In Ghana the retirement age is 60 years and as such at age 60 you are supposed to go on retirement and rest from your labour. During the days of Moses, God instructed him to tell the Levites to go and do service in the tabernacle at age 25 upwards and at the age of 50 years they should retire from service according to Numbers 8:23 - 26. Furthermore, the high priest is supposed to work until death according to Hebrews 7:23 and as such as a child of God you need to finish your assignment before you think of going to heaven. That is why sometimes people die and are made to come back alive and finish their assignment before finally going home since it is the will of God for every child of God to finish his or her assignment before he or she thinks of going home. As an Apostle of the Lord Jesus Christ I will like to walk you through some scriptures so that you can add to your knowledge and finally, I will end it with my own personal testimony to cushion your faith and the need to finish your assignment before leaving this earth. Our master Jesus Christ said his meat is to do the will of his father who sent him and to finish his work according to John 4:34 and according to John 17:4 Jesus Christ boldly said he has finished the work the father gave him to do and also when he received the vinegar he said it is finished according to ,John 19:30. Brethren, the master finished his assignment and as such he expect us also his children to finish our assignment before leaving this earth. That is why, bible says in 1 John 2:6 if we say we abide in him we should walk even as he walked and moreso we have been told to follow the faith of our fathers according to Hebrews 13:7. Moreso, during Paul's ministry he instructed Titus to finish the assignment he has begun according to 2 Corinthians 8:6 and in the same vain Paul told Archippus to take heed of the ministry which he has received in the Lord and fulfill it according to Colossians 4:17 and finally when Paul himself finished his assignment, he said he has fought a good fight and have finished his course and have kept the faith according to 2 Timothy 4:7. In conclusion I leave you with my personal testimony: when I began doing God's work for some years, things got very tough for me and moreso I was facing extreme persecution from my mother and siblings and also friends abandon me and as such I thought that the only option available for me is to die and go to heaven, but I never knew that I have to finish my assignment before going home and as such I was led to a brother in Christ who told me if I don't finish my assignment I should forget about going to heaven since it is not possible and as such later on the spirit of God confirmed what my brother in Christ told me by referring me to his word and made me changed my mind wanting to go home because of intense persecution and as such I will encourage my brothers sisters who are in the vineyard of God to be strong in the lord and endeavor to finish their assignment before they think of going home because if they don't finish their assignment they should forget of going to heaven since it is not the will of God for anyone to die without finishing his or her assignment. Lastly, base on this information, you will realize most at times when you finish your assignment, God will tell you to put your house in other because you are about to go home so that you don't leave the earth suddenly and as such when Paul finished his assignment, he ensured he put his house in other before leaving the earth and as such that is the reason why he told Timothy to come to him quickly so that he is not taken away suddenly according to 2 Timothy 4:9. Lest I forget, even though God expect us to finish our assignment, it does not mean we can live any how and as such we need to walk in holiness and righteousness so that we die in the lord after finishing our assignment according to Revelation 14:13 Till then, I say shalom and stay safe till the coming of the lord Jesus Christ.
