PREPARE NOW FOR ETERNITY

Written by Julie Inu Umoro 

Luke 16:19-24

[19] There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day: 

[20] And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores, 

[21] And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores. 

[22] And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried; 

[23] And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. 

[24] And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame. 

Glory and honour be to God our King Eternal forever. Today is Wednesday, and the midweek is already here. Everyday moves us closer to the end. Let us make sure our Salvation daily.

Dearly beloved, I will advise that you read from Verse 19 to 31 of Luke 16, to capture the entire story.

The story of the Rich man and Lazarus is a clear testimony that Heaven and Hell exist. Before we dive into the story proper, I want you to know that the rich man did not go to Hell because he was rich nor did Lazarus go to Heaven because he was poor.

From the story, the rich man failed to use his position, fame, and resources to help the needy.

In Matthew 25vs33-46, the Sheep and the goats were judged based on how they impacted on the vulnerable and the less priviledged while on earth. This act needs a heart of love. Love is in deed and not in words.

1 John 3vs18.

Beloved how are you Impacting lives with what God has given to you?

This can be likened to a man who gave his servants money and travelled. On his return, he called for accountability. Some put what they got into use and doubled what they were given. He commended and rewarded them. But one buried his own and on the master's return, he gave him back what he recieved. His master condemned him, took it from him, and gave to those who know how to utilise what they recieved, and sent him away empty.

Matthew 25vs14-30.

Unlike the rich man in our Bible text, please, use what God has given to you to touch other lives positively, so that God will be pleased with you and reward you accordingly both here and in the hereafter.

I have come to realise that untill one loves like God, there will be no compassion. It is only a heart full of compassion that can be moved to visit those in Prison, Orphanage, Hospitals, Old people's home, and so on and so forth, just to give and share love with them to alleviate their challenges.

Today, let us all turn a new leaf and pray for a heart filled with the God kind of love, so that we can show compassion to others. Remember, it is love that made God, give us Jesus who died to save us. Let us develop this kind of love so that we can live the kind of life pleasing to God. When we live to please God here on earth, eternal life in heaven will be our reward.

Also remember, there's nothing we have on earth that is ours. All we have were given to us by God. Let's use what we recieved from God to bless others too because we won't need them in eternity but we will be judged on how we used them while on earth.

Beloved you must be genuinely born again to have this God kind of love.

Are you born again?

Have you surrendered your life to the Lord?

Are you washed in the Blood of the Lamb?

Let us all pray and rededicate our lives afresh to the Lord.

Lord Jesus, I surrender to You. I confess, forsake, and repent of all my sins. I am very sorry. Forgive me Oh Lord. Wash me from all my unrighteousness. Write my name in the Book of Life.

Thank You Lord, that I am restored as heaven for me is non negotiable.

God alone is my Source of health, love, peace, joy, and strength.

Matthew 25:34-36

[34] Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: 

[35] For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in: 

[36] Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me. 

PRAYERS

Heavenly Father please help me to do all within me to make it back to You in heaven after my life here on earth in Jesus name. Amen.

BE READY FOR ETERNITY WITH GOD

Written by Julie Inu Umoro 

Revelation 3:20-22

[20]

Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. 

[21] To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne. 

[22] He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches. 

Everyday is a great blessing and a miracle. Let us celebrate God for sustaining, and preserving us till now. Thank You Father Lord in Jesus name. Amen.

The reason the Lord Jesus gave us the great invitation in Matthew 11vs28, was because He loves us so much and will not want any of us to suffer here on earth, but He will never force anyone to come to Him or to love Him.

He had always had us in mind. His thoughts are always on how to help those of us who had accepted Him, who He could called His own.

In our Bible text for today, He went further, being passionate about our soul which matters in eternity, to say that He has moved closer to us and now is standing at the door of our heart and asking that we should open, so He can come into our heart to dine with us. He has always wanted to be in our lives.

Why Does He Want To Come Into Our Heart?

He wants to be in our lives so He can help us to do right, act right and live right so that we won't miss it at last. He is passionate about our souls hence He is doing all He can to make sure that when the trumpet shall sound for us to return home, we will return to Him. He does not want to lose any of us.

When the trumpet shall sound and the saints begin to gather, there's going to be a roll call up yonder. He wants you and I to be there when the roll is called up yonder. As important as that will be, He will never force anyone to accept Him. He died for us on the cross and took away the curse, He was buried, rose on the 3rd day and is now sitting in heaven, expecting you and I to return to Him when we are done here on earth.

Everyone of us must prepare for eternity by living holy and righteous, serving God in His own terms, and winning souls for God's Kingdom by telling others how good God is, and how good He has been to you personally.

Eternity with God is worth all your preparations.

You are unique to God and He is passionate about your soul, so there's no sacrifice too great for you to make to be sure that when the trumpet shall sound, and roll is called up yonder, you will be there.

Let us rededicate our lives daily to God so as not to take chances.

Let us pray.

Lord Jesus, come into my heart. As I confess, forsake and repent of all my sins and that of my family now, please, forgive us. Wash us daily in the Blood of Jesus and be sure that our name is in heavens Book of Life. Thank You Father Lord for I am restored.

God alone is my Source of health, love, peace, joy, and strength.

[13] And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED

Written by Julie Inu Umoro 

John 17:4

[4] I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do. 

God is good, and He has done me well. Oh my Soul, rise up and praise the Lord.

Beloved, in the above Bible verse, Jesus our Lord was talking to God the Father, saying, He had completed His earthly assignment.

No wonder on the cross at Calvary, just before He died, He shouted It Is Finished.

John 19vs30.

This is why I pray for you and I now that, What Jesus has finished on the cross on earth can no longer finish those of us who believeand follow Him.

While on earth, Jesus taught us the way of life so we can make it back to God in the hereafter.

Jesus became man's Sacrificial Lamb that carried our debt load of sin and paid for it with His Blood and Life.

Jesus by that action, restored the glory of God that man lost through Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden.

He reconciled man back to God.

His assignment on earth included empowering man to do exploits for God which involves, Evangelism and Soul winning or what He called FISHERS OF MEN, and equipping man to heal and deliver, the sick, the oppressed, the bound and to bring out those in darkness to Gods Light.

Beloved, Jesus finished whatever thing at all on earth that could finish or destroy you and I. 

He equally finished what would have prevented us from making heaven at last. He destroyed the power of sicknesses, poverty, stagnancy, limitations, pride, boastfulness, sorrow, envy, etc.

In our Bible passage above, Jesus accomplished His mission on earth. Nothing was left undone. He paid in full. It was this accomplishment He announced publicly on the Cross of Calvary, when He shouted IT IS FINISHED!

Before Jesus left the earth finally after His resurrection, He told His disciples to wait in Jerusalem untill they recieve the Power from the Holy Ghost that they will need with which they will be His witnesses.

Acts 1vs8.

So dearly beloved , IT IS FINISHED means all negativities and contrary occurrences are ended in your life.

To understand this well, you must be fully surrendered to the Lord Jesus, by confessing, forsaking, and repenting of all your sins so that the Blood of Jesus can wash you clean of all unrighteousness and your name written in the Book of Life.

Even if you were once surrendered, because we are always falling in and out of sin, let us rededicate our lives back to God now again. God is merciful and will forgive if we genuinely ask for His forgiveness.

God alone is my Source of health, love, peace, joy, and, strength.

MEMORY VERSE

John 19:30

[30] When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.

PRAYERS

Abba Father, thank You for paying the debt of sin that I owe. I am glad to know that Jesus has finished what would have finished my family and I on that cross in Jesus name.

TAKE CARE OF YOUR SOUL

Written by Julie Inu Umoro 

Proverbs 4:23

[23] Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.

I have something more than gold. The Spirit of God in the heart of man is something more than gold. Thank You Father Lord, for Your Spirit that dwells in me.

Beloved, in our last post we talked about the importance of the Soul. Man is a tripartite. He is made up of the Spirit which is the breath of God. This will return to God immediately an individual dies. 

Next is the Soul which will go to face judgement immediately after death. 

Hebrews 9vs27.

The 3rd is the human body. 

Like I did mention earlier, we as humans pay so much attention to the body which is only a house for the Spirit and the Soul. The Soul is the one that really matters in eternity. 

Ironically, man pays much more attention to the body than the Soul. This is an error of ignorance. Yes, its true that the body needs food, drinks, clothes, and care to be healthy but what we do not know is that as the body needs food for survival, even so the Soul needs to be fed to survive too. Many of us have been starving our Souls. The Soul needs Spiritual food to survive. For many, their Souls are malnourished, lean, and lack what it takes to be healthy. They are badly starved.

We must watch this.

So How Do We Take Care Of The Soul?

The Soul needs to be nourished spiritually. Our way of life largely contributes to this. For instance,

1. Caring for the Soul requires avoiding sin. Sin is a killer.

In Ezekiel 18vs20, The Bible says that the Soul that sins shall die. Sin separates the Soul from God, like it did to Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. Sin kills the Soul Spiritually.

To care for the Soul, you must not allow sin, like Joseph avoided it in Portiphars house in Egypt.

Genesis 39vs9.

Resist the devil at all times and it will flee from you.

James 4vs7.

2. Keep your Soul Pure.

Don't harbour sinful thoughts. Quickly do away with impure thoughts. Don't entertain them.

You can't stop a bird from flying over your head but you can stop it from perching on your head and building a nest there. Sanitise your thoughts.

3. Be very prayerful. In prayers, you converse with God, and develop an intimacy with Him. Regular prayers, draw you closer to God and fill your heart with godly thoughts.

4. Make Praise, worship, songs, hymns, a way of life. This fills the Soul with great joy, and peace.

5. Feed the Soul with God's word regularly when you read the Bible. Study, memorise and search the Scriptures. By these you feed your Soul fat.

6. Fasting from time to time is a booster for the Soul, making it alive and deeply connected to God, thereby recieving messages, divine instructions and revelations. 

In fasting the body may be weak but the Soul and Spirit become very strong and can easily pick up signals ftom God.

Beloved, the real you is not your body but your Soul which we do not see with our eyes but this is what actually controls our being.

This explains why true children of God pay more attention to their Soul rather than their physical body. 

For me, I believe in taking good care of my body because it must be strong and healthy to house my Spirit and my Soul.

Nevertheless, I do not joke with my Soul, because I know that it is the Soul that matters to God. It is the Soul that will spend eternity either in heaven with God or in hell with the devil. 

The choice is yours to make while you are still alive. Do all you can to care for your Soul. Care for your Soul can only start when you are first of all born again and can relate as a child of God.

Surrender your life now to the Lord and let Him wash you with His Blood so that your name can be written in the Book of Life.

God alone is my Source of health, love, peace, joy, and strength.

MEMORY VERSE

Psalms 119:11

[11] Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.

PRAYERS

My Father and my God, please guide me on how I can cater properly for my Soul daily in Jesus most holy name. Amen.

THE WORTH OF A SOUL

Written by Julie Inu Umoro 

Mark 8:36-37

[36] For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? 

[37] Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? 

Eternal, eternal life.

Eternal, Eternal life.

I want to live Eternal life, God save my soul.

I want to live Eternal life, God save my soul.

This should be our daily heart cry as Jesus is coming very soon. Amen.

Beloved, did you know that the only thing you and I will do that will resonate in heaven and give God great joy is when a soul repents.

Luke 15vs7-10.

Have a passion for the lost and perishing. God places a high value on all souls.

See my dear, like I wrote a few weeks back, on that last day, God won't ask you how many, children, cars, houses, jets, etc you have. None of these earthly treasures matter to God. Besides, none of them goes into eternity with us. They are all for our earthly pleasures.

Let me shock you, that you married the most handsome guy or most beautiful lady brings God no joy. That you bought a jeep, lexus, yatch, built the state of the art mansìon, does not bring God any joy. That you built a factory, an industry, an estate, does not ring a bell in heaven, neither does any of them bring any joy in heaven. They are the extras that God has blessed us with.

What gives God joy is when a soul repents and is saved. When this happens, there is rejoicing before the Angels in heaven.

In Mark 16vs16-17, The Lord Jesus before He departed the earth after His resurrection, charged His disciples to go into the world and preach the gospel. He told them that who ever believes and is baptised, shall be saved but those that believe not are damned. 

Have you obeyed this charge, or you are still seeking and running after miracles or earthly possessions?

Matthew 28vs18-20 and

Luke 24vs46-47, corroborates this message of evangelism and soul winning.

Beloved, you are saved to save others. Time is running out. Jesus is coming soon.

What will be your excuse for not winning souls?

Wherever you find yourself and whatever you are doing, go after the last or perishing souls there.

Jesus died for souls. He didn't die for luxury.

As Christ's Ambassadors on earth, let us go after souls because that is the only assignment you and I were charged with before the Lord departed the earth. He is going to ask us for the souls of those near and around us hence He told us that when we recieve the power of the Holy Ghost to witness for Him, we should start from Jerusalem (our family) and spread out to the entire world.

Acts 1vs8.

Beloved, power, position, fame, cars, houses, wealth, riches, luxury are all good but none is worth any soul. 

Jesus Christ died on the cross to save our souls. He shed His Blood. He gave His life. This is to let you and I know how precious the soul is.

Again and very importantly, this our earthly body which many of us concentrate so much on and give so much attention to, and seek to please and satisfy by all means, will rot in the grave, IT IS DUST. IT WILL DECAY.

Ironically, the soul which recieves little or no attention, is the one that is going to face God and be judged. The Soul is the one that is going to spend eternity with either God in heaven or with the devil in hell.

Beloved take great care of your soul and that of those around you.

Your soul is worth much more than rubies, diamonds or any earthly treasure.

In our next post if Jesus hasn't come, we will look at how to take care of the soul.

Meanwhile, have you surrendered your life to The Lord Jesus? Are you born again?

Were you once born again and yet struggling with some sins?

Let us say this prayer.

Lord Jesus, I acknowledge all my sins. I repent, confess and forsake them all. Forgive me Lord. Oh Lord come into my heart. Take over. Wash me clean of all unrighteousness with the Blood You shed on the cross for me. Write my name in heaven's Book of Life. Thank You Lord for restoring me in Jesus name.

Congratulations.

God alone is my Source of health, love, peace, joy, and strength.

Mark 8:35

[35] For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel's, the same shall save it.

RESPOND TO GODS LOVE BY BEARING HIM FRUITS

Written by Julie Inu Umoro 

Job 9:10-11

[10] Which doeth great things past finding out; yea, and wonders without number.

[11] Lo, he goeth by me, and I see him not: he passeth on also, but I perceive him not.

Glory be to God who woke us up this morning. Father Lord thank You for an opportunity to be counted among the living this day. To You Oh Lord be all the honour, glory, and adoration, for You are the Doer of these miracles in Jesus name.

Good morning dearly beloved.

Today, we want to look at another aspect of our God, the Creator of the Universe.

Beloved, knowing and finding out who God is and what He likes, will enable you do His will. 

God's major will is that having tasted and seen how sweet God is, you will now begin to tell others about Him and what you do, to be His true child.

Ecclesiastes 11:5 says,

[5] As thou knowest not what is the way of the spirit, nor how the bones do grow in the womb of her that is with child: even so thou knowest not the works of God who maketh all.

He is a wonder working God whose way is past finding out.

How does a baby with bones grow in the womb? It's the wonder of God.

In 2 Samuel 16vs20-23:

17vs1-7, 23. Ahitophel who was king David's Advicer, betrayed the king when he joined with Absalom the king's son to fight against David his father. What did the king do when he heard of what Ahitophel did, he simply prayed to God to turn the advice of Ahitophel to foolishness. God heard him and did exactly what David prayed for.

Ahitophel felt disgraced when his counsel to Absalom was not taken even though he told them the right thing. HE COMMITTED SUICIDE.

God is the only One who can do and reundo. He is wonderful in all His ways and does as He pleases. We just need to follow Him because no man can understand God.

Beloved how do you explain that this great God of wonders appeared in the Fire with the 3 Hebrew men who were cast into the Fire because of Him. Note that this same fire killed those men who bound and cast the 3 men into the Fire.

Fear God!

Daniel 3vs20-26.

If you fear God, you will simply obey Him and do all to please Him.

All that God does for man is to prove His Sovereignty, love and care for him. What is expected of us is to seek for all we can do to please Him, and endeavour to return back home to Him after our sojourn here.

Beloved, I want to ask us a simple question that demands an honest answer.

How many souls has your life impacted to the point of saying because of you, I will give my life to Christ Jesus?

How many persons have you told about the love of God?

This is important because we are expected to bear fruits as long as we are here on earth.

Let us make our life count by being useful to God while here on earth.

We are not created to come here, live, wake up daily, bathe, eat, go to work return sleep and wake up next day to same routine.

There is a reason you and I are here on earth. Let us find out God's main purpose for our life and pursue it.

Our life is much more than food, drink, job, and clothes.

This knowledge starts when you give your life to Christ Jesus so He can be your Lord and Master.

Confess, forsake and repent of all your sins, so that you are washed in the Blood of Jesus and your name written in the Book of Life.

Do so now if you haven't done so.

God alone is my Source of health, love, peace, joy, and strength.

MEMORY VERSE

2 Samuel 15:31

[31] And one told David, saying, Ahithophel is among the conspirators with Absalom. And David said, O LORD, I pray thee, turn the counsel of Ahithophel into foolishness.

BUT FOR GOD

Written by Julie Inu Umoro 

Psalms 124:1-3

[1] (A Song of degrees of David.) If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, now may Israel say;

[2] If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, when men rose up against us:

[3] Then they had swallowed us up quick, when their wrath was kindled against us:

It's a beautiful and a wonderful day. I am alive today again feeling this great because the Lord, woke me up. Thank You Father Lord in Jesus name. Amen.

The Psalmist is reminding you and I by the Scriptural reference above that the only reason he was still alive was because the Lord was on his side. But for the Lord who had been on our side dearly beloved, you and I would have been history. 

The Psalmist's statement is from someone who has made God his Pillar of rest and backbone.

Beloved, did you know that but for God, that water you drank would have gone the wrong way, as that simple act had led to the death of many.

That Road you went out and came in from saw many involved in accident and some even died.

The issue is that we take a lot of things for granted.

Did you know that many went into the bathroom to have their birth and were brought out dead? You go in and out of the bathroom as you like and nothing happened and you think it's a small thing.

I know a few persons who woke up from sleep to go and ease themselves but slumped and died. You do that everyday and you are still alive.

I know a lady long ago who had eaten and was lying down on her bed and discussing with her husband. At a point she was no more responding. The husband jokingly said, what kind of sleep is this and began to call her name. When she wasn't responding, he went to tap her but lo and behold she was gone.

Beloved, that minor headache, that stomach pain, fever, etc you complained of but treated and recovered, had seen many people gone to their graves.

How many of us do stop to ponder about these and appreciate God. if it had not been for the Lord on our side, what would have been our case?

We dishonour God by taking a lot of these things for granted.

We major in complaining about what God has not done or done well, forgetting and neglecting all He had done and is still doing for us.

The other day there was this news of a vehicle that failed break at night, ran into a building and killed families sleeping on their beds in their own house. They didn't travel too.

I know a woman who visited her daughter and at night while they were sleeping, the ceiling fan that had been there for ages fell and hit this woman on her head and she died there. We have been using ceiling fans and all has been well with us and families.

In what way are you and I better than the victims and casualties, we have mentioned above?

No way at all.

It is because the Lord is on our side that's all.

He has said that no plague comes near our dwelling. 

Psalms 91vs10.

Yes, He watches over His word to perform it.

He has said that a thousand shall fall at our side and ten thousand at our right hand but none shall come near us.

Psalms 91vs7.

He had faithfully kept His promise as He is not a man that He should lie.

Numbers 23vs19.

The least that any wise person can do to continue to enjoy these uncommon benefits from God, is to seek intimacy with this great God who has sworn not to break His covenant with us nor alter the thing that has gone out of His lips concerning us.

Psalms 89vs34

Again let us seek to please Him as He created us for His pleasure.

Revelation 4vs11.

We please Him in humility, obedience to His word, reading and studying His word, living holy and righteous, then being committed and dedicated to Him. Let us also make prayers praise, worship and thanksgiving to Him a way of life.

It is only a surrendered life that can be empowered to live for God. You surrender to Him when you acknowledge your sins, repent of them, confess and forsake them, so that you can be washed in the Blood of Jesus and be enlisted in the Army of God with your name written in the Book of Life. 

Do so now if you haven't done so yet. Be born again.

God alone is my Source of health, love, peace, joy, and strength.

[1] (A Psalm of David.) The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?
