In
a world full of confusion, and more confusing confusion, how do you unconfuse
your own confusion even when your confusion is confused! (I know I'm making up
words here, stay with me.)
I’d
say, you simply look to the Lord for wisdom. You get to know The Word. You study the
Bible. You pray like your life depends on it. Which it does by the way… Your
life depends on the prayer you say and the godly path you take with God
Almighty. In the Name of Jesus. It’s called Salvation.
Jehovah
God is the author of clarity. When you align with the Holy Spirit impartation
in you, by and through your commitment, and surrender to Jesus Christ. You
become a lone voice of sanity in your lone world. In these times of “everyone
know it all…experts who have expertise in everything at the same time…every
ungodly one another telling each other what to do and how to think”. Puppets of
our own makings. It is a sad reality show on the earth today. You do not have to participate just because. Hold
your ground. Take a stance. For your own sake. As is often said in the African
home movies, “shine your eyes well well.”
My
friend, all things signal End Time. Indeed, no one knows the day or the hour.
No one known when Almighty God will end this madness we call living in earth.
Not a single soul in heaven or on earth knows when Jehovah the Creator of All
will end life as has been known in ages past and of present. But God has
spoken. Scripture is concise and precise. The Word of Jehovah could not be any
clearer. “When the Son of Man returns, it will be like it was in Noah’s day.”
My
friend, you are responsible for the environment you find yourself in. My
friend, it is up to you to take responsibility. Recreate a new atmosphere and
change your environment here now and then in eternity.
“Then God said, ‘Let
us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of
the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and
over all the creatures that move along the ground. So God created man in his
own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.
God blessed them and said to them, ‘Be fruitful and increase in number; fill
the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air
and over every living creature that moves on the ground.” (Genesis 1:26-28 NIV)
“In the beginning
was the Word, and the word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God
in the beginning. Through him all things were made; without him nothing was
made that has been made. In him was life, and that life was the light of men.
The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness has not understood it.”
(John 1:1-5 NIV)
“The Lord saw how
great man’s wickedness on the earth had become and that every inclination of
the thoughts of his heart was only evil all the time. The Lord was grieved that
he had made man on the earth, and his heart was filled with pain. So the Lord
said, ‘I will wipe mankind, whom I have created, from the face of the earth—men
and animals, creatures that move along the ground, and birds of the air—for I
am grieved that I have made them.’ But Noah found favor in the eyes of the
Lord.” (Genesis 6:5-8 NIV)
“In the beginning
God created the heavens and the earth. Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness
was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the
waters. And God said, ‘Let there be light,” and there was light. God saw that
the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness. God called
the light ‘day,’ and the darkness he called ‘night.’ And there was evening, and
there was morning—the first day.” (Genesis 1:1-5 NIV)
“As it was in the
days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. For in the days
before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in
marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark; and they knew nothing about what
would happen until the flood came and took them all away. That is how it shall
be at the coming of the Son of Man.” (Matthew 24:37-39 NIV).
“Now the earth was
corrupt in God’s sight and was full of violence. God saw how corrupt the earth
had become, for all the people on earth had corrupted their ways. So God said
to Noah, I am going to put an end to all people, for the earth is filled with violence
because of them. I am surely going to destroy both them and the earth.”
(Genesis 6:11-13 NIV)
“For God so loved
the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him
should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the
world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.”
(John 3:16-17 KJV).
The
Word of God is a guide. Employ the teachings of Scripture as a guard. At the
end of the day, my friend, you are responsible for the environment and
atmosphere you find yourself in. Happy Friday!
Blessings
and peace,
