Aloha friend!
Long time …
I trust God's been good to you and your loved ones.
Back in Jan, Rosa talked about the 3 Cs i.e. commitment, consistence and change. You will agree with me, that 2011 will go down as the year of radical changes (revolutions)!
Change is hitting the Arab world with a vengeance!
It is common knowledge that, manifestations in the macrocosm (what is seen in the known world) are determined by movements in the spiritual. What conclusions can we draw from what's happening in the world right now? Is God communicatiing? How should we respond in times like this?
One verse comes to mind Mathew 6 verse 33. Jesus, after addressing His audience on the attitude to adopt towards worrying about needs, concludes by instructing them that if they(we) should seek God’s Kingdom and His righteousness first, everything else will fall in line!
This became even clearer to me last night as we shared and mediated on the subject of authority during our family time. Authority determines direction. At every given point or time, we are governed by different levels of authority i.e. spiritual and physical. Whereas physical authority is limited to the physical senses, spiritual on the other hand, transcends and influences what we see, experience and touch.
The claim is that if/when we seek God’s Kingdom and righteousness, His dominion and authority will therefore establish in our sphere (home, job, school, nation, neighborhood etc) , leading to the success we seek.
The reverse is true in that, if we do not seek to establish God’s Kingdom and righteousness in our sphere of influence, the prevailing spiritual influence will rule (have dominion) and affect us negatively. Ignorance is not an excuse. In simple terms, you may be hard working, nice and a good person, but the spiritual domain in which you live and operate is hostile and working negatively towards you, because you have not sought to make God ruler over that domain. Your effort will yield little and you’ll feel like always working but never reaching your objectives.
Arise and take charge.
It all starts with us acknowledging that Jesus came as a man and died for our sins. When we give Him control over our lives, we’re at the starting point of seeking His Kingdom and Righteousness. Do it for yourself, your family and your nation.
Be blessed as you keep the main thing the main thing: God’s kingdom and His Righteousness.
Invest wisely.
