Question: Is God in control of everything? because i can not find it anywhere in the new testament in my bible.
Answer:
The Bible clearly presents God as Sovereign and in total control over all things. Nothing can happen in this world without God's permission. It is because God is the ultimate ruler over His creation. It is true that there are many references in the Old Testament which clearly speak on the Sovereignty of God and His rulership over all creation.
The word Almighty itself means 'one who has power over everything', in other words the one in total control. The title Almighty occurs many times in the book of Revelation. Even otherwise, we see the fact that God is in control over all things in the Gospels through the life of Jesus and the book of Acts in how God directs all things.
Ephesians 1:11 emphatically says God works all things according to His will. So we can be rest assured that our God is in control over all things and the teachings of God's Sovereignty in the Old Testament is approved and sustained in the New Testament.
