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.

WAKE UP NIGERIAN YOUTHS!'~~~ "Awolowo was 37 years, Akintola 36, Ahmadu Bello 36, Balewa 34, Okotie-Eboh 27 and Enahoro 27 And they led the struggle for Nigeria Independence after the death of Macaulay. Only Zik was 42 at the time! In 1966, the first military coup was led by K Nzeogwu who was 29 years and countered by M.Mohammed 28, T. Danjuma 28, I. Babangida 25, J. Garba 23, Sani Abacha 23, and M. Yar'adua 23, And brought into power Y. Gowon 32, Ojukwu 33, Obasanjo 29, And Buhari 24! Most of the military governors who governed the states under the successive military regimes were under 30 years. Also, the brief democratic dispensation which interjected the military interregnums also saw some Senators and members of the House of Representatives, in particular, populated by persons under 30! Under 30's were also not in short supply with a...
