Who is the god of this world? Why is he god? Learn more about 2 Corinthians 4:4...






"Satan, the God of this world, has blinded the mind of those who do not believe so that they may not see the glorious light of the Good News. They don't understand this message of the glory of Christ, who is the exact likeness of God" - 2 Corinthians 4:4 

Now, you may be buzzing with this question: Who is the God of this world? Is it not God? 
Answer: Even though #God is #God and #supremeruler , this world is not...ruled by Him. Because of its sin. God cannot look at or beyond sin. So, where did I get this from? 
"The world would love you as one of its own if you belonged to it, but you are no longer part of the world. I chose you to come out of the world, so it hates you." John 15:19. If you read the rest if the chapter you will know that it is Jesus speaking. We are in the world, to save it. But we are not of it. We do not belong to it. We are not its children. We are just in it, as our bodies should be. But our spirit is different. Our spirits belong to God. Our mission is to give light to this blinded world. Satan has blinded them, so that they are running around catching what they think is something, but is just thin air. Hold on...another question: 
But God loves people, doesn't He? Why does He let them be blinded by Satan? 
Answer: 
It is because of sin. As much as He'd like to, God has to remain pure and these people have sin staining their spirit. Satan doesn't take any chances in snatching souls to fulfil his mission (SEE John 10:10) 

We let ourselves be blinded by what we want. By our worldly selves. We ignore our spiritual selves forgetting we are not of the world. We are lights of the world!

Revere Christ as Lord!

"But in your hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect." - 1 Peter 3:15. Whenever we are being trialled or tested for our faith, we should never deny it. Take the opportunity to tell them about God. Preach to them and give them the chance to hear about God. It may work, it may not. But all you know is, you accomplished your part of the mission. You've preached to them. Now it's there decision to come to Christ. Notice the Bible says do it with GENTLENESS. We don't use violence to try and preach the Gospel. We don't force people to believe in our reality. We use one of the fruit of the spirit (See Galatians 5:22 for a full list) Now you may wonder why Peter says 'with respect' when God says: "Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons:" - Acts 10:34.

Most Powerful

8 I have set the Lord always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved. (‭Psalms‬ ‭16‬:‭8‬ KJV) In this verse, David is actually having a revelation about Jesus from the Holy Ghost. Let me explain. You see- as Christians, Jesus is the one who is before us. The One we follow. He is at our right hand and protects us. And because of Him, we are not moved. The Lord is you Leader, Provider and Guide. Without him, your steps would be without guide and you would have no knowledge of the path you are taking. You would be vulnerable to Satan and he will be able to destroy you. But-thank God- he can't destroy us. Christ lives in us, the most powerful Thing ever!
