The Realities Of Heaven

by Pastor Afolabi Oladele

Hello, good morning again, dearly beloved. Do you believe that it’s Friday already? One week is already passing by.

I want to draw your attention to something in the word of God that tickles me. Paul writes to us in Colossians 3:1-2, Since you have been raised to new life with Christ, set your sights on the realities of heaven, where Christ sits in the place of honor at God’s right hand. Think about the things of heaven, not the things of earth (Colossians 3:1‭-‬2 NLT).

2 points to note here:

  • Set your sights on the realities of Heaven.
  • Think of Heaven, think of the things of Heaven, not of the earth.

Could it be that this time that God has given to all us is a time for us to begin to reflect on the things of Heaven? It’s a time to start asking the Lord to show us, when the distraction of daily earthly activists are now suspended, what things Heaven looks like?

Can I compel myself, can you compel yourself to disassociate yourself from the daily routine such as spoken to by the Psalmist in Psalms 104:23 and find time to enter into the realm of learning, understanding and focusing on the realities of Heaven?

There has to be a longing for that better country for which God is preparing us. Hebrews 11:16 speaks to that: they longed for a better country. If there is no longing, if there’s is no desire then there can be no push to seek the realities of Heaven.

I charge you to think on these things while we all are in this quarantine moment, that you let it be a moment of waiting in His presence, hearing, listening to Him, and discovering what it is that is reserved for us.

In Ephesians 1:18-20, Paul clearly says, that all our heart may be flooded with light, that we may get a glimpse of the glorious future which He has reserved for us.There is something greater than what this earth can offer, that Heaven speaks to, but it belongs only to those who long for it.

This is the time to seek the Lord for the revelation of what the realities of Heaven are.

God bless you and have a lovely day.
