MAY BE GOD IS A DICTATOR?


"Thus say the Lord..." as repeated in the bible many times has been a point of argument for many baby Christians and even atheist. Some of the questions they ask would be:

Why must God always talk all the time?
Does He care about our own choices or just forces things on His so called children?
Why must prosperity be tied to serving God, a dictator?

Yes, He is a dictator. A good dictator. Who is then a dictator?

“A person exercising absolute authority, especially a person who, without having any claim through inheritance or free popular election, seizes control of a government"

God is all that this definition beholds true.

1. He excercises absolute authority. He is not expecting everyone to be obedient, but His children alone, those He has called forth out of darkness into His marvelous light.

2. He does not have any claim to His throne through inheritance or popular election. He didn't need our votes and ballot boxes to have made the Heavens and the Earth and never will He need your opinion to make things the way He wants. He created all things.

3. He does not need to sieze control of government because He formed all things, He spoke them into existence and the government is upon His shoulders Isaiah 9:6 .God made the world presidents, He install kings and made kingdoms all over the world that have existed - from Mesopotamia to Greece, Rome to Europe, the Americas, Carribean Islands, Pacific, Middle East and what have you. See Col 1:16-20 for reference.


God loves authority and dethrones competiton. He is selfless and wants obedient children only. These same children He loves and have given them power over other lower powers of darkness. He also made them kings and queens, decorating them as gods, sons of the Most High.


I am glad to let you know that God is not a dictator, He is a father who entrusted you to your earthly father and mother. He made them to be head over you. And no father, especially our earthly fathers would want a rebellious child. Even our earthly fathers rule the home with authority and wants you to honour them always. God wants the same.

Don't see obedience and principle as autocracy and dictatorship


The Book of Matthew 21:12-14 New International Version (NIV) records Jesus at the Temple where He chased defaulting rebels away from His father's house. This is the impeccable Son of God. Why did He get angry? Getting angry to the extent of turning tables. Can you picture that? When last did you turn a table upside down?

Ref: Jesus entered the temple courts and drove out all who were buying and selling there. He overturned the tables of the money changers and the benches of those selling doves. “It is written,” he said to them, “‘My house will be called a house of prayer,’ but you are making it ‘a den of robbers.’ ”

Those who think God is a dicator do not live according to the standards and principles of Christ. They tend to be worldly and deny biblical separation. We are not entirely perfect by by His will we can reach perfection. God wants and requires our total obedience. See Deuteronomy 28:47-48



Benefits a dictator will never give you:

1. Blessings - He will continue to be God in your life and every other thing concerning you

2. Protection

3. Supremacy in your life
Malachi 3:6
“For I the LORD do not change; therefore you, O children of Jacob, are not consumed.

Isiah 45:5-7

I am the LORD, and there is none else, there is no God beside me: I girded thee, though thou hast not known me:

That they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is none beside me. I am the LORD, and there is none else.

I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.

3. Dominion and Settlement


God is not a dictator. He is a loving father who requires the total submission of His children to His Word, His Son, Jesus and dwelling through our inward witness with His Holy Spirit. Jesus cares about your choices, just let Him know.

God loves you and bless you.
