Our Home Beyond The Sky

-

today, but if man can trust and have confidence in God and His promises of a beautiful home in heaven, there won’t be any trouble in the heart of men.

The world will pass away and all its fantasies. They are mere ephemeral that will go on flame in a twinkle of an eye. The world will be wiped out one day. Therefore, it is foolishnes­s for man to throw all his weight and labour on this earth. There is a better home beyond the sky that man should always crave, because it is a better place to be.

The world should not ordinarily attract a real child of God, if only he knows what awaits him in heaven. There is danger in leaning on the grandeur of this world, because the end result is hell fire.

The people of the world are foolish in their vain thoughts: they look at their inventions and conclude that there is no God. The word of God calls them fools! They forgot the socalled great “Titanic,” which the inventors thought nothing could happen to it, but The Almighty God proved them otherwise.

Children of God should desist from laying up their treasures on earth, where “moth doth corrupt.” Thieves can breakthrou­gh the treasures of this world. Attention should rather be focused on heaven. The word of God in Colossians 3: 1- 3 is quite instructiv­e. God expects Christians to be dead to sin and the world. A dead man does not respond to stimuli or any attraction around him. He is no more conscious of the world again, because he is dead.

There is nothing that is as attractive as heaven. The glory of it should ordinarily jolt up the lukewarm and discourage­d believers. In heaven, there is no night or day. The street of heaven, as described in Revelation, is made of beautiful and costly stones that did not even match the exact descriptio­n of heaven. But for the fact that John did not know what else he could use on earth to describe it, he then settled with beautiful stones man is familiar with. To enter heaven, a believer must be very careful not to fall into sin. Temptation­s will definitely come. They are targeted at stopping believers from precious things the Lord has for them.

The choice of heaven is at your disposal! Make a right choice today and you will never regret it.
