SOVEREIGN POWER - By Dick Johnson

        ROMANS 9:21 Hath not the potter power over the clay,

of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonor?

        Most believers will profess that God is omnipotent (all powerful--Revelation 1:8), omniscient (all knowing--Psalms 33:13-15), omnipresent (everywhere present--Psalms 139:7,8), and immutable (unchanging--James 1:17.) However, our walk, our worship, and our prayers often actually reveal our lack of under-standing or disbelief of these sovereign attributes of God. Some-times we behave as if God is not watching, or we worship God in a manner that glorifies us instead of Him, or we pray as if we can sway God's thinking one way or the other or even change His mind.

When God's sovereignty is examined, many believers go to great lengths to prove that God's sovereign power and will are limited, especially in the case of salvation. They conclude that our will controls our destiny because a loving God could not save some and not others by His own choosing. This attitude is rebuked in Romans 9:18-21 "Therefore hath He mercy on whom He will have mercy, and whom He wiII He hardeneth. Thou wilt say then unto me, Why doth He yet find fault" For who hath resisted His wiII? Nay but, 0 man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why has thou made me thus? Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honor, and another unto dishonor?

God is sovereign in every respect. For a proper attitude of worship, we should accept by faith the full measure of His Sovereignty, and believe without doubt that God is using His almighty power to work out His plan that He established in eternity past.

Believing Christ DIED, that’s HISTORY.
Believing Christ DIED for YOU SINS and Rose again that’s SALVATION.
