LIGHT FOR LIFE DEVOTIONAL

Scripture:

Revelation 19:5-9

[5]And out of the throne came a voice that said, “Praise our God, all you his servants, small and great, who fear him.”

[6]Then I heard again what sounded like the shouting of a huge crowd, or like the waves of a hundred oceans crashing on the shore, or like the mighty rolling of great thunder, “Praise the Lord. For the Lord our God, the Almighty, reigns.

[7]Let us be glad and rejoice and honor him; for the time has come for the wedding banquet of the Lamb, and his bride has prepared herself.

[8]She is permitted to wear the cleanest and whitest and finest of linens.” (Fine linen represents the good deeds done by the people of God.)

[9]And the angel dictated this sentence to me: “Blessed are those who are invited to the wedding feast of the Lamb.” And he added, “God himself has stated this.”*

THE BEMA

A party in heaven? A serious gig, feasting all the way; who is reading this with me...and I am on the guest list, I also heard you were invited too!

A glorious morning lighthouse family, celebration will never cease from your life in Jesus name.

So I used to think at a time that the rewards of salvation was just peace on earth and eternity in heaven. However I began to discover there is more grace has made available.

When we get to heaven what will we be doing? The Bible talks about worshipping and praising our God. Most times what crosses our minds is classical music playing and everyone bowing down.. hmm e go shock you! Our entry into heaven is going to begin with a surprise party, an award ceremony like no other.

You see the thought was that since it was called the BEMA, the judgement seat of Christ; the picture was Jesus sitting on an elevated plane and judging all in a very serious atmosphere. No, rather it's actually a feast, in morden language a party, with performances, lots to eat and drink, dancing, playing, exciting comedy, meeting great people and talking about great things; and in the midst of all this rewards of crowns, mansions and perfections in knowledge will be distributed.

These rewards will be for your stay on earth. That is the account of what you used the resources he gave for. This why pursuing purpose is the next most important thing after salvation. He will reward the level to which your life was inclined to his agenda.He will reward your kingdom labour of soul winning, he will reward your carrying out his assignments for your life as inspired by the Holy Spirit. This is why you must be led by the Holy Spirit daily because he knows God's agenda for your life. *Listen God will not reward your great work, he will reward your obedient work* . So your judgement as a believer will not be about condemnation but rewards in the midst of a grand and loud feast.

Hey, God has a welcome party prepared for you. The music will be heavenly for sure but it will be so on point. I'm sure there'll be all kinds of dance groups and artistes; it's going to be a heavenly groove that it will last for years and usher in a life of unlimited celebration and enjoyment.

My bother is not about the exact time whether after the rapture or second coming but that God has a well planned out groove prepared for you and you anit missing it for nothing because grace has your name written in *BOLD GOLD LETTERS* on the guest list.
