You are not to be left in the dark about what
eternity is all about. Every day here on earth is like a point on an elongated
line which reaches eternity. Each omission places an eternal, irreplaceable gap
in your life in eternity. Living for
eternity means living and making choices that will position you properly in
eternity. It means living with eternity in view. Labouring for eternity means
doing things here on earth that will have an everlasting reward. Actually
everything an individual does here on earth, whether good or bad has an eternal
component to it. “My investments here are just to release an eternal credit to
my eternal deposits”. It is possible for a man to squander all that eternity
could hold for him within a short time. He can actually spend or squander here
on earth, what he could have kept in store for himself in eternity.
Most people misunderstand eternity. Because
eternity is everlasting, we think it is far. But there is only one step between
life and death. So eternity is just one step away. It may be a very costly
assumption for me to assume that you will finish reading this book before you
enter eternity. We erroneously think eternity is so far away. But it is just
one step away from here. There is just but a step between life and death. You
need to pray not to step into eternity unprepared. Regret must not follow you
to eternity, for it cannot be repealed there. If there is anything you enjoy
today that hinder you from stepping into life properly, it will become an
offence to you when you look at the loss it will bring to you in eternity. Each
day is eternal in this sense. It represents an eternal line. How will you give
account of the days you spent in what has no relevance in eternity? Where will
you spend your eternity? This is a good point for you to pause and pray.
You call yourself a Christian but you are still
living in sin? Have you made a commitment to follow Jesus as a lady but
somebody is still tampering with your body in fornication or adultery? Are you
a Christian and yet making friends with the devil? Do you still tell lies,
despising the word of God that says that all liars, whether they specialise in
white, black or yellow lies as people may call it, have their part in the lake
of fire? Do you, even as a preacher, tell lies from the pulpit and exaggerate
testimonies? Do you as a trader tell lies to your customers in order to make
some extra profit? Do you hide under the excuse of business to tell lies? All
liars will end up in the fire that never shall be quenched.
In eternity, you enter into your permanence. You
enter into a world without end
