Heaven Readiness

Horizontal Christianity

Posted on by Ebun E

A few decades ago, a young lady wanted to know if Christians were supposed to be happy. I remember her till today because of the pain and sorrow that must have prompted such a question. But I also rejoiced with her for having the courage to ask. I assured her that Christians are the happiest people on earth. We have a home in heaven; Jesus is our big brother and God is our Father. I could go on.

But if you have flat Christianity like that lady, you will know nothing of this joy and adventure. Did I hear you say God forbid that your Christianity should be flat? I am with you there. With God as our father, you can jump out of bed every morning and ask, “what are we doing today?” Of course, you will go to work or whatever but the minute-by-minute play is in your father’s hands. Unfortunately, religion breeds flat christianity.

Lifetime Design

Posted on by Ebun E

You are a believer who sees God in your lifetime design. And that is how you know that the temporary affliction is not from satan if you are obedient to God. When you learn to enjoy and run the race He sets for you, God puts his banner of love over you. He becomes your Jehovah Nissi. Every race you run results in a victory and as you cross the finish line, that banner is right there. 

That race is not necessarily athletic. It could be in your studies, your job or business, or in your relationships. Once you see the hand of God in everything that happens to you, you emerge victorious.

Conversion Or Consumption

Posted on by Ebun E

Before you can throw yourself on the well-known mercies of God and avoid being consumed, you must be a member of his family. That is, you either experience conversion or consumption. That is why we want to briefly consider these two options open to you. Unfortunately, there is no third option for those who like to be neither cold nor hot and enjoy being lukewarm.

How many of us have never wished that God’s standards were not so rigid? That he would allow us to be lukewarm at times instead of insisting we must be hot for him. Even now, you wish you could partake of God’s mercies without having to be related to Him. Sorry, there are only two options. You either experience conversion or consumption. Many believers spend time praying against the enemy that threatens to consume them when all they need is conversion.

Forget Your Enemies

Posted on by Ebun E

If you please God, you can basically forget your enemies. This immediately gives you two options; spend all your life fighting against increasing enemies. Or forget your enemies and focus on pleasing God. I counsel you to choose the second option. Do you suppose Enoch, the one who walked with God and did not taste death, had no enemies? He must have had some since the devil was there right from the beginning. But God causes your enemies to be at peace with you if your ways please God, as we see in Proverbs 16.7.

Forget Not

Posted on by Ebun E

Forget Not God’s Present Benefits. This lesson was once beautifully demonstrated by a young lady. You know how TV correspondents swarm you when you accomplish anything, right? Well, they were in her face when she came second in a global competition. How was she feeling that she did not come first? She looked straight into the camera and said she was still too busy enjoying her present position. Good for her! She chose to enjoy what she has achieved instead of setting it aside while she reached for higher goals. It is a lesson we need to learn

Making God A Liar

Posted on by Ebun E

Do you receive instruction from God’s mouth or is it from your pastor’s lips? Do you lay up God’s words in your heart? Then when you decree a thing, God will say yes and establish it. There are many other conditions between verse 21 of Job 22 before we come to the decreeing part. Unless we fulfill those conditions, don’t pray about decreeing a thing. Stop making God a liar.
