FILL THE EMPTINESS by Joseph Aanuoluwapo Motunrayo
After
the fall of man in the Garden of Eden, there has been a vacuum, emptiness in
man that only eternity can fill. This however occurred as a product of man’s
volition to reject God’s SUPPLY OF ETERNAL LIFE, through the tree of life in
the midst of Eden.
Some
people, in their attempt to fill up this emptiness continue to chase after shadows
thinking temporal, ephemeral, and corruptible things can actually fill it up –
a similitude of man’s gain from his decision to work for a self-acclaimed rest,
which never worked and will never work out though. They therefore desired to
find a shortcut to fill up this emptiness; by accumulating wealth upon wealth,
they actually think money can fill up this emptiness but alas, the emptiness is
still there.
Some
even thought that marriage will fill up the emptiness, but to their
bewilderment, it only showed how empty they really are…they needed no prophet
to tell them that it’s not the solution they desired after countless break-ups
with no perfection in view.
It
is time for us to know that this emptiness can only be filled by Eternity, and
provision has been made for the filling; Christ (the one panacea for man’s
countless malady) has come to fill the emptiness and the earlier we believe the
better it is for us.
Trying to fill this
emptiness with carnality (things that
appeal to sight and sound of physical senses) is a waste of time. The only
solution is to accept Christ as your Lord and Savior, as His indwelling fills the
emptiness.
Happy
New Year
A year of fruitfulness
