Pst. E.A. Adeboye 19 November
Memorise: So is he that
layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God. Luke
12:21
Read: Luke
12:16-21
The greatest blessing you
can give to anyone is to prepare the fellow for Heaven. Revelation 22:12
says:
And, behold, I come
quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall
be.
Give a man a million
naira; if he is not financially prudent and does not have the wisdom on how to
invest it, after some time, there may be no evidence of having received such a
sum. But if you give a man Jesus and prepare the fellow for Heaven, not only
will he be your crown of rejoicing, his own joy will be everlasting. Tel I all
who are associated with you that if they are not born again, no matter how
religious they are and no matter the position they occupy in church, they cannot
enter through the pearly gates of Heaven. Also tell them that if they are born
again but they are not living holy, they will also not be able to enter in. You
can equally be a blessing by getting the sick healed or getting the needy to
have supernatural provision from God through your ministry, but the fellow who
is healed today will still die one day and face eternity and the one with
abundance today will die and return naked some day. So it is better to give
people Jesus and prepare them for Heaven.
The other day, someone was
congratulating me that I was nominated as Number one among the living legends in
Nigeria and 49th among the world's most influential. I thanked him and replied:
Number one in Nigeria, and Number 49 in the world, then Number what in Heaven?"
This is what is most important! When Jesus returns, He is not going to ask you
what number you were in your country or in the world, but where you are placed
in Heaven. If God likes you and gives you good health, you may live up to 120
years on earth but over there, it is forever. If you make it to Heaven, you will
enjoy forever but if you go to hell, you will burn throughout eternity. Some
years ago, a man attended the Holy Ghost service and met someone he was familiar
with there. "So, you too are here?" He asked. "Yes," replied the other man.
"Really, for how long?" "For five years" was the reply. Then the man became
excited and said: "You mean, you knew the way to Heaven for the past five years
and you never told me, yet you call yourself my friend?" Lead all your
acquaintances to Jesus today. Don't be like the rich fool!
ACTION POINT
What number are you in
Planet Heaven? What are you doing to move up your rating in heaven?
