The Most High is the Ruler

The whole country is now gripped by the revocation of Article 370 and 35A. All news and all heads now turn to Jammu and Kashmir(J&K). As a citizen of India, like it or not, I should be aware of what all these meant. In fact, a few days ago, there was news of scrapping this special status given to J&K. And it sent a warning to all settling there. The actual scrapping of this special status was done yesterday when the bill was introduced in the parliament and passed thereafter. Since then, all commotions, news, opinions, debates, on this sensitive issue engulfed the entire country. This is in the political atmosphere in the realm of the secular world, and in the country, I live in. I have no comment on neither the pros nor cons, but I do know and understand one thing: God is still on the throne.

When the news was spread and panic gripped the minds of the people there, the same message was sent to one of the WhatsApp group of which I am a member.  Though the message was posted with a burden for prayer, the tempo of the message showed signs of troubles lurking in and terror knocking at the door. immediately, I felt the need to counter such emotion with the word of God. I posted the following message:

The Most High is the Ruler 

Let us pray according to the word of God. God is in control, He rules. He knows best, and He will do what is best. Many things we don't know, much less, we understand; but one thing we do know and understand, God is still on the throne. 

No matter what, all that are happening and will be happening in our country is for the Lord to gain His divine purpose and accomplish His will on the earth, even in our country, and even through us, if we are one with Him.

Nothing to worry, nothing to panic. Let us pray for our brothers and sisters in J&K, and for His move and testimony there.

Jesus is Lord! Christ is Victor! Amen!

Daniel 4:17This matter is by the decree of the watchers, and the decision is a command of the holy ones, to the intent that he living may know that the Most High is the Ruler over the kingdom of men and gives it to whomever He wills and sets up over it the lowliest of men.

Daniel 4:25You shall be driven out from among mankind, and with the beasts of the field shall your dwelling place be; and you shall be made to eat grass as bulls do and shall be wet with the dew of heaven; and seven periods of time will pass over you, until you come to know that the Most High is the Ruler over the kingdom of men and gives it to whomever He wills.

Daniel 4:26And in that it was commanded that the stump of roots of the tree be left, your kingdom will be assured to you after you have come to know that the heavens do rule.

Daniel 4:32And from among mankind you shall be driven out, and with the beasts of the field shall your dwelling place be; you shall be made to eat grass as bulls do; and seven periods of time will pass over you, until you come to know that the Most High is the Ruler over the kingdom of men and gives it to whomever He wills.

God has sovereignly made me a citizen of India. And I can only pray for the ruler of this country as the Bible instructed me to do so. My opinion does not really count. When God allows things to happen, He knows why. Time will tell, and I will know it in time. Whatever happens, He wants to fulfill His purpose on this earth. Its a wake-up call for all, to turn to the living God. 

May God gain India for His testimony! God bless India!
