#7 It’s Time to recognize it’s God’s world
The Church needs to begin laughing at everything that exalts itself against the knowledge of God. Yes, I mean laughing out loud and with conviction. Too often we do not confront stupidity or foolishness. We just sit and listen without standing up for truth and righteousness. Here is one truth that the Church needs to understand and quit thinking like the world.
You and I do not own any part or even a square foot of the earth. You cannot buy that which is not for sale and God is not selling what He owns. “The earth is the Lord’s, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.For he hath founded it upon the seas and established it upon the floods. Who shall ascend into the hill of the Lord? or who shall stand in his holy place?” Psalms 24:1-3 KJV
You might process ‘a title’ to a piece of God’s earth, but it does not belong to you. Your deed to the land is worthless except for man’s interest in collecting taxes from you. We fight over the land thinking we can process it and various groups claim the land is theirs by some historical right, but nothing is farther from the truth. It is the Lord’s land, and He gives it to whomever He wills it to. It is not about you or me, or what we think we deserve or lay claim to. History is full of stories or who claims what and why a piece of the earth belongs to whomever. What a waste of energy and an exercise in futility.
If you are exercising some man-given right to secure a title to a piece of ‘real estate’, you need to ask God what He wants you to do with His land, how it will benefit the kingdom of God, and understand that it is the meek alone who will eventually inherit the land. Psalms 37:11, “But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.”
This is the promise to all those who believe in Jesus, love Jesus, and humble themselves giving all power, glory, and ownership to God Himself.
In simple language, you own nothing. The earth is the Lord’s land and there is nothing you can do to buy it from God or destroy what God has made. It is the Lord’s!
