Who Is Ruling The Governmental System?

Who Is Ruling The Governmental System?

I find it rather interesting whenever Christian leaders talk/preach about placing our trust in the local gahmen, for they believe that every decision is made for our good.

Because it's not Bible.

The Word does not teach you to trust in princes (Psalm 146). There is no command from God to trust in them. We are only told to pray for them (1 Tim 2:2).

And you were dead in the trespasses and sins in which you once walked, 𝐟𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐨𝐰𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐝, 𝐟𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐨𝐰𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐚𝐢𝐫, the spirit that is now at work in the sons of disobedience... - Ephesians 2:1-2

The chief prince who is ruling the course of this world and the governmental system is the prince of the power of the air. There are many Scriptures that talk about it.

But none talks about trusting in them.

If we don't speak Bible from the pulpit, then it is mere human opinion that has no authority, no matter how mega your church is. It is presumptuous to call the sheep to trust the princes when our trust should be the Father.

The Under-shepherds will account for the instructions given to the sheep. For with great influence comes great responsibility.

Difference Between Praying and Hinting

Difference Between Praying and Hinting

Few days back, my son shared that he wanted something. I said, "It is not good (nor wise) for you to have it. So we won't be buying it for you.'

I added, "If you really want it, you ask Jesus on your own."

He proceeded to do it.

Earlier today, he said to me, "I feel that what I asked Jesus is going to come soon."

So I took this opportunity to teach him a principle, saying, "When you ask God to bless you with something, you do not tell anyone else. Otherwise, you are hinting others to get it for you and it is not from God."

I continued, "Neither do you tell anyone that you are praying to God for something, because that's not prayer. That's hinting. And it's not from God even if somebody blesses you with it."

"If you pray, you need to trust Him, and there is no need to tell others."

He nodded and asked, "But can I tell you and Mum?"

"Yes of course!"

There is enough of 'hinting prayers' in the Christian communities and even on the social media by Christians. For goodness' sake, this cow must be killed.
