Dear brothers and sisters,
Everybody needs happiness in their life. For that they praying and working forit. We will be happy when we get a good job, good salary, good house, good life partner and good children. Some people always behind to making money only. But wealth will not give happiness in our life if we will not handle properly. Listen most of the riches in this world are living with out happiness or peace. The riches are always busy. They don’t have enough time to spend with their family so that they don't have happiness in their family life. And they don't have time to spend spiritual fellowship. So that they are spiritually weak and most of the rich people enable to eat according to their taste because the fear of their bloods pressure, diabetics, heart attacks etc. The wealth which they having certainly it is not giving them happiness.
Wife and husband are blessing to each other. Bible says, "The LORD GOD said, It is not good for the man to live alone. I will make a suitable companion to help him (Gen.: 2:18) But many husbands who do not love or care their wives and some are cruelly treating their wives. such husbands are not a blessing for their wives. Similarly some wives are disobedient and not loving their husbands. Some are deceiving their husbands and engage in adultery. Deffinitely such wives cannot be a blessing to their husbands. Such family life does not give happiness in their life.
Children are a blessing to their parents. Bible says, "Children are a gift from the LORD they are a reward from him"(Psalm: 127:3) If the children are obedient and GOD fearing they will be a blessing. But many parents who are living in deep sorrow because their children are disobedient and headache for them. Such children a curse to their parents. Such children are not giving any happiness to their parents.
We can see that some people possess things, but these things do not form a blessing to them. But there are people who possess and enjoy these things as a blessing. Then, what is a real blessing? How can it be possessed and enjoyed? Think it over, pray and achieve it. Jesus Christ says, " what good will be for a man if he gains the whole world, yet forfeits his soul? Or what can a man give in exchange for his Soul."(Mathew 16: 26)
Jesus asks what a person can give in exchange for his soul . It means, if a person could acquire everything in this world, but could not let his soul enter in to heaven, there was no merit for his worldly belongings and possessions. No person can enter into heaven in exchange of money. If a person really wants to be blessed , he should first seek God's kingdom and his righteousness. (Mathew6.33)
Jesus told "I tell you truth, no one can see the kingdom of God, unless he is born again'' [John 3:3]. We should consider the entry in to the kingdom JESUS told his disciples
''Whoever believes and is baptised will be saved but whoever does not believe will be condemned."[MARK 16: 16]. When a person live by seeking God's kingdom and his righteousness, GOD will write their names in the Book of Life. Bible says If anyone's name was not found written in the Book of Life, he will be throne into the lake of fire [Revelation 20:15] Whatever blessing a person has, such as strong financial setups, good wife or husband, good healthy children and a well known personality. They will be ended in a lake of fire, if his or her name does not appear in the book of life. Once JESUS told his disciples, rejoice that your names are written in heaven''.
The real happiness is to get name written in heaven.GILGAL GOSPEL CENTER,
