ETERNITY

Ecclesiastes 3:11

Yet God has made everything beautiful for its own time. He has planted eternity in the human heart, but even so, people cannot see the whole scope of God’s work from beginning to end.


While we are here on earth we may forget that the time here is limited. We are either overwhelmed with the riches and enjoyments we have or the pains and worries of life. We could also be weary of the bothers of people around us. The list continues . . .


The main riches surpasses our time here, for it is from these riches that we enjoy on earth.


Romans 9:23

and that He might make known the riches of His glory on the vessels of mercy, which He had prepared beforehand for glory.


The earth is the Lord's and the fullness . . .


Psalm 24:1

The earth is the Lord's, and all its fullness, The world and those who dwell therein.


So whether in this world or in the one after riches still belong to God.


Think of it, the joy you experience when you are in need and money gets into your hands. It is not really the money but what the money can buy that generates the joy. It can also be the security you feel due to the presence of the money.

Bills can now be paid, food can be bought, you can dress well and so on.


So actually the joy is not just the money but what the money can achieve.


As wise christians we are not to seek for the perishable but for that which is imperishable.


John 6:27

"Do not labor for the food which perishes, but for the food which endures to everlasting life, which the Son of Man will give you, because God the Father has set His seal on Him."


They joy of eternity is filled when we share it here on earth by the love we share with others in an act of giving.


The eternity we look up to begins from here and even the promises of Jesus for following him includes blessings here


Matthew 19:29

"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 everlasting life.


In the records of the acts of the apostles we see the record of a man whose eternal activity on earth provoked heaven to reach out to him:


Acts of the Apostles 10:3-4

One afternoon about three o’clock, he had a vision in which he saw an angel of God coming toward him. “Cornelius!” the angel said.

Cornelius stared at him in terror. “What is it, sir?” he asked the angel.And the angel replied, “Your prayers and gifts to the poor have been received by God as an offering!


So you see that, this was giving that had no expectation, not the type that is giving because a minister threatens you with hell, or by twisting scriptures, or any form of cajole. But an expression of eternity in his heart. He was not a Jew, he was not a Christian or whatever religion or denomination, he had eternity in his heart which is the love of God.


Also he was a man of prayer, you shouldn't expect recognition from a person you do not recognize. Selah


Thus, God sent salvation to him, he could not be left out of that which was eternal, because he allowed eternity in his heart 


As we go through the year let us share eternity by reaching out to those around us not expecting anything in return. I mean those in need.


YOU WILL ALWAYS HAVE SOMETHING TO GIVE!


No child of God is a beggar.


Psalm 37:25

I have been young, and now am old; Yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken, Nor his descendants begging bread.


Don't place yourself at the begging end, be the giver. Show forth the splendor of God's eternity.


So many things will arise to belittle you, telling you that you are less than what God has made you to be, don't accept it.


It is not about money but love, are you still keeping malice with someone, are you still holding a grudge, come on, release yourself from that self inflicted bondage that you may enjoy eternity in your heart.


Are you a peace maker or you join others to create, fan or promote discord? Then eternity may be far from you.

Are you proud, arrogant and lack love? Then where is the eternity in your heart?


Remember, God is Love.


You will bless someone today.


PRAYER

Loving Father, you have put eternity in my heart and sealed it with Your salvation which is only found in Yeshua Hamaschiac, Jesus the Christ. May I reflect this eternity through my time here on earth and of course where You are there will I be also. Glory to Your name Lord forevermore.


He calls us blessed.


Love

DO YOU STILL SEE?

Habakkuk 2:3 For the vision is yet for an appointed time; but at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; Because it will surely come, it will not tarry. It may have been easy when we first believed, to visualize the promises. We reach out with zeal, loving God, seeking to do exploits. That was when we first believed, just as Jesus said: John 3:3 Jesus answered and said to him, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God." When we become born again we see God's kingdom, our spirit man is reborn and we count the flesh as nothing. Then time passes by, we are in the world, all its distractions, temptations, responsibilities, challenges and so on begin to reveal themselves. The question then is: * Can we still see heaven? John 3:3 * Are we still zealous? John 2:17 * Are we continuing in those things? Acts 2:42 * Are we walking in love? 1John 4:7 or Has the cares and worries of life and service ta

DO UNTO OTHERS . . .

-
Matthew 7:12 "Therefore, whatever you want men to do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets. It is hypocritical of us to expect people to stand with us when we are experiencing challenges yet when we see others face their own challenges, we begin to imagine what they must have done wrong or maybe they annoyed God or did one evil or the other instead of reaching out to help as we would desire others to do for us. The same thing goes for prosperity, when the Lord opens a door for us and we have abundance of wealth or a breakthrough we expect others to rejoice with us, more so, some would even find it hard to give to others. What is our reaction when someone else gets this breakthrough, do we get suddenly suspicious without reason. Do we expect the person to reach out to us? It is better to stay on the side of encouragement than to sit as a judge or prosecutor. Jesus said, Matthew 7:2 "For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the same

MY YEAR OF FULFILMENT

-
Psalms 57:2 I cry out to God Most High, to God who will fulfill his purpose for me. We just finished the book of 1Samuel, in this book we see the cry of Israel for a king and how God raised Saul to rule them. We also saw how Saul disobeyed God and lost kingship for himself and his generation. He did not stop there, he went on to seek for the death of David, whom he saw as the next heir of the throne. In chapter 31, the last chapter, we see how Saul and all his sons and men were killed, it was tragic, however it was as a sign of relief for David. We could go on counting all the struggles and difficulties we faced in the past year. No, we should not, we should begin to look at all the positives, remembering all the good things God has done for us. If He promised it, He will do it and that is what we hold onto as we go through this year. Hebrews 10:23 Let us hold tightly without wavering to the hope we affirm, for God can be trusted to keep his promise. This is the year of fulfilment, and
