Justice and Moral Rights


Off late people were running under shock and thrown into chaos on the sudden announcement of banning the Indian currency notes for ceasing the Black money and corruption. It was told that this movement was enlisted as a surgical Demonetization. But how do the country and other nation see this Ban? Majority of the Indians and other nations waved a positive signal in favour of the government.

It’s been said that the RBI revenue has significantly increased to 33,000 crores in a week time. And also it would help prevent the stalled money from drug dealers, landlords, exorbitant interest lenders and terrorist. Expert opinions are studied, analysed and implemented according to the reporters, however also some sources say that there is an inefficient back out plan imposed and people had to run back to their old life style.

I was wondering how difficult it became now for the people to get back to old life style after being used to the technological world survival. There were days were people had to wait in the queue system to withdraw money from banks and all the expenditure was done through cash system and less of electronic transaction. After getting adapting to the 21st century technological lifestyle, people find it difficult to go back to old pattern of living.It would be always difficult to earn the good name back of all what you have earned and lost it, likewise we find it hard to go back to old pattern of life style after living in a comfort zone of 24/7 ease.

Heb 6-4 says It is impossible for those who have once been enlightened, who have tasted the heavenly gift, who have shared in the Holy Spirit,  who have tasted the goodness of the word of God and the powers of the coming age  and who have fallen away, to be brought back to repentance. It interprets as impossible, but there is nothing impossible with god says in Luke 1:37. To my understanding

 Whilst the aim of the government seems to be good to impasse the black money and corruption, it is inevitable to have a clean country unless we remove the root of the problem which is by accepting Jesus Christ as a personal saviour. There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way of death- prov14. If at all our moral rights and justice aren’t drawn from the source of absolutes it is impossible to have a clean nation and one good example is - the recent news says that the new currency of 2000 rupees was captured from the terrorist in Jammu and Kashmir during the fight between our soldiers and terrorists.

What causes poverty? Does corruption causes poverty or poverty causes corruption? Peter Eigen the chairman of the Transparency Index council said in 2002 that the country was lead to poverty because of corruptive politicians. As per 2014 corruption free country list which is ranked on the scale of 0(highly corrupt) -100(very clean). Our country is placed in 85th position.

It is highly impossible to lead the nation into justice and aim for the clean country when the politicians, leaders are above the law, they are the one who impose judgement, write the laws, amend it and does everything, and it is the dictatorship rule.

In-order to lead the nation to have a clean and morally good country they need to ask of wisdom from god as Solomon asked - Give me now wisdom and knowledge that I may go out and come in before this people: for who can judge this thy people that is so great?

It is only not the leaders but every citizen of this country to maintain integrity and pay taxes and not as evaders. There is no use of giving tithe regularly and evading taxes to the government for which god is not well pleased.
The Lord’s Coming is Near – Repent, Today is the day of salvation. Our God is always a god of second chance and so on.

Politician

An old superstition from the east encourages parents to predict their child’s future. Folk wisdom suggests that while the child is still a toddler, the parent should place on a table within the child’s reach, a bottle of wine, some money and a Bible. If the little one walks up to the table and picks up the bible, he will follow a spiritual vocation, possibly the priesthood. If he picks up the bottle of wine then hedonism is in the cards. If he picks up the money, he will probably become a business person or an entrepreneur.

The story is told of a new father, eager to plan for his son’s future who administered the test. He carefully positioned the three objects on the coffee table, watching eagerly what the little boy would do with them. The little guy walked up to the table, surveyed everything and slowly reached out his hand for the bible. Then he paused and picked up the money as well, placing it in the bible, finally he tucked the bible under one arm, took the bottle of wine in the other hand, and toddled off with all three, struggling to maintain his balance. The little boy’s grandfather stood over to the side, silently watching the whole scene unfold. When he saw the dismay on his own son’s face, he said, this is bad news. He is going to become a politician. We chuckle at a story like this because we tend to be quite skeptical about the men and women who inhabit the world of Politics. – (extracted from RZIM)

But what made our thinking to doubt about the politician, is political a Bad Job or God is not pleased with it? The present condition of our country is very bad as everywhere you see corruption, insecurity, injustice. The transparency indexing council chairman once said the country leads to poverty because of corrupt politician and they are above the law. The citizens of the country also play a trivial part of the corruption which enables the politician to enjoy lavish lifestyle while the rest are going to bed every day hungry. If at all a citizen come and raise their voice against the corrupt government he shall go disappear sooner or later.


Paul writes to Romans in 13th chapter - Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God. God perhaps allow certain things to happen in our life, society, country according to his purpose. It is in his ultimate will to make things let happen. My view is that a Christian can get involved in political activities or play a role to bring a reformation in society, but pragmatically it is going to be a tougher task to handle in the current society without compromise. The world says every good product comes with expensive price. If one wants to lead a life pleasing to god it takes complete surrender and sacrifice without expectations and ready to take the loss as profit.
