The Idea of Managing Goes Back to the Beginning
There are so many individuals who claim to know King Jesus, but reflect very little of His characteristics in their lifestyles. They know little or nothing concerning the principles of the Kingdom of God. Most of them do not even realize that they are potential citizens of the kingdom. Certainly, they have not comprehended that the Kingdom of God has a culture of its own, laws, and a purpose for existence, just as their earthly countries and kingdoms do.
In God's Constitution, it states in Psalm May you be blessed by the Lord, Who made heaven and earth. The heaven, even the heavens, are the Lord’s; But the earth He has given to the children of men. The Lord of heaven and earth has given the earth into the hands of men and women. But what the Psalm does not state, is that humankind has not done a very good job of managing that gift. In fact, people seem to have done their best to mess it up. Of course Satan has inserted himself into the equation as well. By this time, eons after the Garden of Eden, it can be hard to tell who is most at fault. The Apostle Paul made this statement under the anointing of the Holy Spirit For we know that the whole creation groans and labors with birth pangs together until now. The whole world lurches from one crisis to another. Every since the Fall, the planet and it unmanageable population have been in a management crisis.
Remember this, Any of the individual events that we term a "crisis" stems from the underlying management crisis of the human race as we know it. God, who never gives up and whose heavenly kingdom is never in a crisis, has been working to regain the kingdom on earth every since one heart at a time.
Jesus, God's only Son, replied to His disciples on how they should pray. Our Father in heaven, Hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come. Your will be done On earth as it is in heaven.
Jesus taught them, and us, to call on His Father to restore Kingdom rule to earth to make it as it had been (briefly) in the Garden of Eden; when Adam and Eve were managing the newly established outpost of Heaven.
Your faith in God's Word causes you to be obedient.
Psalm 115:15-16 Romans 8:22 Matthew 6:9-10
