WHAT EVERY BELIEVER NEEDS TO KNOW*
One of the causes of powerlessness amongst believers is that we celebrate the DELIVERANCE of what we were called from more than we acknowledge the DUTIES of what we have been called to!
The entire testimony of scriptures shows us that the faith once delivered unto the saints didn’t motivate them to want to go to heaven...it motivated them to draw heaven to the earth...till the earth wasn’t worthy of them...
They spent their lives and times familiarizing with kingdom dynamics...the way of royalty...the protocol of Him who sits on the throne...
We’ve not be predestined to “make heaven” we’ve been predestined to “conform to the image of Christ”...Jesus is our true destination...(Rom 8:29)
When the reason for your “holiness” is to escape hell...the glory of your lifestyle on earth will never reflect the strength and beauty of heaven!
But when the reason for your Holiness is Christ living through you...the glory of your lifestyle on earth will reflect the strength and beauty of heaven - PURE LOVE!
This is the heart of God for His church!!!
You can go to heaven and still suffer loss...(1 Corinthians 3:15)
You can go to heaven without fulfilling your calling on earth...
You can go to heaven without even been intimate with the father in your time on earth...
You can go to heaven and discover that you did everything here for the wrong reasons...
The church is filled with people with a “must go to heaven mentality” but lacking people with a “heavenly mindset”...this is why there’s much difference between us and the lord and little difference between us and the world!
Make up your mind today to be as concerned with your eternal reward as you’re concerned with your eternal residence
Set your hearts on things above so that your actions will reflect it here on earth...(Col 3:1-4)
Be imitators of God!!! (Eph 5:1)
Let your life be marked by the fruit of the spirit (Gal 5:22-23)
“...make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; and to godliness, mutual affection; and to mutual affection, love. For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.But whoever does not have them is nearsighted and blind, forgetting that they have been cleansed from their past sins.” (2 Peter 1:5-9)
“Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things”. (Phil 4:8)
God’s goal isn’t that you go to heaven when you die...it’s that you live from heaven while you’re alive!!!
