If ten people hold 10 flashlights in a dark room composing of about 100 people, what do you have? Illumination for everybody… The flashlight may not be bright individually but when their numbers increase and they work in unison, it might just be as good as one big bright light…
We live in a dark world filled with all manners of evil and wickedness, and man continually grope around in it… sometimes falling, sometimes walking uprightly and straight; sometimes he give up and sometime he hopes…but one thing that is constant all through these phases and experiences is an hunger for "A little of heaven".
He wants, from his innermost part of his being, an experience different from that daily confronts him, he desires an answer to the questions of life, of purpose both for the world and for his life, an answer for the questions science can never give with all its innovation and inventions…
No wonder man seeks extraordinary power from evil sources because sciences, wisdom of men, our ways and machination can never answer the questions in his life or show him anything different what this dark world has to offer.
But God in His infinite mercy gave us a solution in His son and graciously set us to give answer to man's questions. Not through the things man made or makes, but through the gifts of His spirit…
The gifts of the spirit are the medium through which heaven directly manifests in our world today… from word of wisdom to prophecy, to gift of healing, gift of faith and to others (1Cor. 13:7-10), man can be made to see a little of heaven.
No wonder the scripture says All of creation waits with eager longing for God to reveal his children. Rom 8:19(Good News). The creations wants a little more of heaven- the word from heaven, the light for their path, healing for the diseases science cannot heal, they want to understand what they cannot fathom…
Only us can give them their earnest desire and our Lord and Saviour has done His part, He gave us His Spirit and the Spirit releases His gifts has we yield. The challenge is
Will we yield so the we can show " A LITTLE OF HEAVEN". Let us pick up our flashlights and illuminate man's path to heaven.
Thank you,
