Remember Now Your Creator



REMEMBER NOW YOUR
C R E A T O R !

The greatest work on earth, is to know the purpose,
Of your call and respond to it promptly,
All other activities are just accessories,
That helps you achieve your goal, your response;
Even spending 90% of your time on material needs
Is an error; you were given an exercise.
The most important for now,
And it’s to be marked in the next life.
It says “remembers now your creator!”
Eccl 12 v 1
Episodes are coming in your life,
Where your strength diminishes.
It’ll not be reversible, remember even strong men
will Bow and great trees will wither,
Where lies the strength of man?
For that matter, anything you want to do,
Do it now when you have the strength.
Else you will call back the strength one day
And it will not respond; “had I know”-you will say.
And you may not have any soul to present before God!
Eccl 9 v 10

Hours and days will hand over to weeks and months,
And then years will file out like ants in queue!
When will you start to be a devout?
When will you start winning souls for Christ?
Will you make it at 30, or 50? Or 100 is OK?
Those times spent at jams are among those fading,
Those used “chilling” shall never come back.
Not even those used chatting, gossiping, arguing…!
The strength used in those acts is also passing,
Which is also vanity of vanities!
Eccl 12 v 5-6

That good voice, why not used for God?
Should you allow it to shrink before you
Realize you have a good talent?
Remember if you can’t use it some one could.
If you won’t, note someone needs it but doesn’t have.
And if you will refuse to praise God with it,
He will design someone else to do so.
It will be to your detriment,
Hear the conclusion of all matters,
Fear God and keep His commandments!
Eccl 12v13

Sin in its own garment is bitter.
When you are in the spirit, you see it as a rotten,
Smelling, sour juice! In fact it’s an eye-saw.
But when you are in the flesh, it looks like gold.
Satan camouflaged it that way,
Else, people will distaste it and he will not get anyone,
To perish together with him!
Bible warns you to be wise; as wise as the serpent, Else you will be enjoying poison,
While all you think is “its a meal”

Let’s take this scenario! If someone wants to kill you
With a poison, will he give you the poison in the bottle
saying, “take and eat, I want to kill you?
Absolutely no!
He will surely add the poison to your favourite food,
And probably invite you for dinner . Won’t he?Yes he’ll!
As you eat he also eat, he may have taken an antidote.
You eat and smile, not knowing its poison,
Perhaps, you ask for more!

So is this issue, Satan has designed interests for youth
In such a way that, there are poisons in things
They may claim there are enjoying now!
They are defiled with lusts of the flesh
But all they know is ‘its enjoyable’
Even if it does not contain toxins, Satan can add ‘a
Flavouring poison’, which will even highlight its taste,
And you eat and laugh; you enjoy and smile;
You get intoxicated and die.

“Some types of music now on our screens are poisons,
But say this and see if someone won’t argue!
Believe it or not, the truth is always bitter.
Some contraceptives are also driving us into darkness.
Let me not hasten to add pornographies yet,
But I will talk about some attire women adorn
Themselves with, which are not only poisons to
Them alone, but also to men
Who are caught in the snares of attraction too!”

Remember you are whom you are,
Colour of your skin, hair, your beauty are vanity.
But when you fear God, praise awaits you!
There is no need of trying to be extra-ordinary
In your appearance. Is there any need?
I mean, to emerge out of the usual rank
To a level to be seen as the best glittering.
Why can’t you be normal in everything?
You need only a simple life, to fly to eternity!
Prov. 31 v 30, 31

Don’t forsake the assembly of godly people,
Be it your campus fellowship, church service.
They are meant for your ‘build-up’
As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens
The countenance of the other.
Even if you fall, it takes someone to lift you up
It’s so, when someone too falls,
It can take you to lift this fellow,
Therefore Brethren, don’t withdraw,
Else you harm yourself and someone too,
For your absence among the gathering.
Heb 10 v 25

Two things face you, for you to choose between.
It’s God and Satan, only one is needed, not two.
You can be on God’s side when He says ‘go’
And you ‘go’. He says ‘don’t’ and you ‘don’t’
Or when Satan say ‘do’ and you ‘don’t’
And he says ‘don’t’ and you ‘did’- its an instruction
That you must as a guide.
The grace of our Lord be with you, Amen!
