WHAT EXACTLY IS GODS RESPONSIBILITY?
Jerry a very good christian brother and a strong believer was at his office one faithful day, when be got the call that his mother was seriously ill and has been rushed to the clinic.
He was completely amazed not in a good way because he didnt expect such news at that very moment. So because he wouldnt be able to make it to the hospital. He prayed and started crying in his work place begging God to please heal his mother. Few hours later, he got a call that his mother is dead. So was God responsible for his mothers death?. Is God responsible for the problems in the world?
Now in Genesis 1:26(And God said, let us make man in our image, after our likeness:) meaning man was created in the image of God. Now God gave all the dominion of earth to man but man lost that dominion to the devil in garden of eden
So satan became the God of the earth even when he was talking to Jesus in Matt 4, he boasted that he owns the earth. Then Jesus died and took all the sins of the whole world on his shoulder to the cross John 3:16( For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whosever believed in him should have everlasting life).
Jesus rose from the dead and we died with him and when he rose up from the grave he said "all hail" Matt 28:9. Philippians 2:7 But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:
Philippians 2:8 And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.
Philippians 2:9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name.
Philippians 2:10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;
Philippians 2:11 And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. Now Jesus has died and has the key of life in his hands. God has made us Joint heirs because he said in 2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
2 Corinthians 5:18 And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation.
2 Corinthians 5:19 To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.
2 Corinthians 5:20 Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God.
So now God has made us jount heirs because the bible said in 1 John 4:17 Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.
Now we have the power to make and create so because Jesus told the disciples in St. Mark 16:17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;
St. Mark 16:18 They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.
So now we have the power to cast out devils if we are in Christ and to be in Christ is very simple, he gave us what to do in Romans 10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
Romans 10:10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
So once you are in christ you have the power to raise the dead and heal the sick. So meaning God has given us all things we require to leave a healthy and glorious life.
But why do Christians still leave in Penury and Enslaved by the devil?
- Ignorance:. In Psalms 82:5 They know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are out of course.
Psalms 82:6 I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High.
Psalms 82:7 But ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes. - Wrong Information: Galatians 5:1 Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.
Most christians still believe they are under the bondage of satan and pray to God to break the yoke.
Galatians 4:3 Even so we, when we were children, were in bondage under the elements of the world:
Galatians 4:4 But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law,
Galatians 4:5 To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons.
Galatians 4:6 And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.
Galatians 4:7 Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ. - Our confession:. Our confessions determine the quality of our lives, our confessions make is or mar us.
So God is not responsible for the problems of the world and he isnt coming down to do anything. He has sent his son to die and bear our sin so once you have christ you are free. So you can change your word.
Wounderful post on this topic of the RESPONSIBILITY of God, many Christians blam God for their misfortune without trying to understand the operations of God.
Thanks for sharing......Upvoted and resteem
@abiye
Yes ofcourse we need to take our responsibilities ..
Actually we as Christian have more responsibility to God, infact God sent Jesus for the redemption of man, he has been shown more than enough responsibility by showing us love, protecting and guiding us, this time, ours is the responsibility of thanking and praising him
God has given us all the power we need to succeed. We can do all things through Christ who strengthens us. Sending his son to die for us is the greatest and ultimate sacrifice to redeem us of our sins.
This post explain a lot about God's responsibility.
I support you too on this one, God has send his son and he is all what we need (our Lord Jesus christ), we must take Him as our Lord and Savior, so that we can be free from all bondage and sin
God's responsibility was just to give his son away for him to give us that liberty away from bondage. Let us endeavour to appreciate his son's pledge on the cross. Nice post brotherly
God has given us the choice to choose what hapoens ro us because he gave us dominion over all thing s of the earth and also gave us the holy spirit ,he have already done all he owe us .
Mark 16:17 has always been an inspiration to my faith to push harder.
It says:
Am always pushing to see those signs in my life.
However, you need the knowledge of the word for you to be a doer of the word:
Thanks; steem on...
God is holy and there is no ounce of unholiness in him. Every misfortune is of the devil because he is the king of mischief.
This part interest me so much"So God is not responsible for the problems of the world and he isnt coming down to do anything. He has sent his son to die and bear our sin so once you have christ you are free. So you can change your word"
