Heaven is for the Faithful and Obedient Worshippers

Heaven is for the Faithful and Obedient Worshippers Devotional Reading August 18, 2023

“If you love Me, keep My commandments.” —John 14:15

Our heart’s desires are revealed by our thoughts, spoken words, choices, and lifestyles which reflect our surrender and commitment to love and obey Christ.

“And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart.” —Jeremiah 29:13

The Christian believer who stays in the presence of God through faith and prayer has the desire to change and to know the will of God. Prayer invites God into our lives and keeps us in His presence.

As we abide in Christ and learn more of Him [through surrender. consistent prayer, and Bible study] our characters are transformed into His likeness. It is the faithful and obedient believers who prayed continuously and surrendered themselves to God who will receive the reward of eternal life.

Reflection: Am I staying connected to Jesus, the Source?

As we continue in our earthly journey, our spiritual awareness must remain on a heightened level. Natural disasters, wars, famines, and strife are strong indicators that time is running out. We must decide if Jesus is our First Love and if He is then it is time to separate ourselves from all worldliness—people, places, and habits.

“And behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to give to every one according to his work. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End, the First and the Last.” —Revelation 22:12-13

Prayer: Lord, I ask You for an abundant spiritual blessing of inner strength through the power and presence of the Holy Spirit. Lord, help me to be rooted and grounded in love. In Jesus’ name Amen.
