WHAT IS HEAVEN LIKE?
11TH NOVEMBER, 2021
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Acts 1-3
FIRE SCRIPTURE: Revelation 21:1-3
1Now I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away. Also there was no more sea.
2 Then I, John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
3 And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, “Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them and be their God.
MEMORY VERSE: ”Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.” – John 14:1-3
MOTIVATIONAL QUOTE:
Heaven is a place of alluring glory. Don't miss it.
PRAISE WORSHIP: Take a worship song as led by the Holy Spirit.
PROPHETIC
WORD FOR TODAY:
HELL
WILL NOT BE YOUR PORTION, IN THE NAME OF JESUS.
THE MESSAGE:
The
term "heaven" refers to three realms: the atmospheric
heaven, the second heaven and the third heaven which is the abode of
God. The third heaven is the focus of today's devotional. The
Scriptures speaks of heavenly spheres beyond that which is visible
from the earth. It is called the highest heaven (Deuteronomy 10:14).
The Psalmist also wrote: "Praise Him, ye heavens and you waters
above the heavens (Psalms 148:4).
The third heaven is the home
of God. However, the Bible is clear that God cannot be limited to one
geographical place. He is omnipresent. "Behold, heaven and the
heaven of heavens cannot contain you" (1 Kings 8:27). Obviously,
heaven is a place where the people of God will reign in eternity.
Jesus has already made that clear in our Memory Verse. He said He was
going to prepare a place for us and would come and take us so that we
would be with Him forever. Are you genuinely preparing to spend
eternity in heaven with Jesus?
Revelation 21 gives us a clear
picture of what heaven is like. It is a place that shines with the
glory of God. The architectural design of heaven is a masterpiece.
The wall is made of jasper, and the city of pure gold, as pure as
glass. The foundation of the city walls are decorated with every kind
of precious stone and the twelve gates are twelve pearls. The street
of the city is also pure gold, like transparent glass. Heaven is a
place of indescribable beauty, alluring glory and awesome holiness.
Heaven is real. Unfortunately, some people are denying the reality of
this beautiful place (2 Peter 3:1-11). Heaven is however not for
sinners and unserious Christians. No unrighteous person shall enter
therein.
The
Bible, in Revelation 21:8, provides a list of those who will not
enter heaven: the fearful, the unbelieving, the abominable, the
murderers, the whoremongers, sorcerers, idolaters and liars. Are you
sure of eternity with Christ? Consider this.
PRAYER
POINTS:

head, receive heavenly revelation, in the name of Jesus.

6.

the devil likes it or not, in the name of Jesus.
