This generation is lost
This generation is lost, it is either in clubs or market places, malls or controlled by movies, addictions or the desire to be approved by others. None of these things satisfy human soul. If you are truly thirsty to know how to truly enjoy life, I invite you to know first why you are created and present on this earth at this hour.
Ecclesiastes 5:2 Do not be rash with your mouth,
And let not your heart utter anything hastily before God.
For God is in heaven, and you on earth;
Therefore let your words be few.
We all have a Maker
No device can be used well if the maker cannot give a manual to its utility. We are made by a supreme authority who knows well where to fit a nose, eyes, ears and every organ perfectly to perfectly function for so many years along with beautiful looking image on the outside, the image of God Himself.
We need to meet the Maker
Yes He has a manual for us. His manual has no condemnation.
When we go to Him with guilt, He forgives and erases our past.
When we go to Him with downhearted nature, He uplifts us.
when we go with sickness, he heals us.
When we go with lack, He fills us with abundance.
When we go with failure, He makes us winners. When we go with bitterness, He fills us with joy. when we go to Him with confusion, he brings clarity into our thoughts and our lives.
When we go to Him with pain, he comforts us. when we go to Him with loneliness, He becomes our refuge, our everything including every human role we physically lack in our lives.
when we go to him for wisdom, he fills us with wisdom to handle life in the way it should be. When anyone go to him blind, mute, lame He makes them see, speak and run.
He is the maker of every impossible thing into possibility. He is the maker and to him we must go so he rescues our generations from partying meaninglessly, spending lives vainly, remaining bitter jealous and selfish when others dont approve of them or look better than them. This is not what we are made for.
Maker makes everything unique.
comparison is not good. Maker makes everything unique. A bulb cannot be compared with a fan. A dog cannot be compared with a cat. A human cannot be compared with another human who has a unique Spirit soul and body. No two human finger prints are the same, that shows how uniquely we are all made by God. Live with peace within your soul Spirit and body by coming to Jesus your maker.
He reconciles us with ourselves, with himself and with others.
Your Maker sets you FREE.
Only a maker can correct if anything goes wrong, only he has control over us and only he must have. To be controlled by addictions makes one sick, socially unacceptable, physically unfit, mentally ill. Because addictions of a person did not make him/her and hence cannot control rightly in a way that edifies their lives.
Only Jesus can set a person free from wrong attachments and edify one's soul.
The idol you make is not your Maker
A God cannot be something that's made with your hands. He is supreme and cannot be comprehended to be in an object. His Presence and Power upholds the whole universe. Not one star or planet loses control and be displaced. what an accuracy in the make and control by a supreme maker!
Maker's manual for us
Yet this generation doesnt ponder on all these things. a good job with a good package is enough to eat, drink sleep well and then repeat the same thing again but why we are created - did it ever occur to our minds ? What are we gonna achieve by doing the same thing we do every single day ? Are we free to be living right ?
Nobody wants to know if a thing is right or wrong in this generation. Everyone is just looking ways to fill their stomachs but after filling what is the use, what good it is to have everything but not know the best utility to live a best life ? Outside the manual, there is no use of a machine. likewise outside God's manual a human has no life.
God's manual is for us to know Him and live like Him.
Ecclesiastes 3:12-13 I know that nothing is better for them than to rejoice, and to do good in their lives, and also that every man should eat and drink and enjoy the good of all his labor—it is the gift of God.
Ecclesiastes 2:20-23 Therefore I turned my heart and despaired of all the labor in which I had toiled under the sun. For there is a man whose labor is with wisdom, knowledge, and skill; yet he must leave his heritage to a man who has not labored for it. This also is vanity and a great evil. For what has man for all his labor, and for the striving of his heart with which he has toiled under the sun? For all his days are sorrowful, and his work burdensome; even in the night his heart takes no rest. This also is vanity.
Ecclesiastes 3:9
The God-Given Task
What profit has the worker from that in which he labors?
We are not self made, as a phone cannot be self made. We have a maker, perfect One.
Let us look to Him the author and the finisher of our faith in Him brings the real life out of us and blesses the earth wherever we are placed by him. Think about it.
How I met my Maker !
In my high school years, I recognized the need for a Savior to set me free from bad things like lying being angry etc. Our conscience tells us how good we are on the inside though we look good on the outside. Many today live a double life and deceive themselves saying everything is fine. When the inner man identifies the need of a Savior we need to search for Him. I searched out questioning deeply, repeatedly then I tried doing what I know - i asked God to fulfil what the Bible says is true and that truth came alive ! I was left in awe.
What Bible says
Romans 10:13 For “everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”
My Prayer of repentance
I did this simple prayer of repentance repeatedly for some days until I truly desire to leave what is wrong behind and live a pure life just as Jesus created me to be.
On that day after I stood up from my knees, I literally knew that I'm a new creation, there's joy and my conscience was cleaner than ever, for years I had no such clean heart. And my soul rejoiced to its fullest, I had right mind and great peace inside of me and I had this assurance that God is for me and I had no fear of sin, death and no guilt in my heart about anything.
I was forgiven !
I was forgiven ! Left in awe that it is that simple to meet God in simplest genuine prayer of repentance believing that God is Holy. Ever since I'm a new creation, His Word became my soul's delightful food. Everyday knowing that He loves me and be flooded by His goodness is just beyond my thoughts but God made it possible.
Fruitful with clear conscience
I began living my life pure and purposeful, Became an institute Gold medalist in my btech, got selected for top company and I knew deep in my heart God has more for me. No job or studies could give us the joy the love of God gives in our lives. God spoke to me things that will happen in future so I was prepared for His goodness to manifest in the midst of every situation of my life. He didn't leave me ever, I knew well that He is right next to me in my college office bus flight train room home wherever I was. His favor was upon me. I was able to share this love and Grace of God to others in their painful and hurtful moments and seeing them comforted satisfied me more than anything else.
Made for more than self
Each of us are not created for ourselves. Living for just ourselves is just worthless. When we come to our Maker, He reveals things to us and equips us with gifts, talents and thoughts to put forth what He created us to do. When we do it, it satisfies our lives, to the fullest. That is truly living life. Living for ourselves is just surviving. We are not created for just surviving like dogs and cats do. We exist to bring meaning to one another's life by loving each other as God first loved us inspite of our too many sins and has forgiven us so we can bear fruit be good to ourselves and to others the way we cannot be before meeting God in our prayer of repentance.
Made for eternally living with the Maker
Ecclesiastes 3:11 He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also He has put eternity in their hearts, except that no one can find out the work that God does from beginning to end.
We are for eternity and not just for this earth which is why none of us like death. We dont like departing from one another. Our spirits are eternal, our bodies are just dust. Death is just for the bodies but souls remain alive and go to God who created them. So we should choose to live eternally good. If we are not good right here and dont desire to be good, our eternity remains in question - where do we go after we die - heaven or hell ?
Heaven or hell ?
This generation has no time in thinking about these valuable and life edifying things. Heaven is where God is. Hell is where evil and every bad thing is punished. Why would anyone want to suffer eternally ? The point is no one wants to think about life after death but this is true that there is eternal life after death. Many people who went through near death experiences witnessed two places - hell and heaven. They after coming back to life from death now say they were wrong to deny God, they were wrong to deny heaven and hell. They now live their lives accountably repenting of their sins and experiencing God's true love. I am thankful that Jesus met me when I needed Him and transformed me into a new creation worthy of entering heaven by His Grace and Mercy.
Meet your Maker
If you desire to be in heaven, make a decision now to repent of your sins and ask Jesus to forgive you, He forgives you and makes you new altogether again
He is the Maker, He alone is worthy of our praise now and forever. Amen.
You make look odd but you live a satisfying life in the Presence of God your Maker today if you choose to repent and come to Him.
He gives you abundant life, a life that you have never thought possible, a life with clear conscience love and pure joy.
A life of dominion but not slavery. A life of freedom and not bondage. Today be set free my friend by praying this simple prayer
Prayer of repentance
Lord Jesus, thankyou for dying for me on the cross, I repent of my sin, come into my heart and set me free from sin sickness and pain. Fill me with your love and goodness so that I can live abundant life, in Jesus name I ask and receive. Amen.
