During the Sunday Service, which also featured Zumunta Maza and Zumunta Mata, Elder Yamusa Sh*tta, Esq. delivered a message titled “The Seven Spiritual Qualifications for Heaven,” with reference to Matthew 7:21–23.
In his message, the speaker explained that there are several spiritual requirements expected of believers who desire to inherit the Kingdom of Heaven. He highlighted seven key qualifications that Christians should strive to uphold in their daily lives.
The seven qualifications highlighted were:
1. Faith in Christ — Believers must place their faith in Jesus Christ as the foundation of their salvation, as stated in Acts 16:31.
2. Being Born Again — The preacher emphasized the importance of spiritual rebirth, referencing Jesus' teaching in John 3:3 that one must be born again.
3. Having a Pure Heart Towards Others — Christians were encouraged to maintain pure hearts and genuine intentions towards one another, in line with Matthew 5:8.
4. Seeking Peace — The speaker encouraged believers to actively pursue peace and avoid unnecessary conflicts, drawing from Psalm 34:14.
5. Learning to Forgive — He stressed the importance of forgiveness and encouraged Christians to let go of offences rather than allowing bitterness to take root in their hearts.
6. Loving God and One Another — The preacher reminded the congregation of the commandment to love God wholeheartedly and to love others as oneself, as stated in Matthew 22:37–39.
7. Pressing Towards the Mark — Believers were encouraged to leave the past behind, remain focused on their Christian journey, and continue pressing forward until the end.
Elder Sh*tta emphasized the importance of finishing the Christian race faithfully. He encouraged believers to endure to the end, remain steadfast in their faith, and stay committed to the heavenly race, referencing Revelation 2:10.
