Fellow Heaven Aspirants,
It is expedient of us to be ready at all times to defend the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ no matter what. It is our responsibility!
But I thought it worthy for us to check ourselves if we're even preaching the gospel at all? If we are, is it for a price here on earth or for the rewards that awaits us in Heaven? We need to constantly check if our lifestyle is in sync with the title we carry "CITIZENS OF HEAVEN".
Some of us are even preaching the gospel but in all truth, "in pretence". Perhaps because they don't want other brethren to know they are no longer strenghtened for the Lord's assignment. That is why we must constantly watch-out for ourselves. Let's inculcate the habit of interceding for ourselves. In all honesty, we need it!
A good number of our brethren are getting carried away by the things of this strange land 'earth' and slowly forgetting that we do not belong to this world, our citizenship is in Heaven.
Are we still in the calibre of people who are ashamed to speak about Jesus with the belief that people won't listen because of our status? The truth remains that our un-belief is the reason we sometimes think we are nobody when God has made it clear through the Bible that we are His peculiar people.
Whether we have material resources or not, God is only interested in how SOLD OUT we are to Him. For this reason, Citizens of Heaven are willing and ready to live for Jesus alone knowing fully that even to die for His cause is gain.
On countless occasion, some of us have determined to never heed to the advices/demands of the flesh but we continue to succumb to its temptations. Our environment is having a bad/negative influence on us, and the fire that should be burning like a gas explosion is now nothing to be compared to a candle light. May God help us!................
