FOOD FOR TEENS - GRAVITY
Dear teens, grace and peace be multiplied in your life this new month
in Jesus name. This month I want to talk to you about something I titled
"gravity." I know you are wondering what gravity has got to do with
God's word. Anyway by the end of this article you will understand.
Gravity is a
force that pulls an object or body towards the centre of the earth so that
things fall to the ground when they are dropped. Gravity is a law that
everything on earth must obey. Just like we can prove gravity physically, there
is also a force that works on everybody/objects on this earth spiritually, that
is exactly like gravity.
The Bible makes
us understand in Proverbs 25:3 that "The heaven for height and the earth for
depth..." This goes to prove that everything that is associated
(from) this earth is supposed to gravitate to the centre of the earth
spiritually which is its depth. No wonder when something bad happens, people
are quick to say this life is deep. God told Adam in Gen 3:19, "for
dust thou art and unto dust thou shall return." This is spiritual
gravity; No matter how high any man gets to, without Christ he's bound to go
down because the "earth for its depth." depth is associated with
ground. No matter how well his life seems to be going for an unbeliever, please
do not envy them because their lives have been programmed to go down and down
just like it was with Adam until he died. Just take a minute to observe every
seemingly successful man outside Christ then you see they always end up poorly.
Whether in academics, business, finance, marriage, entertainment, the end is always
the ground for them. But there is something else i would like for you to see in
Proverbs 25:3, "The heaven for its height.." Physically there is a
level you get to in space, far above the sky (physical heaven) where gravity no
longer operates.
My dear brothers
and sisters I am glad to tell you that this heaven is what Jesus our Saviour
died and resurrected for us to enjoy. Colossians 1:13: we have been delivered
from earthly force that pulls everyman towards death and destruction and have
been translated into a new kingdom (which is the kingdom of heaven) even why we
are here on earth, we can now defile spiritual gravity (i.e. those forces that
tends to bring a man down).
In the kingdom of
heaven where we've been translated, there's a new form of force that pushes a
man upwards not bring a man down. No wonder Jesus Christ ascended after He gave
us the kingdom just to show us how to live now. We are only supposed to get
better and better every day and not the reverse, no wonder Proverbs 4:18 makes
us to understand that the path of the righteous is as a shining light that
shines more and more unto the perfect day. In your life, be conscious of this
fact about the kingdom where you are from, things can only get better, never
worse, even though things may seem bad sometimes but it is just another way God
elevates His children. Ephesians 1:3, "Blessed be the God and father of our
Lord Jesus, who has blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly
places." Where you are there's so much blessings, stay there!
In God's kingdom
you don't try to be blessed you are already blessed. This is the rest the Bible
told us to labour to enter (this good life in Christ Jesus). But this kingdom
has a way of life that you must learn so that you can enjoy this kingdom
optimally. This is why we study God's word to learn His ways, to live a life
befitting of the kingdom where Jesus is Lord.
As you begin to study and fellowship with the Holy Ghost, your eyes
will begin to open more into this wonderful place where you belong. The reasons
why Christians are not scared to start small is because they understand how
this kingdom works, things only gets better and better as we continue in the
consciousness and knowledge of this great kingdom. Whether in your finance,
academics, marriage, career you must succeed if you belong to this wonderful
kingdom of God because while the earth (flesh) can only take you down heaven
(spirit) can only take you up.
Enjoy this
wonderful kingdom that God has prepared for you and let your light shine so bright
that the world would be amazed by it.
Until next month
stay blessed and keep moving up.
