To the Elects, the answer is no. Not because God is indifferent, powerless, or cruel. The world is not the final destination; it is a simulator, a testing ground, a proving arena, and a preparation space for God\u2019s Elects. Every trial, every resistance, every tragedy, every shortage, and every challenge is deliberately designed as part of the process. The problems are not mistakes\u2014they are divine curriculum. The world is not meant to be fixed before the Elects are formed. It is the laboratory where sons are trained, and nothing is left to chance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>THE WORLD AS A SIMULATOR<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The world functions like a highly sophisticated simulator. Pressure is intentional to reveal what is inside you. Resistance is deliberate to test your response, obedience, and faith. Delay is programmed to teach timing and patience. Opposition is permitted to develop endurance and discernment. Scarcity is allowed to train reliance on God and resourcefulness. The goal of this simulator is formation. The world is not designed to pamper you\u2014it is designed to qualify you as an heir of God\u2019s kingdom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>THE REALITY SHOW ANALOGY: GULDAR ULTIMATE SEARCH<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Imagine you are selected for a reality show like Guldar Ultimate Search. The rules are already set. The terrain is mapped. The challenges are difficult and deliberate. Now imagine if you ignore the rules, fight the challenges meant to train you, pray for shortcuts, or attempt to skip stages. You are disqualified. The challenges are training, not obstacles to bypass. They are opportunities to develop discernment, faith, obedience, and strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>THE ARMY TRAINING ANALOGY<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Imagine you are newly enlisted in an elite army. The drills are intense and exhausting. The schedules are unforgiving. The discipline appears unfair. If you resist the training, fight the instructors, or pray against the drills, you are unfit for battle. God\u2019s training works the same way. He prepares Elects not for comfort but for service. Resistance, suffering, and testing are curriculum, not punishment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>EVEN THE SON LEARNED OBEDIENCE<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Scripture affirms learning through experience: \u201cThough He were a Son, yet learned He obedience by the things which He suffered\u201d (Hebrews 5:8). If the Son of God needed to learn obedience through suffering, the Elects must expect exposure to trial, challenge, and testing to learn submission, patience, and reliance on Abba.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>JESUS DID NOT COME TO REMOVE THE MAZE<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jesus did not come to dismantle the simulator but to teach us how to win inside it: to navigate pressure without compromise, endure hardship with faith, and operate effectively under spiritual, emotional, and practical constraints. He said, \u201cI am the Way\u201d\u2014not an escape route, but a roadmap. He provided the Holy Ghost, who is not a magic fix but a guide through the maze, offering wisdom, discernment, and power when obedience is practiced (John 16:13).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>WHY DISCIPLESHIP, NOT BIBLE SCHOOLS, IS JESUS\u2019 MODEL<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Discipleship is the method Jesus used to train His Elects, not classroom education. \u201cGo therefore and make disciples\u201d (Matthew 28:19). Bible schools focus on knowledge, discipleship focuses on transformation through exposure, obedience, and practice. Jesus trained His disciples by walking with them, allowing failures, correcting publicly and privately, and sending them into the world before they were \u201cperfectly ready.\u201d Knowledge without formation produces pride without power, revelation without obedience, gifts without governance, and information without application (1 Corinthians 8:1).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>MIRACLE MONGERING AND MIRACLES WITHOUT COMMITMENT<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Seeking miracles without commitment to Christ is like cheating in the examination hall. \u201cMany will say to Me\u2026 \u2018did we not do many wonders?\u2019 And I will declare, \u2018I never knew you\u2019\u201d (Matthew 7:22\u201323). Power is not the pass mark, character is. Miracles may attract crowds, but they do not produce sons. \u201cDo not rejoice that spirits submit to you; rejoice that your names are written in heaven\u201d (Luke 10:20). Seeking miracles without obedience is cheating the simulator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>LUCIFER\u2019S COUNTERFEIT SYSTEMS<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lucifer, the light bearer, has a counterfeit for everything God initiates, including organized religious Christianity versus faith in God through Christ, and signs without transformation. Many leaders do not discern this and respond with hostility when it is raised. \u201cEver learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth\u201d (2 Timothy 3:7). Organized Christianity separated from discipleship keeps people busy but unchanged, gifted but immature, hearing sermons but never being trained for kingdom responsibility. Imagine training to be a mechanic with no broken cars or a doctor with only healthy patients\u2014the outcome is inevitable incompetence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A CALL TO COME OUT OF COUNTERFEIT SYSTEMS<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is a call to come out of and away from these counterfeit systems. Resisting this call will be the greatest undoing to disobedient Elects. Scripture confirms that God Himself will allow collapse of systems built in His name but used to advance Satan\u2019s agenda. Houses built in His name but misused can be allowed to fail, destroying those who remain in them (Jeremiah 22:13-19, Ezekiel 14:13-23). God\u2019s intervention is righteous judgment; His desire is obedience, not mere participation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>THE CALL TO THE ANCIENT PATHS<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The solution is restoration. \u201cAsk for the old paths, where the good way is, and walk in it\u2026\u201d (Jeremiah 6:16). \u201cIn returning and rest you shall be saved; in quietness and confidence shall be your strength\u201d (Isaiah 30:15). Return to God\u2019s original methods: faith, not form; discipleship, not mere doctrine; transformation, not information; sons, not spectators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>KEY CLUES FOR THE ELECTS<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jesus came to show us how to win by pleasing Abba, and the Holy Ghost was given to guide us through the maze. Key qualifications include selflessness (Philippians 2:3), unconditional love (John 13:35), service without expecting reward (Luke 17:10), truth (John 17:17), faith (Hebrews 11:6), understanding (Proverbs 4:7), availability to every good work (2 Timothy 2:21), humility (James 4:6), obedience (Hebrews 5:8), and doing to others as you would have them do to you (Matthew 7:12).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>FINAL TRUTH TO CONSIDER<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The true Elects are being called out to form circles and coalitions for their own safety, survival, and sustenance. Solo rangers will pay a costly price. Unity, counsel, and mutual support are not optional\u2014they are strategic necessities. Isolation in the simulator increases vulnerability, delays growth, and invites attack from both natural and spiritual opposition. Those who refuse the call to align and operate within God\u2019s design for community risk the greatest undoing, as Scripture shows that God will allow collapse of misused structures, leaving the disobedient exposed (Jeremiah 22:13-19, Ezekiel 14:13-23).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>FINAL WORD TO THE ELECTS<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The world is not failing. The test is ongoing. The world is the examination hall. Miracles are tools, not tickets. Discipleship is the method, not theory. Obedience and character determine whether you pass or fail. The question is not why God has not fixed the world, but who is passing the simulator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr Priscilla Otuya<br>People&#8217;s Bishop<br>Catalyst Champion<br>+2348033931163<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>DOES GOD REALLY WANT TO SOLVE THE WORLD\u2019S PROBLEMS?
