listen to Jesus speak on the Family of God under Mankind Government
4. SOVEREIGNTY -- DIVINE AND HUMAN
134:4.1 The brotherhood of men is founded on the fatherhood of God. The family of God is derived from the love of God -- God is love. God the Father divinely loves his children, all of them.
134:4.2 The kingdom of heaven, the divine government, is founded on the fact of divine sovereignty -- God is spirit. Since God is spirit, this kingdom is spiritual. The kingdom of heaven is neither material nor merely intellectual; it is a spiritual relationship between God and man.
134:4.3 If different religions recognize the spirit sovereignty of God the Father, then will all such religions remain at peace. Only when one religion assumes that it is in some way superior to all others, and that it possesses exclusive authority over other religions, will such a religion presume to be intolerant of other religions or dare to persecute other religious believers.
134:4.4 Religious peace -- brotherhood -- can never exist unless all religions are willing to completely divest themselves of all ecclesiastical authority and fully surrender all concept of spiritual sovereignty. God alone is spirit sovereign.
134:4.5 You cannot have equality among religions (religious liberty) without having religious wars unless all religions consent to the transfer of all religious sovereignty to some superhuman level, to God himself.
134:4.6 The kingdom of heaven in the hearts of men will create religious unity (not necessarily uniformity) because any and all religious groups composed of such religious believers will be free from all notions of ecclesiastical authority -- religious sovereignty.
134:4.7 God is spirit, and God gives a fragment of his spirit self to dwell in the heart of man. Spiritually, all men are equal. The kingdom of heaven is free from castes, classes, social levels, and economic groups. You are all brethren.
134:4.8 But the moment you lose sight of the spirit sovereignty of God the Father, some one religion will begin to assert its superiority over other religions; and then, instead of peace on earth and good will among men, there will start dissensions, recriminations, even religious wars, at least wars among religionists.
134:4.9 Freewill beings who regard themselves as equals, unless they mutually acknowledge themselves as subject to some supersovereignty, some authority over and above themselves, sooner or later are tempted to try out their ability to gain power and authority over other persons and groups. The concept of equality never brings peace except in the mutual recognition of some overcontrolling influence of supersovereignty.
Uganda Constitution - Creating Politics With Principles
1. Empowerment:** Understanding the constitution empowers individuals. It provides a clear understanding of our rights and responsibilities, allowing us to actively participate in civic life, make informed decisions, and engage in meaningful discourse.
2. Protecting Rights:** The constitution serves as a safeguard for our fundamental rights and freedoms. By understanding its provisions, we are better equipped to protect ourselves and our communities from potential abuses of power.
3. Informed Citizenship:** An informed citizenry is the backbone of a healthy democracy. Knowledge of the constitution enhances our ability to make sound judgments about political issues, policies, and the actions of our elected representatives.
4. Legal Literacy:** Understanding the constitution contributes to legal literacy. It allows us to navigate legal processes, advocate for our rights, and ensures fair treatment under the law.
5. Civic Engagement:** A deep understanding of the constitution encourages active civic engagement. Whether it's voting, participating in community initiatives, or peacefully protesting, an informed citizenry strengthens the democratic fabric of our nation.
6. Responsibility and Accountability:** The constitution defines the structure of our government and the limits of its power. When citizens understand these principles, they can hold public officials accountable for their actions, promoting transparency and ethical governance.
7. Unity in Diversity:** Uganda's diverse population can find a common ground in the constitution. Understanding its principles fosters unity by promoting a shared understanding of the values that bind us together as a nation.
8. Preventing Misinformation:** Misinformation can lead to confusion and mistrust. By understanding our constitution, we reduce the likelihood of being misled and contribute to a more informed and resilient society.
In light of these reasons, I believe that initiatives, such as the ongoing constitution translation project, play a crucial role in making the constitution more accessible to all Ugandans. If you have any thoughts or would like to discuss this further, feel free to reach out.
