TIME IN ETERNITY

Text : Psalms 90:12 

So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.

Our God dwells in eternity-past, present and future. Within these phases of eternity, He created man to dwell in Time. 

This time was to be an endless time in eternity, but when man sinned, he fell short of God's plan, and death came in and reigned over all.(Romans 3:23). Death therefore short circuit man's life in eternity. This is the reason Jesus came.  He had to come into TIME in order to remove the plague death had placed on man. 

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. (John 3:16). 

Every man born into this world automatically becomes an eternal being. The question therefore is, which side of eternity would such a man dwells? Everlasting life or Everlasting condemnation?

Time is an opportunity given to you to trade for eternal life. You have limited time to exchange for eternal life in eternity.  Time offers you the opportunity to gain the offerings of eternity while you are still here on earth.

This is the reason Jesus said:  For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? (Matthew  16:26). 

This whole world lies in Time, and it is under the dictate of Time. If a man gains the world which is subjected to Time and looses his soul which is eternal, such man profits nothing.

USE THIS YOUR LIMITED LIFETIME TO EARN YOURSELF LIFE ETERNAL.

Bible reading: Ecclesiastes 3:1-9.

PRAYER FOCUS 

1.) Father God, teach me to number my days that I may apply my heart unto wisdom.

THE GOOD FIGHT-2

Text:  1 Timothy  6:12   Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. Another thing to pursue in fighting the good fight of faith is Godliness. We understand through the Holy scriptures that godliness is profitable unto all things.   *For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.* 1 Timothy  4:8.  You will reap the reward of your godliness not only when you get to heaven, but from here on earth. And this is why we are admonished to exercise ourselves unto godliness. (1 Timothy  4:7), because godliness with contentment is great gain.1 Timothy  6:6. Godliness is the practice of conforming to the image of God by reflecting the nature of the kingdom of God in the course of everyday life. In other words, godliness is living and portray...

IT IS WRITTEN AGAIN

Text: Matthew 4:6. He told Jesus, “Since you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, because it is written,   ‘God will put his angels in charge of you,’ and,   ‘With their hands they will hold you up, so that you will never hit your foot against a rock.’ Jesus knocked devil off with "it is written" when he came to him with the first temptation. So, the devil too decided to use "it is written" for Jesus for the second temptation.  Don't be deceived, the devil knows the scriptures too. Second Corinthians 11:14 says,  "Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light." So, it's no surprise when you see Satan's messengers masquerading themselves as Apostle of Christ. 2 Corinthians 11:14.  The word of God is perfect. Yet, many people can twist it to their advantage and ultimately to their disadvantage. A drunk, smoker, fornicator, liar and all sort can justify their sinful lifestyles with a Bible verse. See to it that you do not twist the word of Go...

WHEN GOD IS SILENT(2)

Text: Matthew 4:1  *Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.*  We saw yesterday that God was not pleased with many israelites that left Egypt for the promised land  (Corinthians 10:5).  A good percentage of the Israelites were overthrown in the wilderness.   Wilderness experience is not what any child of God desires, but it is an experience God sends or allows his children go through. In Deuteronomy 8:2, God says that He *LED* the Isrealites through the wilderness for forty years to humble them, to prove them, and to know what was in their heart whether they would keep his commandments or not.  Our Lord Jesus Christ was also *LED* into the wilderness by the Spirit of the Lord to be tempted by the devil. You will  notice there is a similar feature of the number *40(forty)* between these two wilderness experiences. That is, that of the Israelites and our Lord Jesus Christ. The Israelites spent 40years, Jesu...
