MY FRIENDS, WE MUST STAY FOCUSED AND KEEP HEAVEN ON OUR MIND!
“And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand forever.” Daniel 2:44 (KJV)
My friends, if we believe and endure we will be a part of that kingdom, but we must have a passion to see that vision and what it will take to get there. “Jesus spoke these words, lifted up His eyes to heaven, and said: “Father, the hour has come.
Glorify Your Son, that Your Son also may glorify You, as You have given Him authority over all flesh, that He should give eternal life to as many as You have given Him. And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent.” John 17:1-3 (NKJV)
My friends, promise after promise in God’s word is getting us prepared for a place that is beyond any and all imaginations of a created being. This earth is as far as our finite minds can comprehend when you talk about that special place, heaven.
And to all of God’s children whose focus is on that place “eye have not seen, nor ear heard, nor have entered into the heart of man or woman, the things that our Savior has prepared for everyone who loves as our 
Savior loves, must also be willing to let the world know that it does exist.
In addition, as heirs to God’s kingdom we must stay focused and keep heaven on our minds. We cannot allow the god of this world to draw our focus on the things of this world that will one day fade away.
Consistent with this, there must be a commitment that involves “laying aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, [as we] run with patience the race that is set before us” Heb 12:1 (KJV)
For each of us who are looking for Christ soon return, there is no doubt, we are in the final stretch to the finish line, as we travel in the unchartered territories of our mind which are the unexplored areas of our life that we have so hard of a time turning over to God.
Our desire, our goals, our passion, our focus, our faith, our endurance, our prayers, and the never ending study of God’s word, must be centered around given it all to the Master. To finish this race will be very grueling in this final stretch to the promise land.
But our example is Jesus Christ as we allow Him to guide us every step of the way on this journey He has placed us on as we stay focused and keep heaven on our mind. When the Israelites left Egypt Exodus 19:4 (KJV) tells us He said to the Israelites “You yourselves have seen what I did to Egypt, and how I carried you on eagles’ wings and brought you to myself.”
But then God asks them to do something breathtaking and awe-inspiring God asks them for a commitment. He asks them to stand up and pledge their loyalty to Him He says: in “Exodus 19:5-6 (KJV) Now if you obey me fully and keep my covenant, then out of all nations you will be my treasured possession.
Although the whole earth is mine, you will be for me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation…..” So my friends today God is asking us to do something breathtaking and awe-inspiring also, and that is to stay focused, and keep heaven on your mind!!!
So friends stay focused, remain faithful, love one another and endure till the end and never forget to STUDY&PRAY
