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...

WAY MAKER-2

Text: Isaiah 43:19 Behold, I will do a new thing: now it shall spring forth: shall ye not know it?  I will even make a way in the wilderness,  and rivers in the desert. God promised that He will do a new thing for you, and that He will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. He has done this before, and He will do it again even in your own life.  When the children of Israel left Egypt, the Egyptians pursued after them, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, and overtook them, encamping by the sea, beside Pihahiroth, before Baalzephon.(Exodus 14:9). Just like anyone would react, the Isrealites became so fearful because there is neither way forward nor back for them to escape. Before them was the red sea, behind them were the Egyptian armies. They became perplexed and began to murmur against Moses. It is possible you are also in a situation like the Israelites- No way forward, and no way behind. Things may appear like you are ...

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. In between these phases of eternity, He created man to dwell in Time. When man sinned, he fell short of God's plan, and death came in.(Rom 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 PAUSE  death HAD on man.  For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth 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 dwell? Everlasting life or Everlasting condemnation? Time is an opportunity given to man to trade for eternal life. You have limited time to exchange for eternal life in eternity.  Time offers you the opportunity to ga...
