Week 1:               April 3

Topic:                  What Is Sovereignty?

Moderator:                   Mrs. Adejoke Adebowale

Praise Worship Leader:           Mrs. C.S. Akingbade

i.        Sovereignty among men relates to the existence of supreme power, exercised by monarchs, over a defined territory and its inhabitants.

ii.       The source of that power is in the person who exercises it.

iii.      In ancient times kings or emperors exercised unlimited authority over their subjects. They made gods that their subjects must worship.  Disobedience led to capital punishment and there was no appeal, Daniel 3:1-7.  The concept of justice was as the monarch alone defined it, Daniel 3:11-15.

iv.      In our time, more and more rulers submit themselves to periodic elections.  Even most unelected kings, in varying degrees, allow public opinion to influence their decisions.

v.       God is sovereign. His decisions are not subject to approval by anyone, Ex. 3:14

3.       While the rulers of earthly kingdoms visit terror on their people, He shows mercy even to those who do not deserve it, Luke 23:33-34

4.       Yet He visits the unrepentant sinner with His righteous justice, Ps. 90:7-9
