THE REAL GOVERNMENT by Dr. Jesutola Adewumi

Right now in Nigeria, it seems to be all about APC and PDP (seems nobody’s talking about my candidate from KOWA party)! Anyways, that’s not what this is about. This is about the real government, not the one that we’re planning to vote in or out on February 14 (happy Val’s day in advance, by the way). This is not about a government of the people, by the people, for the people (which is a great thing), but this is about a government of God, through the people (the body of Christ), for the kingdom. Hear what God said through Isaiah, prophesying about Jesus: “the GOVERNMENT will be upon His shoulder….Prince of peace….of the increase of His GOVERNMENT and peace there will be no end….” (Isaiah 9:6&7). One day, Jesus will come back physically and rule the earth from Jerusalem, that day is not yet here. Right now, however, Satan is the god of this world (2 Corinthians 4:4, 1 John 5:19). Yet, even NOW, the rulership, dominion and kingdom of the Prince of peace on earth is effected through His body, His Church, human beings who have become one with Him (1 Corinthians 6:17, Matthew 28:18).

I was in a meeting on Friday night and the preacher said “if you are still thinking it’s all about APC & PDP, you haven’t gotten it”. That got me thinking! Make no mistakes, we DO need to go out there on February 14 and vote, we need to do all we can to see that the right leaders are sworn in on May 29, but that is not where the real government is! The bible says in Daniel 4:32 that the Most High rules in the affairs of men, now what God has done in Christ Jesus is to seat you and I with Him and give us the authority to legislate/preside in matters that relate to the earth, therefore He says in Psalm 82:6 that we are gods (the original Hebrew language says “magistrates”), we are sons of the Most High (actually, seated with the Most High in His authority). If you did not know this before, know it now! If you had forgotten, be reminded now…..

We are IN CHARGE of this nation because God put US in charge!

We are responsible for where this nation is right now and where it will be in 2019, regardless of who wins the election (Christian or Muslim, male or female, Northerner or Southerner)! We are responsible for the way things “work out” because things don’t just “work out”, PEOPLE make them “work out” through their words and actions (or inactions).

God is not going to wave His hand and fix the problems of Nigeria, it’s THE GOVERNMENT OF FAITH that will do it. This faith is first a SPEAKING faith, then a DOING faith. By the BLESSING of the upright the city is exalted, but it is overthrown or destroyed by the MOUTH of the wicked (Proverbs 11:11).
