Sovereign 1

God is sovereign which means “The Ultimate Authority which no other power or being can overrule.” No other power or being can overrule God! But some people believe that everything that happens inour lives is controlled by God. They will even say that every tragedy, every sickness, every mountain we face is God’s will. This is not what the Bible teaches.If we believe that God controls everything that happens, then why pray? That’s exactly what the devil wants Christians to do; not pray! Jesus said in Luke 10:19, “Look, I have given you authority over all the power of the enemy…”. Naturally, the devil doesn’t want you to believe that, let alone practice it. James 4:7 teaches, “So humble yourselves before God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.” The Amplified edition says it this way, “So submit to [the authority of] God. Resist the devil [stand firm against him] and he will flee from you.” There are things we are to submit to: things that are from God. We submit to the Word of God, the works of God. But we resist the words of the devil. We resist the works of the devil. God is not controlling the devil, otherwise we would not have to resist him. How do we know what’s the devil and what’s God?
