The Absolute Power of God

UV 420/10,000 Psalms 66 v 7 The absolute power of God Psa 66:7 He ruleth by his power for ever; his eyes behold the nations: let not the rebellious exalt themselves. The Lord rules human history with His unseen hand. The rise and fall of civilizations are determined by him. Once in a time of prayer, He asked, “ who is the most powerful person on the earth? Is it not the President of the USA. Am I not more powerful than him?” His eyes survey every nation and He sifts and sorts both individuals and families as well as nations. The power of the US President is highly limited by constitutional checks and balances and confined to a four year term but the Lord’s power does not know either geographical or time limits. There is no one like Him, none like Him in all the earth or the universe. He is greater, stronger and higher than any other. His power is awesome and unlimited. When we stand in the gap and pray for different nations, the Lord in His sovereign power intervenes in that nation, touches lives and wins many souls. He will also deal with the proud and rebellious. His judgements are swift, certain and just. Nebuchadnazzer the mighty king acknowledged the awesome power of the God of Daniel. The power of God is not a mere philosophical postulate but a real- time phenomenon as the ancient Egyptian Pharaoh and his army discovered as they drowned in the Red Sea while pursuing the hapless Israelites. Yesterday, the Lord revealed to me that the Israelites being freed from Egyptian rule was the first non violent freedom movement in history that He himself led. Our lives too must manifest the power of God. People should see the events of our lives and acknowledge that it is the supernatural power of God that sustains us. Recently, a senior officer in Government called me and asked me about my career. He acknowledged that it was the supernatural power of God that sustained me. The odds against us might often be huge but it is all insignificant when confronted with the power of the Lord. Prateep V Philip
