  • God’s Sovereignty & Man’s Responsibility

    God’s Sovereignty & Man’s Responsibility

    God’s sovereignty goes hand-in-hand with man’s responsibility. It’s not that God is incapacitated. He desires partnership. Therefore, he leaves certain decisions to a man that has an everlasting effect. He ordains man’s actions and establishes it.

    “Now the Lord God had formed out of the ground all the wild animals and all the birds in the sky. He brought them to the man to see what he would name them; and whatever the man called each living creature, that was its name.” ‭‭Genesis‬ ‭2:19‬ ‭NIV‬

    One of such ordinances is marriage. Inasmuch as God knows the end from the beginning, no one is predestined to be your spouse. Aside from God’s Sovereignty, God allows for your choice and ordains it.

    “No longer will you be called Abram; your name will be Abraham, for I have made you a father of many nations.” ‭‭Genesis‬ ‭17:5‬ ‭NIV‬‬

    Another of such ordinances is your name. Our names aren’t just for this life. It’s forever. No one calls Abraham Abram anymore. His name was changed and established forever. The names we place on people are ordained up until another ordinance is made. A king can only change a decree by making another decree.

    Truly I tell you, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.” ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭18:18‬ ‭NIV‬‬

    What Jesus said is an ancient, old mystery; that man has a God-given partnership deal to establish everlasting decrees and have them ordained by God. Now my question is, what are you going to do with it?

  • If God Is Real, Why Does Evil Exist?

    Why does evil exist? Saying God doesn’t exist because the world isn’t perfect is like saying doctors aren’t real because diseases still exist. It’s a fallen world. Everything inclines to the negative. Put one sick person in a room with healthy people and everyone will eventually get sick. Put one good apple in a basket with bad apples and none will turn good. It is what it is!

    It’s so easy to blame God for all the evil things that happen in our world because He foreknew and did nothing about it. It is easier to blame God than to live with our own failures.

    “Some people ruin themselves by their own stupid actions and then blame the LORD.” Proverbs‬ ‭19:3‬ ‭GNB‬‬

    Why does evil exist? Evil doesn’t happen because God permits it. No thief needs permission to steal something that isn’t theirs. The enemy doesn’t ask for permission to kill, steal and destroy. He didn’t ask for permission to sow weeds among the tares.

    He doesn’t need permission, he needs submission. Submission of the human tendency to lie, be greedy, lustful, slothful, envious, wrathful and proud.

    It boils down to us. God has prevented more evil than it has ever occurred, but we’d never know or even believe. The little we could do is blame him for our mistakes and irresponsibilities, ironically.

    “But I did find this: God created people to be virtuous, but they have each turned to follow their own downward path.” ‭‭Eccl‬ ‭7:29‬ ‭NLT‬‬

    If evil exists, it’s because WE have allowed it. God will always give us a choice. Where there is no love, there’s no choice. The human will is greater than the strongest evil. It’s about time we took responsibility for our own choices and actions and fought evil with good.

  • Is Jesus The Only Way To God?

    Is Jesus The Only Way To God?

    If God wanted everyone to come to Him, why would he create a narrow path that only a few can thread on? Why won’t He make Himself more accessible?

    The problem is not God. Man failed and fell short. We broke our partnership with the divine and tried so hard to be God. We have each turned to follow our own downward path. Each time God tried to establish a way back to Himself through one man or the other, they failed Him and directed everyone to themselves.
    So guess what? God decided to do it Himself. Since through one man – Adam – man fell, it was only through another “Adam” that man could be reconciled with His Creator. So the Son of God became the Son of Man so that the sons of men will become the sons of God.

    Jesus was the only man who fully walked with God and obeyed every ordained Word of God, thereby establishing the path back to God. By reconciling everyone to Himself, He had reconciled everyone back to God, for He is God Himself.
    But hei…this is the Good News; there’s only one way to God: Jesus, but there are many ways to Jesus through the Holy Spirit.
    I love you ❤️

  • Does God Still Speak Today? Hearing God’s Voice

    Does God Still Speak Today? Hearing God’s Voice

    Does God Still Speak Today? God will continue sending you the same messages over and over again, through many mediums and experiences. Endlessly will He send you His messages, until you have received them and held them close.Does God Still Speak Today?

    Does God Still Speak Today? You cannot miss them if you truly listen. You cannot ignore them once truly heard. God can just as easily work through your imagination as anything else.

    For God may speak in one way, or in another, Yet man does not perceive it.
    Job 33:14 NKJV

    God will bring you the exact right thoughts, words or feelings, at any given moment, suited precisely to the purpose at hand, using one device, or several.Does God Still Speak Today?

    You will know these words are from Him because you, of your own accord, have never spoken to your mind so clearly.

    God is always speaking! Did you know that Jesus died on the Cross not just to forgive your sins, but ultimately to bring you into a relationship with Himself? Communication is probably the single greatest vehicle of any relationship. Although some people have a problem believing that God wants to talk to everybody, most believers understand that true prayer is not just petitioning Heaven with a list of requests, but it is communicating with our Father in Heaven as a true friend.
