In Alignment With the Kingdom of God

On a Journey of Discovery

by Vusi Kweyama

The Kingdom of God is the government of God, which is governed by rules and regulations. In the beginning, God created all things, subject to His will and His purpose.

However, we creatures have been given something called free will: the ability to make personal decisions that determine our individual destiny. Everything had been created perfectly in the beginning. However, because humankind began and continues to make wrong decisions, it finds itself in this current disappointing state.

It’s a given that God created man and woman — humankind — for a particular purpose within His kingdom. In his or her heart, every human being senses a purpose for which to live. That’s why we strive to become something unique and lead purposeful lives.

Unfortunately, some people try to achieve uniqueness and purpose through criminal activities; some try to make a lot of money with the hopes that financial gains will fill the gap; some become worshipers of all kinds of things in an attempt to give meaning to life; some contrive theories of evolution to justify their immoral and ungoverned lives.

Sadly, none of these people has found fulfillment. Those others who have found fulfillment have chosen to align themselves with the government of God, the creator of Heavens and the earth. The truth of the matter is that there’s a reason and purpose for our existence and it’s found in our Creator.

Those who've discovered similarly pursue more of it. In their pursuits, they've been transformed radically. Observers cannot comprehend what makes these transformed people live as they do. Having found God, the Creator, they're on a perpetual journey to discover more of who He is.

God's vastness is beyond comprehension. Some people embark on a journey and later give up because they can't live up to His standards, opting for easy, convenient ways to live their lives for themselves alone, instead of others.

Ironically, most of those who've lived their lives denying God's existence eventually acknowledge His existence when they find themselves on their death beds. There’s no denying it: We were all created for a purpose. It’s His purpose that “keeps us going,” striving to do what we feel we were born to accomplish, all thanks to the wonderment that we find in our Creator who helps us build and live our lives. This is not an abstract idea. It’s a truth that’s validated by our actions, namely, how we contribute on a daily basis to the betterment of society and creation in general.

If you read the manual (the Bible), you'll discover who He is and how and why He created you. You'll get to know Him, increasingly, and learn the right way to live your life.
