UNDERSTANDING LIFE



UNDERSTANDING LIFE
Life we need to understand is not the mate of any created being. All created beings are brought or ushered into life (an existing life for that matter) and only granted the permission and authority to enjoy this God-given life or live this life as it pleases one.
Every created being id given the opportunity to live this life on earth for a period of time; and when this time expires, the spirit and the soul are withdrawn, and the body become a carcass, returning to the earth as dust. This is what is called death or end-of-life.
In reality however, this is not the end of life; for life is for eternity. At the expiry of the time of the individual beings on earth, the individual is withdrawn or translated to the world beyond to continue living same life.At the time of resurrection, every created being shall be restored to the same life that had been in existencebefore being created.
At the time of judgements, every created being is made to live his or her God-given life in;
a.     Kingdom of God.
b.     Perdition.
Life therefore is beyond us and not our property; we therefore cannot change life nor alter it. We can only change life pattern or style and the way live life.
If it were possible for us to change life, many people would have escaped with their wickedness and prayers of God’s visitation on enemies of our God-given life with fire as a punishment will have been thwarted.
Amos chapter 1 and 2, the Bible enjoins us to bless our enemies to enable us heap coal of fire on them. This is because God knows the life granted the enemy is intact and unchangeable. The law of Karma would have been of no effect had it been it were possible to change life.
Any attempt by anyone to want to change life like chameleon is in futility. Any expectation to be endowed with another life after you have foolishly and mercilessly ruined your God-given life also amounts to futile expectations.
NB: Life is beyond us and not our mate or subordinate to toil with. The question, where will you spend eternity only becomes relevant when there is an understanding that life is an eternal gift of God that can be spent either in God’s Kingdom or in Perdition.What is changeable about life are only;
a.     The style.
b.     The pattern.
c.      The way you live God’s given life.
Why will you not concentrate your efforts on changing your life style, pattern and way of living instead of praying to change what remaineth unchangeable?
All those who have in one way or the other afflicted you with pains and torment cannot escape from the judgement and punishment of God whether dead or living as God will visit them with His wrath. God’s visitation may be now or later; but for sure there is no escape.
Enjoy your God-given life without subjecting others to pain thinking you have escape. Stop your attempt to control life or rule life – enjoy it as you find it.
