It's a wonderful Friday morning here. A legitimate free day for me and I'm very grateful. It's been a while, I know. A lot has happened too, I'll share some in the next post but till then,enjoy what I woke up to today.
Saw this "Heavenly conscious but earthly useless" post somewhere this morning and it really got to me. Well it kind of summarized some of the things I've been thinking about.
I know for a fact a lot of us are like this. Like come on, do not be conformed to this world right? So we renew our mind not to become like Christ and think like him but to become like heaven going people. Those who would actually make heaven.
We think why invest when you don't know when you will die? We also are not selfish though, because that might prevent us from going to heaven after all God loves a cheerful giver so do the maths........ We give a lot but we are money wise. I was also like this for a period. Was young and barely had any thing to save or invest or give but I knew I would soon and it bothered me.
One the scriptures that liberated me however is Genesis 1:27-28
So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.
Be fruitful and multiply and REPLENISH the earth and subdue it!
There is indeed work to be done here and if all you do is plan how you'll go to heaven then you're only shortchanging yourself. I dare say you would most likely not fulfill your purpose here on earth.
God didn't send us here to just test if we should come back to heaven or go to hell. In fact he doesn't want anybody in hell, it wasn't made for us. This is exactly why he sent Jesus to die for us and take our sins upon himself making us righteous - for as many that believe.
My fellow believers, being kingdom minded is to be focused on what God is doing right now on EARTH! Dreaming with Him and patnering with Him to see His Kingdom come and His will be done on Earth.
Heaven is not the goal, Heaven is our Home.
So while you're here on 🌍, have dominion through Christ and fulfill that purpose God made you for.
When next you hear the word Kingdom don't think heaven, well except "as it is in heaven so it would be on earth" or there about.
.......and about that investment part, still invest. It might not be for you directly in the longrun. A wise man leaves an inheritance for his children's children.
