THE FATE OF HUMANITY
Ecclesiastes 1:4, KJV
"One generation passeth away, and another generation cometh: but the earth abideth for ever."
Today, God is on me and I shall speech on the fate of humanity. This is one cord that binds all of us together as earthly dwellers. Despite that, you can still transcendentally live beyond it.
That place says, "one generation passes away and another comes..." In all these, only one thing is sure - the earth abides for ever. The earth has neither being removed nor ended. It has rather witnessed a lot of, "power must change hands." The rotation of death and birth which happen only does by revolving round the stable earth. So, the earth is the orbit round which passing away and coming merry-go-round around. Since the inception of the earth, a cycle has been running round it. That's the fate of all human beings and all creatures. It is, "if it has beginning of existence; it must have cessation of existence." Why the use of the word, "cessation" and not "end" of existence? Cessation is the separation of the human spirit from its body on the earth realm. Since cessation of existence isn't the end of life (though end of life on earth), yet it fits using cessation and not end of life. End of life would mean no eternity (either in heaven or hell). Since individuals would therefore live on, it fits to use cessation.
When Shakespeare said, "all the world is a stage", he must have strayed in meditation towards this. It's indeed a stage because it has a door of entrance and a door of departure. It's these events that have been the fate of all humans. Always, "one generation passes away and another generation comes." Yet, the platform on which life begins and ends stays steadfast. If you're here currently, if you've been born; if you're currently reading this, it means "you've come." That you've come means "you must go" also. Over the years, men have devised means of staying here permanently or longer. Yet, all these devices of men and invention tend to obey a law of "one generation passes away and another generation comes yet the earth abides for ever." It's a rule of death and life. If you've been caused here, you must sure be deceased from here. Birth registers you on earth. It makes your star shine for visibility and identification in the realms. Whether you like it or not, at birth, you're numbered amidst God's creatures and His added responsibility here on earth (Psalm 8:4-6). Only death could testify to your star's disappearance. That removal will also bear testimony in heaven. When Jesus was born, his natal birth was seen (Matt.2:2). That star has been on motion from the time Balaam lived and prophesied it (Numbers 24:17). However, it came to stop journeying and found rest on the housetop of the house where Jesus was born (Matt.2:9).
I pray for you that your star won't yet fall. You've been born, may you endure. Only bear in mind that we've been numbered and then surrounded (Psalm 90:9-10). God has determined our bound. We can go far but not farther. We have existence limit.
In the time God has given you to live, make the best decision of being born again by receiving Christ into your life (John 3:16). After this, then live for the found will of God you were created for.
When Jesus came, he came with a duty and for a duty. That's to save His people from their sins and off course the whole world (Matt.1:21). You've not being sent here without a mandate also. What makes us to have used the earth is the fact that we live out our purposes. Whether you die at 29 like David Brainerd, 33 and half like Jesus, 70 like Watchman Nee, 90 like some men or 120 like others, ensure you do not go without doing the will of God on earth. You have no reason to therefore love the world if you're born anew. All that's in the world doesn't worth it (because it shall pass away). However, one thing is sure to abide and that's he who does the will of God (I John 2:15-17).
PRAYER: Lord, I receive You into my life and gives back my life to serve Your will on earth.
