A Transition Of Power

 

"But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light; who once were not a people but are now the people of God, who had not obtained mercy but now have obtained mercy." (1 Peter 2:9-10) 

This Wednesday, January 20, 2021, is the presidential inauguration day. A day when there will be a transition of power. A change of executive position and power. 

 The apostle Paul agrees with Peter, when he wrote to the Christians at Colossae, that "He (God) has delivered us from the power of darkness, and conveyed us into the kingdom of the Son of His love." 
(Colossians 1:13) 

 The world is under the domination of Satan. It is influenced, and manipulated by him. He is an enemy of God, and He tries to grip people, and keep them from having a relationship with Him. The question comes: Where are you in regards to your position with either Satan, or Jesus Christ. 

There is no middle ground. Jesus said: “No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon." (Matthew 6:24) 

Today as we look at our society, and at the church. A choice must be made, in regards to who we will submit to, to find peace, and fulfillment in our lives. Satan and the world promise it, but cannot deliver. All we have to do, is look at the mess our nation is in right now. Such division, and destruction. Is this what we want? I would say NOT! 

Do you think that Satan wants us to have unity, peace. He loves it when he sees us fight, and destroy one another. That's what his kingdom is all about. It's time for us to submit to a transition of power. 

So many souls are in need of a Savior! Guess what, we have one:
We must turn to the Lord Jesus Christ, and place ourselves under His power, and be apart of His Kingdom. Only then will we find the blessings that God wants us all to have! Not only as individuals, but as communities, that make up this wonderful nation. 

Let us place ourselves under the reign of Jesus Christ, and let Him care for us, and bless us, as only He knows how to do!! GP
