I swapped my phone with my husband and because I know it’s more expensive and sophisticated than mine, the care is absolutely different and I guard it jealously. The truth is my phone would have fallen from somewhere but with this no, I make sure it’s not close anywhere it can fall, neither will I stand up without checking if it’s on my laps.
It’s same with our life because it’s not ours, we do not have power over it and so we need to guard it jealously. Live the life as if it’s going to be taken back tomorrow.
I’m sure if a lot of us were told we will die tomorrow/ rapture we will do so many things to enter the kingdom of God. I know I will surely ask for forgiveness, be kind to people, be humble and guard that I do not commit any sin till then. So why can’t we live this lifestyle on a daily basis because we don’t know what will happen the next minute from now.
We must be willing to let go of the life we planned so as to have the life that is waiting for us. The truth is no matter how well we enjoyed in this world, it can’t stand near the one that is waiting for us in heaven. How painful will it be for us to live in duplex and water bed on earth for just 1- 150years then suffer in eternity or even suffer and struggle on earth and suffer again in the world after.
Is what you are living for worth Christ dying for? Christ died that we may live and have life in abundant. I’m sure my husband will take back his phone if I’m careless with it, he won’t watch the phone spoil in a matter of weeks, but our God is not like that, he gives us second chance and opportunity to repent. He gives hope for our tomorrow.
*Oh spirit of the living God, fall afresh on me, please melt me, mould me, fill me and use me for your kingdom project.
