WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO TAKE TO HEAVEN?
“And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them.”
Revelation 14:13 (KJV)
Main Text:
Most Christians often say “why do you need riches or prosperity? You are not going to take it to heaven. Why do you need to build a house? You’re going to live in heaven.” Yes! We are going to take our gold, silver and precious stones to heaven, not out literal gold, silver or precious stones, but what Apostle Paul refers to as our good works. Those are the works that will not burn in judgement. Those works will earn a reward.
This is what Apostle John is saying in the verse above, that the good works follow those who die in the Lord. Prosperity and riches are a tool that we use in order to do the good works God has called us unto. We use prosperity for God’s purpose and when we die and go to heaven, the good works we did will follow us. This is why God blesses a person with prosperity, that is why He bore the curse of poverty on the cross, so that we might become rich and do good works.
Our Lord Jesus has died on the cross for everyone, giving us the same benefits in God, therefore it’s important we accept Him and build a relationship with Him that we may know God’s blueprint manual for our lives.
Confession: I declare, I am prospering and in good health. I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me, I make my way prosperous and I have great success. I have the power/ability to make wealth, I have more than enough to give towards the Kingdom and be a blessing to the needy around me.
