People should stop referring to President Barack Obama as the “messiah.” The only messiah is the lord, Jesus Christ.

There is a lot of hope being placed on the new president. He is very articulate, eloquent and charismatic, but he is only a man. Obama will need to listen to the people of this country, and not just listen, but let the information get processed and responded to.

Communication is the key for all of us. Honesty, truthfulness and openess between Obama, the vice president, the Congress and the people of the U.S. is vital.

In order for America to get back on its feet, it will take the help of the only messiah, Jesus Christ.

I will be holding Obama and this country in prayer daily.
