Bible in one year: 2 Corinthians 4-6

Memorise: So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God. Luke 12:21

Read: Luke 12:16-21

The greatest blessing you can give to anyone is to prepare the fellow for Heaven. Revelation 22:12 says:

Give a man a million naira; if he is not financially prudent and does not have the wisdom on how to invest it, after some time, there may be no evidence of having received such a sum. But if you give a man Jesus and prepare the fellow for Heaven, not only will he be your crown of rejoicing, his own joy will be everlasting. Tell all who are associated with you that if they are not born again, no matter how religious they are and no matter the position they occupy in church, they cannot enter through the pearly gates of Heaven. Also tell them that if they are born again but they are not living holy, they will also not be able to enter in. You can equally be a blessing by getting the sick healed or getting the needy to have supernatural provision from God through your ministry, but the fellow who is healed today will still die one day and face eternity and the one with abundance today will die and return naked some day. So it is better to give people Jesus and prepare them for Heaven.

The other day, someone was congratulating me that I was nominated as Number one among the living legends in Nigeria and 49th among the world’s most influential. I thanked him and replied: “Number one in Nigeria, and Number 49 in the world, then Number what in Heaven?” This is what is most important! When Jesus returns, He is not going to ask you what number you were in your country or in the world, but where you are placed in Heaven. If God likes you and gives you good health, you may live up to 120 years on earth but over there, it is forever. If you make it to Heaven, you will enjoy forever but if you go to hell, you will burn throughout eternity. Some years ago, a man attended the Holy Ghost service and met someone he was familiar with there. “So, you too are here?” He asked. “Yes,” replied the other man. “Really, for how long?” “For five years” was the reply. Then the man became excited and said: ”You mean, you knew the way to Heaven for the past five years and you never told me, yet you call yourself my friend?” Lead all your acquaintances to Jesus today! Don’t be like the rich fool!
