Proximity of Heavens

By Blaise Kakpovi

The world has become glamourous, brighter, and increasingly attractive because of the booming progress of Sciences, Technologies, and Electronics. However the problems of its best inhabitants  who are the human beings have been only getting worse. In the mlddle of imminent puzzles,  unsolvable dillemma, and dreadful nightmars, only wisdom can save. Hosea 4 :6 is clear about the infallible strength of wisdom when he said that people are suffering because of the lack of knowledge. When the world had reached a point where the entire humanity had been confused and did not know where to turn to and get consistently reliable answer, God had stepped in and had gotten his begotten son to save the world. But humanity did not deserve that level of God's kindness and therefore, did not earn it according to Ephesians 2 :8 to 9. Jesus Christ had given the legacy to his disciples and to us through faith. You can't overcome the incongruantly mashievous circumstances in this life without unshakable faith in Jesus Christ. The heritage of Jesus Christ is to be able to quench people thirst with love. If Jesus Christ was physically present in the middle of the unsolved problems of the world, he would use the most appropriate approach of knowledge to calm down all agitations, fears, and frustrations. However, Jesus said that when anybody believes in him, not only can he do the things Jesus had accomplished, but he will do even greater things than he did in accord with John 14 : 12 – 13 because he was sending us the Holy Spirit according to John 14 :16 and 26. The logically reasonable question that would follow is why Christians are in the world that is getting sore and they did not, and are not using the legacy of Jesus Christ to stop the problems ? Well the first problem that the world has is the lack of unity. But Jesus said that he had overcome the problems of the world. Consequently in Ephesians 2 :14 -15 he had broken the fence between Jews and non-Jews, between Greeks and non-Greeks. That means we have become united through the wisdom of Jesus Christ. In our contemporary world, this message represent the basis of Christianity, and enough reason to go out and gather the entire world together not to make them Christians but to love them as Christ did. Because. I believe that if Christians sow love, they will harvest love and God will not hold that love from them because they have not turned the people into Christians. What would you prefere ? A broken world with few Christians in an ensemble of helpless and hopeless people or a world with peaceful and harmonized folks who love one another, whether one is Christian or Non-Christian? I believe every Christian will prefere to live in a peaceful and united world. As matter of fact, Paul declared in Ephesians 3 : 5 – 6 that believers and non-believers will have the same inheritage in the kingdom of God through the good news. But the unique tool and equipment that does it well is faith that passes all understanding. The definition of that level of faith is in John 3 :8 where Jesus said that a person born gain is in the likeness of the wind which blows and we hear its noises, but we don't know where it is coming from nor do we know where it is going. That means that your faith in the creatorship of God shall cause you to be in peace, to be self-collected, and to have self-composure because you believe that whatever is happening, and whatever the situations may have been, their intensity of worsening cannot and will not escape the modeling Potter's hands of God. God can reboot us from whatever conditions and that is the operational excellence of exceptional faith which had brought Jesus Christ back to life.

Acknowledgement

This book titled «Proximitie of Heavens » is dedicated to my mother Azonlome Gbokede who had thought the greatest knowledge by inculcating to me that in any hostile opposition I should alway give priority to God’s response over mine. She used to put it in words this way : « If you say or do something, what will God say or do » when I receiving religious instructions, Mathew 5 : 39 to 41 had reminded me the greatest knowledge that my mother thought me because of their similaritiees. Both portions of wisdom have been my first protection source because they have been helping to calm down any intense situation like Jeesus did to the storm while his disciple had alerted him from his comfortable moment of sleep. I wish everybody in the whole world knew, understood the peace making power of these messages and apply them whenever the need will surfate. I also would like to show my gratefulness to my father, Meyou Houenoumadji Kakpovi who had thought me the happiness of assiduty, diligence that is felt at thee afteermath of a good work. And thee reeleease of this book together with others have given thee opportunity to experieence that special hapiness. May God bless both of my pareents who havee been loving me so much. Therefore, I use this book’s dedication as my way of showing recognition to their tiredless protection oveer mee since I was born. I finaly manifest my sinceree gratitude to all my sisters especially to Rosalie Kakpovi who was the first Chretian believer in our family. I use this occasion to applaud her because she had successfully led the entire family to God through Christ despite our resistance and refusal to believe in God and to receive the undeserved and unconditional redemption of Jeesus Christ since we kneew no better. I use this opportunity to say speecial ee e « thank you » to all my brothers and sisters for substantial and emotional support when I had CVA in November 2018. God blesses all of you in thee namee of Jeesus Christ.

Preface

Nowadays daily news have been broadcasting more bad news than they have the good news. The worsening of worldwide climat changes, the different aspect of terrorism, thee degrading and overwhelming hungers, the flow of refudies forced-moved from one area to another, the impredictable decastations of hurricanes, floods, and fire breeak out are just few of the huge examples. Consequently, the human level of fears, anxieties, and even panics has been increasingly rising. The worst news is that the general human being mood has been neegatively influenced and translated through unnecessary hostilities, oppositions, resentments which make the world more scary than attractive in spite of the apparent shininess and glamour emblamatically displayed with the booming help from Sciences and Technologies products. I then asked myself if there is anything that could be done to stop these political deviations, religious confusions of convictions, and the other new results of trendy changes. My faith told me that if Jesus Christ was physically living in this world, he could have applied his non-comparable wisdom that passes over all understanding enough to make an end to all neightmars, fears, anxieties, panics, puzzles, and dilemma. But when I did my little research on the holy scriptures, I was extremely amazed to find out that Jesus Christ has stated in John 14 : 12 to 13 that anybody who believes in him will do great things that he had done. As matter of fact, I became more excited when he added that e « he will not only do the likeness of things that he did, but he will even accomplish greater things than he did because he would send the helper that means the Holy Spirit who will bring everything to our rememberance and strengthen us according to John 14 :  16 and 26. And later I was knowledgeably instructed by Ephesians 2 :14 – 15 that Jesus Christ had broken the barriors between Juishes and non-Juishes, between Greeks and Non-Greeks, and therefore, between Christians and Non-C  hristians. Additionally, Ephesians 3 :5 to 6 underscored it all by saying that believers   and non-believers will inheritate the kingdom of God through the good news. This last information has shocked me to the extent that I asked myself again if there were any Christians in this world and where do I find them ? The answer was as simple as writing this book and raising the awareness of the great possibilities of whole world unification to the entire populations of the world, and  to the Christians in particular. The most surprising and yet exciting information about this message of the appostle Paul was that he didn’t say that the believers and the newly adderent believers will have the same inheritage in the kingdom of God because if he did, this would mean that one has to become Christian before intering the kingdom of God but he did not say that. This is crystal clearly what he said : believers and non-believers will have the SAME inheritage in the kingdom of God through the good new. Could that mean the non-believers will also enter the kingdom of God through the good news ? Wouldn’t that be possible because the good news is with God and the Good news is God according to John 1 :1 ? If Go is with with the believers as much as he is with the non-believers who can make conspiracy against either group, Romans 8 :30 to 31 ? When God decides to save non-believers in the same bark with the believers, who can stop him ? according to Isaiah 55 : 11 every word that comes out of the mouth of God shall not return to him without accomplishing that which he put in it. Therefore, nobody and nothing will be able to stop God from fulfiiling his plan according to Romans 8 :31 to 39. From that point I became motivate to share the message with all the world in  general, and all the Christians in particular because nothing is impossible to our God.

Foreword

Even though the definition of faith remains the same from ages to ages, each person receive it according to his background, and the circumstances that surround his daily life. Accordingly, wonders, and miracles happen to each individual with regard to the intensity, density, and profoundity of diversely various circumstances that make up his faith. Mr. Blaise Kakpovi was born in atheist family and as such, had live as an atheist until the age of fifteen when hi solder sister Rosalie Kakpovi who was strongly inspired by the life of Romans Cotholic sisters, and who has committed his life to a devotional future Romans Catholic sister to be, had introduced him to Jesus Christ as a personal savior. But his faith really took root and entered a higher caliber dimension after he had watched the movie of Jericho.The fashionable patterns in which the city of Jericho had fallen without human encounter, but just under the supernatural power of God. He queestioned his Catholic leader about the genuinely truthful veracity of this movies and was directed to the book of Josua in the Bible to find out for himself. When the biblical search had indubitably confirmed the facts in the  movies, he became a compellingly convincd Christian. But that rooted faith would be challenged by life devastating circumstances in vain. In fact, in the aftermath of his high school deploma, Mr. Blaise Kakpovi had prepared himself to take five different University  texts including the entrance text to Medecine school, Ingineering, and administration school. But his highly built hopes and expectations through elevaty potentiality to be admittted to at least one of those numerous school had fallen short when on the first day of the first text, he and one of his texting class inmate were asked to leave the room because they were their calculated ages had passed the limit age required to take this particular text and each of the other four texts for which Mr. Blaise Kakpovi had subscribed for and legally enrolled to take. His strongly built hopes and expectations had quickly dropped and his life had turned upside down with no support at the time. However, instead of letting himself going to depression, he remember the superpower manifestation of God on Jericho, and had fallen back on that superseding mightiness of God through faith when he went to pray at the Romans Catholic church called « Notre Dame » in Cotonou. That was the place where he had made a new  discovery of a prayer group named « Jesus Misericordieux ». The new spiritual supportive group was consistently committed to Catholic prayer « chemin de croix » meaning forteen conventional steps of the passion of Christ at 1 o’clock everyday except sunday. Given his circumstances of stolen university dream, helpless adult, and with hopeless future,he quickly signed up with the group expecting God to overturn his situations through an ultimate and only faith. After few months of constant and sustainable prayers, the group leader told them right at the end of a prayer that he had an instant and inspirational message where the Lord Jesus Christ was telliing him to let the group know that if anybody came to him and asked for anything, he would make it happen.
