Memorise: He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son. Revelation 21:7
Read: Revelation 21:1-7 (KJV)
1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.
2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.
4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
5 And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.
6 And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.
7 He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.
Bible in one year: Genesis 35:1-37:11, Psalms 106:13-31
AS REVEALED BY PASTOR E.A ADEBOYE IN TODAY’S DEVOTIONAL
1. You cannot overcome the trials and temptations of life, if you have not caught the vision of heaven. It is the vision of heaven that will encourage, stimulate and empower you to forge ahead as you violently take the Kingdom of God (Matthew 11:12).
2.When a child of God sees a vision of heaven, he will not need much persuasion to do more than he is currently doing in the Kingdom business of soul-winning and holy living
3. You cannot aspire for what has not been introduced into your consciousness.
4. In heaven, there shall be no more death, sorrow, crying and pain.
5. it is only those that overcome that shall inherit the beautiful heavenly Jerusalem.
SHORT REFLECTION BY THE LIGHT POINTERS
Often times when we have a vision and we are opportune to see a demo or model of exactly what we have in mind, it gives us a push till we are able to achieve it. In the same vein, when we study the word of God as regards the beautiful heavenly Jerusalem, we are charged to stay on track and strive to stand against anything that can deprive us of it. We have an assurance of the crown of glory, crown of life, crown of righteousness and eternal joy among other beautiful promises if we do not faint. I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us Romans 8:18. God will help us to remain in Him even as we reconcile lost souls back to Him in Jesus name. Blessed be God for our father in the Lord Pastor E. A Adeboye for the great insight in today’s devotional. May he continually increase in strength and grace in Jesus’ name.
Prayer Point
Father, open my eyes to see a vision of heaven today in Jesus’ name.
HYMN
1 When the trumpet of the Lord shall sound, and time shall be no more,
and the morning breaks, eternal, bright and fair;
when the saved of earth shall gather over on the other shore,
and the roll is called up yonder, I’ll be there.
Refrain:
When the roll is called up yonder,
when the roll is called up yonder,
when the roll is called up yonder,
when the roll is called up yonder, I’ll be there.
2 On that bright and cloudless morning when the dead in Christ shall rise,
and the glory of His resurrection share;
ahen His chosen ones shall gather to their home beyond the skies,
and the roll is called up yonder, I’ll be there. [Refrain]
3 Let us labor for the Master from the dawn till setting sun;
let us talk of all His wondrous love and care;
then when all of life is over, and our work on earth is done,
and the roll is called up yonder, I’ll be there. [Refrain]
