*MESSAGE:*
☆☆☆ We all came into this world naked and we shall all equally depart it naked one day naked to.
☆☆☆ We didn’t bring anything into this world, we shall surely leave one day, without taking anything along; irrespective of whatever we have acquired.
☆☆☆ This can easily be understood by the illustration of the story below. Please take time to read, you will really be blessed.
*The story*
One Sunday morning, a wealthy business man was taking a rest on his balcony with a cup of coffee in his hand. Suddenly, the activities of a little ant caught his attention. The ant was going from one side of the balcony to the other, carrying a big object, its food that looked like a leaf; several times, more than its size.
The man watched this scene for more than one hour. He saw that the ant faced many obstacles during its journey. But each time, during such impediments, the ant would pause, take a diversion and then continued its journey towards the destination.
At a point, this tiny creature came across a crack in the floor. It paused again for a little while, analyzed and then laid the huge leaf-like food over the crack, walked over the leaf, picked it up on the other side, then kept on dragging it and continued its journey.
The man was amazed by the smartness of this little ant, one of God’s tiniest creatures. The incident left the man in awe and forced him to have a deep thought over the miracle of creature. It showed the greatness of the Creator. Right before the man’s eyes, here was this tiny creature of God, lacking in size, yet equipped with brain to analyze, contemplate, reason, explore, discover and overcome its challenges.
Along with all these capabilities, the man also noticed that this tiny creature shared some human shortcomings. The man discovered later that the creature had reached its destination, a tiny hole in the floor, which was the entrance to its underground dwelling. It was at this point that the ant’s shortcoming that it shared with man was revealed.
How could the ant carry into the tiny hole, the large leaf-like food that it had managed and laboured to carefully bring to its destination? It simply couldn’t. So the tiny creature, after all the painstaking, hard work and exercising great skills overcoming all the difficulties on the way; just left behind its food and went home empty.
The ant had not thought about the end before it began its challenging journey and in the end, the large leaf-like food was nothing more than an unnecessary burden to it. The creature had no option but to leave it behind so it could reach its destination.
☆☆☆ The man learnt a great lesson that day. Is this not the truth about our lives? We worry about our family. We worry about our job. We worry about how to earn money. We worry about where we should live: A 5 bedroom or a 6 bedroom house.
☆☆☆ We worry about the kind of vehicle to buy: A Mercedes Benz or a Honda or a BMW or a Porsche or any latest available car. What kind of dress to wear and all sorts of things.
☆☆☆ At the end, only to abandon all these things when we get to the entrance of our destination. We don’t realize in our life’s journey that all these things are just burdens that we are carrying with uttermost care and fear of losing them. Only to find out at the end that they are useless and we cannot carry them with us.
☆☆☆ The only treasure that can last forever, is our relationship with the Creator, God. The question we need to ask ourselves is this: Am I living my life to please the Lord and to prepare for heaven?
☆☆☆ Let me conclude with this and I want every reader of this prayer message today to ponder of this verse of the bible👇
“For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?” – Mark 8:36 KJV.
*PRAYERS*
1. Father, don’t allow my search for the things of this world to blindfold me from preparing for heaven.
2. Oh God my father, whatever it will take, help me to make heaven.
3. Every unnecessary burden weighing me down, I dislodge you today in Jesus name.
4. Anything I am holding on to that can rob me of heaven, oh God my maker, remove such from my life today.
5. Please Lord, separate me from any relationship or association that will derail me from the pathway of righteousness.
6. Father, don’t allow me to block my way to heaven through my activities here on earth.
7. Open my eyes Lord to see only those things you want me to see.
*PROPHETIC DECLARATIONS*
I pray for you today and I decree, may the Lord replace your love for the things of this world with the love for heavenly things.
To somebody out there I decree, may your activities here on earth not close the gate of heaven against you in Jesus name.
To another individual I decree, may your love for money not lead you to your early grave in Jesus name.
Every unnecessary luggage, blocking your way to heaven, shall the Lord remove from your life before you close your eyes in death.
To as many as are trying to please men rather than pleasing God, I decree, the Lord shall deliver you today from that bondage you have caged yourself in Jesus name.
I pray, may the truth not condemn us on the day of judgement in Jesus name.
The grace to be heavenly focused, may we all receive today in Jesus mighty name.
Be blessed.
Happy Sunday Everyone
Shalom.
