TOPIC: A GLIMPSE INTO THE BEAUTY AND GLORY OF THE CELESTIAL CITY - Part 1
TEXT: 2 CORINTHIANS 12:1-4
Key Verse: “And Enoch walked with God: and was not; for God took him” Genesis 5:24.

God in His mercy and great love for mankind has been revealing and is still revealing to us part of the wonderful and beautiful things that await us in the celestial city. A saint was taken on a heavenly pilgrimage as Paul experienced in our reading text. His testimony is shared below. 

No sooner had I taken my seat in the chariot than I found I could converse with the angels with perfect understanding. There seemed to be a kind of comprehension of ideas without the effort of words; yet we spoke as spirits speak. I have often heard words spoken while in the body which were wholly in the ear of the soul, and yet most distinctly understood when there was no audible voice whatever -- the same as Paul's conversion experience when he heard a voice distinctly in his inner consciousness while those who journeyed with him saw no man from whom the voice came. I now asked, "Are you really and truly angels of God, about whom we have read and sang and heard so much about in the world?" "Truly we are," they replied, "but of our birth you know nothing, for in fact we were not born but created; not in the earth but in celestial regions. We have learned our lessons in the past eternities in the presence of God (Rev. 12:7-9), but we are glad to be your servants and helpers now. This has been our service ever since man was created upon the earth, but we can tell you more about ourselves at another time." (Ps. 91:11,12; Ps. 34:7; Heb. 1:13,14). I replied, "We have been strangers until this time, but you make me feel great confidence in your ability to safely guide the chariot. I have been looking forward to this time for many years, but did not know it was so near."

Reader, you better start thinking of this celestial city which we shall soon inherit. It is nearer than you may think or imagine and the Lord wants you to be there because it is prepared for a prepared saint like you. Col 3:1-4 If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. 2  Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. 3  For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. 4  When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.

Thought for the day: Are you a prepared saint? Are you ready for rapture? Watching and waiting?
Song for the day: I just want to be where you are dwelling daily in your presence….
Bible reading for the day:
Genesis 41; Matthew 13:1-32

Signs And Wonders Should Be According To Biblical Pattern

God's blessings shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. Signs And Wonders Should Be According To Biblical Pattern Text: Mark 16: 17 – 20 Wednesday May 8th Key verse: Obadiah 17 “Upon mount Zion shall be deliverance, and there shall be holiness and the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions.” God has prepared to direct us on holy service unto Himself. He tells us when the lives and services of people are corrupt because from the heart of men proceed the works they do. When people are righteous and holy, their service is also righteous and holy. Hence, the word says, make the people holy then their service will be holy, so if you accept to live a life of holiness, then the fruit of your service will be holy. So, it is very important to accept the life of holiness because the God that made you is holy; He will give you grace to be holy. You just make up your mind to be holy. Do not accept that no man can be holy; then Jesus came for nothing, Jes...

God’s Extra Effort In Restoring The Backslider

God's blessings shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. God’s Extra Effort In Restoring The Backslider  Sunday May 12th Text: Jeremiah 3: 15 – 17 Key verse: Ezekiel 33: 11 Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord God, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel.  Receive the word that will change you, restore you, reestablish you and give you back the hope of eternal life. Come back! The Lord is pleading. Can you see the effort of God in your life? And can you see madness in your life; resisting every effort God is making. God is calling you. Retrace your ways. Follow the good old way. Go and confess those things, do not keep them. Your problem is, you want to serve God but you have not confessed your sins openly because of shame, fear and  pride which shall be dissolved in hell. That is where your problem is. Yes, you wa...
