#01 Where Will You Spend Eternity?
Improving Your World, Making Heaven Your Home!

Our target is to go out beyond the "Christian camp" and improve the world according to the revelation that God gave us. "Go into the world and improve for me the world and the bad being." Says the Lord.

Where Will You Spend Eternity?
"Well," you ask, "how would I know?"
Thank God, according to the Bible, not only can you know, but you can choose where you will spend eternity.
Now we all believe—or at least most claim to believe—in the Bible as God’s Word. We believe in eternity and know that life is short. The Bible itself asks, “What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes” (James 4:14).

Many claim to believe in heaven and in hell, yet, unfortunately, show little concern over their eternal destiny. We are far more concerned about this life than the next, yet we know that eternity is endless. The Word of God describes eternity as being “for ever and ever” (Revelation 22:5).

Just think...an eternity to be spent forever, either in the perfect paradise called heaven or in the terrible torments of hell.

Surely we’ll agree that it is just good sense to prepare for eternity now, before it is forever too late. God says, “man is destined to die once, and after that to face judgment” (Hebrews 9:27).

“Well,” you say, “I believe in God, go to church, and live the best I can. What else can I do?”

Now believing in God, attending church, and doing one’s best are all admirable; yet, according to the Word of God, the Holy Bible, these cannot get us to heaven. Neither, according to God, can our church membership, baptism, confirmation, nor our good deeds attain for us eternal life.

But God has provided an answer to the matter of life and death, heaven and hell. It is an answer so simple it is frequently overlooked.

A religious leader named Nicodemus came to Jesus one night for help. Jesus told him, “You must be born again,” and expanded this to include all of us by stating quite emphatically, “I tell you the truth, unless a man is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God” (John 3:3). Pretty dogmatic perhaps, but these are the words of Christ Himself.

Some today, like Nicodemus, will ask, “How can a man be born when he is old? Surely he cannot enter a second time into his mother’s womb to be born!” (John 3:4). But Jesus answers, “Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to spirit” (John 3:6), stating again that one must experience a spiritual rebirth in order to enter heaven—“You must be born again” (John 3:7).

Now, have you been born again? Have you experienced this spiritual rebirth? This is the one thing, according to the Bible, that will determine your eternal destiny.

So, for those who really want to know how to be born again, here is the answer from God’s Word.

We must recognize that we are sinners, that we’ve all violated God’s laws. The Bible says, “for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God....There is no one righteous, not even one....There is not a righteous man on earth who does what is right and never sins....If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us....If we claim we have not sinned, we make him out to be a liar and his word has no place in our lives” (Romans 3:23,10; Ecclesiastes 7:20; 1 John 1:8,10).

We must repent of our sins. The Bible says that God “commands all people everywhere to repent” (Acts 17:30). Jesus said, “unless you repent, you too will all perish” (Luke 13:3). And it is not so difficult to repent as we pause to think of what our sins have cost God. It was for our sins that God, the Creator and King of this universe, left His home in heaven and came to earth in the Person of Jesus to suffer and bleed and die—that we might be forgiven. “This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us” (1 John 3:16). Then Jesus rose from the dead, proving His victory over sin and death.

We must receive Christ into our hearts and lives as our Savior. We read in the first chapter of John, speaking of the Lord Jesus, “He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him. He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him. Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God” (John 1:10–12).

The moment we open our hearts to the Lord Jesus and place our complete trust in Him—and Him alone—as our Savior, God promises to forgive our sins, save our soul, and reserve for us a home in heaven. Then, on the authority of the Word of God, we can know where we’ll spend eternity. God says, “I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life” (1 John 5:13). And Jesus promises, “whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be condemned; he has crossed over from death to life” (John 5:24).

Now, are you willing to settle the matter of your eternal destiny? Will you do it? You can, right this moment. I sincerely hope that you will.

I am concerned about eternity and am willing now to repent of my sins and receive Jesus Christ as my Savior. I hereby do so, committing unto Him my salvation and eternal destiny.

#02 Don't be deceived,
Heaven and Hell
are Real!
Improving Your World, Making Heaven Your Home!

My Friend, the ETERNAL home of your soul is in YOUR hands.

Where Will You Spend Eternity?

Treasures in Heaven
Matthew 6:19-21
V19 Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal.
V20 But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal.
V21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
V22 The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are good, your whole body will be full of light.
V23 But if your eyes are bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light within you is darkness, how great is that darkness!
V24 No one can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and Money.

Do Not Worry
Matthew 6:25-34
V25 Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes?
V26 Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?
V27 Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life[a]?
V28 And why do you worry about clothes? See how the lilies of the field grow. They do not labor or spin.
V29 Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these.
V30 If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?
V31 So do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?'
V32 For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them.
V33 But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.
V24 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

Ask, Seek, Knock
Matthew 7:7-12
V7 Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.
V8 For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.
V9 Which of you, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone?
V10 Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake?
V11 If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him!
V12 So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets.

The Narrow and Wide Gates
Matthew 7:13-14
V13 Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it.
V14 But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.

The Ten Commandments
Exodus Chapter 20

You shall have no other gods before me.
You shall not make for yourself an idol.
You shall not misuse the name of the LORD your God.
Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy.
Honour your father and your mother.
You shall not murder.
You shall not commit adultery.
You shall not steal.
You shall not give false testimony against your neighbour.
You shall not covet.

The 9 Fruits Of The Spirit!
Galatians 5:22-23
V22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness. V13 gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.

#03 Improving Your World, Making Heaven Your Home!

Look at the word “Your” there, your world your home. God has given us a freedom of choice. “Your world, your home” You see, only you can make your world the way you want it to be! Only you can make heaven your home. That is why it is often said the ETERNAL home of your soul is in YOUR hands. Let me repeat this again, the ETERNAL home of your soul is in YOUR hands. That it is to say, making heaven your home! Only you can make heaven your home and only you can improve your world in order to attract heaven and not hell. My friend this is tough and is difficult.

I want to talk to you about where will you spend eternity?

Where Will You Spend Eternity?

YOU SEE!
Where will you spend eternity is a question we don’t often ask people or even ourselves. May be because we believe that God is merciful and therefore He will surely grant us a place in heaven, regardless the knowingly and the unknowingly sins we commit daily.

My friend, that it is not true. The word of God clearly tells us in Matthew 6:33 to seek first His heavenly Kingdom and His righteousness, and everything we are labouring for on this earth will be given to us as well.

I believe this scripture applies to your lacks, such as perhaps, you have no children of your own, no husband of your own, no wife of your own, no car of your on own, no house of your own, you don’t have good education, you are an illegitimate child, you can’t afford three square meals a day and you are barely making it through etc.

If anyone is patient with endurance and not being consumed by sin as a result of lacks in your life, for God who created you knows how to feel every gap in your life. If you seek God always, you will never feel it much that you lack anything.

I think that is the more reason the word of God says in Matthew 5:3 “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. That does not mean you have to be poor, so that you can go to heaven. It’s simply means that in all your problems you still find it in your heart to love God by keeping his Ten Commandments such as in Exodus Chapter 20.

You shall have no other gods before me.

You shall not make for yourself an idol.

You shall not misuse the name of the LORD your God.

Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy.

Honour your father and your mother.

You shall not murder.

You shall not commit adultery.

You shall not steal.

You shall not give false testimony against your neighbour.

You shall not covet.

And it is obvious, that whoever keeps the Ten Commandments will naturally produce the 9 fruits of the spirit, which the Bible mentioned in Galatians 5:22-23. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law”.

Therefore friend, I urge you to look into this matter and ask yourself, where will I spend eternity?

You see, it is easier for everyone to stand right by the casket of a loved one at the funeral service, whose journey is over, here on earth, and naturally feel for this person with a strong believe that is going to make heaven. But deep down in our hearts we may be wrong, because this person lived a very reckless and sinful life style while he was here on earth.

Friend, God does not welcome sinners into his dwelling home. “If you were to be God which you are not anyway, will you welcome such an evil person to live with you for Eternity?” Even despite of all your concerns and worries for him, for you told him and gave him enough life to know and do what he must do before coming to put up with you. But yet he wouldn’t be bothered because he thinks you are such a nice person. Friend we are talking about Heaven where God dwells.

God has made it possible for us to come and dwell with him in heaven and that is while He sent His one and only Son, Jesus Christ in John 3:16, For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

Think again and think well friend, where will you spend Eternity? God bless. Thank you for visiting our website and for listening to our pod cast. Please stay tune and don’t go away, we will back shortly.
