SCRIPTURE:
Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his
commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. Ecclesiastes 12:13
THOUGHT
FOR THE DAY: It is not whether you are a citizen of a particular nation but
whether you are a citizen of Heaven that matters most.
A good
understanding of what matters most in life is very critical to living a
successful and impactful life. To understand what matters most in life is to
avoid aimless and wasteful living.
However,
many people do not know what really matters in life so they end up chasing
shadows. Many people ended the journey of life in regrets because they were
chasing shadows on earth in their lifetime.
So,
today, we are looking at some of the things that matter most in life.
1. Whose you are: It is not who you are but whose you are that matters in life.
You may be a doctor, a lawyer, a millionaire, or a billionaire; it does not
matter as much as who you belong to. Your achievements on earth do not matter
if you do not have a personal relationship with God.
2.
Citizenship of Heaven: It is not whether you are a citizen of a particular
country but whether you are a citizen of Heaven that is what matters most.
There are people who celebrate how they acquired the citizenship of certain
countries in the world. In fact, they over-celebrate having the passports of
such countries. Having a passport of a great or prosperous country is alright,
but it does not matter what passport you have, if you do not have the passport
to Heaven, it is a waste of life.
Beloved,
in order to live a fulfilled life on earth and end well in eternity, you have
to focus on what matters most in life.
Remember
this: It is not whether you are a citizen of a particular nation but whether
you are a citizen of Heaven that matters most.
ASSIGNMENT(S):
1. Assess your heart; where do you think you would be in eternity? Ensure that
heaven is your end.
2. Determine to pursue what matters most in life.
3. Make demands on God’s grace to walk in His perfect Will.

PRAYER:
