It is evident that we live in a much divided
country and an even more divided world.
I observe in my daily contact with people and
in my conversations with many of them.
That most want unity and peace I am convinced
that most Americans on every side want to see a United States of America again.
Most people of the world would love to see a united world.
This is why we have heard so much talk about
a one world order in the last few years by world leaders including some of our
U.S. Presidents and others who have
mentioned world order in their speeches.
Unity is indeed a good idea but it can never
happen by the leadership of men world governments can never bring true unity
and peace among its citizens.
Why? Because most of the people want these
things to happen by leaving the God of love out of their lives they want to
have peace by turning away from the prince of peace the Lord Jesus Christ.
There cannot be unity and peace in a world
dominated with evil and sin true and lasting unity and peace only comes with a
relationship with the Almighty Father of love and His only begotten Son our
Lord and savior Jesus Christ.
The idea of world order has been in the
hearts of men since Adam and Eve were thrown out of the Garden of Eden because
of their disobedience to the will of God and their sin against one another.
They chose by their act of sin to leave the
garden paradise of unity and the peace prepared for them by God and surrender
their lives to live in a harsh cruel world dominated by Satan and the fallen
angels.
The Bible tells us that Satan is the god of
this world he is a liar a thief a murderer a god without love or compassion a
god of confusion and division. Satan’s purpose is not to bring unity and peace
but rather hate division and destruction. He is the destroyer god.
World order was tried at the tower of Babel
when they all spoke the same language their minds and hearts thought to devise
all manner of evil their one desire was to build a tower into the sky that
reached heaven where God is.
Needless to say their attempts failed to get
them into heaven they were trying to reach the most holy place in the universe
without the sanction and help of God they wanted no part of God but they wanted
to climb into His paradise contrary to His will.
When God saw the evil they as a united people
were seeking to do He struck them with different languages so they could no
longer communicate their evil thoughts with one another and scattered them throughout
the world setting their boundaries and dividing them into individual nations.
Other men and dictator governments throughout
the generations have sought to bring one world order and failed in their own
destruction.
You see there will never be world order until
the world is under Gods order if we are to have world order it must be one
world under God. If we are ever to have world peace we will have to have the
peace of Gods Son dwelling in and emanating from our own hearts.
If America will have unity and peace it will
have to return to one nation under God our citizens will have to be ruled by
the peace of God that passes all understanding.
In order to have world order and lasting
peace around the world we will have to surrender to government of God and be led
by the Lord Jesus Christ the prince of peace.
There is only one way to become one people in
America or in the world and that is to be born again of the Holy Spirit of Almighty
God into the kingdom of God governed by the Son of God.
Isaiah
9:6 (NIV)
For to us a child is born,to us a son is
given,and the government will be on his shoulders.And he will be calledWonderful
Counselor, Mighty God,Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
Genesis
11 (NIV)
11 Now the whole world had one language and a
common speech. 2 As people moved eastward, they found a plain in
Shinar and settled there.
3 They said to each other,
“Come, let’s make bricks and bake them thoroughly.” They used brick instead of
stone, and tar for mortar. 4 Then they said, “Come, let us build
ourselves a city, with a tower that reaches to the heavens, so that we may make
a name for ourselves; otherwise we will be scattered over the face of the whole
earth.”
5 But the Lord came down to see the city and the
tower the people were building. 6 The Lord said, “If as one people speaking the same language they
have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for
them. 7 Come, let us go down and confuse their language so they will
not understand each other.”
8 So the Lord scattered them from there over all
the earth, and they stopped building the city. 9 That is why it was
called Babel because there the Lord
confused the language of the whole world. From there the Lord scattered them over the face of the
whole earth.
Galatians 3:26-28
Vs 26 For you are all sons of God
through faith in Christ Jesus. Vs 27 For as many of you as were baptized into
Christ have put on Christ. Vs 28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is
neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus.
Ephesians 4:3-6
Vs 3 Endeavoring to keep the unity
of the Spirit in the bond of peace. Vs 4 There is one body and one Spirit, just
as you were called in one hope of your calling; Vs 5 one Lord, one faith, one
baptism; Vs 6 one God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and
in you all.
John 17:20-26
Vs 20 I do not
pray for these alone, but also for those who will believe in Me through theirword;
vs 21 that they all may be one,
as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You; that they also may be one in Us, that the world may believe
that You sent Me. Vs 22 And the glory which You gave Me I have given them, that they may be one just as We are one:
Vs 23 I in them, and You in Me, that they may be made perfect in one, and that
the world may know that You have sent Me, and have loved them as You have loved
Me. Vs 24 Father, I desire that they also whom You gave Me may be with Me where
I am, that they may behold My glory which You have given Me; for You loved Me
before the foundation of the world. Vs 25 O righteous Father! The world has not
known You, but I have known You; and these have known that You sent Me. Vs 26
And I have declared to them Your name, and will declare it, that the love with
which You loved Me may be in them, and I in them.
Men have always sought to create world order
but have always failed because they want to do it without God. They want world
peace without Jesus.
