World at War & The Christian Advocate

It is no secret that the world is on a war sled. We have been on a consistent heist of all things chaos, from coup d'états in west Africa, to government funded violence in east Africa, rounding off with constant war in Europe and Middle east. As Christians, we may ask ourselves, where is God? Is He on a business retreat? Did He leave an intern in charge? Have we been forsaken? The good news is God is present now more than ever.

THE CHRISTIAN ADVOCATE

You can easily change the war situation or chaos you or your friends are experiencing. That would have been nice right? Truth is as Christian we have been called to be more than just reactors to situations. God has called us to be faithful stewards of all that He has given to us. God, who is sovereign above all, has privileged us by granting us permission to collaborate with Him in his works. As we work for the things of God and obey His commands, we will inevitably come to contradiction with a secular government. Once this happens our immediate response should be prayer followed by obedience of God’s word and revelations to you. We as Christians should refrain from emotion driven vengeance and actions. Let us not act against authority just because. Our disobedience to authority should only occur when the authority wants us to transgress God’s commands. In this we honor God’s delegation of authority.  

“Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God.” – Romans 13:!
