Today @ Healingsprings fellowship

Our God is sovereign!

Not just in principle, but also in practice.
With the understanding that Free Will is a gift. One that can either add value to our lives and humanity at large, or diminish it. 
Today we will press on to types of evil, and how we can educate and empower our minds for better choices. 
As well as practical tips, I will be examining case studies from Scriptures with a view to demonstrate some of the impacts of good and bad choices.
We continue in the strength of our theme for 2016: Our Year of Plenty (Gen 41:46-49), as we plant seeds of prayers, prophetic declaration, and thanksgiving for 2017 (Our Year of Restoration).
We march in the light of Nahum’s assertions: 
(For the Lord is restoring the majesty of Jacob, as well as the majesty of Israel, though ravagers have ravaged them and ruined their branches.) – Nahum 2:2

Join us!

Today @ Healingsprings fellowship

Our God is sovereign! 

Not just in principle, but also in practice.
With Trump’s victory in the US., I hear christians declaring that Trump must be God’s Will, because God is sovereign.
The question then arises: If God is all knowing, all powerful, ever present, and good; why is there evil in the world?
Well, I submit to you that Trump like any leader in a democratic process is the will of the people, not necessarily God’s. 
Therefore, our leaders are portraits of the values we hold dear as a people. 
So, today I will be treating The Problem of Evil, and Free Will.  
We continue in the strength of our theme for 2016: Our Year of Plenty (Gen 41:46-49), as we plant seeds of prayers, prophetic declaration, and thanksgiving for 2017 (Our Year of Restoration).
We march in the light of Nahum’s assertions: 

(For the Lord is restoring the majesty of Jacob, as well as the majesty of Israel, though ravagers have ravaged them and ruined their branches.) – Nahum 2:2

The Problem of Evil: Sin or Injustice?

Sin moves the responsibility of evil away from us to the devil, thereby making it a spiritual problem, as such, the anecdote becomes prayers. 

However, the term injustice makes the case for a moral and ethical problem, leaving us with opportunities for reflection, with a view to change our perspective (repent if you like), thereby being at peace with God and humanity. 

The latter makes us agents and instruments of change, bringing God’s decrees into every facet of society. It makes us Good Samaritans, not priests or Levites.
