Co-Ruler of God

2 July 2007 – Co-Ruler of God

Psalm 115:16-18

The heavens belong to the Lord,
but he has given the earth to all humanity.
The dead cannot sing praises to the Lord,
for they have gone into the silence of the grave.
But we can praise the Lord
both now and forever!

It has been a long time since I read the excerpt of Psalm in my devotion, today I am pleased to have an opportunity to share with you guys about my after-reading article.

These verses enable me to commemorate about the word of God when He first created the world, in the Genesis. God has created everything and called that good and very good! After that, He has given the human a Cultural Mandate that we should take authority of this earth, God let human to subdue the earth, God make us as his co-ruler!

What is significant about this? It comes with the significance when the Christians in most of the places are rejecting the world, having an opinion that the world is under the authority of the devil, so the holy people will not mingle with the dark world! Let them go to hell, and we enjoy in heaven!

What a selfish attitude!! It is ridiculous to say that! Couple of days before I gave a sharing about “Condemner to Conversionist”, this is the elaboration of that article. We convert the earth instead of condemn the earth, so many manifestation about “Repent or Perish”, “Believe or Burn in Hell”, etc. Nah, they are pointless and even lead others to wrong paths about Christianity! We are not here to condemn the earth, as Jesus said, we are in the world but not of the world, so we have to be the salt and the light of the earth, we elaborated that if the salt has loses its flavour, what more is its use but to be thrown out and trampled by men! Have you noticed the significance of our attitude?

Again, I emphasize, attitude is important!! It is not that I am long-winded, but I really want all of you to understand the importance of attitude, and the effect brought by different attitude!
