Making heaven is the ultimate goal of all christians. Making heaven is our reward for living a godly life even in this generation. Even though some are ignorant to assume that death is the final and the end of a man, but the bible made us to understand that death is just a pathway to eternity, eternity in hell or heaven. Even unbelievers desire heaven too because it's a place of comfort which is designed by God himself, the paradise.
How heaven is cannot be described by any mortal. The glories that abound in it is beyond the human comprehension, we can only imagine how heaven is and of course we can have a glimpse of what heaven looks like from the bible. The bible made us to understand that there will be no darkness in heaven because God himself is our light. God himself will give light there, hence there will be no need for sun, lamp or any form of light. We are going to live forever because we have been transformed to his image, in his likeness. We will become immortals and live together with God.
There will not be any reason to be afflicted again, there will no longer be tears, sorrows, pain, griefs or death or any evil whatsoever. The enjoyment in heaven surpassed in indescribable ways to what we called enjoyment here on earth. The Earth is full of sorrows and suffering, happiness is not guaranteed, it's not even permanent. It's only in heaven that happiness is permanent. That's why heaven is a must for us. Hell is a no no for me and you.
How to enjoy the grace of reigning with Christ forever
1. Be committed to the service of God
Of course you would not want to serve devil if you are going to heaven. Be a committed servant of God. You must be busy with the things of God, you can't be in the business with God and lose. God will always recompense you in every good way you can ever imagine. Many of us are not always found in service to God, we are often after our own heart desires. We don't have time to serve God. Many do select their job at the expense of the work of God. Some people value their own work to the work of God.
2. Be faithful to your confession about Jesus.
When you confess Jesus as your Lord and savior, do you know what it means and do you know you have to be faithful to your confession. After confessing Christ, the Christian journey is not always smooth, infact it's always rough but we must hold our stand in Christ and be faithful to him. Remember God said it is the people who have surrendered their lives totally to Jesus and have been faithful to him and obey his commandments that will be rewarded with heaven(John 11:25).
3. Never love the things of this world
If you love the things of the world then you have shifted your love from God. You must set up your love on eternal things because the things of the world is ephemeral, don't be obsessive of this worldly things. Many love money more than God, they value their flashy cars to the things of the spirit. Don't be lured by the devil's tactics. He is always watching us to make us fall in our weakest moment but the grace of God is more sufficient for us.
4. Tell others about the kingdom of God.
You can't call yourself a Christian and you are not preaching the gospel of Christ. That's God's business for you here on earth, to make his name known in every nooks and crannies of the earth. Don't be ashamed to speak the gospel so that God will not be ashamed of you too in the last day. You can preach Christ in your place of work, in your class and in your neighborhood. Bring many people to the knowledge of Christ, groom them to know who Christ is and lead them to the way of the Lord. You can even preach online. All these are worthy in the sight of the Lord and he will duly reward you
Remember Heaven is real where we will be happy always, where we will be praising God every moment without being tired. We will reign with him forever, you won't want to miss it, isn't it?.
That we all make heaven, should be our goal for living. And for everything that we do.
