Have you ever wondered why we are here or why God created the world?  Or, what is the purpose behind some of the things we see?  The answer is always in the Bible.  The Almighty God has given us signs which relate to his Son.  Every God’s creation carries a message about his Son.  The scriptures says, ‘God created the world through Jesus’. John 1:3, Colossians 1

Below are some of the signs, which point to Jesus, and God’s Kingdom.

As human beings God designed us with a very high intelligence which is above other creatures.  As you know, we can analyse, reason, explore our imagination, etc.

All of us are clever in our own way, and it all depends on whether we want to push that extra mile. We are experts when it comes to scrutinising, and managing given situations or tasks.

We have a big capacity to process information, hence keeping some of it or filter out what we don’t want.

As you aware, we start each day with decisions and reasoning.  We spend a lot of time thinking about what we need to, want to do, don’t want to do, or didn’t manage to do, etc.  and end up giving reasons.

Jesus mentioned something that resonates with my mind from time to time; to imitate the attitude of little children.  There is a lot we can learn from children, especially when it comes to handling life, for they have in built godly wisdom.  And when it comes to learning about God, they’re very receptive.

They’re also very smart, but school can be a pressure ground, where tasks are decided for them. However, in their mind, they think about, why they need to do a task, and the benefits. In most cases, whatever  information they get fed, they’re only going to decide what they want to do. Which means, as they get older, thinking about what’s necessary for themselves is crucial.

I’m one of those people who believe there is no need to put pressure on children with intensive exams. We all know, it is good to learn the necessary skills from here and there, but to put pressure on a child to a point where they’re stressed out, and scared of school is something to  reconsider. (just an observation)

Going back to the first point, when you read the Bible, you get to understand that God wants us to use our thinking ability, thus thinking clearly through understanding and knowledge.

I remember the first time I heard about evolution, I got confused. The Bing-bang theory didn’t make any sense at all.  The monkey theory, that human beings evolved from a monkey didn’t make sense either. I thought to myself, how come monkeys are still monkeys and we are still humans. When I thought about God’s message, I knew the Bible is spot on. It explains everything. God’s word cannot be beaten.

The fact that Jesus used parables as a way of communication, indicates that God wants us to think deeply.  Secondly, he wants us to acknowledge that we need  help when it comes to understanding his message. Even though we are clever, God knows we are limited, that’s why he used Jesus and the Holy Spirit to play a crucial role, to help us understand his word (Holy Bible). The people who wrote the Bible had to be directed by God and Jesus, to avoid any errors.

Sometimes as you know, human beings can be proud, thinking they can figure out things without his help. Wrong. It is impossible without God’s help. For a pot without a maker, there is no pot.

The purpose of life, is to get it right before God.  He doesn’t want us to miss the point, in other words, he doesn’t want us to miss out, when it comes to his salvation through Jesus.

God Almighty our creator knows we need help, for without him we can’t function.  So he has to make sure this world he created functions according to his will.

The right amount of oxygen and carbon dioxide is released in the atmosphere for all living things to survive.  The sun has to be at the right position from the earth.   Genesis 1:14 God said, let there be lights from expanse of the sky to separate the day from night, and let them serve as signs to mark the seasons, days and years.  And let them be lights in the expanse of the sky to give light on earth.  God made two great lights, the greater light to govern the day and the lesser light to govern the night. And God saw it was good.

Jesus said, God is always at work.  So he is busy working behind the scenes.  He looks after all creatures great and small.  That’s a big job to handle, only God can do it.  So talking about work, this is work at its best.

We all have our own tasks to handle.  And sometimes our tasks can be too difficult to handle, causing us to give up.  However, perseverance helps us to go a long way.  Most of our tasks require reasoning.  Why do we do it, and what are the benefits?  God allows us to work because it is good for us. Laziness is not good for us.

Remember we acquired God’s characters, and one of them is determination.  When he decides to do something he does it as he did right from the beginning.  Relatively, when we are determined to do something we get on with it.  God gives energy, without it nothing can be done.  He made sure every creature gets enough energy to act accordingly.

Weakness is not good, for God wants us to be strong in faith and actions.  According to the Bible many of our weaknesses are brought about by Satan.  One of them is fear.  Fear, as you know, brings insecurity.  Satan’s character is to be bad in everything. Satan manipulates fear to our disadvantage, for example, fear of stepping into faith, etc. The scripture says, there is no fear in love.  1 John 4:18.  Love crosses difficult barriers.  In essence, we all need God’s love. God put a portion of love in each and everyone of us, as you know,  without it, we can’t  give or take.

Sometimes, we forget how loving and patient God is.  For without his amazing generousity and kindness, we wouldn’t enjoy life. The scripture says, don’t be deceived…every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father in heaven.

God planned that every human being needs Jesus, when it comes to his salvation.  The holiness God requires from us, can only be obtained through his Son.  He says it in the scriptures, so it’s up to us to accept it or not.  Acts 4:17.  Salvation is found in no one else, there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved.
