BIBLICAL PERSPECTIVES ON GOVERNMENTS

BIBLICAL PERSPECTIVES ON GOVERNMENTS

God created the universe for His glory. He created the earth so that He can give we mankind a chance to be tested may be anyone may be worthy of His eternal glory in heaven.
Man under the guidance of God will prosper and will able to attain this set standard of God. At the cool of the day, God will come down to talk to man mouth to mouth. Both man and God walk around together on the earth to see other creatures and to administer justice to them.
God gave man the mandate to legislate over issues, execute and adjudicate them as he seems best under the governance of God.
Man began to multiply and filling the earth surface. Man live in unity and in one voice to action and to wish, any thing they say always is with to a voice and prompt action. Man began to multiply and wisdom began to multiply as well among men. Heretical ideals began to arouse when men were still men, the urge to know what is in the heaven beyond the clouds, to seeing God where He sits in the most high place. But God in His supreme wisdom makes man to develop different minds, ideals, wishes, caprices, desires and personal aggrandizements. He wants man to develop in all spheres as separate groups under different leaders and different languages but under the same Absolute Divine control of God.

Egocentric desires evolved among men. Then the questions such as who will rule? What will be the modules operands? When will there be changes? Then there arouse the need to have a time of need to express supremacy of man to man. Then fractions were formed among men who led to the creations of shapely divided ideals and migrations as lead by activists, orators and charismatic fellows among them. Empires were created, chiefdoms and kingdoms. These territories were guarded by men of security capabilities, men of creative mind develops the newly created territory with ideals while men of highly technical or canny mind form the administrative group with the most astute as leader.

Man out of his ignorance or prejudice forms laws to govern themselves. Most of these laws were the laws of God. God still rules the affairs of men. But in some other territories, the devil had inoculated the leaders with bigotry and bad laws were set up.

The laws of the kingdom which imbibed the tenets of God still exist till today modern world and peace and victory characterize there endeavors.
The kingdoms that imbibes the ideals of the devil in canniness, lies, deceits, murderers and the like vices encountered defeat and the extinctions of such kingdoms and there principles when the initiator dies. Still a few state that imbibes such ideals are bedevils with administrative difficulties geographical disasters and socio political stagnancy.

A FEW OF THE GOVERNMENTAL SYSTEM: THE BETTERGOOD, THE WORSEBAD AND THE DEADLYUGLY.

LIST OF GOVERNMENTS

ANARCHISM: Unitary system & oligarchy.

Anarchism is a system of government with the ideal of subjugating the whole of other co-inhabitants of the land. A system where by the others does not matter but are seen as mere slaves.
Examples of this system of government are Unitary and Oligarchy.

Unitary Form of government is premised on warfare and the use of brutish force. A government form that allows guns and military artilleries to control the lives of the people, and the people have no say in the affairs of there own state.

Oligarchy Form of government is premised on the rule of one with the sole power to control the affairs of the state economic and political resources. This sole man is seen as the ending of the state, as anything he says confirms the wish of the entire state men.

Principles ­- Marxism & Buddhism.

This type of government anarchy is premised on some principles. The main bases of it are Marxism and Buddhism.

Marxism is a self inclined principle which advocates the rule of the few rich and then the dictatorship of the protectorates in an atmosphere of war and rioting for a change and stability on the other hand.

Buddhism is a principle of anarchism type of government which advocates the rule of the few powerful with probably the use of some illicit powers. Having the ability to deceive the people and they (he) themselves being deceived by his own whims and caprices.


THEOCRACY: God’s Law, the Bible.

Theocracy is forms of government where by those that rule do so in the name of God the Almighty. They acclaim the right to rule from the people’s convincing mind that they were sent by God to do His will and enforce His law on the land. They proclaim peace on the land, and good government in practice.

The people might vote them into power as the right set of theologians to rule at a time. The system ensures discipline and heaven consciousness in the heart of the people.
Any recalcitrant fellow will always be punished under the law of God, as the state is being governed under the law of God.

Principle – God’s Law, the Bible.

Matt 22:36-40 "Teacher, which is the great commandment in the law?"
And he said to him, "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the great and first commandment.
And a second is like it, You shall love your neighbor as yourself.
On these two commandments depend all the law and the prophets."

The principle which theocracy as a system of government is based on is Godly- neighbouringness.


MONARCHISM- Constitutional Monarchy and Dictatorial Monarchy.

Monarchism is an ancient form of governance where by the king or the queen controls the political and economical sphere of life of the state. The King or the Queen is the most favored of the entire state to rule.
Examples are Constitutional Monarchy and Dictatorial Monarchy.

The Dictatorial Monarchy is an ancient form where by the totality of the state policies are conditioned by the perojudiatic view of the king. He determines the executive, legislative and the judicial roles from his own personal idiosyncrasies.

The Constitutional Monarchy is the modernized form of kingship rules. The powers of the monarchy is reduced and given just ceremonial functional powers. A political gladiator from a political party controls the whims and caprices of the state policies.

Principle- selfishness.

The self-centeredness of this form of government makes it odious to be an acceptable form of government. It is based on the authoritative distribution of scarce values based on the intuition of the existing monarch.

The monarch is seen as the ending of all things in the state. Whatever the monarch says counts a lot in the day to day governance of the state.
Therefore, the egocentric drive towards selfishness is always at the maximum level.
The Constitutional Monarchy can be said to be better when it is headed by a man of God that is a Priest.


ARISTOCRACY

This is the rule of the intellectuals. The rule of the so called knowledgeable, the philosopher king and the logician fellows.
This system of government belief in the rule of the best man in the state and the combination of the best thinkers.
This is to make the best out of the state scarce resources authoritative distribution and its effective allocation among the populace.

Principle- cleverness and dexterous

The principle of this system of government is known as wittiness and brainy. They rule as if they are the best men in town and the most intelligent. But this is in disguise. Most rulers rule in pretence and in the multitude of similitude counselors.

The rule has a faulty foundation which is built on falsehood and mendacity. Therefore it is not a type of government to be encouraged.



PLUTOCRACY

This is a form of government whereby the rich controls the flare of governmental activities and the control of the object of violence, defense, the means of production, distribution and authoritative allocation of national goods and services.
It is a rule of the rich, by the rich and for the rich in disguise to be ruling in the uttermost interest of the general populace.

Principle- smartness and chicly

The main principle of this form of governance is based on the fleet of ideals of

He who blows the pipe dictates the tune.
He who tunes the pipe dictates the blow.
He who pays the piper dictates the blow. And
He who pays the piper dictates the tunes.

It is not considerate of the entire state populace. But self aggrandizement and total prejudice is the order of the day.

The foundation of this form of government is faulty. The bible says in the book of Psalms 11 vs. 3 If the foundation is faulty what can the righteous do? This is not a good system of government that should be imbibed by any system or state.

DEMOCRACY: Parliamentary & Presidential system

This is the modern form of government in vogue. This is referred as the rule of the people by the people and for the people. But who are the people in question?
It is penitent to say that democracy as a system of government is an embryo of the Oligarchy, Plutocracy, Aristocracy and Anarchism and system of governments. There had emerged several forms of democracies such as Social Democracy, Liberal democracy Cultural Democracy Religion Democracy and all the sort of Junk Democracies.

Democracy exists in two major ways vis-à-vis Parliamentary & Presidential system.

Presidential form of democracy is the rule of the people by the most ‘famous’ personality in the state. He controls the whole gamut of the pains taking issue of good governance.
Although being under the control of other agencies in the state, he is seen as the engine room of the state policies, actions and reactions. He is also seen as the ending of all issues because he gives the final consent on the whole gamut of issues decided on by the other governmental arms or agencies.


Parliamentary form of democracy on the same hand with the presidential form of democracy but in a little different form and magnitude has dual heads, the prime minister and the ceremonial president. The prime minister controls the whole state resources and gives final consents to governmental policies. He is elected from the congress or the parliament of the people’s representative as the most populous party at hand and the head of the party thereof.

Principle - witty droll quaint

The principle of democracy is base on the ideology of who gets what, when and how. Politics is seen as a war fought without blood shed. The end justifies the means.
This is not a good form of government that any state should follow or encourage.


THE DIVISION OF THE SYSTEM OF GOVERNMENT INTO THE BETTER, WORSE AND THE DEADLY.

DEADLY Anarchy, Unitary, Oligarchy, Democracy, Parliamentary Democracy,





THE MESSAGE
God gave you the wisdom to trade with it for the upliftment of His name. What are you using it for? Don’t use it for the devils work, in propagating and or establishing devil’s deeds, demonic ideals or any evil thing manifestations here on earth, in your life, in your house, in your environment, in your church. The punishment is eternal condemnation in the lake of fire with the devil himself, hell fire and all that is in it and death.
Rev20:10-150 and the devil who had deceived them was thrown into the lake of fire and surphur where the beast and the false prophet were, and they will be tormented day and night for ever and ever.
Then I saw a great white throne and him who sat upon it; from his presence earth and sky fled away, and no place was found for them.
And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Also another book was opened, which is the book of life. And the dead were judged by what was written in the books, by what they had done.
And the sea gave up the dead in it, Death and Hades gave up the dead in them, and all were judged by what they had done.
Then Death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire;
And if any one's name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire. This shows that the whole world will have to stand before the judgement throne of Christ everyone giving the account of himself and of his deeds when on earth to Him. If anybody is found wanting will be cast into the lake of fire forever.

Then who can be saved from this evil engulfed world? What can one do to be accepted and justified before God after death, transfiguration or the rapture? I will like to tell you three things to know in other to be justified by God, that is to say the way out.

THE WAY OUT: THE THREE THINGS.


THE THREE THINGS.

(1)The first thing is the issue of SIN found in the book of Romans 3:23
QUE: from what you have read, how many people have sinned? RE: all
QUE: Does that include me? RE: yes
QUE: Does that include you? RE: yes (all have sinned)
(2) The second thing is the issue of DEATH (Romans 6:23)
REMARKS: Anybody working per month at the end of it is salary, per week is wages, per day is stipend. The bible says anybody working for sin at the end of it is death. This is the second thing to know so as to inherit the kingdom of God.
(3)The third thing is the issue of JUDGEMENT. Hebrew 9:27
REMARKS: This means that after death is judgement which is condemnation by God. Considering the three things, one will discover that they are not good to the spirit. Or who want to sin, died in his sins and get condemned when he gets to heaven? Nobody. Then one will tends to look for a way out.


THE WAY OUT.
Looking at this three things one will see that they are not palatable to man. Who want to SIN, DIE and be CONDEMNED? Then one will look for THE WAY OUT. This is found in the book of John 5:24
QUE: Who do you think is talking here? RE: Jesus Christ
REMARKS: He said he that hear His word and believe in Him that sent Him has everlasting life
QUE: who sent Him? RE: God.
REMARKS: In believing you have to believe that he came to this world sent by God, died for you on the cross of Calvary, resurrected the third day and he is coming back to take you and all other saints. Once you believe this the bible says you have everlasting life and you shall not come into condemnation but you have passed from death to eternal life. That is in accepting Jesus Christ as your lord and personal savior; the issues of sin, death and judgement (condemnation) had been cancelled.


THE BIG DECISION.

At this juncture you have to take THE BIG DECISION this is found in the book of Revelation3:20
QUE: who is talking here? RE: Jesus Christ.
QUE: Where is HE standing at? RE: The door
QUE: What kind of door is He knocking now? RE: The door of my heart/life
QUE: If someone is knocking the door of your house what do you think he is expecting you in side to do?
RE: To open the door.
QUE: Are you ready to open the door of your heart to Jesus Christ to come in? RE: YES
REMARKS: Thank you Jesus, praise God. The bible says there is much joy in heaven over a sinner that repent. Also if anyone be in Christ he is a new creature, behold, old things had pass away and all things has become new (2Cor 5:17).(or any other suitable verses) .

TIME TO PRAY.

It is time to pray
(1) Pray loud thanking God for saving you. You are sorry for your sins and will not go into them again. God should give you the grace to live a holy life. He should write your name in the book of life and makes you rapturable when he comes back. Thank Him for He has answered your prayers. In Jesus name you have prayed. (Amen).
(2) Repeat this prayer after me; Lord Jesus, I thank you for coming into my life so that I might have eternal life. I know that I am a sinner, please forgive me, I promise not to go back into them again. Please give me the grace to live a holy life. I believe that you came to this world sent by God, You died for my sins on the cross of Calvary and you resurrected the third day and you are coming back to take the saints and me too. Please write my name in the book of life. Thank you for you has accepted me. In Jesus Christ name I pray Amen.


** THE THREE THINGS TO DO DAILY SO AS TO GROW AND TO KEEP HIS CONFESSION.

· PRAY EVERYDAY. (1THESS 5:17)
· READ THE BIBLE DAILY (JOSHUA 1:8, 2TIM2:15)
· ATTEND A BIBLE BELIEVING CHURCH.(HEB 10:37-39)
This is a balance diet for all Christians to eat daily so as to grow. When you pray you are talking to God. When you read the bible God is talking to you. Thus you live it out in the church where believers of different faith levels meet for iron to sharpen iron.

**QUITE TIME:

Mark 1:35. A time you will wake up anytime between12am-6am to pray, study the bible, pray on your meditations and other things.(you can give him a time). Get a specific time for this everyday. You can start using 15min or more. Record your quite time readings. This will aid your consistency and commitment. Follow this format: Date/ Bible Text/ Message.

** THE THREE THINGS NOT TO DO/AVOID DAILY.

BAD FRIENDS: They will make you sin against God. Make you take holiness for levity.
BAD MUSICS/PICTURES: They will pollute your mind against God’s word and distance you from thinking about God, Heaven and judgement (Amos 6:1and5).
BAD DRESSING: They makes you to be antichrist and a seducer which is an instrument of the devil (Gal 5:19-20, Deut 22:5, Zephi 1:8).
**BAPTISM: You can arrange water baptism in your church or you can tell one of the brethren to baptize you in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit (matt28:19-20). You may decide to have a new name to mark your baptism and acceptance into God’s kingdom.
**STUDYING ASSIGNMENT: Read the books; Deuteronomy, Leviticus, Ezekiel, JOHN, 1&2 Peters, Romans, Hebrew, Jude and Revelation. Read the whole New Testament and the Old Testament as well, as of necessity and as the spirit of God directs you.
Search for three (3) things in your study.
(1) Who is Jesus Christ?
(2) What will me as a Christian should do or be doing?
(3) And what things I should not do as a Christian?

Emphasis is on the book of John because it tells you all to know about Christ Jesus and Christianity.
** NECESSITIES:

(a)Be steadfast not to fall as Hebrew 10:37 says.
(b)You can mail your address to me for some follow-up encouragements and advices; Name, Home Contact, telephone number(s) and e-mail addresses.
(c) Congratulations for your name is written in the Book of life in heaven.
(d) I will send you the ministry’s evangelism package: Pillars of God Ministries International. The manual and form of membership so that you too can become a fisher of men and not eaters of fish.
