POLITICS AND GOD’S GOVERNMENT The Book of Isaiah is a story is of a people who are meant to live in hope, turning to God, waiting for God, and being surprised by God’s goodness to them. After Solomon, the kingdoms of Israel and Judah were divided. There were 20 kings of Israel in the north and not one of them did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, and of the 20 kings of Judah in the south, only eight attempted to do what was right, and King Uzziah was in the top five of these. The Bible says of him; “Uzziah set himself to seek God … and as long as he sought the Lord, God made him prosper.” (2Chronicles 26:5) Isaiah begins to speak a message of warning and encouragement after King Uzziah dies (in Isaiah chapter 5), because when the King died God’s people turned away from trusting in God. Isaiah’s constant message of turning back to having hope in God all comes to a focus in Isaiah’s words of warning for their presumptuous attitude and desire for political power and control. Isaiah 30:9 a people who lie, A people unwilling to listen to anything God tells them. They tell their spiritual leaders, "Don't bother us with irrelevancies." They tell their preachers, "Don't waste our time on spiritual impracticalities. Tell us what makes us feel better. Don't bore us with obsolete religion. That stuff means nothing to us. Quit hounding us with The Holy One of Israel." Therefore, thus says the Holy One of Israel, because of your rejecting me so that you trust in a headstrong dictator and rely on him, therefore, may this guilt be for you like a bulge in a high wall which suddenly breaks up and collapses. It shall break up like a clay vessel being smashed (That dictator was Pharaoh – worldly power) Those words were said to God's people during a time when they had become tired of waiting for God to do something, and God was waiting for them to demonstrate that they trusted him. Israel and Judah’s kings had been playing politics for generations, siding with different nations against other rival nations. At this time God’s people were putting their trust in the worldly powers of Egypt and Assyria and playing them off against one another. But none of the nations could help God’s people or provide safety for them as they were only interested in using Israel to strengthen themselves against their enemies, and Israel had taken on a political role among the nations instead of taking on their role as God's spiritual representative, his servants, to exercise his Government in the world. They had rejected his government and authority over them. They had demanded that their spiritual leaders and prophets exercised political power instead of exercising God’s Government. Isaiah 9:6 For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given; And the government will be upon His shoulders…. Of the increase of His government and peace there will be no end, The Bible says the Government will be upon his shoulders, not the politics. Government and politics are two different things. Politics is exercised by people in a state or nation, no matter what happens to be the lawfully recognized form of Government of the day – one governance, much politics, and God in the midst. Politics Comes from the Greek word Polis which means the State and its citizens. Politics describes the strategic conflict between competing power bases within the states or nations – it is mostly people power, not God power. These political agencies and influence include the political parties, the media (all kinds in that zoo), special interest groups and lobby groups. We take the politics on our shoulders, and we are all involved in some way because we are the people, the citizens, but the Government is always upon his shoulders – God is in charge of history. When we personally are under the Governance of God – The Lordship of Christ, we can bring that into the political arena, whether it is the media or lobby groups, in a God Governance way. God gives his people a voice. Romans 13:1 Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God. Psalm 75:6 For promotion comes neither from the east nor from the west nor from the south. But God is the Judge: He puts down one and sets up another. Government means the recognised management of authority and responsibility for justice, law and order, and the care and well-being of the citizens within a state or nation. We bring ourselves under the Government and authority of God’s Word. If obedience to that authority is at odds with the recognized local authority we obey God but accept the legal consequences of the local authority. as Peter and John did when they preached the gospel in Jerusalem. Act 4:18 So they called them and commanded them not to speak at all nor teach in the name of Jesus. But Peter and John answered and said to them, “Whether it is right in the sight of God to listen to you more than to God, you judge. For we cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard.” Acts 12.3. This account tells the story of Peter and James being arrested by Herod who was an agent of Roman Governance (Caesar), for preaching the Gospel. Herod put James to death, and the people applauded him, so he arrested Peter, however God needed Peter out of prison so he sent an angel to release him. James and Peter did not organise a political protest, they took the governmental consequences and we see the two ends of the spectrum of their eventual end – death for James and miraculous liberty for Peter. The Government is upon God’s shoulders. We saw the warnings of God to his people in the previous Scriptures in Isaiah 30:9 where he rebuked them for playing politics amongst the nations, and the threat of sending the Assyrians from the north to bring judgement upon them unless they gave up their independence and turned back to trusting in him. In the following verses of Isaiah 30 we see the desire of God’s heart of purpose of blessing for obedience for Israel, but a warning for disobedience; Isaiah 30:15 For thus said the Lord GOD, the Holy One of Israel “In returning and rest you shall be saved, in quietness and in trust and confidence in me shall be your strength.” But you were unwilling… 16. You've said, 'Nothing doing! We'll rush off on horseback!' And God says to you ‘You'll rush off, all right! Just not far enough! And You've said, 'We'll ride off on fast horses!' 17. And God says ‘Do you think your pursuers ride old nags? Think again: A thousand of you will scatter before one attacker. Before a mere five you'll all run off. There'll be nothing left of you—a flagpole on a hill with no flag, a signpost on a roadside with the sign torn off." But then comes the encouragement of God’s faithfulness to us. (Israel/Church) 18.' The lord waits to do good to you. He is almighty in power and is kindhearted towards you in your weakness. He is a God of true justice and right order in everything He does. If you wait for Him - with Him waiting for you - great things will happen to you as my people.' Verses 15 and 18 contain two of the clearest expressions of Isaiah’s message that God had been calling upon Israel/Judah since the days of King Uzziah. It was now turn around time… He called for a willingness on the nation's part to turn inward to its faith and to rest on God's grace and promises, but Israel were putting their trust in political power instead of in God. It would require quietness in the midst of turmoil and trust that God would control the great forces that were devastating the nations. That would be a courage or daring of a very different kind to their political strategies. The church today cannot trust in politicians to save them either, but we can trust in God to save politicians. The Bible tells us to pray for our leaders for this very reason. 1 Timothy 2:2 Pray especially for rulers and their governments to rule well so we can live godly lives, in the way our Savior God wants us to live. 4. He wants not only us but everyone saved, I mean everyone, to get to know the truth… 8. Since prayer is at the bottom of all this, what I want mostly is for men to pray—not shaking angry fists at enemies but raising holy hands to God. (Not weaponizing God’s name politically – the Third Commandment) The final blessing in verse 18 is dedicated to those who are willing to listen and who wait; Vs.18.' The lord waits to do good to you. He is almighty in power and is kindhearted towards you in your weakness. He is a God of true justice and right order in everything He does. If you wait for Him - with Him waiting for you - great things will happen to you as my people.' He repeats to them that He will do good to them. He acknowledges that He has allowed them to go through tough times of disorder, adversity and suffering, and that He has even used it all for his purposes, but that now it is time for rest and peace to come to them, and that when they cry out to Him he will hear and act. God had to wait till his people had come to that place of honestly admitting that their efforts and their wayward leaders and prophets had not brought them the freedom and safety and happiness they thought it would. They didn’t get the results they expected. This is something that we all have to learn- the hard way- That God arranges history, not us – the Government is upon his shoulders. He actually waits for us! So what is He waiting for? He's waiting for us to wait for Him! So why don't we wait? Well, just like them - we feel we can't just sit around and do nothing - we have to think of something to do. God certainly wants us to do the best that we can, and to be agents of godly change, taking on our role as God's spiritual representatives, his servants to the world. He is waiting for us as Church wherever and however it exists, to wait for him and on him, for our eyes to be opened to the opportunities that he places us in right in the midst of our day to day lives – family, friends, work, sport and recreation and the creative arts, health care and compassionate counselling, media, education, wherever he is setting us up to bring his wisdom and faith and love into any situation. His blessing and his power waits to be demonstrated. So pray for rulers and all who govern. 1
#3: Peace and Politics (A study based on Zechariah 1:7-2:12) We are called to be peacemakers, not to be hate mongers. Because that's true, we need to place politics into the right place in our hearts so that we can truly live in peace. In that effort, this study addresses politics directly. It looks at three aspects of politics: its power, the power that goes beyond it, and its point. Its goal is to bring Christ's peace to politics in such a way that it enables us to be the peacemakers Christ has called us to be. Today we are going to take politics head-on. We'll talk about the power of politics and the power beyond politics. We will do it by zeroing in on Zechariah 1:18-21. Then we will zoom out to see the entire forest and the entire section of Zechariah 1:7-2:12. We'll do some discussing; then I'll do some teaching/preaching. Then we'll come back to that power of God's rule over our daily lives and the boundaries it puts around us as his church in some closing discussion.
#1: Origins and Power (A study based on Romans 13:1-7) This study begins a study series that explores various issues related to the secular government in our country. This study lays a foundation for the rest of the series by giving a basic teaching on the similarities and differences between the Church and the State. It looks at both their origins and their power, celebrating both of these gifts to the world. It concludes with a use of the power Christ has granted to his Church on earth through the gospel.

This sermon finishes off our series on God’s government. It seeks to remind the listener of the truths we’ve covered while also answering the question of why all these reminders do matter for our lives now, putting them in the context of our baptism and our salvation given through it.
We are called Peace Church - not War Church. Because that’s true, we need to place politics into the right place in our hearts so that we can truly live in peace. In that effort, this sermon addresses politics directly. It looks at three aspects of politics: its power, the power that goes beyond it, and its point.

the prominence of those theories and the muttering around them seems to have increased. There are conspiracy theories about a one-world government, 5g and Covid-19, Soros, Gates, and even Dr. Fauci. In the last few months, there seems to have been even more talk of conspiracy. What is the Christian to do with conspiracy? This sermon explores that question, especially in light of Christ’s eternal gospel.

Symbols are a part of our society. But where words change biblical symbols remain the same. In her study of symbols, author Connie Anderson used a literal meaning of a word, unless the word is a number or symbol. Fish, for instance, is associated with the words of Jesus, who invites us to be fishers of men, not real sharks, crabs, or clown fish. Symbols anciently explained events in world history. Indicating God is revealing his plan, Anderson details the differences between how the Holy Spirit guided the world as the Berlin wall fell in Germany, the Iron Curtain was raised in Russia, and one man took on an armored tank on Tiananmen Square in China along with a vastly different outcome as Lucifer instigates bitterness and revenge on September 11, 2001. Anderson unveils the scene in Heaven, as the Heavenly courtroom is opened to view. She hopes to provide prophecy as comfort as Michael stands up to defend those whose names are in his book. You are protected by your Bridegrooms friends on 200,000,000 white horses. The Red Horse shares her faith in finding symbols that God cares and the devil destroys as she examines the laws of God and reaffirms Jesus has sent us many comforters! Available on Amazon.com

Apostle Joshua teaches us how to understand God's government. This episode is the full kesha held at Deliverance Church Ngong Road on 12th October 2018. The first 40 minutes is the preaching followed by prayers. You can pray along.
Misquoted: God's GovernmentSeparation of church and state is intended to protect both the church and the state from interference from one another. But sometimes that has led followers of Jesus to disengage from the political system altogether - abstaining from voting, serving in public office, or in any way participating in a government "of this world."So which is the right path? How ought Christians participate or not participate in government and politics?Join us this Sunday as we dig into this timely and complicated issue of the role of Christians in engaging their governments.
Speaker or Performer: Bob Petersen Date of Delivery: August 5, 2018 Recognizing God's GovernmentGod invites us to be His son or daughterAs sons and daughters, our Father tells us that we will inherit His kingdomAs any good business owner, our Father tells us the criteria for inheriting His business1 Corinthians 6:9-11 NAS 9 Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals, 10 nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, will inherit the kingdom of God. 11 Such were some of you; but you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit of our God. Galatians 5:19-22 NAS 19 Now the deeds of the flesh are evident, which are: immorality, impurity, sensuality, 20 idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, disputes, dissensions, factions, 21 envying, drunkenness, carousing, and things like these, of which I forewarn you, just as I have forewarned you, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. Unfortunately, we have the world’s system that we compare kingdom life to.In that system you can live how you want, pass a test and be positioned.God is very clear in who is in charge of His kingdom on this earthHe gives governmental authority to make decisions concerning His kingdomUnfortunately again, we have a church system formed after the world’s system to compare God’s governmental set up to.This system mixed with increased lawlessness causes God’s people to react in a way that they don’t respect or follow those who the Father is setting up in these last days.Those in charge can’t govern because of contempt, unbelief and ignorance of God’s ways.The purpose of government is:To protect its people from outside aggressorsThis is done with a militaryTo insure it’s citizens safety well beingThis is the purpose of lawsLawbreakers live by the law. Law abiders live by grace. - Bill JohnsonGod’s government does not get to impose their governmental authority over your home, business or life.Few of God’s people today see and hear in the spiritThis leaves them with their natural sightRevelation says to each of the churches, “He who has a ear let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches”The dangers of not recognizing God’s positioned people is:Usurping of authorityUsurp (dictionary) - to seize and hold (a position, office, power, etc.) by force or without legal rightAnointing is cut because of unbelief because of natural familiarityMark 6:3-6 NAS 3 Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, and brother of James and Joses and Judas and Simon? Are not His sisters here with us? And they took offense at Him. 4 Jesus said to them, A prophet is not without honor except in his hometown and among his own relatives and in his own household. 5 And He could do no miracle there except that He laid His hands on a few sick people and healed them. 6 And He wondered at their unbelief.Matthew 11:12-24 NAS12 From the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and violent men take it by force. 13 For all the prophets and the Law prophesied until John. 14 And if you are willing to accept it, John himself is Elijah who was to come. 15 He who has ears to hear, let him hear. 16 But to what shall I compare this generation? It is like children sitting in the market places, who call out to the other children, 17 and say, 'We played the flute for you, and you did not dance; we sang a dirge, and you did not mourn.' 18 For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, 'He has a demon!' 19 The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, 'Behold, a gluttonous man and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!' Yet wisdom is vindicated by her deeds. The Unrepenting Cities20 Then He began to denounce the cities in which most of His miracles were done, because they did not repent. 21 Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the miracles had occurred in Tyre and Sidon which occurred in you, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes. 22 Nevertheless I say to you, it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in the day of judgment than for you. 23 And you, Capernaum, will not be exalted to heaven, will you? You will descend to Hades; for if the miracles had occurred in Sodom which occurred in you, it would have remained to this day. 24 Nevertheless I say to you that it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment, than for you.
The Bible tells us that under the leadership of Jesus Christ, God’s government will produce a utopian paradise on Earth.
