What is mean to be Human?

Often you may come across or heard people saying be a Human or expressing their inward outcry by saying isn't there a humanity among people when witnessed the evil happenings in society.  it is postulated by folks that human is considered to be the sacred of all living beings but was never given a thought of what is meant to be a Human. Who can show the best example of human or the role model to point? In other words who has witnessed that person in this world and found to be the impeccable human being without flaws. If asked a generic question to people who is your role model, people may say SachinTendulkar,  or any famous celebrity from cinema industry, Politics, entrepreneur's etc..

 But folks has  failed to understand or think of the human benevolence. With my little understanding I hardly see a person who was praised and recognized by the society for the benevolence act in the society  besides Annai Theresa. Our country and world has recognized her work for the poorest of the poor and the sacrifice she made. No Christians was hardly recognized in this society after her, whilst there were many people who are living a sacrificial life which is camouflaged in this society. Graham steins came all the way from his comfort home land and burnt alive in orissa but none came or come forward to raise voice against the evil doers nor the society protested or demands the government for justice. But when nirbhaya was raped in delhi in the moving bus at midnight,  it caught the attention of whole country and  protest was heavily made demanding for justice at 2012 and the scars are left in society hearts till now.

I always wondered why there are only some death cases given the utmost priority and others are not. Who decides the sensitivity and priority, does the importance is given by the nature of death a victim may fall upon? If so how the types of death are classified.. If one is persecuted and tortured to death then is it considered to be the highest value in society. If that is so, aren’t we invoking a moral law in ones mind and heart which differentiate between good and bad/evil. Then it calls for a questioning what is good and what is bad/evil.  The good and bad needs to be differentiated by the basis of moral law, when we say moral law then we posit a moral law giver which is none other than the absolutes source one can end up.  And the moral law giver should have  no beginning or end which is none other than Jesus Christ.

If one needs to find a perfect Human being in this world then it is the lord our saviour Jesus christ who gave himself as a ransom for our sins to redeem us. Romans 3:10 says there is none righteous , no not one, there is none who understands;… There is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved. Acts4:12. if you want to understand what is meant to be human then the perfect example stands is Jesus Christ. Read the bible before you preconceive something and draw to a judgment . Oh taste and see that the lord is good !

99 Fools & 1 Wise Man

This generation likes quantity and not the quality, likes the temporary solution and not the permanent, likes the appearance and not the virtue, wanted to be rich and never longs for peaceful life etc.. We fail to understand the consequences of every choice we make. The ripple effect of the choices will terribly exploit our future generation.  It is not suffice for one person to be honest and wise but need to bring all those into our shadow by preaching/educating them through awareness. That’s why Jesus said; go preach to all nations about the gospel which is good news. What is good news that’s the question and how to preach? There are many ways people would get influenced in this society, the current trend is media and entertainment has heavily possessed the thoughts and minds of the people, not allowing them to think outside the specific context.

Seeing and hearing are the highest impact source of medium, one can choose to exhort people through writings, personal dialogue or through conventional meetings  but the current post modernism world do not want to be exhorted, so it is good to lead them into the right direction or to the truth by living a model life of goodness. Here comes the next question what is goodness and who define it? The present world is a very counterfeit culture and everyone has the rights to comment. If you see the social medias are inundated with lots of information. So you could see piles of information inflation through the social media and entertainment and other various forms where people are loaded with tons of information on every field not knowing the foundation or the beginning of the subject. But they tend to talk and advise people one another through the accumulation of knowledge. This shows the lack of wisdom where they invoke knowledge or apply knowledge in wrong areas and timings. Time and again it was proved that wisdom is the one which will guide where to apply and invoke the knowledge. Nowadays people are knowledgeable but heavily lack wisdom and thus jeopardizing the society.

If you see through the magnifying glass to read the every thoughts of people,  it would unfolds they do not have the subject knowledge but their understanding are based on blind faith. For example a person living in a urban area will comment about the NASA scientist that he is wrong and doesn’t know anything. The present culture does not give the permission of the author of a book to interpret but take it for their own rights to interpret and understand.

A scoffer seeks wisdom and does not find it, but knowledge is easy to him who understands. Go from the presence of a foolish man, when you do not perceive in him the lips of knowledge. The wisdom of the prudent is to understand his way but the folly of fools is deceit.

Isn't it imperative to know that we live in a world where the majority chose the broader way and fewer choose the narrow way as said by Jesus Christ? The earth and sky will be passing away but his words will never. What if there are 99 fools and 1 wise man living in a city, wouldn’t that city call him as a fool of the fools .so it is the need of the hour to understand the differentiation of fool & Wise, Knowledge & Wisdom and how are it is being measured? Only when we are on the side of dependency of truth we tend to speak right else distractions are there to deviate and get deceived.

 It’s time to ponder on the truth ?

You shall know the Truth and the truth shall set you free!! - Jesus Christ.

Justice and Moral Rights

Off late people were running under shock and thrown into chaos on the sudden announcement of banning the Indian currency notes for ceasing the Black money and corruption. It was told that this movement was enlisted as a surgical Demonetization. But how do the country and other nation see this Ban? Majority of the Indians and other nations waved a positive signal in favour of the government.

It’s been said that the RBI revenue has significantly increased to 33,000 crores in a week time. And also it would help prevent the stalled money from drug dealers, landlords, exorbitant interest lenders and terrorist. Expert opinions are studied, analysed and implemented according to the reporters, however also some sources say that there is an inefficient back out plan imposed and people had to run back to their old life style.

I was wondering how difficult it became now for the people to get back to old life style after being used to the technological world survival. There were days were people had to wait in the queue system to withdraw money from banks and all the expenditure was done through cash system and less of electronic transaction. After getting adapting to the 21^st century technological lifestyle, people find it difficult to go back to old pattern of living.It would be always difficult to earn the good name back of all what you have earned and lost it, likewise we find it hard to go back to old pattern of life style after living in a comfort zone of 24/7 ease.

Heb 6-4 says It is impossible for those who have once been enlightened, who have tasted the heavenly gift, who have shared in the Holy Spirit,  who have tasted the goodness of the word of God and the powers of the coming age  and who have fallen away, to be brought back to repentance. It interprets as impossible, but there is nothing impossible with god says in Luke 1:37. To my understanding

 Whilst the aim of the government seems to be good to impasse the black money and corruption, it is inevitable to have a clean country unless we remove the root of the problem which is by accepting Jesus Christ as a personal saviour. There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way of death- prov14. If at all our moral rights and justice aren’t drawn from the source of absolutes it is impossible to have a clean nation and one good example is - the recent news says that the new currency of 2000 rupees was captured from the terrorist in Jammu and Kashmir during the fight between our soldiers and terrorists.

What causes poverty? Does corruption causes poverty or poverty causes corruption? Peter Eigen the chairman of the Transparency Index council said in 2002 that the country was lead to poverty because of corruptive politicians. As per 2014 corruption free country list which is ranked on the scale of 0(highly corrupt) -100(very clean). Our country is placed in 85th position.

It is highly impossible to lead the nation into justice and aim for the clean country when the politicians, leaders are above the law, they are the one who impose judgement, write the laws, amend it and does everything, and it is the dictatorship rule.

In-order to lead the nation to have a clean and morally good country they need to ask of wisdom from god as Solomon asked - Give me now wisdom and knowledge that I may go out and come in before this people: for who can judge this thy people that is so great?

It is only not the leaders but every citizen of this country to maintain integrity and pay taxes and not as evaders. There is no use of giving tithe regularly and evading taxes to the government for which god is not well pleased.

The Lord’s Coming is Near – Repent, Today is the day of salvation. Our God is always a god of second chance and so on.

Politician

An old superstition from the east encourages parents to predict their child’s future. Folk wisdom suggests that while the child is still a toddler, the parent should place on a table within the child’s reach, a bottle of wine, some money and a Bible. If the little one walks up to the table and picks up the bible, he will follow a spiritual vocation, possibly the priesthood. If he picks up the bottle of wine then hedonism is in the cards. If he picks up the money, he will probably become a business person or an entrepreneur.

The story is told of a new father, eager to plan for his son’s future who administered the test. He carefully positioned the three objects on the coffee table, watching eagerly what the little boy would do with them. The little guy walked up to the table, surveyed everything and slowly reached out his hand for the bible. Then he paused and picked up the money as well, placing it in the bible, finally he tucked the bible under one arm, took the bottle of wine in the other hand, and toddled off with all three, struggling to maintain his balance. The little boy’s grandfather stood over to the side, silently watching the whole scene unfold. When he saw the dismay on his own son’s face, he said, this is bad news. He is going to become a politician. We chuckle at a story like this because we tend to be quite skeptical about the men and women who inhabit the world of Politics. – (extracted from RZIM)

But what made our thinking to doubt about the politician, is political a Bad Job or God is not pleased with it? The present condition of our country is very bad as everywhere you see corruption, insecurity, injustice. The transparency indexing council chairman once said the country leads to poverty because of corrupt politician and they are above the law. The citizens of the country also play a trivial part of the corruption which enables the politician to enjoy lavish lifestyle while the rest are going to bed every day hungry. If at all a citizen come and raise their voice against the corrupt government he shall go disappear sooner or later.

Paul writes to Romans in 13^th chapter - Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God. God perhaps allow certain things to happen in our life, society, country according to his purpose. It is in his ultimate will to make things let happen. My view is that a Christian can get involved in political activities or play a role to bring a reformation in society, but pragmatically it is going to be a tougher task to handle in the current society without compromise. The world says every good product comes with expensive price. If one wants to lead a life pleasing to god it takes complete surrender and sacrifice without expectations and ready to take the loss as profit. 

Silence OR Peace

I hear often people says that whenever they enter the religious place a church, temple or a mosque they feel peace in their hearts and if you get deep under for the real hunger of search for the truth, one’s heart would answer that it is not the peace, it is the silence which they observe and felt. I would always answer them it is not the peace they feel or witnessing, it is the absence of sound which stimulates their feelings and temperaments based on the environmental situation.

You do not need a great philosophical mind to comprehend and quench this hunger. It is really fascinating to know the honest answers only when there is a real hunger for truth. Empirically it is known that only very few has real hunger for truth, this society is looking for immediate remediation rather for a permanent solution which eventually pushes them to hypocritical life and depraved minds.

During a casual conversation with my colleague she said, visiting holy land Israel and Jesus Tomb caused goose bumps at the moment - all they’ve witnessed and experienced is the fading joy which won’t last longer, in fact the society is only after the fading joy and happiness. Peace is not something which fills in your heart through the world ecological system. One would not need to run here and there to find peace, as GOD is omnipresence; his presence is everywhere and can see through all hiding factors where human mind can think of.

He is the only person who can guarantee you peace amidst wherever you’re located and you do not need a building or a historical monuments or renowned religious land or building to pursue after or indulge in solitude. If at all you say a prayer and read through the scriptures you will experience the real peace and Joy and my dear friends you can choose to try this please.

 We fail to see the everlasting joy which Jesus has promised to us – NLT says "I am leaving you with a gift--peace of mind and heart. And the peace I give is a gift the world cannot give. So don't be troubled or afraid. Here it says world cannot give that peace and only he HIMSELF can give that and protect from fading.

Someone said PEACE IS NOT THE ABSENCE OF PROBLEM BUT IT IS THE PRESENCE OF GOD amidst troubles.  You will always get either one of the answer on every home you knock in this world that - they had come across problems or living with problems.

These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.

If at all you need peace in this world amidst your problems please read the gospel Book of John and you will find the truth and real joy. The Holy Spirit, who is the comforter, comforts you and guide all through your life.

God Bless!
