who are WE in Christ Jesus?

Mankind's Ultimate destination and achievement is to find CONVICTION in GOD














During this past week, i unfortunately fell ill that i had to go and visit the doctor, it turned out that, i had failed to adequately keep warm, hence it had affected my tender chest resulting in constant evening coughs. Further to that i had overworked myself in the past few weeks and fatigue had triggered in me constant mild headaches and uneasiness within my muscles.

With some tablets i was told sent off by the doctor and encouraged to give myself enough rest and to regularly take in a lot of water. However my fascination through all this came whilst i sat at the clinic bench awaiting my turn to see the doctor, seeing and being surrounded by sick people of all ages, babies crying, sad faces in pain, elderly people being given a hand to walk from point A to point B. Eish i must confess got me wondering of; 'what life really is about and what meaning is it or has whether in sickness or health?'

They say, and we believe that God is the creator, giver, sustainer and ultimately re-possessor of all of life, out of his will and in his appointed time. The question however i shivered at the thought of was, as his creation (humanity) do we really understand the significance he bears upon our every facet of life, either in well-health or ill-health?

With constant reflection upon this thought, i came up with the three following reflective questions, which i desire everyone to honestly reflect upon and personally answer:

1. DO you KNOW GOD?

2. DO you BELIEVE THAT HE EXISTS?

3. ULTIMATELY Are you CONVINCED THAT HE IS ACTIVELY INVOLVED IN every facet of your WHOLE EXISTENCE?

Along the same thought, i realised also that; "only GOD posses the ability to inform my view/understanding of who He is and that our desire to know and encounter Him facilitates OUR everyday existence and relationship with both HIM and other people around us"

"our love and desire for GOD enables us to live GOD conscious lives!"

Ultimately existence ought to be about GOD through our existence, hence another question, "Is your EXISTENCE a title or testimony to others around you as well as to GOD himself"

Indeed as pilgrims of this here world we are restless and inadequate until and unless we personally encounter the Living God..........

I also found the following hymn of encouragement as it pointed me to focus on GOD as my source and ultimate destination...


Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus

O soul are you weary and troubled?
No light in the darkness you see?
There's light for a look at the Saviour,
And life more abundant and free:

[Chorus:]

Turn you eyes upon Jesus,
Look full in His wonderful face;
And the things of earth will grow strangely dim
In the light of His glory and grace.

Through death into life everlasting
He passed, and we follow Him there;
Over us sin no more hath dominion
For more than conqu'rors we are!

[Chorus]

His word shall not fail you He promised;
Believe Him and all will be well.
Then go to a world that is dying,
His perfect salvation to tell!

[Chorus]
