Too Much God For Me
I was going through some posts on Facebook and came upon this comment, "I enjoyed the course but it had a little too much God in it for me!" The comment in question was made by a friend of a distant relative who lives in another country so I have never met this person before and have no clue as to their outlook towards God.
How Much God is Too Much God?
My mind started to race as I chewed over the comment.
So many things have come into my mind that it is almost impossible to list them here but the most important one is:-
What will happen when we get to Heaven one day - Will there be a bit too much God there for us?
Reaching our destiny in Christ Jesus
Our destiny in Christ Jesus is set and we all know the final destiny that we want to or wish to reach. Heaven is the most obvious final destiny that we all plan to reach one day, but what varies is the route that we follow to reach our final destiny in Christ Jesus.
Jesus says "I am the way, the truth and the life". Jesus is therefore the guide that God has given to us to follow in our journey through life towards our final destiny of heaven and eternal life through Jesus. The Holy Spirit is the navigation system that has been planted within of us, and Jesus is the guiding satelite that will steer the navigation system.
The other day, I was travelling with my son and we were using a GPS navigation system to get to our destination. I was fascinated by this system where you enter your destination that you wish to go to. The system then detcts where you are and then sets a map before you with the directions to follow to reach your destination. As you travel, the system issues commands to you to turn here and turn there etc. If you miss one of the turnings, then the system suddenly starts to recalculate your route, and then again finds the best route for you to follow to get to your destination.
Our route is planned for us to reach our destiny in Christ, but how often does our navigation system in Jesus and the Holy Spirit have to "Recalculate" our route because we choose not to follow the original plan. Every time that we choose to ignore the Holy Spirit that is within us and miss a turning or a road, the Holy Spirit and Jesus have to recalculate our path, and often the alternative path that they need to then take us along is not as good as the original route that was planned. "Oh Brother, I am travelling along a real rough and bumpy road". Well why did you miss the turning onto the highway that was clearly indicated to you. If you did not miss that turning you would be travelling along the smooth highway of life. Oh well you see, when that turning came up, I was not watching or listening to the GPS of life and was rather preoccupied with something else in my life.
Our GPS System of life becomes activated the minute that we accept Jesus as our Lord and Saviour. Immediately our end destination is set as being "Eternal life in Heaven". The instructions are heard when we spend time in fellowship with the Lord through prayer time and quiet time with Him. The more that we listen to the instructions and the more that we turn off the distracting noise of sin in our lives, the better we are able to follow the instructions and travel the smooth highways of life. The GPS screen to follow is the instructions of the bible, which clearly indicates the route that we have to follow in life. Read the bible carefully and diligently, that you will not miss the instructions that are being passed onto you and so that the GPS will not have to constantly recalculate your route.
Diligence is rewarded by the joy of travelling a smooth road to your final destination.
Who Is Jesus
I think that everyone knows who is Jesus. He is the Christ, the Son of the living God. The more important question is "Who is Jesus to you?" What does Jesus mean to you and how does Jesus affect your life? Have you accepted Jesus into your life as Lord and Saviour or are you just aware of Him and know that He exists?
The best definition of Jesus comes from His own words to us in John 14:6 "I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except though Me."
Jesus says that He is the way. This means that Jesus is the example and the path that we are to follow. We are to follow in His teachings and to follow the narrow path that he has laid out for us towards a life of eternity. If you are in a strange city, and need to find a way to get to your destination, the best thing to do is to get a map, study it, and calculate the path that you need to follow in order to reach your destination. We are in the strange and complicated city of life. In order to reach our destination of eternal life in heaven, we have to get the map of the word of God, read the bible and study it, and in so doing we plan out our path to our end destination of eternal life in heaven.
If there is no map available, or if the map can not be understood easily, then you are to ask for directions. Jesus is standing knocking at the door, waiting to give you directions. Revelations 3:20 "Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to Him and dine with Him, and he with me." Jesus also says to us that there are two paths, the one is wide and easy to find, whilst the other is narrow and hidden. We are to follow that narrow path, for that is the way to eternal life (Matthew 7:14)
Who is Jesus to you - is he the way that you follow.
I am the truth. Jesus is truth. There is nothing that is hidden about Him and there are no hidden agenda's. The sole purpose that Jesus has for you, is that for you to enter into the kingdom of God. When Jesus started His ministry, he chose the twelve apostles to accompany Him everywhere. The twelve apostles were with Him day and night, and were witness to the fact that Jesus had nothing hidden. There was truth in all that He did and said. You are to be the same. I do not mean that you need to go and get twelve apostles to be with you day and night, but that you are to live in truth. The devils biggest weapon against you is those things that you keep secret. The devil uses those secrets to blackmail you and control you, but once the secret is brought out and the truth is revealed, the devil can no longer control you. And the truth shall set you free.
Confess your sins to one another (James 5:16) that the devil may have no hold over you and that you may walk in the truth that Jesus has laid out for you.
Who is Jesus to you. He said that he is the life. No one comes to the Father, except through Him. If your ultimate goal is to spend eternal life with God in Heaven, then you have to go through Jesus. Jesus becomes the life for you, and you are to live your life in Him. When we get baptised in water, we die to our former selves, and rise a new creation in Christ Jesus. Our life from that point on becomes a new life lived in Him. He is Life to us.
Who is Jesus to you? Is He a living reality to you, and is He the way the truth and the life for you, or is he just a common word that you use for the sake of cursing? If Jesus is not the way that you have chosen to follow your life, then it is never too late to change. He is knocking on the door, waiting for you to answer. Open the door and allow Him into your life, saying "God Help Me into eternal Life", so that you will have the map to life within you.
