The Strong Man of Iraq
|
I was struck today, 9 April 2003, by words from a report written by a brother and sister in the Middle East just before the war in Iraq began. They wrote that, after prayer and fasting, they were being led to pray for the downfall of the "strong man of Iraq." Less than an hour before reading this report I had seen the pictures of Saddam's statue hauled to the ground. A bronze symbol of Iraq's strong man had been brought down. And Saddam himself and his decades of tyranny over Iraq seem near to an end. But I believe our brother and sister were speaking of another tyrant, a different strong man. One who is to Saddam as Saddam is to that statue. One of whom Saddam is only an outward and visible sign. Let us re-double out efforts to join with our brother and sister to pray for the downfall of the strong man of Iraq who has held the peoples of that region in bondage, not just for decades, but for millenia. (Ephesians 6:12, 18) Let us pray that the King of Kings will take dominion over that land and bring those there He loves so dearly into His Kingdom. They have suffered so very long as slaves of the enemy, the strong man of Iraq. © 2010 EveryPeople.net. May be used freely.
