Daniel 12:3 KJV
“And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.”
I hear that there are billions of stars up there. I even heard that one star is many times bigger than the earth. It is also said that the sun is like a star, just that it is the brightest of them all. There are many things to be said about the stars and their constellations, but we now know one new thing about the stars; and that is the fact that they are not yet complete. There are a certain group of people that will one day join the stars, and they are soul winners.
I know that Jesus had said that we will be like the angels of God when we die and appear in heaven. But there is one more, we are to shine like the stars forever, and this is an exclusive privilege of those who win souls and turn many to righteousness. I believe that we will begin to shine like the stars right from here in this world. Our reward begins right here in this world. In Genesis 15:5, God took Abraham abroad and asked him to look at the stars, and said to him that his seed (i.e. born again believers) will be like that. So, way back from Abrahamic days, God promised us to be like the stars of heaven. But we need to know how to make this a reality, and it is by turning many to righteousness.
Win souls and become a star in this world and in our time, and be sure that it is God who will see to it. Win souls and God will make you one of the stars in heaven in eternity in Jesus Name. And guess what more? We may not even know the full implementation of what it means to be like the stars forever. It may be something way more than what we can ever imagine. But one thing is for sure; stars shine and they shine in the night. So soul winners will shine, and they will shine, even in the darkest of times. It sounds like “when men are cast down, then you will say there is a lifting up”.
Receive grace to win souls today and earn your spot among the stars forever in Jesus Name.
