TOPIC: DILIGENT HOLY LIFE SEPTEMBER Saturday 29th
TEXT: Hebrews 6:9-12
KEY VERSE: Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life. Proverbs 4:23
Diligence means carefulness, thoughtfulness, thoroughness. Holiness is the life of God and diligence is required to live it. You are practicing it on earth in order to be with Him in eternity. A diligent holy life is a life that shuns sin, that is obedient and submissive to the word of God. You are practicing it here in anticipation of appearing before God in heaven. All your focus is on heaven. All you are doing is for heaven. All roads in your life should lead to heaven. All activities in your life, all relationships should be geared towards heaven. Hebrews 12:14, “Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord.” Do things appropriately towards people. Settle quarrels and differences without compromising on God's standard. This is holiness.
In our present world where people have forgotten about heaven, we still have a few who are conscious of it and working towards it. They know heaven is their home and are ready to sacrifice all for it. The thief on the cross spoke not more than ten words in less than 5 seconds and heaven opened for him. Two thieves were crucified with Jesus, one listened diligently and got to know by revelation that Jesus being crucified with them was actually his Creator and already heaven-bound. The other mocked and despised Him. One went to heaven and the other has been regretting his error for more than 2,000 years. Heaven is not an imagination. It is as real as the existence of Satan on earth. It is the abode of the eternal God and His saints. As the earth is full with human creatures and other architectural beauty so is heaven filled with angelic beings and marvelous creatures and creations. It is a place of perfect existence where saints go after leaving the earth.
Thought for the day: Let nothing distract you from the heavenly race.
Song for the day: Walking in the light of God
Bible reading for the day
Isaiah 16-18; Ephesians 1
