Pst. E.A. Adeboye 20 December
NOISY BUT PEACEFUL
Memorise: And out of the throne proceeded lightening and
thundering and voices: and there were seven lamps of fire burning before the
throne, which are the seven spirits of God. Revelation 4:5
Read: Exodus 19:16-18
John the Beloved said out of the Throne of God was lightning,
thundering and voices. And out of the throne proceeded lightnings and
thunderings and voices: and there were seven lamps of fire burning before the
throne, which are the seven spirits of God. Revelation 4:5
If you have studied God's presence in the Old Testament, these
would not be strange to you. For instance when God was to give the Israelites
the Ten Commandments in Exodus 19:9-18, these were present together with smoke,
a thick cloud and earthquakes. Heaven is also a very noisy place. Some people
think that when they get to Heaven, it will be such a calm, quiet place. Sorry
to disturb your ideology. If you are looking for such a quiet Heaven, you may
have to manufacture one. God's Heaven is noisy, very noisy but peaceful. It is
also perfect. If Heaven is noisy then the church should not be like a grave
yard. Anywhere that is always cold, cannot accommodate our God. If you are full
of life, you cannot be quiet for too long. Are you bubbling with the life of
Heaven?
In addition, John saw a sea of glass like crystal. In the Bible,
the word sea is often used to connote human beings. If it is a restless sea, it
presents the true picture of human beings. But the sea before the Throne of God
was at rest, with no storms. Bible scholars have interpreted this as the
picture of all saints, all dressed in white, at rest before God. When we get to
Heaven we will have no more problems. There will be no more power outage, no
accident, nothing that causes sorrow. In Heaven, you will enjoy true and
eternal peace. That doesn't mean that all you will be doing will be to sleep.
No. When you know God's nature that He is very hard-working and that there is
no lazy person in Heaven, you can be sure everyone will be busy doing one thing
or the other. Working conditions under the Most High God in the greatest planet
- Heaven is truly incomparable with the best that earth has to offer. You must
make it to Heaven!
KEY POINT
The noise in Heaven does
not disturb its serenity, peace and progress but adds to them.
