Why Do the Heathen Rage?

By Ayodeji Awe

Why do the Heathen Rage? is a perplexity that presents a melting pot of the supernatural and the natural. Regarding this monumental collision of Donald Trump and the Left, the celestial teleprompter displays the central insight that whenever the son of man sights the serpent, he goes after its head while the serpent in return pursues his heels. It's a dog fight. The God factor in Trump coupled with the imposing octagonal causation of hatred no doubt conspicuously prime-timed him, for which the Heathen (the cartel of the Democrats and the Liberal Mainstream Press) could not resist going after him like in a mad vengeance. But God is unequivocally committed to His own agenda for which Trump is a major character. He therefore zeroes his eyes on the detractors, calls them out for their atrocities, warns them to repent and possibly fall in line. He further embraces the supporters, encouraging them to keep the faith, stand tall and kneel only to Almighty God. They must keep up with support of the President and return him to the White House in November 2020, that the good works in progress may continue. Finally He prophesies an assurance to America as a nation that He will not renege on his covenant with the Pilgrim forefathers. Ultimately Coronovirus wears off, the experiential peace of God returns ushering in normalcy while America remains an icon and a place most coveted and sought on earth.

FOREWORD

The election of President Trump on November 8, 2016 was miraculous. It took the mighty hands of God to force the opposition against him in the Democratic Party and their cronies in the media to bow in the manner of let my people go! His election is a proof that God controls the affairs of men. When God is for you, no one can be against you. This truth is evident in the way God had journeyed with Trump from the day he declared to run for the presidency to the day he won the election. His story was similar to the selection of King David in scripture (1 Samuel 16). God told Samuel to select one of the sons of Jesse as king to replace Saul but Samuel approached the selection by looking at their outward appearance while God who judges the heart of men rejected all the seven brothers and chose David who was the least amongst them. It is the same way with Trump. Out of the seventeen republican candidates that vied for the presidency, Trump was the least favored by the king makers of the party but God bypassed the rest and chose Trump. The eventual matchup with Hillary Clinton went in Trump’s favor in spite of the massive media opposition.

The left was in shock till today. However, instead of licking their wounds and hopefully look toward the next election, they opened their hearts to pride that gave birth to an intense hate for Trump. In their folly, they cooked plans to remove him. From #Metoo to Russiagate to Ukrainegate; they threw everything at him including the traditional kitchen sink but failed woefully. The harder they tried, the more the Lord is prospering him and his presidency. In his time America enjoyed economic boom, with record low unemployment. In their frustration, they became sympathetic and supportive of BLM-disguised rioters, looters and arsonists who are terrorizing and burning their own neighborhoods (mostly democrat run cities). Their goal is to instill fear to incite the citizens to vote their way in the coming election his elect is playing out- "….For I will contend with him that contendeth with but this too is backfiring; while the promise of God for thee, and I will save thy children. And I will feed them that oppress thee with their own flesh; and they shall be drunken with their own blood, as with sweet wine: and all flesh shall know that I the Lord am thy Savior and thy Redeemer, the mighty one of Jacob (Isa. 49:25-26). Look forward to God culminating this covenant with another surprise, resounding victory for President Trump come this November.

Dr. Ayodeji Awe has in good conscience done a masterful job of informing and enlightening in this one-of-a-kind book: ‘Why do the Heathen Rage?’ to the end that no one would make a mistake supporting and voting for the wrong candidate. He calls on us all to make the right choice.

PROLOGUE

For the believers, the commons and any other, especially those who don’t have the luxury of monitoring the fast-moving 24/7 news cycle, this book is a simplified, precise brief of the central on goings in the political arena under the tenure of President Trump, the man who single-handedly shapes and drives the news as well as the reactions to it. His first term as President comes to an end in November 2020 but the nation must vote to either retain him or have someone else take over. With this treatise read, citizens can access all they need to know that would help them assess their needs for tomorrow and the future and make the right choice as to who they believe could better manage the country following the election and the state of mind he needs to be continuing. It is an individual decision that cannot be carelessly made. For the sake of not just our own future but also that of the generations following, we owe life in totality the best decision ever. Facts, common sense and wisdom will be good accessories to this effect.

––––––––––––––––—

The atmosphere is filled with the contradiction between what we see and hear. Since Trump came to power in America, a lot of things have changed for the better resulting into better economy and a God friendly and peaceful community of living. But on the airwaves the opposition has a field day flooding the earth with unmatched reports of his performance to a point where it becomes essential to ask: how could a man outperforming history be so smeared and barraged with hostilities of never- seen proportions? It could only be that his avowed detractors, a cartel of the Democrats and Mainline Press are either blind to what is plainly available for all others to see or are just intentionally evil toward Trump, who God had approved as the head of a specially loved nation, America, for a season like this.

The book ‘Why do the Heathen rage?’ proceeds to highlight the God factor in Trump and his good works on one hand and on the other expose the hatred and evil acts of the opposition. The intent is for the opposition to reconsider their negativities, repent and possibly switch allegiance while the supporters stand resolute, tall and strong and well postured to return the President into the White House come November 2020.

The book satirically drawing inspiration from Psalm 2 scripted by David the anointed, convinces us of God’s unflinching support for America especially in the era of Trump his chosen man; the main reason why we all must work toward retaining the man for another term, that following the demise of Coronavirus, peace and prosperity unparalleled will continue to pervade the land. With Trump’s coziness with God, America remains the best; a country most desired and sought on earth.

INTRODUCTION

Why do the heathen rage, and the people

imagine a vain thing? (Psalm 2:1).

Leave Trump alone. Let him be. This is his time, on his turf. Let him do his thing. It is his privilege. No one gets that high that is not permitted by God. In as much, leave him alone; yield him his space and time. He has a lot to do and accomplish. Back off if you have no genuine and good intention to lend a helping hand. Let Trump be while God who gave him the spot be the judge.

Be sure to understand this: The matter concerning President Donald Trump and America is by the decree of the watchers, and the demand of the holy ones: to the intent that the living may know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whom he will, and setteth up over it the basest of men (Dan 4:17). Ultimately, God controls the affairs of man on the face of the earth.

In the realm of human operation and understanding, attaining to the presidency is not like qualifying for a mini golf tournament somewhere. The process of gaining the occupational rights to the White House is excruciatingly winding. You have to go through building grassroots foundational support and primaries in your party amidst many who are interested in the same position. Then after you have come atop in your party, it is time for national duel, where mainly the nominee of the Republican Party meets that of the Democratic Party. Trust me, it is usually a slugfest. You cannot enter that ring if you are not wholly strong. Such a competition is not for ‘the boys and girls.’ The arena is for tensile men and muscled up women. Becoming the President of the United States takes you through a competition that is as tough as none other.

I say this to buttress my appeal to all especially those who made it their life goal to trouble Donald Trump, giving him no pass in anything he does. A man who had blazed this kind of trail deserves to do his time. He is entitled to his work and be given a room to accomplish his goals within the allotted terms. It is his right to enjoy the fruits of his labor. As the prevailed one amongst many, he deserves running the show his own style. Now is his time and season to make marks as he is entitled. Give him his space: for you and me that is the right thing to do.

I stand out amongst ‘the afraid’.

Like Apostle Paul while in Athens, I was

moved within me (cf. Acts 17:16).

Many are afraid to speak for Donald Trump. It seems unpopular, partly because his opposers in the press are many and they daily drumbeats that beat upon him. You wondered if CNN, MSNBC, NYT, WAPO and a host of others in the Liberal Press clique had a job had Donald Trump not occupied the White House. Nevertheless, there are those who have identified his uniqueness and the unbelievable good in him and so regardless of whatever, have pitched their tents by him. Some amongst them are ambivalent at worst and disturbed at best with prospects of speaking for him in the public. Nevertheless they will vote for him because at the solitary voting booth, no one has to look at you weird for siding with him when in reality the anti-Trumps are the ones really absurd.

Bearing in mind that Donald Trump is chosen, some have to confront the gauntlet and speak in his favor. What used to be unpopular before has now in the post George Floyd era becomes more dangerous or at least, scary. With the cancel culture era increasingly pervading, speaking for Trump or sounding conservative drumbeats may sometimes draw the ire of the self- commissioned mob that have pierced the heart of the fearful and hijacked the serenity of many communities. Nevertheless, few or many that are defiantly courageous can and will make a difference come November 2020.

Apart from the silent, someone who is black, not born here, naturalized citizen, who doesn’t look like him but who is truthful and has identified many goods in his deliveries has summoned courage to speak up on that which is not only commendable but true. I know and I pray that there are many others like this author who sensibly have seen the good works that the President has done since he took over the leadership. In our world where it is uncommon to find politicians deliver but full of words, you and I can see an exception that ironically is more visible in actions than in words. Remember that absolute truth is spoken of and empowered by God whose incarnate Word is the way the truth and life (John 14:6). We are encouraged to draw a line between words and deeds. Ye shall know them by their fruits. Not everyone who saith Lord! Lord! shall inherit the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven (Matt. 7:16, 21). These are expressions by Christ that irrespective of how you take it: literally or metaphorically, teach that words are not as viable as action or deeds. A man of actions is always to be preferred. Regardless of what camp you belong it cannot be denied that Trump gets the job done.

Lies may not be swiftly barred from harassing the truth but one thing we know: it would not be a lasting crusade. No matter how big a lie, it will sooner or later be dissolved by an atom of truth. Many who are against him have taken for granted that Trump had not many supporters and so are emboldened to set an array against him. Because they outmatch the conservatives, so they feel, they are befuddled by their own noise. Yet unknown to them is the fact that there are countless supporters. Many are Christians who felt obliged to the municipal code of politics in the church- the ‘myth’ that government ought not to be in discussion in the sanctuary. Step higher: the clergy are even more at risk. As a pastor, you can safely bet that your members are polarized, stuck in between (Independents-‘Indes’), Republicans (‘Repubs’) and Democrats (‘Dems’). Many amongst understood that people are very emotional and more emotional as the day passes by and see the ‘wisdom’ in not speaking politics in church. That path is to secure your neutrality in lieu, which in the end does not provide an answer to the dilemma faced by all of us: we as individual citizen owes the future of not only our families but the nation, to choose wisely and realistically the leaders of the land. This to achieve, we cannot avoid being truthful first to ourselves and secondly to those around us who may be clueless of the needed articulation.

Nonetheless, the Dems and the Left have taken the silence of the lambs to mean non-existing support. They forget that good men are defined in the place of their action.

This book therefore, is written to let those who are watching know that though it hardly seems like, however, Mr. Trump has a bunch of supporters who are silent. Many are believers who understand the major personality of the President who won’t even think twice before they cast their vote for him because to these people, he is the only and the other option. No other exists! I also want to convey to all, to sincerely take time to carefully assess Trump in the light of his goals relative to our beloved country, at a dispensation when there are not too many willing to sacrifice for the good of the nation as an entity and individual citizens as a populace. He is one who by the grace of God with the manifestoes that, allowing divine assistance to thrive, would evolve a blessed and prosperous nation. I want to be optimistic that the more attention is paid to what he represents; the more those in opposition will switch to come alongside him. It doesn’t matter who you are, you want the country to be a good habitable place for not only you but your future generation.

Remember, there is no alternative to God’s choice. Who is he that saith, and it came to pass, when the Lord commandeth it not? (Lam. 3:37).

CHAPTER 1

42168.png

IT’S ALL ABOUT GOD

"God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he

is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with

hands; Neither is worshipped with men’s hands, as though he

needed anything, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and

all things; And hath made of one blood all nations of men for

to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the

times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation;

That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after

him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us:

For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain

also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring.

Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought

not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or

stone, graven by art and man’s device" (Acts 17:24-29).

*God is the fire starter. He is the beginning. He predated

all. Everything as seen is linked with the Starter.

T he earth is the Lord’s and the fullness, the world and everyone who dwells in it. That we may know that God controls the affairs of man on the face of the earth, he sometimes does or allows things that seem too hard for the dwellers to decipher (Psalm 24:1, Dan. 4:17, ibid).

If God is not on your radar, you will not understand a bit of the landscape of politics in the US, talk less of the world. You cannot understand the whole story if you are out of grasp with the principles of and the mind of God that birthed the statements above. Bearing in mind that the foundation of this nation is God as we know it, nothing happens in the land that eludes the mind of God or his interest. The systematic exclusion of God from the polity and the public in the nation had been a gradual concern to the Lord. The end of Obama’s term became a turning point for God. Bear in mind that by then, some ungodliness and perversions have already become norms. Not only are homosexuals out of the closets, they are being legitimized and canvassed for by the highest political candidates of the land. They were awarded with status that serves only the normal while candies are dangled to lure in their votes. Obama and Clinton (his predecessor in the party lineage) both covet their favors. Some of them now have guts to vie for public posts. A few of them are mayors of major cities in America.

The Ten Commandments in the public sphere have been sidelined. Prayers could no longer be said in public places. We couldn’t celebrate even Christmas any longer without someone crying wolf. Thank God there are still the few who won’t give up on God and faith. These are the ones pleasing to God and on their behalf, God moved to be involved in the direction that America is going right now. They are like the Pilgrims who in the beginning put the land into God’s map. They are very special people. They commanded his attention by squaring up with a very special standard; opting to be separate and alienated for the purpose of living for, serving and worshiping God with their being and existence. That was the decision and God recognized it.

In 2016, He decided to engineer placing of a man after his own heart on the presidency. He is the anointed Trump. The Bible offers the code: no one puts this honor upon himself (except the one chosen); he must be called by God. As Aaron was, so is Trump (cf. Heb 5:4). Therefore, it is all about God. He is the Starter, Creator, the Agenda, the Executor, the remote Controller and the All in all. The living that is right in thought and deed must come to recognize that it started with God, it is all about him and it will end with him. You and I are finite variables in the scheme of things but glorious infinite beings in his creation that cannot be discarded (Eph 3:21).

In essence, God has the last say. In the very end, not my voice or yours or my idea or yours will matter. This is God’s created world. He has the last say. Cyrus entered the widest history book of the humans-the Bible, most read as ‘anointed’, in spite of his unqualified base. But what does it matter? God pronounced him fit and the rest was history. America has always been and still is, God’s, even in 2020. He puts Trump on the head of the government. Those who saw him as a misfit will ultimately misfire. There is no way to God without God (John 14:6, 10:31).

Trump was miraculously enthroned. He was ‘one-man’ sponsored. Opinions of many-polls, failed. Go and search the nitty-gritty of a phenomenon called miracle- it is always mysterious because of its ability to beat the imagination of man. That typifies the ascension of Trump.

Science loathes miracles; though for how long, I wonder. It is foolish to hate the one you can’t do without. Miracle is the model that science is forever chasing. It dreams of being like it but it will
