Weekly Reflection
Why the Restoration?
Good question. Restoration; a thrilling prophecy of the new world to come. The preparation for the new Government (God’s kingdom according to prophet Daniel) is necessary because it is God's will and must be fulfilled. The take-over will alleviate human sufferings and restore the lost Paradise. God alone can restore; for human all we need to do is to repent, pray for forgiveness and try to forgive one another.
When we expect visitors, we prepare for their visits like important personalities of the State, bosom Friends, Love ones, etc; we clean, shop, cook and dress up. In the case of Head of states, the media will broadcast it, posters all around; in the hot climate we line up in the intensive heat or take stand in the freezing cold weather of the western climate.
But the Messiah has sent message of HIS arrival. Must we not clean his TEMPLE to let him in?
(I will like to share this Answer with my viewers; where is this temple?)
Why believe God is good?Good question. Let us start with a more confusing statement as many will ask when come across this quote in Psalm 112:3 “there are Valuable Things and Riches in My House” How then does God testify this comment of his if a lot are in misery and agony in our world today. Majority of those gone to the world of the dead did so in misery.
However death is death and cannot be classified as good and bad death. But the worst I should think worst of is one who took his or her own life – the misery behind the decision to do so. Now where is the evidence of this quotation?
Ephesians1:11 says we are the HEIR of the throne by his grace; with the true believers of God through his Son Jesus Christ, the answer is short and straight. LOVE + TRUST + PATIENCE will sum up to FAITH. If you truly love a friend, husband, wife, son, daughter or whoever you must have to apply some amount of trust, and exercise certain degree of patience in the relationship.
This recipe has never failed anyone in real life situation and will never fail the children of God with their Father in Heaven.
(Another Answer to share with my viewers, Is God Love?)
Is it Love or Lust?In the process of writing, God, he inscribes his words on the stone tablets. Conforming to God’s standard and spiritual maturity is not how much bible we read or worships we attended but the way we conduct ourselves putting in practice that Christ- like- attitude. Number 25:1 says “the daughters of Moab; generation after generation have lost it on the account of sexual intimacy which is a sacred gift of the Creator to do with life and pro-creation”
In our world today, Sex before marriage, prostitution, divorce, Homosexual, Fornication, Lesbian and Gay marriages and so on are being looked at as personal choices and individual matters even behaviors and attitudes that lure people into these are seen as Fashion. Women we lay bare the most precious part of our body; jiggling the up-stairs for notice and down stairs we call for free- entry with the 'tongue or string' whatever it is called leading to the entrance. Yet men are better clothed to retain their dignity and respect for manhood and for God.
Yes Eve gave Adam to eat, dear Sisters in Christ, it's high time we started to say 'No' to Satan, for once we must outsmart his evil ways. Let us answer to this call of 'Restoration' by trying to dress modestly to respect ourselves and motherhood, above all give glory to God's creation.
(Please share the answer once again, Is sexual intercourse a symbol of Love?)
