God of Providence

Opinion news

             In today opinion news I will put forward about God of providence, you will hear people most of the times saying, why is so much poverty in the world, now in part of Africa you hear this why are we so poor and poverty is like part of African life. Now let see it this way, a Christian believer must believe that God is, here the most important way, because God is not was faith deal with the present not yesterday and when he believe God is and that he not only created the universe, but that he upholds and sustains the heavens and the earth by his power and decrees. which bring me to say providentially, God deals with and influences the affairs of men and nations. He rules the laws of nature and supplies daily bread according to his will, in theology proper it mean He is in control. 

              Let try to give you the meaning of the word PROVIDENCE, there is many however I love this one, PROVIDENCE OF GOD etymologically the word means foreseeing. from this point of view, it means that God foresees, makes plans, and provides for the future. the best example is at creation men was created after everything was already made ready for him by God, there is no better picture than this. When you look this example in my humble opinion African have no reason to cry poverty because God has provide Africa with all. In a theological sense, it applies to the activities of God that he exerts in the universe and upon his creatures in bringing to pass his original purpose in the creation. although evil has entered the universe, and in the a certain respect is a thorn in the side of God, yet God will not allow the powerful force of evil to thwart  or defeat the fulfillment of his original wise and holy purpose.

             What is the existence of evil, since God is the omnipotent one who eternally possesses almighty power, and since evil is so devastating and diametrically opposed to God's holy nature, then what is the answer to this riddle of evil in the universe? This indeed is a hard question. Has evil always been in the universe? if not, how did it come to be? if it had an origin, was God in any degree responsible for its origin? if God were responsible for the origin and implementation of evil, then he would be a contradiction unto himself and would thus be both a devil and a God in one divine good and evil personality, which is impossible. and such an answer is blasphemy and impossible. I can say this entire opinion could be spent in an attempt to answer this issue. Let me just put it like this God created the heavens and the earth, and also created rational beings who were morally free to do their own thinking and making their own decisions, this is known as free moral agency. within this freedom, God created both angels and men. blame cannot be placed upon God for his creating these rational beings with such inherent freedom. therefore God did not produce evil as some material object that one may choose, the evil was the choice itself, the decision to obey or disobey God's moral law; thus evil was inherent within the free rational being and not in God. I can go on and on what I can say is blaming God for our short coming he does not a ground and African blaming God for their poverty he does not have ground it is their choice.

           Law and order as practiced by the government of the world is a demonstration of God's providence in protecting society from the beastiality of the society, that is Apostle Paul tells us that the sword is not established in vain, it is God's power operating in the preservation of the good. therefore choosing a good leader is of paramount for any society if not do not blame God. God he providentially supplies our needs the bible have plenty of example in this issue, example Joseph in Egypt the need of Israel was cover. let all acknowledge God providence in our life and say thank you.

             God bless you all.
