GOD IS HAPPY WHEN THE
SOURCE BECOMES THE DESTINATION!!!
God
has so ordained the scheme of creation to run in a way that if men follow His
laid down processes and precepts, He who is their source would eventually end
up becoming their destination. God created us for Himself and would always love
that we find our comfort and relaxation in Him and Him alone and to end up
being with Him forever. God has so much delight in man that He gave man access
and connection to Him directly for communion before He gave him dominion on the
earth (just because God cannot afford to
lose us as the object of His love) so that as man proceeds in His dominion
mandate, he would forever be conscious that he has a destination which is not
just a place but who is God.
I
was so shocked when recently I realised one of the pain in the heart of God. He
said to me ‘Why is it that when most
couples are looking for the fruit of the womb, they look up to Me but they
refuse to take care of such seeds such that their source would end up being
their ultimate destination?’
It
is becoming increasingly of great concern to God that most of the seeds that He
released to men on earth on trust ends up in hell with the devil. Those souls who
took God great deal of time to create become of less value in the eyes and
hearts of the men He gave them to that they do not do all within their capacity
to train them so that they could end up in the hands of the ONE who own them. I
keep hearing the Lord saying that He is not pleased with parents who neglect his
gifts (the children He gave them) or train them His own way though it appears
that you are doing your best.
Man
on earth is a steward and would give account of all that was given to him on
earth to God. We all would render our stewardship to the God the ultimate owner
of all. Our life, time, resources, children and given to us on earth are
released to us on trust and the demand on us is to manage them that we may bring
honor and glory to God. As I hear the emphasis of the heavens at the point of
time about the children on the earth, I am so sure that heaven is pointing its
finger against the parents to whom these children were released.
Could
all the blames be on the parents? If not all, then most (90%). This is because God
give resources to men according to their capacity. God would not have given to
you a resource you could not handle. The challenge most times is that parents
assume ownership instead of stewardship over their wards. They believe they can
handle, manage and train according to their standards without consulting their
ultimate owner. Some of the challenges of these children started from the womb
but thank God for mothers like Rebecca who went to God to get the prophetic
word about the seeds even while they were in the womb, while for some other
children, their problems started with their names. Identity has influence on
destiny. Jabez became an object of sorrow because of his name, Jacob became an
object known for deceit because of his name, and it took God to change Abram’s
name to Abraham for him to be a father in his lifetime. All these are effects
of not consulting the source of the resource for the way to manage the
resources.
My
concern is that many parents, despite their labors on the earth, could have
their heavenly files dented because they have refused to train up their
children in God’s way and by God’s power. God’s work must be done God’s way in God’s
power with God’s resources to fulfil God’s purpose. Training up a child
is one of God’s works and a major one for parents.
While
this article isn’t intended to be comprehensive, I believe that someone would
be stirred up by these words to check up his/her status with God as regards the
human resources that God has placed in their hands. Thank you.
