Upright

Today I received just one word 'upright' as a message for the day.

Yesterday at my session I was talking on Babylon as a tree which lifted itself from earth to Heaven, I asked them at the session a very simple question 'where is Heaven?' Everybody soon start to look at each other for each knew what they knew was not exactly right.

To prove man's wisdom foolish God rightly made the earth round and man a spec in His creation.

Similarly the direction up is a relative term and up for the person in USA is down for the person in Australia. Time, space, volume, matter is all relative and in reality just nothing. This world and things of the world is just vanity if one does go deep into understanding it. But God did not make vanity, when He created this world as He made things it is written He made it either according to 'His kind' or 'their kind'. Now what 'His' and 'their' kind means is the secret of understanding Heaven and the Kingdom of Heaven.

If we understand creation we will understand the things of Heaven, because all things are created for a purpose and have an image in them.

Being upright cannot be accord to any man on earth because indirectly he/she/it has to point either to 'His kind' or 'their kind'. Since man did not know God no man was found to be upright, even though Job who is introduced to be upright had to go through a great ordeal due to this factor. He learnt at the end his uprightness was nothing compared to God's level. According to man we may be a great example like Job was in the start but when we compare to God's Kingdom we do not stand any status.

For man to be truly upright God the Son came as man and became an example. Now for us who do not even know the direction to Heaven can use Jesus Christ as a reference. He is the Way, Truth and Life and by Him we can now know not only where Heaven is but also live perfect life on earth and experience Heaven here itself.


[ Prayer Starter ]
Lord God, none were found worthy therefore You came as man to show is the way to live life to its fullness. Lord we thank You for Jesus Christ the Vine unto Whom we need to be grafted to so as to know and dwell in the Kingdom of Heaven. Lord Jesus, by You and You alone can we reach Home and live life here as our Father desires. We look up to You, show Yourself unto us more and more and by your Spirit help us to be like You...

This prayer we make in your Mighty Name, Amen.

The Word of God was given free to us, therefore we should also share it freely with others. (All rights are with God)
