Matthew 7:21-23: “Not everyone that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father, which is in heaven. 22: Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? And in thy name have cast out devils? And in thy name done many wonderful works? 23: And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.”

Heaven is for many who have lived in line with God’s customary whereas on earth. It is the abode of the Almighty God and His saints. It will not be a spot for jokers or the place anyone can go into. It is a spot for the righteous, diligent, devoted and accountable individuals. It is a spot for many who have actually laboured within the winery of the Almighty God, whereas on earth. The journey to heaven is a life’s time challenge through which a person commits his physique, soul and spirit to the issues of God. A quintessential situation is the Parable of the ten Virgins in Matthew 25:1-12, which says: “Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom. 2: And five of them were wise, and five were foolish. 3: They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them. 4: But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. 5: While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept. 6: And at midnight there was a cry made, ‘behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.’ 7: Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. 8: And the foolish said unto the wise, give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out. 9: But the wise answered, saying, not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves. 10: And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut.” If you learn downwards to verses 11 and 12, you’ll uncover that the 5 silly virgins returned knocking on the door for the Lord to open it for them to enter, however the Lord replied that He didn’t know them. The virgins have been shut out of the marriage get together.

The 5 virgins have been Christians, born once more and actually operating the race, however they have been careless. The biblical accounts of God from creation thus far, portrays God as being cautious in no matter He does. Our Lord Jesus Christ was by no means careless all through the interval He carried out His evangelical ministry and nothing revealed that the Angels of God have been much less involved or nonchalant in any challenge assigned to them. From all information every part in heaven and about God have been rigorously deliberate and diligently executed, which means any heaven-bound Christian should not be careless. They should always be at alert and anticipate the sound of the trumpet. The 5 silly virgins have been careless for not bringing further oil for his or her lamps. Although, they’ve run the race faithfully; they weren’t diligent at doing issues, which was the rationale they didn’t end effectively. Pray that such won’t ever be your portion.

One has to play by the foundations, whereas operating this heaven race. This is why within the lead scripture; the Lord clearly differentiated due course of within the service of the Lord from the present of self-righteousness and never being born once more. The Bible says, as many who obtained Him shall be known as the sons of God. Whosoever that has not obtained our Lord Jesus Christ will not be a baby of God and no matter he/she does within the identify of Jesus Christ is a misnomer as a result of he/she is on his/her personal accord.

The Devil or demons are God’s enemies and whosoever casts them out within the identify of the Lord should be absolutely determine with our Lord Jesus Christ or else the Lord will deny him/her on the final day. Demons are spirits and Satan’s emissaries. Their origin will not be identified, however they’re so quite a few as to make Satan’s energy to seem ubiquitous. They are able to getting into and controlling males and beasts, and earnestly search to occupy any weak vessel.

Demons are unclean, sullen, violent, and malicious. They know our Lord Jesus Christ because the Most High God and recognise His supreme authority. They know their everlasting destiny as one in every of torment; therefore they inflict bodily maladies on their victims. However, psychological illness is to be distinguished from thoughts dysfunction because of demonic management. Demonic affect could manifest as non secular asceticism and degenerate into uncleanness. Some of the indicators of demonic affect in faith are the departure from the religion and the revealed fact within the scripture. Demons are in fixed non secular battle with Christians. Christian’s armour for the battle embody prayers, holy life-style and the management of their physique. All unbelievers are open to demonic possession and whosoever should solid them out should be born once more and absolutely determine with our Lord Jesus Christ as a result of doing this exterior Jesus Christ will quantity to being careless and for one to lose heaven on the final day.

The Lord is warning all Christians, particularly those that take issues with no consideration to be extra cautious, watchful and resilient of their conducts to keep away from being taken unawares when the trumpet shall sound. As it’s now, no one is aware of the hour the trumpet will sound. Our Lord Jesus Christ made it clear that solely the daddy is aware of the hour, however the time is brief and the indicators of our Lord Jesus Christ’s second coming are virtually accomplished. 1 Corinthians 7: 29-31 says: “But this I say, brethren, the time is short: it remaineth, that both they that have wives be as though they had none. 30: And they that weep, as though they wept not; and they that rejoice, as though they rejoiced not; and they that buy, as though they possessed not. 31: And they that use this world, as not abusing it: for the fashion of this world passeth away.” The scripture additionally warns Christians to de-emphasise the significance of fabric issues and focus on issues that edify God and develop the non secular, as it will allow man to have the ability to test the Devil always. People who place a lot precedence on wealth on the detriment of their non secular buildup are enjoying with their souls. Despite the financial worth of the issues of the world, they may certainly perish on this world with the flesh, whereas the human soul continues to reside eternally both in heaven or in hell relying on one’s life-style whereas on earth. Do not be careless together with your soul as a result of hell hearth is actual and never a spot any human ought to need to go. It is for the satan and his brokers. That is why the Bible asks in Mark 8:36-37: “For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? 37: Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?” We all got here into the world bare and bare lets depart it. The solely treasure that can out-live our existence on this world is our soul. We should not be careless with it. It is just the soul we’re taking out of this earth. Do not due to the pursuit of earthly possessions enable the needs of the flesh to wreck your soul or drive it to go to hell hereafter.

It is, subsequently, time for us to re-examine our lives vis-à-vis our relationship with God; how we lay emphasis on the issues of God? Is our precedence on the acquisition of wealth on the detriment of the issues of God and by implication endangering the way forward for our souls? As you learn this message, retrace your steps with a view to reviving your prayer and evangelistic life. Make amends in any space you’re nonchalant in the direction of the issues of God. As you do that at this time, come again to God, He will bless you and additionally, you will make heaven hereafter, in Jesus’ identify.

In November of that 12 months, I returned to Nigeria, went to my village and commenced to mould blocks for my constructing. While doing this, my uncle’s spouse derided me, saying, it’s not to mould blocks that’s the concern, however to construct the home. I reported her to God of Chosen and never lengthy with the assistance of God, I erected a powerful mansion. My detractors once more started to gossip that I’m this and that. However, God instructed that I ought to set up a department of our church within the village and I did that by developing a beautiful edifice for the department too.

As the gossip continued, the God of Chosen empowered me to place up a three-storey constructing in Abakaliki, my state capital.

God additionally blessed me with a beautiful mansion within the capital of Burkina Faso. So, I’ve come to understand God for the nice issues He has executed for me. He is a powerful God. What He can’t do doesn’t exist.

Note: all these blessings got here because of sowing; so, I encourage members to sow, and God will bless you as effectively.
