LONGING TO BE WITH HIM
Greetings to readers on this platform worldwide. Quite a while! This write-up is for all of us and is asking everyone of us a question. The question is, do you know what becomes of you tomorrow? Do you know what happens to you few minutes and seconds from now? Do you know your death day? Everyone knows his/ her birthday, but who knows his/her death day? No one knows. Are you sure of your salvation? Are you sure after living this world, you are reigning with Christ? Are you sure there is no spot on your garment? Are you sure you are without blame? Are you prepared for the roll shall be called? Are you prepared for the trumpet? Are you fit for the kingdom of GOD? Finally, are you longing to be with GOD? These questions are for us all, and should be answered in our hearts. The bible said, we shall not die but live to declare the glory of GOD. Yes, but one day everyone leaves this world, that verse is for us to live and be fulfilled before leaving the world.
However, as children of GOD we are to long to be with GOD. We are to remind ourselves, because we are not of this world; this world is temporarily for us, we still have a great place to reign with Christ, only if we are fit. The bible said, no one but his hands on the plough and looks back is fit for the kingdom of GOD. Many are not fit for GOD’S kingdom, many are not ready at all, the trumpet might sound anytime, or do you know your death day? You might think you will last longer, but not. It is appointed unto a man to die once, and after death judgment follows. What becomes of us after leaving this world? Hmmm!
Apostle Paul said in Philippians 1 vs 23: Sometimes I want to live, and at other time I don’t, for I long to go and be with Christ. It was because, he was so sure of his salvation, he has the confidence and boldness, he is reigning with GOD. That is how it should be with us, we are to be sure of our salvation, and not look back, we are to be focused and set our affections on things above and not on things of the world. Longing to be with GOD is us, sure of our salvation and us doing what pleases him. May GOD give us the grace to long to be with him (AMEN).
WORK ON THE WORD 2! David knew the essence of working on GOD’s word. He wrote in Psalm 33 vs. 4 (NIV): For the word of the LORD is right and true, he is faithful in all he does. He also hid GOD’s word in his heart that he might not sin against HIM. Psalm 119 vs. 11: Your words have I hidden in my heart that I might not sin against you. Storing GOD’s word in our heart and doing according to it is working on the word. Keeping GOD’s commandment is working on his word. Proverbs 7 vs. 1-2: My sons, keep my words, and lay up my commandments with you. Keep my commandments, and live; and my law as the apple of your eye. Furthermore, working on GOD’s word is being the hearer and doer of the word. James wrote in James 1 vs. 22-24: But be you doers of the word and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer; he is like to a man beholding his natur...
