TOPIC: HOW PARADISE GOT RELOCATED TO HEAVEN May Saturday 23rd
Text: Acts 7:55-60
Key verse: Acts 7:55 But he, being full of the Holy Ghost, looked up steadfastly into heaven, and saw the Glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God.
When the Lord resurrected from the dead, the dead old testament saints too came out and went with him to heaven. This was when paradise moved from under the earth to heaven above. From that time those who die in Christ no longer go to the lower part of the earth, but straight to heaven. Their souls go straight to heaven and as such there is nothing like soul sleeping since paradise, their place of abode is now in heaven. From the account of the martyrdom of Stephen as seen in our reading text, Jesus was standing in heaven at the right hand of God the Father and was ready to receive the soul of the righteous that was on the verge of death on earth. So the souls of the righteous people now go straight to heaven.
Paul the apostle also spoke in the same vein when he said in Philippians 1: 23 for I am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ; which is far better. If I depart, I will be with Christ. Where is Christ? He is in heaven. If I die and leave this world now I will go straight to Jesus who will be the one welcoming me to heaven. Therefore, righteous people are no more in hell, where paradise used to exist in one compartment and “hell fire” in the other compartment. Nevertheless, sinners are still in hell fire, the place of punishment meant for those who died without Christ. Sinners who are presently there now shall resurrect in due time and taken to the final place of death called the lake of fire. Where the lake of fire is now we cannot tell, but sinners will be going there.
Thought for the day: To be with Christ is far better:
Song for the day; Dwelling together, how happy we shall be, through all eternity…
Bible reading for the day: 1 Chronicles 8-10; John 8:37-59

For taking your time to study remain blessed. UNDERSTANDING ETERNITY WEDNESDAY MAY 10 TEXT: Psalm 90: 1 - 2 Key Verse: “The Lord is King forever and ever: the heathen are perished out of his land Psalm 10:16 People that understand eternity are always careful. Eternity means forever and ever, it means ever-lasting, ever-living, never dying. Trillion upon trillion years, eternity is still on, in fact it is life without end. There are two extreme ends of eternity: The kingdom of God called third heaven where God the Father, God the son, God the Holy Ghost, twenty-four elders, saints of God that make heaven, holy angels of God, and entire host of heaven dwell now presently; Hell-fire, where Satan, demons, and sinners that have died in their sins are presently kept. God is the One that introduced eternity. He lives forever. It is not a choice, the One who created us is forever, hence you will live forever, but what matters is where you will live eternally. Remove God from the way, then t...

Every Word Of God For Daily Living For taking your time to study remain blessed July Tuesday 9th TOPIC: WE ARE IN THE TWILIGHT HOUR OF RAPTURE TEXT: Ephesians 5:26-27 KEY VERSE: Hebrews 9:28 So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation. Seeing the traces of the features of the next dispensation in this present dispensation, you should know that you are in the twilight hour. What is a twilight hour? A twilight hour is that hour of the day that you begin to see the traces of the night while it is still daylight (probably 7:00pm to 7:30pm). It is not completely dark, yet it is not complete bright either. While it is still day, you are seeing the traces of the night. A twilight hour is the hour when you are still in this dispensation but you are already seeing traces of the next. The twilight hour is the time that our Lord Jesus Christ was born and even though He came with the New Test...
