The Yearnings of God

God yearns that man will live in a better world – a world devoid of hunger, strife, envy, poverty, restlessness, anger, bitterness, commotion, arguments and hatred.

Look at your own personal world now. Isn’t it filled with the above mentioned things? Is your world not reflecting the things that God does not want? Is your world radiating the glory of God? Is your world fulfilling the dictates of God? If it isn’t, what could be the reason?

My beloved, God yearns above all things that you live in a peaceful world created by your acts and attitudes. A world created by the positive confession of your mouth, a world inhabited by your graceful conversations, a world devoid of deceit and animosity towards fellow human beings, a world of love towards all. That’s the world God wants you to create by yourself.

This type of world is however impossible without the saving Grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and your conscious effort to fulfil God’s yearnings. What will your own world turn out to be in the future? A world of strife or peace, poverty or prosperity, deceit or faithfulness, anger or patience?

God desires that you fulfil the yearnings of His heart. Will you obey or continue to live in your world of confusion? God expects you to make a major decision today by living to create a world He desires you to create for yourself and the coming generation.

THE SUPREME BEING - GOD

Sometimes I imagine where the dead go after they leave this world. Yes, I know as the scriptures has explicitly revealed all that needs to be known concerning the dead. Yet, the loss, the pain, the agony of losing a beloved one is very hard to take. Moreover if the loved one was very close to you.

One thing therefore is certain, we came into this world and we will surely leave this stage after playing out the script God wrote for us or the one we penned down ourselves. I remember when I lost my younger sister some 17 years ago. She was just eight years old...It was very painful coming back from the boarding school on a Sunday and getting to know that she passed on during the previous week. Tears welled up my eyes...I can never forget that moment when my dad called me into his room, opened the Bible and preached a short sermon to me (can't remember a thing he said). It was not easy to take though I was about 12 years old then....

One thing however is certain, I am going to see her again in heaven. Are you doing all you can to get to heaven? There is a life after this life. It's called ETERNITY. Where will you spend your own eternity? What you are enjoying now is just for a very very limited time. This world is coming to an end sooner than you can imagine.


With Jesus, heaven is certain. Will you be there?
