Message
A song writer, Ira Stanphill in 1950, wrote; “Many things about tomorrow, I don’t seem to understand, but I know who holds tomorrow and I know who holds my hand.” It’s evident that every traveller on the path to heaven faces challenges such as persecution, temptation, tests of faith, illness, needs, failures, and more. Despite this, we must remain steadfast and resolute in holding onto what we possess: salvation, sanctification, conviction, etc., as we journey towards heaven.
Some of those who started the journey with us have faltered along the way due to the ups and downs of life. We are urged to diligently contend for the faith that was once delivered to the saints as we engage in our daily activities. In the darkest moments before dawn, we must not look back but trust in the Lord, knowing that He will guide us through every situation. Therefore, let us remain prayerful, committed, and keep the flame burning so that at the end of the day, we will have abundant testimonies. Friend, don’t allow anything to make you miss heaven.
