MESSAGE
The ultimate goal of all genuine Christians is to
make Heaven at last. The essence of Jesus coming to die for humankind is to open
the door of Heaven that had been shut against us. He opened this door that we
may have access to the eternal bliss in Heaven. In Luke 19:10 Jesus said:
“For
the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.”
Nevertheless, only those that overcome will have
the power to make it to Heaven. The question then is: “What are we to
overcome?” First, we must overcome all the evil thoughts and imaginations of
our heart. The Bible in Proverbs 23:26 says,
“My
son, give me thine heart, and let thine eyes observe my ways.”
When we allow Jesus to come into our wicked hearts,
He gives us victory over the evil thoughts that defiles us, and that has made
us candidates of Hell fire. The reason why Jesus needs to come into our hearts
is that the heart of every man is desperately wicked according to Jeremiah
17:9:
“The
heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?”
What exactly is in the heart of man that caused the
Bible to declare it as desperately wicked? Jesus in Mark 7:21-23 reveals this
to us. He said:
“For
from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries,
fornications, murders, Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit,
lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness: All these evil
things come from within, and defile the man.”
Only those who overcome these ills will get the
power to enter into heavenly bliss. This is the reason why we all need Jesus
Christ who overcame sin and who possesses the power to live above it. The power
that overcomes sin is the power we need to make heaven. Jesus Christ is ready
to give you this power if you are willing to forsake Satan, sin and all forms
of wickedness. Therefore, you must make conscious effort to do away with all
appearances of evil like Joseph did while in Potiphar’s house (Genesis 39:12).
I pray for you that the days of your struggle with sin are over today in Jesus’
Name. The power to “go and sin no more” as was given by Jesus to the woman
caught in the act of adultery (John 8:11) shall be yours today in Jesus’ Name.
