Permission Versus Commission


And this will we do, if God permit.—HEBREWS 6:3

There are many verbs in the Old Testament that are translated in the causative sense in the King James Version. But the original verbs are in the permissive sense. Let’s look at a few of them so you can understand what I’m saying.

In Isaiah 45:7, God said, “I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the Lord do all these things.” Does God create evil? No. If you know your Bible well enough, you know that the Bible doesn’t teach that. Well, this verse said that He does.

If God creates evil, then that would make God a devil. The Bible teaches that the devil is responsible for all that’s evil. God may permit evil, but He doesn’tcreate it. And when you understand, as Dr. Robert Young pointed out, that the verb is in the permissive sense rather than in the causative sense, you’ll see that God doesn’t cause evil. He merely permits it.

Let’s look at another verse of Scripture. Amos 3:6 says, “Shall a trumpet be blown in the city, and the people not be afraid? shall there be evil in a city, and the Lord hath not done it?” Again, if God commits evil, then He has no right whatsoever to judge man for sinning. But God does not commit evil.

You see, this verse says, “Shall there be evil in the city, and God has not done it?” Has any evil happened in the town in which you live? Has anyone killedanyone else? Has anyone robbed a store? Well, yes, of course. Did God do it? This verse said He did. But you know that can’t be right, because God didn’t do it Himself and He didn’t commission anyone to do it. He didn’t commission anyone to go out and rob a store or burn down a building. No, God does not do evil. He only permits evil. There is a vast difference between permission and commission.

Confession:
God doesn’t create evil. He only permits it. Because I have a free will, I can choose to obey God or I can choose to go against God. I choose to follow God and enjoy all of His many benefits

MMENE MUNGAKONZERE MAGANIZO ANU TSIKU NDI TSIKU

Aroma 12:2
"Ndipo musafanizidwe ndi dziko lino, koma musandulike mwa kukonzanso kwa maganizo anu, kuti muzindikire chimene chili chifuniro cha Mulungu chabwino, chovomerezeka, ndi changwiro."

M'mawa uliwonse mukadzuka, zimakhala ngati muli pankhondo.

Musanalowetse mapazi anu pansi, mawu amayamba kulankhula.

Kuda nkhawa za tsiku lomwe lili patsogolo.

Kubwerezabwereza zolakwa za dzulo.

Mantha osadziwika chifukwa chake.

Nthawi zambiri simafunsa komwe maganizo amenewa akuchokera.

Mumangowalandira ngati anu ndipo mumayamba tsiku lanu motsatira zomwe akukuuzani.

Umu ndi momwe anthu ambiri amakhalira. Si chifukwa chakuti ndi ofooka. Kungoti palibe amene anawaphunzitsa kuti malingaliro awo ndi malo a nkhondo, ndipo mawu oyamba omwe amamva m'mawa nthawi zambiri amakhala opambana.

Lero ndikufuna ndikufotokozeni izi m'njira yothandiza.

Kudziwa kuti maganizo anu amafunika kukonzedwanso ndi chinthu chimodzi, koma kuwakonza tsiku ndi tsiku ndi chinthu china.

Kukonzanso maganizo sikungokhala kuganiza zinthu zabwino zokha. Ndi kusintha yemwe amalankhula koyamba m'mawa uliwonse.

Ndiponso muyenera kudziwa kuti ndani akulankhula.

Muyenera kuyesa malingaliro anu kuti muone ngati akukuyandikitsani kwa Mulungu kapena akukuchotsani kwa Iye.

Ngati simukonzanso maganizo anu, dziko limayamba kukupangitsani kuganiza monga limafunira.

Ma social media amakuuzani zomwe muyenera kuziwona ngati zofunika, ndipo chikhalidwe cha dziko chimakufotokozerani tanthauzo la kupambana.

Mdani satenga tchuthi. Thupi lathu lachikhalidwe silitenganso tchuthi. Dziko silisiya kukakamiza malingaliro athu, choncho kukonzanso maganizo sikuyenera kuyima.

Simukonzanso maganizo kamodzi kokha n’kumaliza. Mumawakonza tsiku lililonse chifukwa nkhungu ya dziko imabwerera m'mawa uliwonse.

Kodi kukonzanso maganizo tsiku ndi tsiku kumawoneka bwanji?

N'kosavuta kuposa momwe mungaganizire.

Kumayamba musanayang'ane foni yanu.

Mawu oyamba omwe mumamva m'mawa amakhazikitsa mmene tsiku lanu lonse lidzakhalire.

Ngati mutadzuka n'kuyamba kusakatula pa foni, dziko lalankhula koyamba.

Ngati mutadzuka n'kutsegula Mawu a Mulungu, Mulungu walankhula koyamba.

Chisankho chimodzi chokha chimenechi, chomwe mumachita m'mawa uliwonse, ndi chimene chimasiyanitsa maganizo ofanana ndi dziko ndi maganizo osandulika mwa Mawu a Mulungu.

Ndinaphunzira izi movuta.

Panali nthawi yomwe ndinkawerenga Baibulo nthawi zonse, koma ndinkakhalabe wodzaza ndi nkhawa. Ndimakwiya mosavuta ndipo ndimatsogoleredwa ndi malingaliro anga.

Sindinamvetse chifukwa chake.

Mpaka nditazindikira kuti ngakhale ndinkawerenga Baibulo usiku, m'mawa ndinkalola foni yanga kulankhula koyamba.

Pofika nthawi yomwe ndimatsegula Malemba, dziko linali litandikonza kale kwa maola ambiri.

Nditasintha izi ndikupatsa Mulungu mphindi zisanu zoyambirira za tsiku langa, zinthu zinayamba kusintha.

Nkhawa zinayamba kuchepa.

Maganizo anga anayamba kukhala chete.

Malingaliro olakwika ankabwerabe, koma sanalinso ndi mphamvu yonditsogolera chifukwa ndinali nditamva kale mawu a Mulungu m'mawa umenewo.

Mawu oyamba a m'mawa nthawi zambiri amapambana nkhondo ya m'maganizo. Onetsetsani kuti ndi mawu a Mulungu.

Kodi zimenezi zimagwira ntchito bwanji?

Lingaliro limabwera:

"Sindi wokwanira."

Musakangokangana nalo kapena kuyesa kuligonjetsa ndi nzeru zanu.

Litengeni ku khoti la Mawu a Mulungu.

Kodi Mawu akunena chiyani?

"Pakuti ndi nsembe imodzi yekha Iye anawapangitsa kukhala angwiro kosatha iwo amene akuyeretsedwa."
(Ahebri 10:14)

Mawu a Mulungu akuti mwapangidwa angwiro mwa Khristu.

Mlandu wathetsedwa.

Lingaliro lina:

"Mulungu ali kutali ndi ine."

Litengeni ku khoti.

"Sindidzakusiyani konse, ndipo sindidzakutayani konse."
(Ahebri 13:5)

Mulungu sanakusiye.

Mlandu wathetsedwa.

Lingaliro lina:

"Uyenera kuyesetsa kwambiri kuti Mulungu akuvomereze."

Litengeni ku khoti.

"Pakuti muli opulumutsidwa ndi chisomo mwa chikhulupiriro; ndipo ichi sichichokera kwa inu nokha."
(Aefeso 2:8)

Chipulumutso ndi mphatso ya chisomo.

Mlandu wathetsedwa.

Amenewo ndiwo kukonzanso maganizo.

Mumayesa malingaliro anu.

Mumataya mabodza.

Kenako m'mawa wina mumadzuka n'kubwerezanso.

Pakapita nthawi zimakhala zosavuta.

Mumazindikira mabodza mofulumira.

Mumawazindikira asanamalize ngakhale kulankhula.

Simungoyankha mwachangu chifukwa cha malingaliro; mumayankha motsatira choonadi.

Sikuti mwangokhala anzeru kwambiri.

Koma chifukwa Mawu a Mulungu akhala amphamvu kuposa bodza.

Amenewo ndiwo kusandulika.

Sikuti amangosintha makhalidwe anu akunja.

Amasintha gwero la moyo wanu mpaka pansi kwambiri.

Zochita Zanu Mawa

1. Mawa m'mawa, musanakhudze foni yanu, tsegulani Mawu a Mulungu.

Ngakhale mphindi zisanu zokha.

Werengani vesi limodzi.

Lingalirani pa ilo.

Lolani Mulungu alankhule koyamba.

2. Musayesere kungoganiza zinthu zabwino.

M'malo mwake, sinthanitsani bodza ndi Mawu a Mulungu.

Khalani pa choonadi chimenecho mpaka chikhale champhamvu kuposa lingaliro limene linabwera.

PEMPHERO

Atate Mulungu,

Maganizo anga akhala akuumba ndi mawu ambiri amene sanali anu.

Dziko lalankhula koyamba m'mawa zambiri.

Mantha anga akhala akukhazikitsa momwe tsiku langa limayendera, ndipo zakale zanga zakhala zikulemba nkhani ya moyo wanga.

Lero zinthu zikusintha.

Sindifunanso kuyesa kudzithandiza ndi nzeru zanga zokha.

Ndikukupatsani Inu mawu oyamba.

Ndisanakhudze foni yanga, ndisanadandaule, ndikufuna kumva Inu.

Mawu anu alankhule koyamba.

Chimene Mawu anu akunena chikhale chapamwamba kuposa zonse zomwe malingaliro anga amandiuza.

Ndikonzereni maganizo anga tsiku ndi tsiku, Ambuye.

Osati kamodzi kokha, koma m'mawa uliwonse.

Swekani nkhungu ya dziko yomwe ikufuna kundiumba, ndipo mundiumbe ndi choonadi chanu.

M'dzina la Yesu ndikupemphera.

Amen.

HOW TO RENEW YOUR MIND DAILY…

Romans 12:2, KJV
"And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God."

Every morning you wake up, it feels like you’re in a war.

Before your feet hit the floor, the voices start.

Worry about the day ahead.

Replaying something from yesterday.

A fear you can’t explain.

Most of the time you don’t even question them.

You just accept them as yours and start your day from whatever they told you.

That’s how most people live. They’re not weak. Nobody ever taught them that their mind is a battlefield, and that the first voice of the day usually wins.

Today I want to make it practical.

Knowing your mind needs renewal and actually renewing it daily are two very different things.

Renewing your mind is not about thinking more positive thoughts. It’s about changing who speaks first every morning.

It’s also figuring out who’s speaking.

You need to test your thoughts to see if they push you closer to God or away from Him.

That’s what happens every day if you don’t renew. The world will start to mold your thinking patterns.

Social media tells you what to value and culture decides what success looks like.

The enemy doesn’t take days off. Neither does your flesh. The world never stops pressing, so your renewal can’t stop either.

You don’t renew your mind once and move on. You renew it every day because the mold resets every morning.

What does daily renewal actually look like?

It’s simpler than you think. It starts before you check your phone.

The first voice you hear each day sets the tone for the rest of it.

If you wake up and immediately scroll, the world speaks first.

If you wake up and open the Word, God speaks first.

That one decision, made every morning, is the difference between a mind being conformed and a mind being transformed.

I had to learn this the hard way. There was a season where I was in the Word regularly but still anxious. Still reactive, still run by my emotions. I couldn’t figure out why.

Until I realized I was reading the Bible at night but giving my phone the first word every morning. By the time I opened Scripture, the world had already been shaping my thinking for hours.

When I flipped it and gave God the first five minutes before anything else, things started to change. The anxiety started going away, and my thoughts got quieter. The reactive thoughts still came, but they didn’t run me anymore, because by the time they showed up, I’d already heard from God that morning.

The first voice of the day wins the war for your mind. Make sure it’s God’s.

Here’s what that looks like in real life.

A thought shows up. “You’re not enough.”

You don’t argue with it or try to out-think it. You take it to court.

What does the Word say?

“For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified.”

Hebrews 10:14 (KJV)

Perfected forever. Case dismissed.

Another thought. “God is distant.”

Take it to court.

“I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.”

Hebrews 13:5 (KJV)

Never leave. Case dismissed.

Another thought. “You need to try harder.”

Take it to court.

“For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves.”

Ephesians 2:8 (KJV)

Not of yourselves. Case dismissed.

That’s renewal. You test the thoughts, you throw out the lies, and the next morning you get up and do it again.

Over time it gets easier. You catch the lies faster. You start to recognize that voice before it even finishes the sentence. You react less and respond more.

It’s not that you got smarter. The Word just became louder than the lie.

That’s transformation. It doesn’t just clean up your behavior. It goes all the way down to the source and changes the system everything runs on.

The app was built to be a companion for your mornings, five minutes in the Word before the phone even comes on. Start there.

1. Tomorrow morning, before you touch your phone, open the Word.

Even five minutes. One verse. Read it. Sit with it. Let God speak first. The world will still be there when you’re done. But your mind will be wearing different armor when you meet it.

2. Don’t try to think more positively.

Replace the lie with Scripture, and sit with it until it’s louder than the thought you walked in with.

PRAYER:

God, my mind has been shaped by voices that were never Yours.

The world spoke first too many mornings.

My fears set the tone, my past wrote the story.

Today that changes.

I'm done trying to think my way out of it.

I'm giving You the first word instead, before I reach for the phone, before the worry sets in.

Your Word speaks first now.

What Your Word says outranks everything my mind tries to tell me.

Renew me daily, Lord.

Not just once. Every morning.

Break the mold the world keeps pressing me into, and shape me by Your truth instead.

In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
