POSSESSING THE NATIONS Pt.3

June 11, 2019 · Lanre Oyeleke · 2 views

Rev7:9 After this I looked, and there before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before the throne and before the Lamb. They were wearing white robes and were holding palm branches in their hands. And they cried out in a loud voice: “Salvation belongs to our God, who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb.”

A PICTURE OF HEAVEN

If i ask you to describe heaven, what would you say? Most time, what comes to our minds is the beauty of heaven. There's a song we sing which says: "How beautiful heaven must be. A home for the happy and blessed, a haven of rest for the weary, How beautiful heaven must be". More than beauty, the representation of people in heaven calls for a special attention. What do i mean?

According to the opening text, there shall be people from every nation, tribe, culture and language in heaven. Hallelujah! What would they be doing? They'll be giving God WORSHIP. That is the mission of God for the entire human race. I know you may not have seen it this way before. It doesn't mean that everyone in every tribe would be saved, no. What we're saying is that heaven shall have a sizeable portion of people from every tribe worshipping God.

As i speak, there are over 7,000 tribes yet to hear the gospel and they need to be represented in heaven for the scriptures to be fulfilled. How can they worship when they're not saved? How can they be saved when they have not heard? How can they hear without a preacher? If we want to possess the nations, we must be ready to send a preacher. Someone must be willing to go. If we delay in sending a preacher with our resources, prayers and moral support, the harvest among the nations shall decay. Over 70,000 people die daily and cross into eternity without hearing about Jesus. Do something.

Action point

Father, use me for the expansion of your kingdom among the nations In Jesus name.
