Let's go!

Text: Phil. 3: 20

“But our citizenship is in heaven, and from it we await a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ.”

Whom or what you are connected to is a very important factor in the determination of who you become in life, what you make of your life and what you make of your destiny. Another way of saying this is to say that no one can succeed in isolation, to succeed, you need people and people need you to succeed. A direct implication of this statement is that contrary to the belief of many no one can be truly independent if he she desire to succeed in life. Man is a dependent animal, God created us to be dependent on Him and to be dependent on others. The author of Ecclesiastes was saying the same thing when he said “Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their labour. For if they fall, one will lift up his companion. But woe to him who is alone when he falls, For he has no one to help him up. Again, if two lie down together, they will keep warm; But how can one be warm alone? Though one may be overpowered by another, two can withstand him. And a threefold cord is not quickly broken” (Eccl. 9: 4-12)

People have been deceived for too long into thinking that they can successfully live their lives alone independent of others, this is a fallacy and a dangerous one at that. You are who you are today partly because of whom or what you are connected to and whatever is your aspiration for the future, wherever you wish to get to in the future, you will need to be connected to the right persons and the right circumstances in other to get there. This is not only true for you, it is true for everyone.

So your connection determines your contention and your contention determines your allocation. When you are connected to human source like yourself, your connection is earthly and earthly connection is very limited in influence, in power, in authority and in what it can make happen for you. Secondly, earthly connection can only give you access to temporary things and temporary things no matter how good fade with time and after a while they fade out completely and lose relevance. Heavenly connection is better. Better because it gives you everything that earthly connection can give you and also gives you much more than that. In other words heavenly connection gives you temporal things but much than that, it gives you eternal things as well – things like peace, joy, comfort just to name a few and ultimately it gives you eternal life.

Unlike earthly connection, heavenly connection is not limited in reach, is not limited in influence and it is backed up by the ultimate power, that is, the power of God, so it can never fail to deliver. Heavenly connection is what you need if you want to be the best that God wants you to be. It is what you need to live a consistent life of overcomer over every trouble, problems or challenges of life. It is what you need if you wish to rise above limitations imposed either by earthly powers or principalities and powers, satanic agents and spiritual wickedness generally. Heavenly connection is necessary if you desire to run your race successfully and make heaven at last because if God does not take you to heaven, believe me you will not get there because no other personality or power or connection will take you there.

Our anchor text reveals to us that when we surrender our lives to Jesus and accept Him as our Lord and Savior, He forgives us our sins, cleanses us from all our acts of unrighteousness and then connects us to the Almighty God. In other words, via salvation, we are connected to the Almighty God who is enthroned in the heavens, we become heavenly connected and then all the benefits of heavenly connection discussed above becomes available to us.

In conclusion therefore, my question to you is this – “Are you born again”? “Have you surrendered your life to Jesus and accepted Him as your Lord and Savior”? “Do you have heavenly connection? Are you still limiting yourself to earthly connection”? Think about all that you are missing out on if you are not born again, think of how beautiful your life can become if only you have this heavenly connection that essentially cost you nothing because it is all paid for.

If you wish to be born again, you can be saved right now, you can be connected to heaven right now. All you have to do is go on your knees, and pray like this:

“Lord Jesus, I come to you today, I confess that I am a sinner. Please forgive me my sins, cleanse me with your blood. I accept you today as my Lord and Savior. I surrender my life totally unto you, please come into my life and begin to reign there. I promise from henceforth not to return to my life of sin, I promise to walk in your steps and to be obedient to you. Thank you for saving me in Jesus name I pray. Amen.

If you pray that prayer, then I welcome you to the family of God’s children, I congratulate you and also welcome you to a new life filled with new possibilities and opportunities powered by your divine connection to heaven. Enjoy your new life in Christ. Shalom.
