PARABLE OF LIFE ON EARTH

Have you ever asked yourself: "What is the primary responsibility of humanity on earth?"

When we reflect deeply on Jeremiah 29:4–14 with eternity in mind, one answer becomes clear:

The ultimate purpose of life on earth is to seek and find God.


We are here to journey back to Him. Without finding Him, everything else becomes meaningless, a wasted lifetime. For there is no peace in a future without Him, only despair.

A PARABLE IN SCRIPTURE

Our time on earth is limited. Like Judah in captivity in Babylon, our lives on earth can be seen as a parable.

God’s promise of heaven is for everyone, but we must fulfill the days appointed for us here first. At this time, our responsibility is clear:

  • Seek God and His kingdom.

  • Grow spiritually in Him.

  • Multiply heaven’s citizens by winning souls.

As we live, we must work for peace, for in that peace, heaven’s kingdom increases.

IT’S THE DIVINE DESIGN

God’s plan is for heaven to grow from the earth. We are called to increase spiritually and in righteousness while still here.

"But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you." (Matthew 6:33)

Our highest priority is to seek God’s kingdom and righteousness.

THE WAY OF GOD

To reach heaven, one must find God while on earth. Those who fail to find Him face a different destiny—a separation from Him in eternity. But this is not God’s plan for you.

Jesus made this plain:

"I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me." (John 14:6)

This is the way to eternal peace and joy in heaven.

THE ULTIMATE HOPE

Ask yourself:

  • Does your future end with life on earth?

  • Is your hope only for this life?

The Apostle Paul reminds us:

"If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men the most pitiable." (1 Corinthians 15:19)

True hope exists both in this life and the next, but only for those in Christ. The journey of seeking, finding, and obeying God is always worth it.

BELIEVE WITH ALL YOUR HEART

For those outside of Christ, the future holds no hope—only separation from God. But escaping that fate is simple:

Believe in your heart and confess with your mouth that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. Acknowledge that He died for your sins and was raised for your righteousness. Declare Him as Lord and Savior.

Then, commit to living as a citizen of heaven on earth. This decision transforms your eternal destiny.

In conclusion, our eternal future and hope are secure only in Christ. "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God... but Christ in you is the hope of glory." (Romans 3:23; Colossians 1:27). It is a matter of choice. Choose Christ today and live for Him, ensuring a future filled with peace, hope, and eternal joy.

Giving That Honors God

Giving That Honors God Restoring the Biblical Priority of Caring for the Poor Rediscovering God's Heart Through Our Offerings - By Nicholas Uanikhoba Introduction: A Call for Scriptural Balance In many churches today, teachings on giving often focus on ideas like “sowing into ministries” or planting “seeds of faith.” Yet these messages can easily become detached from the real and immediate needs of the poor. While it’s entirely biblical to support ministries, it’s troubling that giving to the poor — which Scripture so directly connects to the heart of God — is often neglected. The Apostle Paul provides a much-needed corrective. Contrary to popular belief, many of Paul’s teachings on generosity — especially in 2 Corinthians chapters 8 and 9 — were not about funding his own ministry, but rather about raising relief for suffering believers, particularly those in Jerusalem. Understanding these texts in their original context brings us back to the biblical center. 1. Paul’s Com...

Leadership and the Power of Covenants: Lessons from Saul, David, and the Gibeonites

Whether in government, business, or ministry, true leadership requires  wisdom, integrity, and a deep sense of responsibility.  Every decision made by a leader  creates a ripple effect , sometimes impacting future generations in ways unseen at the time. The story of  King Saul’s broken covenant and its consequences  in  2 Samuel 21:1-7  offers  powerful leadership lessons . It reveals how  poor leadership choices—whether made in zeal or ignorance—can bring lasting repercussions .

Spiritual Etiology: Tracing the Root of Bitterness

Spiritual Etiology: Tracing the Root of Bitterness Uncovering the Hidden Cause of Division and Defilement By Nicholas Uanikhoba “Pursue peace with all people, and holiness, without which no one will see the Lord: looking carefully lest anyone fall short of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up cause trouble, and by this many become defiled.” – Hebrews 12:14, 15 (NKJV) What Is Spiritual Etiology? In medicine, etiology is all about tracing where a disease started. Now, imagine looking at our spiritual lives the same way—tracking down the roots of inner and relational struggles. Bitterness isn’t just a fleeting emotion. Scripture describes it as a root—hidden, slow-growing, but eventually powerful enough to wreak serious havoc. Like any root, it does its damage underground before its effects ever surface. And when it does, it brings conflict, chaos, and even spiritual contamination. That’s the essence of spiritual etiology: peeling back the layers to find whe...
