Beyond Political Rule



We are not called to talk about world governments, neither are we sent into the world to criticize them; we are never human right activists to defend the oppressed found under a dictatorship or tyranny.

God’s people are able to fit into every system of world governments because of the divine disposition they live and operate under. When we strictly observe and do what we are instructed, the world will surely look up to us in Jesus' Name...  

Daniel, one of the Jewish youth, once found under a Babylonian rule that enslaved them. He is a typical illustration of what God’s people should stand for under all circumstances. 

When Daniel's attention was sought for to participate in the government he was subject under by ordinary human arrangement (Dan 1:8); being sensitive to the rule of God over his life, he stood his ground.

Even if this position was to send Daniel into the lions’ den (Dan 2:16); he never compromised his faith in the God his life was obedient to and dependent on; and finally, his distinguished status drew the regime of his time to God Almighty (Dan 2:25-28).
