DON’T SEEK TO GO TO HEAVEN ALONE

God bless you for taking the time to study.

TOPIC: DON’T SEEK TO GO TO HEAVEN ALONE.  

TEXT: LUKE 13:22-24 

THURSDAY OCTOBER 13TH

Key verse: Proverbs 11:30. The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that winneth souls are wise. 
In our text today, Jesus admonishes us to strive when it comes to the issue of heaven but come to think of it; are we going to heaven alone? Did Jesus die for us alone? Why shouldn’t we be concerned indeed? Why is the entire world perishing around us? When are we going to awake to the reality that our relations are not going to heaven because their names are not in the book of life? We are just seeing them on earth. 
When are you going to become conscious of the fact that your colleagues in your workplace are just there in the shadows of today and that in a little while eternity shall envelop them in the torments of hellfire? When are you going to awake to the reality that all these people you meet in the market are like doomed people waiting to be pushed into the abyss? Arise in compassion, in passion for the souls of men, and get them saved in Christ. Come on! Are you going to heaven alone? Then why are you not waking up to make sure you cry and cry to God for the perishing souls of men, women youths, and children?
Jude 22-23 22 And of some have compassion, making a difference: 23 And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.
God wants us to awake to real passion as Paul: “For though I preach the gospel, I have nothing to glory of for necessity is laid upon me; yea, woe is unto me if I preach not the gospel!” 1 Corinthians 9:16. As a child of God, do you know that woe is unto you if you preach not the gospel? Let me tell you, Mordecai told Esther (paraphrased) “Esther, what do you mean? We are perishing here and you are sitting at ease in the King's palace thinking that you’re a queen and that the king cannot permit you to be killed? Are you thinking that you are going to be saved; that if we all die you will remain? God forbid! Esther 4:13-14

Thought for the day: Work hard to carry others along with you to heaven.

Song for the day: Must I go empty-handed … 

Bible reading for the day: 
Isaiah 50-52; 1Thessalonians 1 #Horemow.

HOLINESS REVIVAL MOVEMENT WORLDWIDE Daily Devotional EVERY WORD OF GOD FOR DAILY LIVING  _BY_ *PASTOR PAUL RIKA*  Int'l Director        (Holiness Revival Movement Worldwide) THURSDAY NOVEMBER 1 , 2018  _TOPIC:_    *YOU WILL SUCCEED AS CHRIST DID BY PRAYER*           TEXT: John 16: 23-24. KEY VERSE: It came to pass, as He was praying in a certain place, when He ceased, one of His disciples said, Lord, teach us how to pray as John taught his disciples. Luke 11: 1. When Jesus Christ came to us in the flesh, He went into the business of prayer because He was promoting the attribute of God as a prayer-answering God. He would not render that attribute idle or redundant. Nobody knew how John did it, but Jesus reveals here that the success you saw in the ministry of John the Baptist, the victory you saw in his ministry, is because he was a prayer man. John so much valued prayer. He saw the essentials of pr...
