READ YOUR RHAPSODY OF REALITIES DAILY DEVOTIONAL. SET YOUR FOCUS ON ETERNITY- PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME THURSDAY, MARCH 24TH, 2016.
If in this life only
we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable (1 Corinthians 15:19).
God always connects
everything He does with eternity, because He thinks in terms of eternity. He’s
the eternal God, and always, He deals with things that last forever. In
Ecclesiastes 3:11 (NIV), the Bible says, “He has made everything beautiful in
its time. He has also set eternity in the hearts of men….” He brought eternity
to men so they can see beyond this world.
Sadly, some
Christians don’t realize this; hence their business, family plans, interests
and relationships aren’t connected to eternity. Everything God is interested
in, and all that He does, is connected to eternity. So, set your focus on
eternity. Set your mind on God’s purpose for your life. That’s what counts! It
has to be a revelation that you accept, endorse and imbibe into your spirit; a
knowledge that’s a controlling principle in your life. That means everywhere
you go, and everything you do, you’re inspired by God’s eternal purpose and
perfect will for your life.
The Lord is teaching,
inspiring, and strengthening you through His Word today, because He’s looking
beyond the present moments, beyond the month or year you’re in presently. He’s
even looking beyond all the years that you would live on earth. He’s looking at
what you’ll do with your life in this world, which would determine what
eternity would be for you. Therefore, look beyond this world.
CONFESSION:
I’m taught of the Lord to look beyond the present moments and connect everything I do here on earth to eternity. My choices and decisions concerning my family, job and everything else about my life are founded on the Word; I’m led and guided by the Spirit always, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Colossians 3:1(KJV) if ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. 3:2 set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.

John 3:16(KJV) For
God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever
believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
Mark 8:35(KJV) for
whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life
for my sake and the gospel's, the same shall save it. 8:36 for what shall it
profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? 8:37 or
what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? 8:38 whosoever therefore shall
be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of
him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his
Father with the holy angels.
