2. ETERNITY IN THEIR HEARTS
I have seen the God-given task with which
the sons of men are to be occupied. He
has made everything beautiful in its time.
Also He has put eternity in their hearts,
except that no one can find out the work
that God does from beginning to end.
I know that nothing is better for them than
to rejoice, and to do good in their lives and
also that every man should eat and drink
and enjoy the good of all his labor—
it is the gift of God.
Ecclesiates 3:10-12 NKJV
3. PROMISETO ABRAHAM — GEN 12:1-3
Now the Lord had said to Abram:
“Get out of your country,
From your family and from your father’s house,
to a land that I will show you.
I will make you a great nation;
I will bless you and make your name great;
And you shall be a blessing.
I will bless those who bless you, and I will curse him who curses you;
—————————————————————————————————
And in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.”
4. –The Apostle Paul Acts 17:23-25 NKJV
Therefore, the One whom you worship without knowing,
Him I proclaim to you: God, who made the world and
everything in it, since He is Lord of heaven and
earth, does not dwell in temples made with hands. Nor
is He worshiped with men’s hands, as though He needed
anything, since He gives to all life, breath, and all things. ”
5. –The Apostle Paul Acts 17:26-27 NKJV
“And He has made from one blood every nation of
men to dwell on all the face of the earth, and has
determined their pre-appointed times and the
boundaries of their dwellings, so that they should
seek the Lord, in the hope that they might grope
for Him and find Him, though He is not far from
each one of us; ”
6. –The Apostle Paul Acts 17:28 NKJV
“for in Him we live and move and have our being, as
also some of your own poets have said,‘For we are
also His offspring.’ ”
7. Many People Groups kept alive
the memory of a benevolent
Creator God. Many yearned to
find a way to reconnect with the
True God. There were even
prophets in some of these people
groups who foretold how God
would bring strangers to tell them
how to reconnect with Him.
8. THE SANTAL - SEEKING RE-CONNECTION
In 1867 Norwegian missionary Lars Skrefsrud and colleague Hans Borrreson
found a 2.5 M people group called the Santal living north of Calcutta, India.
When they explained the gospel, man named Kolean exclaimed:“ What this
stranger has been proves that Thakur Jiu has not forgotten us. Our forefathers
knew Him long ago.” Lars asked: “Since you know about Thakur Jiu, why don’t
you worship Him?”
For centuries uncounted, Santal children hearing their parents explain “Oh, if only
our forefathers hadn’t made that grievous mistake! We would still know Thakur
Jiu today! But as things stand, we’ve lost contact with Him. He has probably
written us off as unworthy people and won’t have anything more to do with us
because our forefathers turned their backs on him at that long ago crisis in the
mountains!”
9. CREATOR GOD AND PEOPLE GROUPS
There are records that the Chinese worshiped the Creator God Shang-Ti “Lord of
Heaven” as far back as 2,600 years before Christ came to earth as a man. Sadly,
eventually His worship was limited to only the the Emperor and only once a year.
Warrasa Wange of Gedeo people in south-central Ethiopia. Warrasa cried to to
Magano the Creator to reveal himself once more to the Gedeo. They had fallen
away from Magano and sacrificed to Sheit’an (whom they feared and did not love)
instead. In a vision,Warrasa saw two white men erect flimsy shelters for themselves
under the shade of a long sycamore tree near Dilla. Later they build permanent,
shiny-roofed structures. Then he heard a voice:“These men will bring you a message
from Magano, the God you seek. Wait for them.” In the final scene of this vision,
Warrasa saw himself removing the center pole from his own house. Then he carried
the center pole out of town and set it next to the shiny-roofed dwellings of the
strange men.
12. –The Apostle Paul Acts 17:26-27 NKJV
“And He has made from one blood every nation of
men to dwell on all the face of the earth, and has
determined their pre-appointed times and the
boundaries of their dwellings, so that they should
seek the Lord, in the hope that they might grope
for Him and find Him, though He is not far from
each one of us; ”
