The
introduction of the Corona Virus Vaccine has not only revealed some crucial
warning signs especially for believers such as, the testing of our faith, the
defilement of our human body which is the temple of the Holy Spirit and the
jeopardy of forfeiting our position in the kingdom of God as kings and priests,
but it has also alerted us to the spiritual blindness of the leaders of this
world.
Listening
to a live discussion by two medical doctors on a television top show on the
subject of the Corona Virus Vaccine led me to perceive how spiritually blinded
the leaders of this world are, they see things only on the physical standpoint,
they are blinded to the reality, their faith and confidence is strictly based
on science, all what they can say is believe the science
But
what exactly is science? Science is, the intellectual and practical activity
encompassing the systematic study of the structure and behavior of the physical
and natural world through observation and experiment. As one can clearly see
science deals only with the physical and natural world, it knows nothing beyond
the natural and the physical especially of who is actually ruling and
controlling this present evil world we are living in.
There
is an important reason why we have been instructed and encouraged not to have
our faith in the wisdom of men, but rather having our in the power of God. It is vain and useless to have our faith in creation rather than having it in the
power of the Creator. For this is what we have been instructed saying: " For what man knows the things of
a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? Even so no one knows the
things of God except the Spirit of God.
Now we have received, not the
spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might know the
things that have been freely given to us by God. These things we also speak,
not in words which man's wisdom teaches but which the Holy Spirit teaches,
comparing spiritual things with spiritual. But the natural man does not receive
the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he
know them, because they are spiritually discerned" (1
Corinthians 2: 5, 11-14).
Please note carefully that there
is a spirit of this world that gives man worldly wisdom but this worldly wisdom
does not understand the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness
to him; nor can he know them because they are spiritual discerned. The natural
carnal mind is said to be in enmity against God; for it is not subject to the
law of God, nor indeed can be. So then, those who are in the flesh cannot
please God (Romans 8:7).
The source of science or man's wisdom
is from the prince of power of the air, the spirit who is at work in the sons
of disobedience, whose minds the god of this age has blinded, who do not
believe, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image
of God, should shine on them" (Ephesians 2:2; 2
Corinthians 4:4).
This world, in which we live, is
under the ruler ship of Satan and his demons as alluded to by the apostle Paul
who wrote: "For He has not put the world to come, of which we speak, in
subjection to angels." Signifying that, this present world is under the subjection
of angels (Hebrews 2:5)
On three occasions Jesus
confirmed that Satan is indeed the ruler of this world when He stated; "Now is the judgment of this world; now the ruler of this
world will be cast out." I will no longer talk
much with you, for the ruler of this world is coming, and he has nothing in
Me." It is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the
Helper will not come to you; but if I depart, I will send Him to you. And when
He has come, He will convict the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of
judgment: of sin, because they do not believe in
Me; of righteousness, because I go to My Father
and you see Me no more; of judgment, because the
ruler of this world is judged" (John 12:31; 14:30; 16:7-11).
We therefore are to be extremely
careful who we are giving first priority in our lives, whether it is the wisdom
of men or the power of God. And furthermore, our struggles and battles are not
against flesh and blood as we have been duly admonished saying: "For we do
not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against
powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts
of wickedness in the heavenly places" (Ephesians 6:12).
