Set your mind and keep focused habitually on the things above [the heavenly things], not on things that are on the earth [which have only temporal value]. Colossians 3:2 AMP.
Everyone you see today or you know, is going to live forever, either in heaven with God or in hell with the devil.
The gate of the church is opened for everyone but the gate of heaven is only opened for the qualified. Revelation 21:27.
There is no any safe place anywhere except in the Kingdom. One moment you hear of war, another moment you hear of earthquakes, another moment again you hear of kidnapping. These shows that there is no safe place anywhere. You can only secure exemption while on earth and in eternity. Heaven is the only safe place; Heaven is the only secured place.
Hell is the final destination for any unrepentant sinner, while heaven is the final destination for everyone who is in Christ, living holy and doing His will.
It’s good to make plans but make eternally and kingdom base plans, make heavenly plans. C. S Lewis said all that is not eternal is eternally useless”
Many are working hard to meet the requirements of the mundane things but not too many are working hard to meet the requirements and the demands of kingdom of heaven. Don’t focus too much on mundane things of this world, there are only meant to appear for a while, in just a twinkle of an eye, it will all turn to ashes.
It will be a disaster to face crisis on earth and also face a worse crisis in eternity. The only safe place is in the kingdom and it is only those that overcame by the blood of the lamb will make it there. The road is narrow but it can contain as many people as possible that want to pass through it.
If people are clapping for you and the hosts of heavens are not clapping, then there is a need for a serious adjustment and spiritual self-examination.
In God’s eyes, the greatest heroes of faith are not those who achieve prosperity, success, and power in this life, but those who treat this life as a temporary assignment and serve faithfully, expecting their promised reward in eternity. Never focus on temporary crowns. Give it time, one day it will be thrashed by someone else. Rick Warren.
When you get to heaven, you would be glad the day you accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, you would be glad the day you were given bribe and you refused, you would be glad the day you have the opportunity to commit fornication, adultery, all kinds of immoralities and you refused. You would be glad the day you had the opportunity to lie and you told the truth. You would be glad the day you decided to live holy and walk in love.
Anything you do that does not count in heaven is not worth doing. God is the only substance that’s worth living for. The day of the Lord will come unexpectedly like a thief in the night.
But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will melt with fervent heat; both the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up. 2 Peter 3:10 NKJV.
Beloved, the reason why you have another chance today is for you to do a check up and make a review of your life maybe your ways are right before the Lord or not, so that you can quickly make the necessary amendment and also help others to walk in the way of the Lord.
The best time to prepare for eternity is not tomorrow because nobody knows tomorrow and tomorrow may never come, the best time to prepare for eternity is now!
And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed. The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light. Romans 13:11-12.
Have the rapture in focus. Live every day as one expecting the Master; carry that consciousness in your heart at all times. Walk in love, walk in righteousness, walk in holiness. And while you’re getting yourself ready, help those around you to get ready as well by preaching and teaching them God’s Word.
Jesus saves, Jesus loves you!
