Greetings brothers and sisters in the Lord. I have a wonderful message to share with you today and as such I have entitled the message " I GO " which I picked this theme from John 14:1 - 3. When Jesus Christ was departing the earth to the father, he gave assurance to the disciples that he is going to prepare a place for them and when he is done preparing the place, he will come again and take them to where he is and as such he was not talking to only the disciples but to you and me as well according to Mark 13:37 which says that what I say unto you I say unto all. This message Jesus Christ told the disciples implies that, there are some things he expects them to be doing whiles he is gone to heaven to prepare a place for them so that they don't find themselves wanting when he comes for the second time and as such I will talk about 3 things believers are supposed to do in other for them to get access to the kingdom of God which is not the only these things they are supposed to do but for the sake of time I will touch on three things to enable believers make heaven if they do them.
First of all, believers are supposed to walk in perfection in other not for the devil to accuse them before God which will hinder their going to heaven. This is the reason why when Abraham served God for 24 years after he has been called at the age of 75 that he should walk before God and become blameless since there was an aspect of Abraham life that was not right in the eyes of God according to Genesis 17:1 - 2 and as such God told him to be blameless in other for what he has promised him to come to pass. This is the reason why during Jesus Christ ministry he said we should be perfect even as our heavenly father is perfect according to Matthew 5:48 so that the devil does not accuse us before God since he is the accuser of the brethren according to Revelation 12:10.
Secondly, what believers are supposed to do is that, they are supposed to guard their heart with all diligence since from the heart comes the issues of life according to Proverbs 4:23. The question now is, how do we guard our heart with all diligence? It is simply by reading God's word and putting it into practice, praying daily with all perseverance, fasting and witnessing about him to others and as such when we do that we will be able to guard our heart with all diligence. If we do not guard our heart with all diligence we will sin like anyone else, since out of the heart comes fornication, lies, stealing etc and as such if one desire to go to heaven then there is a need for him/her to guard his/her heart with all diligence. That is why, bible says in Psalm 119:11 your word have I hidden in my heart that I may not sin against you and as such if you hide God's word in your heart it will enable you guard your heart with all diligence so that you don't sin against God.
Finally, if Jesus Christ is going to prepare a place for us then we need to examine ourselves whether we are in the faith unless we fail the test according to 2 Corinthians 13:5. As a child of God, there is a need to examine your life regularly whether you are in the faith so that you do corrections in your life where the need arise so that when Jesus Christ comes for the second time we do not find ourselves wanting. The question now is, by what means can we examine ourselves? If you want to examine yourself there is a need for you to use the bible as a mirror according to James 1:22 - 24 and fast and pray to God to enable him point out the short comings in your life to you according to Isaiah 30:21 so that you amend your ways when the need arise. If believers follow these principles I have enlightened them about today and also read my entire book that is " I GO " on Kobo.com alongside the bible and put it into practice they will be well prepared for the coming of Jesus Christ so that they don't miss heaven. Till then, I say shalom and stay safe till the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
