God's Strategy Against Chaos

December 5, 2024

Read about this class:

Bishop Benjamin began by expressing his heartfelt desire for God to open our hearts and minds. He prayed that, even in these turbulent times, God would place unexpected people in our pathways—those we might not normally minister to—so that we might extend His love to everyone around us. This call to openness is especially poignant as the nation undergoes transition, reminding us that love has the power to empower us on an entirely new level.

God’s Blueprint: Creation, Dominion, and Opportunity

Drawing from the book of Genesis, Bishop Benjamin highlighted the foundational truth that, in the beginning, God created the heavens (Shamayim) and one singular earth (Eretz). He explained that God designed creation with purpose:

  • Dominion and Rulership: Humanity was created to be God's representatives on earth—a unique mandate to rule wisely, not over one another, but to cultivate and care for the world.
  • Colonization from the Invisible: Just as God extended His reign from the invisible realm (Heaven) onto the visible, our spiritual inheritance calls us to bring forth His light into our communities.

Bishop Benjamin urged believers to claim their royal heritage as sons and daughters of God. This means embracing new ventures, seizing fresh opportunities, and not allowing the desolation of the past to dictate our future. In His words, "Let there be light" becomes a powerful declaration against the chaos that has left our society in disarray.

Overcoming Chaos with Conquering Love

The Bishop acknowledged that recent years have been marked by unprecedented challenges—loss of freedoms, societal division, and economic instability. Yet, he reminded everyone that God’s love is greater than any adversity. Even when the earth seems "without form and void," God’s command, "Let there be light," signals the birth of new possibilities:

  • New Opportunities, New Faces: We are called to seek new people, new places, and new ventures—refusing to take a four-year vacation in complacency. Instead, we must press forward with vigor.
  • Creating a New Economy: Rather than watching traditional systems crumble, believers are encouraged to build a new economy rooted in God’s principles—one where His favor and love are the true currencies.

Bishop Benjamin’s passionate message is a call to rise above division, to stand united in truth and love, and to actively participate in God’s redemptive work on earth.

Unity, Evidence, and Our Royal Inheritance

A recurring theme in the session was unity. Bishop Benjamin stressed that regardless of our differences—whether political, cultural, or even in our views on gender—we are all created in the image of God. This truth binds us together as a nation and as a family of believers. Our collective strength is evidence that God desires to restore families, protect freedoms, and manifest His love in every corner of society.

He challenged the audience to recognize that:

  • We Are the Evidence: Our lives, our unity, and our active engagement in God’s work serve as living proof that His plans for restoration are unfolding.
  • Stay Vigilant and Active: Even as some may hope for a period of peace, complacency is not an option. The enemy’s schemes continue, and we must remain alert, proactive, and united in the pursuit of righteousness.

A Call to Action for the Season

Bishop Benjamin concluded by urging all listeners to seize this season as a time for renewal and active ministry:

  • Embrace New Ventures: Now is the time to break free from past limitations and explore the new opportunities God is laying before us.
  • Live Out Our Royal Inheritance: Let us rise as kings and queens—regardless of gender—reflecting the image of God in everything we do.
  • Continue the Fight with Love: As we navigate both political and social challenges, let us engage with grace, spreading God’s love and peace to everyone, even those who oppose us.

As we celebrate the spirit of the season, may our hearts echo the eternal truth: “Let there be light.” In every new face, every new opportunity, and every act of love, God’s restoration and His boundless love are made manifest.

May we carry this message into our homes, communities, and nation—living as vibrant evidence of God's redeeming power and His everlasting light.
