Seeing through the Eyes of GOD
“Seeing through the eyes of God” was captured in Blog #2 (https://amasterpieceofgod.com/2022/09/22/2-masterpiece-contd/).
Throughout my blog series on God’s masterpiece, I will draw reference to this frequently. The life of a human being, especially in these times, has to be seen through the eyes of God. Seriously, when we look at the evil that men do – the lies, the cheating, the killing, the corruption, the greed, the sex trafficking of women and children, the slavery, the racial hate, the raping, the abortions, the maiming, the destruction and the list of evil by human beings towards each other, it would be impossible for us to look at human beings and have any hope towards ourselves. It has to take Godly intervention for us to see people, no matter how wicked they are and still want what is best for them and not just condemn them to hell (Luke 6: 27-30).
We have to know and see through God’s lenses, because He knew all the deeds of men even before they were committed but He still sent Jesus to die for ALL so that every human being would be given the opportunity to be made whole (John 3:16). He sent Jesus, whose Blood was shed to forgive every sin that was ever committed and will ever be committed. The only way we could see humanity like that is to have the heart of God, His Spirit alive and living in us. There is just no other way.
Let us take racism for example
Let us take racism in the form of slavery, as an example. This is a sour topic but it is chosen for this time, because it has raised its ugly head, to propel an agenda that is even more evil than what brought it about in the first place.
Some African Americans have fostered an image that supports their souped – up belief that the suppression and oppression of their ancestors in slavery have resulted in their inability to thrive in the country. Blacks are featured in the lower echelon in every indicator of the nation’s progress and right – standing used by nations to describe ethnic groups. Many believe that the spirit of racism is still very prevalent and like the Caribbean intellects, many are asking for the white generations to pay back what their ancestors did to the black ancestors.
Truthfully, if we were all held accountable for the wrong done by our ancestors, we would all be still paying for the sin of Adam and Eve. That would negate the work done by Jesus. Whilst the effects of all sin are being experienced by people, because sin is still being invited by people, we are called to forgive every person and in Christ, live holy as He is holy. The enslavers of the past are no longer alive so there’s no one there to forgive but we must forgive their actions. The descendants of those, if perpetuating that spirit, need to repent and be washed in the Blood of Jesus but not be asked to monetarily give back anything.
How does anyone put a price on the years of enslavement and to whom would the ‘recompensating’ or ‘reparations’ be rewarded? Many persons that are categorized as black now, have strong white ancestry, so would they be re-categorized during the re-compensation and then re-entered into the black category after the payments are made? A simple trace could link their white ancestors to the enslaving of their black ancestors, so how would this person be compensated? If this person has inherited from his/her white ancestral line, should they take that and give to their black half? In other words, split him/herself into parts to identify something of the past that Jesus washed away with His blood. You see the messiness of this counsel? It will cause a lot of distress and strife in families and nations. Herein is fruit that is borne of evil seed and now we can see that this agenda is not of God.
This is the very intent of the devil
This is the very intent of the devil – keep people in bondage of the past. Jesus came to wash it away and make us new creatures, free from sin, shame, curse, bondage, strife. This is the solution and people have exalted themselves and their intellect to provide solutions that are as chaotic or even more so than the original problem.
As people continue to deny the Saviour, they are filling the nations with policies of folly and chaos. They wonder why the ‘sexually-aberrant’ have a high rate of suicide and they concoct research to blame the “sexually-normal” people and policies for this so that we could change the laws to make them run the world. Then crises after crises result and the intellects collect PhDs to provide a solution that worsens the problem. This is the cycle of the world. This is the plan of the devil.
LOVE is the answer!
The Church is carrying the answer!
God’s masterpiece is needed!
