    One of the simple rules in life seems to be that people receive in life what they are looking for.

    For example: • We know some people who are always getting into a fight or a dispute with someone, no matter where they go. Why?

    God has a lot to say about leaders, their behavior, their integrity and their resulting impact on the people they rule. The Bible is a warning and a guide concerning corrupt leaders and our response and duty when faced with the likes of such leaders.
