RHAPSODY OF REALITIES **SET YOUR FOCUS ON ETERNITY** Thursday 24th March: Pastor Chris
If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable (1 Corinthians 15:19).
God always connects everything He does with eternity, because He thinks
in terms of eternity. He’s the eternal God, and always, He deals with
things that last forever. In Ecclesiastes 3:11 (NIV), the Bible says,
“He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity
in the hearts of men....” He brought eternity to men so they can see
beyond this world.
Sadly, some Christians don’t realize this; hence
their business, family plans, interests and relationships aren’t
connected to eternity. Everything God is interested in, and all that He
does, is connected to eternity. So, set your focus on eternity. Set your
mind on God’s purpose for your life. That’s what counts! It has to be a
revelation that you accept, endorse and imbibe into your spirit; a
knowledge that’s a controlling principle in your life. That means
everywhere you go, and everything you do, you’re inspired by God’s
eternal purpose and perfect will for your life.
The Lord is
teaching, inspiring, and strengthening you through His Word today,
because He’s looking beyond the present moments, beyond the month or
year you’re in presently. He’s even looking beyond all the years that
you would live on earth. He’s looking at what you’ll do with your life
in this world, which would determine what eternity would be for you.
Therefore, look beyond this world.
CONFESSIONI’m taught of the Lord
to look beyond the present moments and connect everything I do here on
earth to eternity. My choices and decisions concerning my family, job
and everything else about my life are founded on the Word; I’m led and
guided by the Spirit always, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
FURTHER
STUDY:Colossians 3:1-2 AMP IF THEN you have been raised with Christ [to a
new life, thus sharing His resurrection from the dead], aim at and seek
the [rich, eternal treasures] that are above, where Christ is, seated
at the right hand of God. [Ps. 110:1.] And set your minds and keep them
set on what is above (the higher things), not on the things that are on
the earth.
John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his
only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish,
but have everlasting life.
Mark 8:35-38 For whosoever will save his
life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and
the gospel's, the same shall save it. 36 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? 38 Whosoever therefore shall
be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful
generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh
in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.
