Possessions that cannot fade

 

Text: 1 Peter 1:3-4 (KJV)                                                   

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you

Friends, as a child of God, there are things that are so significant to us which will not fade away because they are from above. Hence, there are things with eternal gains in this kingdom. Therefore, we must learn to focus on things with eternal weight of glory. Yes, earthly things come and go, if not destroyed, it can loss it’s value like money, houses, certificates, titles and many possessions etc. Remember, as we live with eternity in mind, there are certain things that are secured and guaranteed to us as believers. Eph 1:11 In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will. So, what we have are truly beyond the reach of change, rather they are after His counsel.

Amazingly, things that we receive from Christ are secured by the resurrection power of Christ. They are also fueled from heaven and not earthly bound that makes it unfading, imperishable, and undefiled. Col1:12 Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light. So, our faith in Jesus brings us into this family of a living hope which cannot die but remain forever. And I pray those trials, discouragement, frustration shall pass over because the light of Christ will shine and swallow those storms today in Jesus name.

PRAYER POINT:

1.      Father, help me to always remember when life feels uncertain that there is an inheritance and a hope that will not fade away but shall last to eternity in Jesus name.

ACTION QUOTE:  Remember, your inheritance in Him is incorruptible.
