OUR HEAVENLY HOME! – Acts 7:55 Devotional

OUR HEAVENLY HOME!

Acts 7:55 – Devotional

Acts 7:55

“Stephen, being full of the Holy Spirit, gazed into heaven and saw the glory of God and Jesus standing at the right hand of God.“

The word “heaven” is mentioned over 575 times in the Bible. The problem is in knowing how to get there. As often as possible I strive to insure we know for certain we are heaven bound.

Fiction writers have performed a horrible disservice by depicting that entry into heaven is gained by doing more good deeds than bad ones. They have even depicted a book showing which deeds outweigh the other. More good you go to heaven; more bad you go to hell. Beep!  Again, sadly that is false!

It is tragic that so many people have little or no concern about spiritual matters, yet they try to convince themselves that heaven is where they are going when they die. They think that just because they want to go there. Beep! Sadly that is false!

God’s Word says we must individually invite Him, Jesus into our heart. That insures us entrance into God’s glorious heaven. I urge you to invite your friends and family to receive God’s glorious invitation to His heaven. It is freely offered to us, but it cost God His own dear Son. What love He has for us!

May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions!

PRESS UPWARD! – Philippians 3:14 Devotional

by | Sep 14, 2022 | Philippians

Hear Pastor Cecil read today's Evotional

PRESS UPWARD!

Philippians 3:14 – Devotional

Philippians 3:14

“I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.”

I recall reading of a race in which two competitors were matching each other stride for stride as they neared the finish line. At the last moment one of the competitors glanced over to see where the other competitor was and in so doing lost the race by the narrowest margin. Any such distraction can divert a racer’s total attention from running the race.

Coaches often give the advice to their charges, to focus only on the race and try to avoid distractions. It is good advice that applies equally to our walk with the Lord. We may be tempted to look back at the glory days, or we may look back at the approaching enemy, but we are told to look ahead.

It is tragic to observe believers who have lost their race for the Lord because they took their eyes off the Goal. There are many distractions that can demand our attention and result in a spiritual derailment.

The answer to finishing our spiritual race with victory is to keep our eyes on the prize that lies before us. The things of this world will lose their appeal as we see Jesus only!

May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions!

JESUS WINS! – Revelation 22:21 Devotional

by | Sep 13, 2022 | Revelation

Hear Pastor Cecil read today's Evotional

JESUS WINS!

Revelation 22:21 – Devotional

Revelation 22:21

“The unmerited favor of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen!”

Today’s Scripture, is my paraphrase of the last verse in the Bible. It always reminds me of the elderly man who challenged a young man just home from Bible College. He told the young man he could sum up the Book of Revelation in two words. When the young challenged him the elderly man said; “JESUS WINS!”

There is much more than that in the Book of Revelation, but it certainly gives us the assurance that Jesus is the ultimate victor! Our struggles and trials here will mean nothing when we leave this old sin-sick world and go to be with the Lord!

There will be many troubles and trials that we may encounter in this life, but all of the agony and suffering will melt away when we see our Savior face to face. It may seem as if we are faced with an impossible obstacle in thus vale of tears, but we must always remember that this world is not our home, we are only passing through!

The next time you feel as if you have come to the end of your endurance, just look up to heaven and remember that – – JESUS WINS!

May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions!

PRAISE THE LORD! – Psalm 150:6 Devotional

by | Sep 12, 2022 | Psalm

Hear Pastor Cecil read today's Evotional

PRAISE THE LORD!

Psalm 150:6 – Devotional

Psalm 150:6

“Let everything that breathes praise the Lord. Praise the Lord!”

I think it would be safe to say that we can never praise God enough. He is now and forever worthy of our ultimate praise. Even those who deny the existence of God will one day give Him praise, but it will be too late for their salvation!

For those of us who have accepted Jesus Christ as our personal Savior, the praise we utter now will echo down through the ages of time. That is one reason why we should take every opportunity to lift our praise to Him!

When was the last time you took time to simply honor the Lord with your praise to His holy name? I think it would be safe to say that we have a deficit in our praise account. We can never have too much praise for our blessed Savior.

There will come a time when all of us with weak singing voices will join the heavenly chorus in praise to the King of kings and Lord of lords. Regardless of our singing ability let us right now – – PRAISE THE LORD!

May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions!
