A Message From the King "I'm Coming Back"

Message from the King (I am coming back)

Watch Night 2019 

Mark 8:34 –  38 NIV  

 1.  The Value of the Human Soul 

Your Soul has No earthly value 

Earthly resources, unless done with the intentions of building the Kingdom of God and honoring the King; has No eternal value!  

Our soul is our passport to our eternal destination (What we do in our Soul can determine Life or spiritual death/separation)  

Luke 10: 25 – 28 NIV 

Our Souls are given to us by God to express Love back to God; we express Love to God through our obedience to His word.

 John 14: 15 NIV 15“If you love me, keep my commands. 

Genesis  35: 18 ESV  18 And as her soul was departing (for she was dying), she called his name Ben-oni;[g] but his father called him Benjamin.

What can you exchange/Trade/Swap for your Soul? 

Luke 16:19 – 31 NIV  

Without spiritual insight from Jesus, this would’ve been the most tragic and horrific story!  

Lazarus was sick and he never got his healing, he was a beggar and never got his financial breakthrough. God never lifted him on the earth, he never wrote a book of principles of elevating from poverty to prosperity. The rich man never favored him, he died in his state of agony and torment; seeming never to have victory in this life!  

This story reveals that Nothing on this planet can transition to eternity!  

22 “The time came when the beggar died and the angels carried him to Abraham’s side. The rich man also died and was buried. 23 In Hades, where he was in torment, he looked up and saw Abraham far away, with Lazarus by his side. The Rich man died shortly after Lazarus and both were aware of earth’s activities  

Lazarus couldn’t have gotten to Abraham’s side with the escort of Angels (angels are only assigned to those who die in God).  The rich man did not have an Angelic escort, he transitioned from his comfortable life of wealth and riches to Torment in one moment!  

Jesus shared this event to show the extreme end to two individuals; one who had everything and the other who had nothing!  

Only our souls can transition to eternity, not our bodies or any earthly possessions including earthly covenant.  (Matthew 22: 30 NIV   30 At the resurrection people will neither marry nor be given in marriage; they will be like the angels in heaven) 

No matter how beautiful your body is, it cannot transition to the afterlife. None of your awards wealth or riches can make the transition; your earthly position in this life has no value in eternity! 

Our world is restrained by time. Everything, whether it be good or bad, that happens to you on the earth cannot transition with you in eternity! 

None of the joy and pleasure you experience on this planet can transition to eternity; your sinful habits can find no place in eternity (The Rich man just wanted a sip of water and wanted Abraham to send Lazarus back to earth from the dead to warn his family Not to come where he was)  

Matthew 16: 16 NIV 

Conclusion

2Corithians 5: 6 – 10 NIV 

Matthew 6:  19 – 21 NIV

1Corithians 3: 13 – 15 NIV  

Eternity is an interesting Reality;  only what we do on the planet for God and His Kingdom can transition and before it can make it to eternity it must be tried with the fire of God!   

What are you trading for your soul?
