Believers’ country

The home of believers is in heaven. This is the reason they are to live a holy and righteous life on earth. Our services and labour for God is geared towards this unique country — heaven.

Heaven is a country far above every other country in beauty and splendour. It is a country where believers can live forever and die no more. God, himself, built this country for the purpose of the saints. Believers do not die, but sleep and transit to this country where they will live forever and behold the face of the Lord.

Heaven is a glorious country where sickness, sorrow, death, poverty, among others have lost their grips. There is neither night nor day in heaven and no need of light because the glory of God lightens everywhere. There are no tears in heaven because death has been swallowed in victory. It is an incomparable country whose streets are made of pure gold.

The beauty of heaven is overwhelming and no human explanation can capture it. The gate of heaven is widely opened at all times. The stone with which it is constructed are so beautiful and cannot be found on earth. It is not a place for sinners. On the way to this country are fiery trials that make people’s heart faint, which is why some people who started the race to heaven were unable to make it. At times, discouragement intercepts the course of this journey.

Not everybody that comes to church will make it to heaven on the last day. This is why the Lord encouraged believers to strive to enter. It is so serious that the Lord had to use the word “strive” because he knows that the way to heaven is full of little stones of distractions that can make men to fall. Every believer should strive against sin. Naturally, a believer does not have anything to do with sin. To him, it is an abomination. Christians should also fight against the five sense organs of the body.

Believers are to fight against worldliness. The world and Christians are not the same. The Lord warns believers not to have anything to do with unbelievers. Believers should have no association with unbelievers nor have fellowship with them. Their ways are in sharp contrast with ours.

Carnal Christians will forfeit heaven because they are full of strife, envy, malice and jealousy. Compromisers, lukewarm, and backslidden believers cannot enter heaven. The right to heavenly citizenship is salvation. Therefore, make haste to obtain yours.
