One of the most erroneous teachings taught in the churches is that ‘GOD IS IN CONTROL.’
However, in contrast, God has given us His power, His blessing, His authority to rule in this world!
Genesis 1:27-28, “So God created man in His own image; in the image of God, He created him; male and female He created them. Then God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth.” NKJV
Even though God is supreme and All Powerful, there are other powers at work in this world.
1 John 3:8, He who sins is of the devil, for the devil has sinned from the beginning. For this purpose, the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil.” NKJV
God has given human beings free will to make choices and ability to reason. He is not forcing anyone to obey Him. The Creator of the Universe is allowing us to choose!
The Lord tells us, pray that His will be done as in Matthew 6:9-13. There is the Father’s will, and a will that is not His.
Isaiah 1:19, “If you are willing and obedient, you shall eat the good of the land.” But if you refuse and rebel… NKJV.
The Bible speaks of people with testimony’s, some who obeyed, others who did not and the rewards and outcomes of their decisions. These are guidelines and lessons for us today!
If God controlled everything, there would be no need of prayer, seeking Him, asking, faith! Everything would be automatically done for us!
From Adam and Eve, everyone has to stand before God to give account of the deeds, choices we make in our life! The good news is, the righteous are not condemned.
Yes, God is Supreme, but He made us to reign as sons and daughters in this world!
While we are laying it all in the hands of God to do, God is telling us, “I’ve given you the authority!”
