Have you ever thought about why people fear losing control? Control is truly rooted in fear, for if you were not afraid of something you would not need to control anyone. Why are those who are in control so afraid of losing control? Because they are afraid the new leader will do to them what they have been doing to others under their leadership. Think about it, people are so afraid of being controlled because the people who have been in leadership over them have not been adding value to them.

Every four to eight years in the United States we get a new President. In other countries like Nigeria, they alternate between a President that is Christian and a President that is Muslim, every election. The challenge is, whether they are Democrat or Republican; Muslim or Christian; the way they lead does not add value to the people they are leading, so people fear losing control because they do not want to be controlled the way they control others, so they want to remain in control. It is truly a sick system, but the system is not going to change, so you have to come out of that system of control to be free.

The reason people fear the righteous in power, is because they fear they will impose on the people things the people do not want. But the Bible says, when the righteous are in power the city rejoices. Biblically there is not Republican and Democrat, Muslim or Christian, their is only the righteous and the wicked. If you want to know which you really are, read the book of Proverbs and listen to what each does. The demarcation is obvious. What God is doing is not political, it is not about a party, it is about coming out of one kingdom and coming into another one.

The kingdom of Babylon is a kingdom of control, oppression, depression, fear, judgment, anger, violence, division and confusion. The kingdom of God is simple, it is righteousness, peace and joy; it is a culture of honor and the only law is love. The kingdom of God is for children, but the kingdom is its own culture, it is not African, American, Australian, Asian, or European. If you want to come out of Babylon and into the kingdom of God, you must be willing to take on a whole new culture, a culture that is not controlling, it is a culture of freedom, for whom the Son sets free is free indeed.
