There are many things that take our mind, time and attention and we seem to be overtaken by them. There are many things that we have hope in. “If I achieve this I would have got it. If I get this, I will be there.” No. You need to know something, those things may take too much of you but they may not love you the way you love them. But there will be Someone Who will constantly monitor you. His Name is Jesus Christ.
You began the journey; He knew it before you knew it. He determined the course of your journey and the time you will spend and the things you will need for that journey. He said, “Friend, I Am not a dictator, I give you the right. I Am always there to help you so that when you succeed, you may enter eternity.
“And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or lands, for My Name’s sake, shall receive a hundredfold, and inherit Eternal Life.” (Matthew 19:29)
Mark that: His Name’s sake, shall receive a hundredfold. It means you will have them and inherit Eternal Life. He has said, For His Name’s sake you are living to make sure that His Name is Glorified. We carry His Testimony. Each one of you carries His Testimony. When God glorifies Himself in your life with any testimony; His Name is glorified and blessed; and there will be those who will come and speak against His Name.
If you listen to garbage, the strength of your faith will be eaten up. Like it or not, you will be like a house whose foundation is eaten by ants. Any wind that will blow will put you down.
So, we are careful that there is a Name we glorify. As someone is glorifying satan, demons, you say, “I have power over them, I cast them out.” As someone says, “they do miracles,” you say, “I have power over them, in the Name Jesus Christ.”
He says, “And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or lands, for My Name’s sake,” mark this: “Shall receive a hundredfold.”
God will test you through your situations and see whether you deserve to have eternity, not these things, but eternity. Whether you qualify for His Name’s Sake. God is Real. We do not worship Him like something facetious. He wants your personal relationship and He knows His own will stand, come rain come storm.
“My sheep hear My Voice, and I know them, and they follow Me. And I give them Eternal Life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My Hand.” (John 10:27-28)
Meaning no situation, no words will snatch them away from Him. Because they only hear His Voice. There was a lot of talk about Jesus Christ. “He is with the prostitutes, He is with the tax collectors, He is using demons…” They spoke a lot of garbage and opened up cases that were fake, that He was causing people to rebel against the king. But His disciples were never taken up by those accusations. There was a time when His teaching became so heavy that many deserted Him, but His disciples stayed connected.
So, friend, when you begin this journey of Salvation, it is like a flight, you do not say, “I am getting out.” When you are in there, you hang in there because there will be moments of challenges but their intention is to strengthen you. To make you stronger than you are. So, challenges come and God uses them to give you Eternal Life if you overcome them.
There will be words that will be spoken by the children of the beast and the dragon, by the anti-Christ, they will speak anything just to discredit the Name of Jesus Christ but as a child of God, you say, “All I know, there is a Man called Jesus Christ, He overcame.”
You have to be true, so that one calls us to a personal relationship. Having your Bible, sitting down, reading it, meditating, having the Word in you and walking by it. And in the spirit, clearing your way every day. When you make one mistake, do not continuously do it, clear your way. One day, you will get there.
When you fall, you do not condemn yourself, you say, “I am up!” Because you may be in a hard situation, then in your heart you feel you are moving into grumbling, immediately say, “satan, come out of me.” You are thinking, “How do I survive? Things seem to be hard.” And the enemy brings evil whispers, you say, “No, go away from me you satan.” You rebuke him. In your heart you are conscious of your relationship with Jesus Christ. But that consciousness will come if truly you spend your time before Him.
Read the Word. Meditate upon It. Take that Bible as a Golden Thing. When I am somewhere where there is no Bible I feel unsafe. I feel very uncomfortable and I do not want it on the phone, I want the written Bible nearby somewhere.
So, my mission is to tell you that Jesus Christ is LORD; and He wants you personally. Have a moment everyday just to be before Him quietly, without grumbling in your heart, without anxieties, forgetting about your challenges in His Presence. You will see how life changes for real. At the end of the day, you get what they call Eternity. Your life continues even when it seems to have stopped, it continues, because Eternity is knowing God.
“And this is Eternal Life, that they may know You, the only True God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent.” (John 17:3)
That they may know God; if you get to know God, the Holy Spirit sits in you for purposes of eternity. That you are identified with God Almighty. So, when you are His, even when you come out of the body your journey is so clear before you. You continue.
Because I told you, the things you are giving too much time, immediately you leave your body, they forget you. All the energy and years you spent on them are forgotten. Those who are saying they are theirs. You find people fighting with your children. “This is mine now.” Something you struggled to get for years, and your children are being thrown out. You spent a lot of energy, but you can no longer speak for those things. You can only see your children suffering. But if you are for eternity, the Hosts of Heaven will come and fight. God will not allow you to see evil before you because you have fought a good fight of faith and you have overcome.
Knowing that Jesus Christ was sent by God the Father and defending His Name is truly eternity. You will be with Him till the end. He says, “Friends, I am telling you the truth. I am going to the Father to prepare mansions for you.”
There is nothing you give to the Kingdom of God and it is not counted in Heaven. Jesus Christ counts it. And the Mansions Jesus Christ is talking about are the things you have contributed towards the Kingdom. Whatever you do for God, He will bless you. And whatever bad thing you do, He will curse you. That is why He told Abraham, “I will bless those who bless you, and I will curse those who curse you.”
“Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. In My Father’s House are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go, to prepare a place for you.” (John 14:1)
Jesus Christ said, “Do not be troubled. Let not your great be disturbed. You believe in Me. believe in God and also in Me, in My Father’s House, there are many mansions.”
Truly, in Heaven, if God opens your eyes to see Heaven, these things that are worrying you will cease to worry you. Whatever you do for the Kingdom contributes to your mansion. And it is not one room. It is something else; golden houses, ways of diamonds, it is true. That is why you see many servants of God who are truly powerful do not get too old. He takes them early because they know where they are going. When their Mission is complete, they say, “LORD, take me.” Because they fear to stay on earth and sin. But the wicked cry, “I am only 99 years old.”
I am not teaching you for your death, but I am telling you, that children of God do not die, they have life that is continuous. He does not forget you. That is why you call God of Abraham. Meaning Abraham in the spirit is alive. So, we do not die. We only transfigure and we continue seeing carefully.
But if you do not commit yourself to God genuinely, you are deceiving yourself. The journey is true and for real. All these things you want, let God give them to you but within your journey. The more you go high the more you need God.
A ripe mango will always have people looking for sticks to throw at it. When you go up there so many people want that place, they want to put you down, so, you need God Who has taken you up to sustain you.
That is life and that is how life is, if you are not focused, they will detract you and make you look at them yet God sent you for something.
Prayer:
Those who are fighting you, may God detract them and put them somewhere. Whatever the enemy has assigned to make you lose focus, may Fire consume it. May the Spirit of the Most High God, resurrect your soul, activate your faculties and lead you to His Glory, in Jesus’ Name.
So, friends do not give up. You are going somewhere, keep moving, do not turn back, you shall get there. There are so many things assigned in this world. But friend, do not turn your face away. There is a Man called Jesus Christ. Look at Him in all situations. However bad the situations are, look at Him.
If you are a person who prays for real, what you do at that time, can carry you for some good time. It shall clear your way. When your way is spiritually cleared, you are able to sustain what you have and you will get far. That was the secret of Daniel. He was a man of prayer. You might be too busy, but have a day you call “My personal day to war against anything that stands against me. I personally engage in it.”
So, I advise you friend, in life there is what they call eternity; it means it continues after earthly understanding and this eternity begins when you are alive. You just keep growing in understanding it. And by the time you understand and believe in Eternal Life; that is believing in God Almighty without any small doubt and walk by Him, you shall constantly be there.
What do we gain by having all of the world and yet inside our souls are sick? When inside, there is no peace, you are not satisfied and truly nothing on earth will ever satisfy you.
Oh! These eyes are like graves and death. They eat and never get satisfied. The eyes can look at everything, admire this and that, crave for the other, kill for the other one, and yet not get satisfied. You look at something, work hard and get it.
After you have got it, the eyes get tired of seeing it. Now the eyes want something new. They cannot get satisfied. So, do not worry. Just be happy, follow the Man Jesus Christ. He will satisfy you.
Prayer:
Raise your hands and speak to Jesus Christ. Say, “God, I am here. I need You, my God. Strengthen me. Help me to serve you. Father, uphold me and save my soul.” AMEN
