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

Them That Sin, Rebuke Before All

God's blessing shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. Them That Sin, Rebuke Before All   Monday 24th March Text: 1 Timothy 5: 19-22 Key verse: Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear. 1 Timothy 5:20 God wants you to avoid doing evil while saying you want to go to heaven. You may be a member of a worldly church and be saying, “It is my tribal church; if I leave them, they will be angry. I do not want them to be angry.” Is it God you want to make angry by your compromise? You will see the anger of God indeed. It is through the word that you perfect the people, and as a result, the Bible says, “Thou shalt not suffer sin upon your brother. Thou shall reprove him.” Your brother or sister has done a bad thing, and you do not bother. You leave them in their sins. They may do the same to other people. The Lord says, “Correct them.” Do not allow sin to be in them because sin will take them to hell. The Bible says, “Them that sin, rebuke befo...

For taking your time to study remain blessed. January Saturday 18th TOPIC: HOW TO ATTAIN BIBLE HOLINESS TEXT: Romans 6:20-23 KEY VERSE: Romans 6:22 But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life. Besides the essential knowledge of the holy life of a Christian, it is good to understand the manner and process of becoming holy before God. Holiness of life is a life that has overcome sin through the saving power of Jesus Christ. Romans 6:22 But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life. It is a life that does not commit sin. 1John 3:9 Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for His seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. Getting this experience requires four things: 1. Know that apart from holiness, there is no alternative lifestyle for heaven. Hebrews 12:14 Follow peace with all men, and holin...
