CONTENTMENT
Proverbs 30:7-9.
7.There are two things, Lord,
I want you to do for me before I die :
8.Make me absolutely honest
and don’t let me be too poor or too rich.
Give me just what I need.
9.If I have too much to eat, I might forget about you;
If I don’t have enough,
I might steal and disgrace your name. (CEV).
The above Biblical reference states a part of the sayings and the message of Agur son of Jakeh. I find it most appropriate for the mindset towards the coming year 2021, the beginning of another decade, if Jesus Christ, our Lord and Saviour, tarries.
There’s need for the children of God to curb the insatiable appetite for ephemeral glitters. There’s an urgent need to think more about the hereafter more than ever before. What the whole world witnessed in 2020 in terms of wars, pestilences and natural and man-made disasters point towards the fulfillment of endtime prophesies; towards the second coming of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ.
It is time to ask God for the spirit of Contentment. It’s time to be thankful for God’s merciful provisions. It is time to stop impoverishing others, depriving people of their inheritance for personal aggrandizement. It is time to stop injustice and unrighteousness in all our undertakings. It is time to be our brothers’ keepers. It is time to meditate deeply and come to full understanding of the fact that excessive accumulation of unhealthy riches is vanity. It is time to stop the senseless violence and corruption that are obviously consuming the peace of the land.
It is time to come back to God in spirit and in truth. The end of everything is steadily and certainly getting closer. Of what use will be your obscene material accumulations if you die without Jesus Christ to lead you home? Of what use will be your political attainment if you miss heaven? Of what use will be your much vaunted anointing if you end up in hell-fire?
As we celebrate the end of the pandemic year, let us be sober, thankful and be more resolute in seeking God and aspiring to do His will. May the Holy Spirit guide and empower us to be heavenly bound, in the precious name of Jesus Christ.
God , empower me to be honest in all my dealings; help me to be fruitful in my labour and grant me the grace of contentment, in Jesus Christ’s name.
HAPPY NEW YEAR IN ADVANCE.
