HEAVEN – GOD’S DWELLING PLACE. FRIDAY OCTOBER 6
TEXT: ISAIAH 66:1, 1KINGS 8:39A
Key Verse: The Lord hath prepared His throne in the heavens and His kingdom ruleth over all Ps 103:19
Heaven is the planet where God dwells, the headquarters of the universe. Heaven is a material planet. God took time to create the earth as He took time to create heaven. God created the planet earth to be inhabited by man while He inhabits the planet heaven. The material heaven was brought into existence by God’s word and formed by God’s hand just like in the creation of the earth. In Genesis 1 He spoke many things into existence but in Genesis 2 He actually involved His hands at work to actualize His spoken word. There are three heavens, the first heaven refers to the planet earth, the second heaven refers to the atmospheric heaven, the sky, the firmament, the starry space while the third heaven is where God dwells. Heaven is the kingdom of God, it is the heavenly country, it was created also like the earth. Heaven was created in the dateless past, it is the old work of God. It was created in the beginning before the earth.
In heaven nobody sins because the spirit of God is the one guiding everyone’s action for good not like the earth where three forces are controlling man: flesh(self will), Satan and God. Heaven is made up of three stories suspended over the other with no pillar holding them Eze 42:3-6, Over against the twenty cubits which were for the inner court, and over against the pavement which was for the utter court, was gallery against gallery in three stories. And before the chambers was a walk to ten cubits breadth inward, a way of one cubit; and their doors toward the north. Now the upper chambers were shorter: for the galleries were higher than these, than the lower, and than the middlemost of the building. For they were in three stories, but had not pillars as the pillars of the courts: therefore the building was straitened more than the lowest and the middlemost from the ground. Amos 9:6 ‘It is he that buildeth his stories in the heaven, and hath founded his troop in the earth; he that calleth for the waters of the sea, and poureth them out upon the face of the earth: The LORD is his name’. The throne of God is at the topmost storey Job 22:12. Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom Lk 12:32.
Thought for the day: Beloved accept God’s gift of heaven and eternal life and work worthy of it.
Song for the day: show me the way to go to heaven.
