The Executive, Legislature and Judiciary

In a typical democracy, there are three arms of government, the Executive, Legislature, and Judiciary. The Executive arm of government is responsible for implementing and administering the public policy enacted and funded by the legislative branch. The Legislative branch of government is responsible for enacting the laws of the state and appropriating the money necessary to operate the government. While the Judicial branch is responsible for interpreting the constitution and laws applying their interpretations to controversies brought before them.

When I looked at these three arms government, I marvelled because this system was copied and I believed it was a great inspiration from God Himself; this is also because this is the system of the Trinity in other words this is how God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit operate! I’m sure you’re like ‘huh?’ but it is. Now let’s take a look; God the Father is the Executive, God the Son is the Legislator, while the Holy Spirit is the Judiciary.

Let’s take a look at the Genesis of the book of Genesis, when God said “let there be light” in Genesis 1:3, it was with faith just as Hebrews 11:3 says, “By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible.” To say you declare a thing through faith implies it is seen as having existed even before they exist. In other words it is clear to say God created the universe in accordance with the principles of faith itself, thus falling in line with the roll of the Executive who is responsible for implementing and administering the public policy enacted by the legislative branch.

The executive role played by God the Father is also in line with John 1:3, which says, “All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made.” This shows God the Son acting the Legislative role of whom nothing happens without going through Him; just the way we understand nothing is enacted in a country without going through the Legislature.

Philippians 2:9-11 explains how God the Son is the Legislator, as seen in verse 9 which says, “Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name.” God raised the position of God the Son above Him, even though it is still Him but in another person. This shows God the Father respects order.

For God the Holy Spirit, let’s look at John 14:16 in the Amplified version which says, “And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Comforter (Counselor, Healer, Intercessor, Advocate, Strengthener, and Standby), that He may remain with you forever.” The Holy Spirit who stands as the Judiciary interprets what legislator has put down as law.

 Now, we know that for us the word of God (Bible) is what the Legislator has put down for us; it is the Holy Spirit who interprets the scriptures to us; this is why the Holy Spirit doesn’t just tell us things we haven’t at one point or the other studied. So, it is important for us to meditate on the scriptures in order for the Holy Spirit to explain what we’ve studied.

So, whatever God the Father does, He ensures it is in line with the principle laid down by God the Son and the interpretation of God the Holy Spirit; this is why in Genesis 1:26 God said “Let Us [Father, Son and Holy Spirit] make mankind in Our image, after Our likeness...” AMP. So when God says He has blessed us with all Spiritual blessings [ref. Ephesians 1:3], just know that it a collective effort of the Trinity, and no power or authority can stand against that the declaration made.

However, the Executive, Legislator and the Judiciary are embodied in one being who acts as three persons. This is the Gospel Truth.

Why not accept Jesus today if you haven’t. Pray out loud, “Jesus, I confess that You are my Lord and Saviour. I believe in my heart that God raised You from the dead. By faith in Your Word, I receive salvation now. Thank You for saving me!” Congratulations, you’re born again, you are now brand new!
