Who Has Experienced a Situation Where a Human Being is Resisting God?

Who has experienced a situation where a human being is resisting God?
Neither I nor you,
But when God in His wisdom appoints a person to become a chief,
With the person so appointed ending up being vehemently thwarted in his efforts,
To become as ordained by God,
By a mortal queen working dishonestly in tandem with her colleagues,
So to speak, a bunch of accomplices,
Who dote on the philosophy of "create, loot and share"
Then a human being is resisting God.

Who has experienced a situation where a human being is resisting God?
Neither I nor you,
But when an alleged powerful Overlord emerges,
Goes public,
Raving and ranting,
Throwing his hands aimlessly in the air,
And punching his chest,
Same as does an angry chimp,
Saying he is above the laws of the land,
And that no court will be able to reverse his prejudicial decisions taken,
Against an appointed person of God,
Whereas the law is no respecter of persons,
Then a human being is resisting God.

Who has experienced a situation where a human being is resisting God?
Neither I nor you,
But when a whole Council of Chiefs,
Sits to hear a queen,
Declare publicly to have given bribes,
With intent to sabotage the God's Chosen one,
By inducing some Kingmakers financially,
To rather support her preferred candidate,
A half human, a half beast,
To become the chief,
Instead of giving the one appointed by God the chance,
Knowing very well that her action is unconventional,
Although encouraged by a supposed Overlord,
Then a human being is resisting God.

Who has experienced a situation where a human being is resisting God?
Neither I nor you,
But when a nation's President,
Claims to be a "dead goat",
A sarcastic response to the people's outcry,
Requesting him to be a bit considerate,
In the way he is nonchalantly treating them,
Because of the hardships brought to bear upon them,
Through mismanagement, acts of corruption, tribalism, clueless and incompetence,
Such a response,
As cold and callous as it seems,
Disregarding the relevance of the saying,
"The voice of the people is the voice of God"
Then a human being is resisting God.
