From Our Pastor’s Desk
1st Peter 2: 11-12 - “Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul; having your conversation honest among the Gentiles: that, whereas they speak against you as evildoers, they may by your good works, which they shall behold, glorify God in the day of visitation”.
Brethren, this world is not our home 1st Peter 2:11 - Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrim s, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul; We are strangers, pilgrims, aliens in this world.
One day, we’re going back home. How would you want to be remembered? Compared to eternity, life on this earth is very brief and short. Yet, we have this brief time to determine where each will spend eternity.
The life that we are living is not the ultimate. Life on this earth is too short to let simple things ruin it and ruin the Ultimate for you.
When someone talks behind your back, you let that single thought destroy the rest of your moments. When someone makes fun of you, you start thinking ways to teach him a lesson.
We struggle for fame, for positions, status, recognition, etc. God forbid, but have you ever asked yourself, what will happen if I die today?
Where will you spend eternity? What happens to your wealth, houses, fame, status, and your soul? The Psalmist considered this too, and said in Psalm 90:12, “Teach us to realize the brevity of life, so that we may grow in wisdom"
May the Lord grant us wisdom in preparing for eternity than this very brief life on earth, in Jesus Name You will have good success this 2023.
Remain blessed.
Shalom.
