What Do You Understand By The Term – ‘Universe’?

This morning, I was reading the Good Book, and some verses jumped at me. A particular verse in The Message translation seemed to be the highlight. It says- “Your life is a journey you must travel with a deep consciousness of God...”. Couldn’t get it off my head, hence, this article.

These days, we seem to refer to the unseen, as the Universe. In other words, in this age and time, the Universe can be said to be a term interchanged with the idea of being God. We believe the Universe has a strong role to play in determining the course of happenings on the earth, especially as a form of guiding force, or that which gives to people what they actively deserve (either through conducts, or through thoughts). So, if we believe the Universe exists, with Karma as one of its agents, don’t you think there would be something waiting after death?

How do you think we appeared on the earth? Via the Universe? If the Universe is the master of the world, one who determines people’s lot in life through their cooperation, don’t you think it would have plans for us after death, especially as creatures of wonder amongst all living things existing on the earth?

There is One, the Master, who sent us on earth as messengers. He gave us one thing while leaving – our freewill. It is with this freewill He would judge us with when we return back to Him. How do we return back to Him? Through death. With Birth, He released us to the earth to carry out His assignment as messengers; with death, we return back to Him for accountability and judgement.

Who amongst you would have a staff, send the staff on an errand and would have no interest in the report he/she brings back? Of course, there would be a filed report of things encountered and all, as well as how the resources given to the individual was spent. Such is life, especially life after death. It’s nothing deep as it were, only something natural. The same way you would want an account of time spent while your staff was away to the place sent (and backed with company’s resources), is the same way the One who made you and I desires, and deserves a report upon our exit through death.

I say this not to scare anyone, but to face us all with the truth we all fail to confront, all because death is a topic we consciously refrain ourselves from thinking, despite the fact that we all would die someday. An alternative to us not dying is the Master of the Universe Himself come to harvest the earth. it is the term referred to as Rapture….

Perhaps the main crux would be – how do we live a life that will produce a good account? I guess 1 Peter 1:18a (MSG) gives an idea – living with a reverent consciousness of God and allowing the thought to guide our actions. The thing is, being human, (especially such mentioned in Jeremiah 17:9) does not guarantee that, so what do we do? How do we make sure we subject our human mind to the consciousness of its Creator? We can do this by giving our freewill back to God. Why? Simply because the freewill is greater than us: it is such a powerful force that can drown us if we do not subdue it. If we get bent on using it ourselves, a lot of mistakes would happen. The use of our freewill can explain why we have a lot of violence in the world – everybody wants to be liberal in action, even when it hurts a fellow human being. You feel like pulling a gun, and you pull it. Why? – an unrestrained freewill. As a result, giving your freewill to the One who made it is a ‘sneaky’ way of ensuring it stays under control. Why? the One who made it already understands it, as a result, it would be easy for Him to guide us into using it, unlike if we are bent on using ourselves.

Another thing that could help is using the manual the One who gave us the freewill established on the earth. It is called the Good Book for a reason. As well, communicating with the Master who sent us constantly would help regulate our thought, as well as give direction to our mission, just like a staff sent on a mission away from the home office would have to keep calling the home office for guidance and report of status. The act of reporting while on earth is called prayer. It is the act of telling Him how things are exactly.

There are many lucky factors about our mission on the earth. One is the fact that the Master is always open to our reports, even if it’s not a too good report. He has made Himself reachable at all times for our sake, so we will not be stranded (Hebrews 4:16; Hebrews 13:5).

Another very lucky factor is that the Master has a Son who understands us perfectly. Because of the way He understands us through His own experience of humanity, He has chosen to be a link between us and our Maker, such that if we go through Him, more things would be released to us to effectively fulfil our mission, and as well, ensure a good report after death. One of the things we would have when we go through Him is the Spirit of Wisdom called the Holy Spirit. This Spirit would stay with us while on earth, and constant communication with Him and obedience to the things He tells us would ensure that we get all we need on this earth, including comfort for our life’s journey when we go through hard times and trials (which are all part of life).

The Son’s name is Jesus. All we need do is accept Him as the Lord of our lives, so through Him and the Power that has been given to Him through the Master, we can live a victorious life, a life worthy of report, such that would earn us a good place when we return back to our home office, which is Heaven.

Would end the discussion here. If at any time you crave for a discussion on this subject, it would be a pleasure to devote time to have the discussion together. My contacts are below, or we could engage in the comment section if you will.

Till I come your way next Wednesday by His Grace, it would help to keep thinking on issues of life, such as this. Until then, I appreciate you.
