An Election Year

 

2 Peter 1: 10

Across the global 2020 elections loom from Africa to Oceania and from Europe to the Americas with over more than one hundred nations set to send their citizens to elect a new government to the most high ranking post in their country. Yet a deadly virus (Covid19) has in many regions affected the election process as was the norm causing governments to delay or suspend elections however for the most part many have gone ahead to allow the people to exercise their franchise (vote). In a time where the central focus of the general populace seems to be focused on the Covid19 situation, the governments around the world have taken the stance that its important for the processes of government to continue. With regards to holding elections amidst the threat of a deadly virus, you may say is putting the life of electors in jeopardy, what it comes down to is choice. Its good that we look to the idea that no one can/should force the hand of an elector to go out and vote.  So the decision of putting one's safety at risk to exercise one's franchise comes down to individual liberty. 


So it is as well in the Biblical context as the Apostle Peter makes it clear that you should "make your calling an election sure because if you do these things you have not fail"   (2 Peter 1: 10) The essence of this message is that no matter what is happening around you eternal life or death comes down to your own decisions/choices. Success or failure in this life will come down to your own will. So whatever you desire in this life you have to want it enough to make it happen because it will not just fall out of the sky into your lap. Get up and go for what you want in life. Today you should choose to vote for your success and move toward that end.

Land Sharks

Romans 5: 1-5/2 Timothy 4: 6-8   For many persons, the land is as dangerous as the sea because of the many sharks which traverse the territorial areas that is called life. No one can escape them even though they may try because the truth of it encounters with sharks help to add substance to one’s experiences. Life is designed so that sharks are an ever-present danger to test your faith. The Apostle Paul in his writings to Rome opines that tribulation (sharks) leads to patience and patience, experience; experience, hope (Romans 8: 4-3).   Land Sharks appear in many different forms such as people, places and things yet even so we have to push through because we have a resilient nature which lies at our very core, we want to survive; we need to survive. It’s as Charles Darwin puts it that we will adapt rather than choosing to simply no longer exist.  Not all sharks can be conquered or avoided but that does not mean that you will be destroyed because when the great sa...
