Topic: OUR ETERNAL DESTINATION
Text: Read: 1 Timothy 6:18-19
Daily Bible Study: Gen. 39-40; Ps. 10

“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” (2 Cor. 4:18).

Someday, we who belong to Christ will experience firsthand the splendor and magnificence of heaven. Although we know our earthly lives are temporal, it is easy to forget what is most important – our eternal destination. In heaven, we will finally be free from Satan's assaults of temptation, deception, and division. There will be no separation or dissatisfaction. All of our restlessness and discontentment will cease.
Often we find ourselves regretting because we have said unkind words, harboured selfish motives, or exhibited wrong attitudes. In heaven, there are no painful memories, no nightmares, flashbacks, emotional baggage, or broken hearts. Anger and pain will be non-existent. As true believers, we have a daily challenge to live life to the fullest as we share the good news of the Gospel, obey the call of God on our lives, and grow in our walk with the Lord. Everything we do here on earth should be directed towards living a life that would usher us into our heavenly home when we pass on.
Apostle Paul told Timothy: “That they do good, that they be rich in good works…that they may lay hold on eternal life” (1 Tim. 6:18-19).  As you go about your day, ask God to help you look beyond the trials of this life. No matter what pain you are experiencing, it will not exist in heaven. Remember, God is your hope and your strength!

Prayer:  Dear Lord, help me to see past this moment and focus on eternity. Help me to fix my eyes on You and never lose sight of Your eternal purposes and promises. I pray in the name of Jesus Christ – Amen.

Good morning Beloved Brethren, Date: SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 2018 Topic: WALLS OF PROTECTION Text: Read: Proverbs 25:28 Daily Bible Study: Lev. 20-21; Matt. 28 “He that hath no rule over his own spirit is like a city that is broken down, and without walls” (Prov. 25:28). In Old Testament times, walls around a city were a symbol of strength and security. Without walls, a town would be left open to easy attack, not just from humans, but even from wild animals. When Prophet Nehemiah realized that the walls around the city of Jerusalem were in ruins, he wept and mourned certain days; fasted and prayed before the God of heaven (Neh. 1:4). As it is to a city, so it is to an individual; a person who has no self-control is like a city without walls. He or she is open to enemy attacks at any given moment. When we fail to exercise self-control, the spirits of lying, gossips, backbiting, hatred, tribalism, racism, jealousy, rage, frustration, bearing false witness, and more, can enter our...
