WE MUST LIVE IN TIME WITH ETERNITY IN PERSPECTIVE
1 PETER 4;7-8; PSALM 90:12; 2 CORINTHIANS 5:9-10; EPHESIANS 5:15-17
"Making the most of every opportunity, for the days are evil." Ephesians 5:16 (NIV)
One of the Major Keys to Success in life is to learn to consider in the beginning those things that will matter in the end. You can not begin a journey without a destination in mind. It is the destination that determines the path you take to reach it. In this life, we would always arrive somewhere with time. The question is 'where'? After you leave this life, you will also arrive somewhere. Where will that be? This is so important because the Holy Scriptures declare that "it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this, the Judgment" (Heb. 9:27). Death is not the end. After experiencing death, there's a Divine Judgment that determines where and how we will spend Eternity. To this attests the Holy Bible which declares "For we must all appear before the Judgment Seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad" (2 Cor. 5:10). What we do in this life is what determines where and how we will spend Eternity. We must live in time with Eternity in perspective, and we must set our "... affection on things Above, not on things on the Earth" (Col. 3:2).
We must mind in the beginning the things that will matter in the end. Every day must count, and every day must be thoroughly maximized towards investing into our Eternal Destiny (Ps. 90:12). Here are Three Major Things we ought to pay attention to that would determine our Eternal Destiny: .
(1.) We need to receive Redemption by the Blood and maintain our Sanctification through Separation from sin, the world, and the devil (Rom. 10:9-10, 1 Jn. 3:2-3).
(2.) We must identify our Calling and God-given Assignment in life and prepare ourselves for it. (Rom. 12:6-8; Prov. 4:7).
(3.) We must use our Gifts, Talents, Skills, Resources, Platforms and Time to pursue the Great Commission. We need to get involved in discipling the nations and the people groups that God has sent us to (Matt. 28:19-20). If you do these things consistently, you will not only secure your Eternal Destiny but also your Divine Placement in this life.
PRAYER:
Heavenly Father, we exalt You today. O Lord, like the psalmist prayed in Psalms 90:12, teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto Wisdom. Help us to learn to always mind in the beginning the things that will matter in the End and in Eternity in Jesus' Mighty Name. Amen.
