JUSTICE In THE UKRAINE!
Pray for Justice
& Liberty
Will
not God bring about justice for his chosen ones, who cry out
to Him day and night? … I tell you, He will see that they
get justice, and quickly…" (Lk 18:7-8).
Declaring a rigged presidential run-off
invalid, Ukraines Supreme Court paved the way for Ukrainians
to throw off Russian domination and to embrace Western-style
democracy. Christians need to support the Ukrainian people with
prayer; to help them lay hold of liberty and justice, now within
reach.
·
For over two weeks, tens of thousands of Ukrainians
have born frigid temperatures and drenching rains to maintain
round-the-clock vigil in Kievs Independence Square. Their cry
for liberty and justice inspires freedom-loving people everywhere.
·
The post-election runoff was fraught with irregularities
and rigged to favor Prime Minister Viktor Yanukovych who is backed
by Russian President Vladimir Putin.
·
Yanukovychs election would mean an increase of
the pro-Russia policies of outgoing President Leonid Kuchma -
]the imposition of an authoritarian system [similar to what Putin]
is creating in Russia… a propagandistic regime, controlled
media, official persecution of dissent, business executives who
take orders from the state, and elections that are neither free
nor fair… [and an expanding] bloc of non-democratic
countries controlled by the Kremlin…” www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A11910-2004Nov25.html?sub=AR
).
·
Supporters are confident pro-West former Prime
Minister Viktor Yushchenko will prevail in an honest runoff.
·
Christians among the protestors say, "There's
an atmosphere of joy and hope…”
·
Thousands of independent churches face open hostility
from the political old guard (cooperating with the Orthodox Church).
Evangelicals will suffer if Putin and his cronies maintain their
grip on the nation. Thankfully, the U.S. officially supports
the protesters.
