Morning with Ebenezer

HOME WITH THE LORD

Yes, we are fully confident, and we would rather be away from these earthly bodies, for then we will be at home with the Lord.

2 Corinthians 5:8 NLT

For us who are in Christ Jesus heaven is our home, we are just passengers in this world. One day after each one of us finish the work that the Lord assigned us to do; He will call us back home according to His plan for each one of us. If you are a born again Christian and walking in the way of the Lord; to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord.

The question comes are you real prepared to go home when your time comes? Do you have confidence to say, for me to live is Christ and to die is gain? One other thing to ask yourself is if you are doing what the Lord wanted you to do in this life. Do you serve Him with all your heart or just because you were born in Christian family and grown up in the church environments?

One thing to remember always that there is a day which we will stand before the judgment sit of Christ. We will be judged according to what we did while living in these earthly bodies; if good or bad and the Lord will reward each one of us according to our deeds.

This morning, I just want to encourage you to live this life while preparing yourself to go home when your time comes. We have many men and women of God who endured the hardships of this world and at the end went home to be with the Lord. They lived in the same environments which we are in now but still they kept the name of the Lord in their hearts.

If there are some people who crossed on the other side to be with the Lord; then we don't have any excuse but to be faithful until death that we may go to be the Lord too. I know while we are in this tent of the flesh, we have burdens and so we complain. But this should not be the reason to prevent us living for the Lord until the day we die. May God give you strength to continue being faithful until death.
