"Every leader is responsible for the people under his/her jurisdiction. It is the leaders responsibility to ensure that the basic needs of ever man, woman and child have been met - food, water, clothing and shelter.
If anybody goes without, meaning that their basic needs are not met, the leaders will be held accountable before God.
Leaders have to do whatever it takes to ensure their people are provided for: using diplomacy, relationships with more affluent nations, asking for help and assistance, removing barriers and obstacles that prevent assistance from reaching those in need. Stop making excuses and just get it done.
Leaders should establish round tables to discuss the issues, challenges and solutions. All discussions should be broadcast live on television or streamed live on the internet, giving everyone a change to comment and contribute their point of view.
Leaders must understand that their actions, or lack thereof, are transparent before God. God witnesses everything you do and everything you don't do.
As leaders in charge of others, you have an obligation, responsibility and expectation to look after those you lead, by ensuring their basic needs have been provided for.
We have now been given new standards. The old standards of self-indulgence, self-concern and self-worth have been wiped out.
The new standard is this: love your friend as yourself. Seek to benefit others instead of yourself. All people are now expected to live by this new standard.
Leaders especially, are expected to live and work by this new standard, to seek to benefit the people they lead, by making decisions and allocating budgets that are in the best interest of the people, so not a single person goes without.
We are charged to look after one another, and we have to begin to live this law, in practice.
The One True God, The Infinite God, The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob is with us and to Him we shall all return."
