Ecclesiastes 3:11
"...You have put eternity into their hearts..."
Eternity- that's the real deal for everyone, believers and non believers alike.
Having the right concept of eternity will enable everyone to be better equipped for it.
God has placed 'eternity' into our hearts.
The fact is this...everyone of us will face death and be brought to our final eternal resting place.
Our spirit man knows the value of eternity, the realm where God dwells... being in a realm that is not bound by time.
Everything that we do here is preparing us to live in that realm.
For in that realm of eternity, there is no change.
You can't change where you are at after death.
You can only make the decision here, now, while you're alive on this earth.
Everything that we need to stay there can be found right here.
We carry our character with us when we enter heaven's gate.
And the sum of all our experiences and decisions defines who we are.
When you grasp eternity, it will help you make the right decisions-some of which may cost you here.
Decisions that are not 'eternity-minded' cramps your potential, here and forever.
The price for eternity can only be paid here on the earth.
God wants us to live as "victors" and "more than conquerors" while we are here in the earth
because thats what we really are in eternity- champion over sin, victorious over every curse and bondage.
Yet our hearts can be decietfully wicket.
Its difficult to make the right choices with eternity in mind sometimes.
It requires sacrifices and selflessness.
It requires the need to trust in an invisible God for His perfect unrevealed plans.
It requires discipline, while others are having fun yet you have to keep your faith because your eyes are on the end goal.
Everything you are, everything you have, everything that you have gone through and will be going through are there to prepare you for- ETERNITY.
It is a powerful source of motivation for every believer to carry their cross and follow Jesus... here while on this earth.
Set your eyes on eternity today.
Be eternity and kingdom minded.
Carry your cross here
Enjoy your reign later
