LIVING FOR THE FUTURE

Text : *2 Corinthians 4:18*

While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.

Your today was once the future you saw yesterday. You must  know that the future is always your destination. It is therefore important for you to carefully live your today so that you can enter into a glorious and desired future.

It is clear from the study text that the things which are seen are temporal and the things which are not seen are eternal.

Today, we shall be looking at one of the things which you don't see-"The Future".  Ability to live in the future and to know the future is what makes God eternal. So, anyone who could live for that which is not seen, has also become an eternal being.

As a child of God, it is  wise for you to live for the future. For instance, when God told Abraham that in his seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed, it is possible that Abraham was only expecting God's blessing the nations he saw in his days and not the over 8 billion population in our world today. (Genesis 22:18).

If Abraham had only lived for his present days and not the future, he would have disobeyed God by refusing to offer  Isaac as a sacrifice unto God. But his obedience fetched him a glorious future in which you and I are now part.

 *Your today's obedience is your passport into your glorious future.* Abraham became the Father of many nations simply because he  obeyed God. It's equally imperative for you to walk in obedience while you are in your today. You cannot imagine the kind of access, rewards and privileges that generations yet unborn can enter in due to your obedience of TODAY!

 *Bible  Reading :* 

2 Kings 20:14-19.

 *PRAYER FOCUS* 

1.) Father God, help me to live beyond today and to live for your eternal purpose in Jesus name.

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...

IN MY NAME.

Text : Mark 16:17-18  And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. Having believed in the gospel (Good news of the resurrection of Jesus and His victory over Sin, Satan and Death), you now need to start using the name of Jesus authoritatively. JESUS said that in His name you shall cast out devils; you shall speak with new tongues; you shall take up serpents; and if you drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt you; you shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. This means that you will undertake all these in the authority of Jesus' name. No matter how small or powerless you may think you are in your own eyes. Once you believe in His name, you shall do all that He promised.   Unbelief was the sin that Israelites committed that wasted a whol...
