Topic: A TOUCH OF HEAVEN
Text: Read: Hebrews 11:13-16
Daily Bible Study: Gen. 43-44; Ps. 11

“For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ” (Phil. 3:20).

Abraham realized God had a greater plan for his life; so he shifted his focus from the world around him to the world that was yet to come.
The same should be true of us. The trials we face in this earthly life cannot compare to the glory that one day will be ours. But we can also have a taste of heaven here on earth by surrendering our lives totally to God and enjoying His love and peace. Once we accept Jesus Christ as our Saviour, we are adopted into the family of God. Our names are not only written in the Lamb's Book of Life, they also are recorded in the eternal records of God's Kingdom.
With our citizenship not tied to this present physical world alone, we can live with a sense of eternal hope for the future. Those who honour God by living in obedience and submission to His will; who live as “strangers and pilgrims” on this earth (1 Pet. 2:11) and who desire and pursue a better country will be honoured by God. He will not be ashamed to acknowledge them as His very own children, for He has prepared a city for them. God has prepared the same city for you. Because Jesus Christ has saved you from your sins, you can enjoy a touch of heaven on earth as you worship and live your life for Him each day.

Prayer: Dear Lord, thank You for the gift of salvation unto us. Teach us to know more about You and enable us to serve You with all our heart and live in Your grace daily, we pray in Jesus’ name – Amen.

This is real Food for Thought: Prof. Wole Soyinka says : 'WHERE DID WE GO WRONG? 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...
