12 ‘Though a sinner do evil an hundred times, and his days be prolonged, yet surely I know that it shall be well with them that fear God, which fear before him:’

We believe that every leadership is instituted by God and for a purpose, so we should pray for them; also we know that no man is beyond reproach or infallible, but a man that desires the position of leadership should be worthy as a role model. This is what we should teach our youth.

Philippians 4:8 ‘Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.’
