Bible Reading: Psalm 65, Revelation: 21
“And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away” – Rev. 21:4(KJV).
I am filled with great expectation and excitement at the thought of this day when I shall be ushered in along with other brethren into this glorious dawn. I have seen tears in my eyes. I have seen the death of very close ones, I have had sorrows, I have cried and have felt pains in my short sojourn on earth. I can attest to the fact that they are not experiences one should wish his enemy. To be promised of a place where all these are absent is serenity sublime and I cannot wait to be there. I look forward to it and that is the driving force of my zeal for the kingdom engagement activities.
Knowing deep in my heart that God cannot lie and that this is true, I pursue vigorously the agenda of soul winning in order to depopulate hell and populate the kingdom of God. It is because of this that I am driven to vigorous pursuit of divine agenda. When I look back to the anguish of pains, sorrows, tears and the agonies I have experienced and passed through, I become extremely possessive of pursuing the agenda of winning of souls into the kingdom. The joy and the hope that I will one day live in this glorious place promised by the Almighty God who cannot lie or fail, gives me the readiness of heart to sacrifice anything on this earth. This was what Apostle Paul meant in Philippians 3:8(KJV) when he said, “yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ.” While others are having great dreams of becoming very successful on this earth, my heart has gone beyond this earth to the world to come to live in that place that I defined as SERENITY SUBLIME
I am filled with great expectations and hope for the day that I will transcend into this blissful living , leaving behind this earth with its clouding of nefarious activities and hurtful experiences.
Prayer: Father, thank you for your plans, thoughts and expected end for me. I ask for grace to meet up with the demands of my expected end.
