...Where I am there you will be also. (Understanding Sonship of the Kingdom)

-
John 14:3 [Darby]and if I go and shall prepare you a place, I am coming again and shall receive you to myself, that where I am ye also may be.

Church Hyminal 607
1 I'm but a stranger here,
Heaven is my home;
Earth is a desert drear;
Heaven is my home:
Danger and sorrow stand
Round me on every hand;
Heaven is my fatherland,
Heaven is my home.

2 What though the tempest rage,
Heaven is my home;
Short is my pilgrimage,
Heaven is my home:
And time's wild wintry blast
Soon shall be overpast;
I shall reach home at last,
Heaven is my home.

3 There at my Saviour's side,
Heaven is my home;
I shall be glorified,
Heaven is my home.
There are the good and blest,
Those I love most and best;
And there I too shall rest,
Heaven is my home.

4 Therefore I murmur not,
Heaven is my home;
Whate'er my earthly lot,
Heaven is my home:
And I shall surely stand
There at my Lord's right hand:
Heaven is my fatherland,
Heaven is my home.

As long as there is life on earth there is hope and I usually ask, what hope does the living have outside Christ Jesus? St. Paul admonished us that if our hope is only here on earth then we are of men most miserable. 

The joy of every believer just as our hymn clearly described is that heaven is our home, so when you are assured of this joy nothing on earth is supposed to distort your joy. Many people are carried away by the troubles of this world but as a believer always rejoice because Christ has overcame the world.

The bible admonished us also not to be anxious for nothing, in every thing we should in prayers, supplications and thanksgiving make our request known to God. Complaining and murmuring does not solve any problems, Jesus Christ alone holds the solution to all our heart ache.

Finally, as you go for this weekend, think of those things that has troubled you and make them known to God in prayers, and let the joy of the Lord and the hope of eternal life be your strength in all.

Prayers
Thank you most Holy Father because while it seems all hope is lost, you reassured us of eternal life through your Son Jesus Christ. Thank you because our worries and our labour has been on Jesus laid. Lord give us the grace to overcome the troubles of this life that we may be where you are through Jesus Christ our Lord! Amen

THE LOVE OF GOD

  The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen. (2 Corinthians 13:14|KJV- The Love of God is God's compassion for mankind, He loved the world and all that is in it and sent His son Jesus Christ to salvage it from destruction.  How can we measure the love of God? But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life. And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement. (Romans 5:8-11|KJV- The love of God is not something we can measure or say, He loved us ahead of time, before we became sinners and while we were yet sinners He loves us and died for our sake. His love demonstrated on t

Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. (Galatians 5:19-23|KJV Today we want to make clear the labour, now for the fact that you were asked to go out for evangelism or clean the church does not per se mean that you are a labourer, that you go out every morning for morning cry or always preaching in the bus does not make you a labourer in this context. That you own a ministry and run marathon activities does not mean you are laboring. Now what does it really mean to labour in the Kingdom

Who Sin? Man or Satan

 What is sin? Sin is an immoral act considered to be transgression against divine law.(1 John 3:4) Sin according to the scripture is act or omission against God by despising his person and Christian biblical law and by extention to others. Hence rebellion against God and neighbors(Deuteronomy 9:7, Joshua 1:18) SATAN SINNED Who is Satan? Satan was once an archangel who once sat before the throne of God. He lost his position before God the very moment inequity was found in him (Ezik. 28:15). He was the author and architect of sin and rebellion against God; he led other Angel's to rebel against God (Rev. 12:7-9) and deceived man to sin against God (Gen. 3:1-5) Luke 10:18 describes Satan as "LIGHTNING FALL FROM HEAVEN". Jesus in Luke 10:18 further noted the defeat of satan and how he has been casted down to earth from his previous position cf (Rev.12:9), this is to teach Christian people how powerless the satan has become. Also  John 8:44 referred to Satan as a murderer and a
