At a certain
time, I studied events and noted at what point various persons shouted 'eureka'
as a result of ‘achievements’, then I discovered that many live as if the
summary of life is: “Grow up, Graduate from the university, Get a good job, Get
married to the love of your life, then maybe attend church service once in a
fortnight. It seemed everything was about struggling to make ends meet.
Is this
really the purpose for life? Is it the primary purpose for living? I mean, does
it all end there? Gush! If so, life would be so boring.
But then I
came to remembrance of the truth as stated in the manual the creator of man
gave to me. The manual did not state that all these were the primary purpose of
man’s existence; it did not state that we were created for just these, rather
it stated something cool!
The most
neglected amongst the priorities of modern day man was to be the most cherished
according to the manual.
I learnt
that the whole duty of man is to “fear God and keep his commandments”
(Ecclesiastes 12:13)
“But seek ye
first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be
added unto you” (Matthew 6:33)
“For what
shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own
soul?” (Mark 8:36)
Then I resolved that NOTHING IN THIS WORLD IS WORTH LOSING HEAVEN FOR.
No matter how we have to toil, we must not let it toil with our relationship with our Lord Jesus Christ.
No matter how we struggle to make ends meet, we must still go back to God and acknowledge him for who he is,,,YAHWEH! JEHOVAH JIRE!
Shalom!
