Seek ye the Kingdom of God
May 22nd, 2007 by Delroy
Hello everyone
It dawned on me that most things that people desire in this life/age, is ultimately and definitely going to be in God’s Coming Kingdom.
People desire …
- to live forever
[Rom 2:7, 1 Cor. 15:53-54; 2 Tim 1:10] - to have eternal youth
- to have good health and no more sickness
[Phil 3:21; 1 Cor 15:44,52-54] - to have true, worldwide peace and no more war
- to have No More Poverty
- to have No More Famine
[Isa 2:4, 65:21-25; Micah 4:3-4; Psa 72:3-7] - to have no more violence, terrorism, crime, etc
[Isa 11:6-9; Isa 60:18; 1 Cor 6:9-10]
All these benefits and more the saints are going to inherit and enjoy in the Kingdom.
Don’t get me wrong! I am not suggesting that governments and people in general should not strive to make this world a better and safer place especially for those who are suffering poverty & famine, because of greed and other manmade contributions.
Nevertheless, the ultimate good news is that:
even if one never has any of these benefits in this life/age;
God who cannot lie, has guaranteed us that all of the above blessings and more will be in His Kingdom in the Life/Age to come!!
And we can all inherit these benefits if we believe His word concerning His Kingdom and obey His commandments accordingly.
That is Good News!!
So we should take our Lord and Master, Jesus the Messiah’s advice and Seek irrespective of the cost, the Kingdom of God[Luke 12:31]; because the benefits far outweigh the sufferings that we have to endure in this life!! [Rom 8.18]
Be encouraged One and All!
Our world so needs God’s kingdom. What good news that he plans on doing something. We are not left to wallow in the problem of evil but we have a sure promise that one day God will make things right. Thanks for the encouragement.
