Title: Another opportunity to Rejoice.
And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever. Daniel 12:3 KJV
Devotion: In the past two days we have discussed Joy in different ways, we have opportunity to discuss it again this morning. We talk of eternal joy unlike the joy of sportsmen that lasts five minutes.
In the vision of Daniel we know that the wise "shall shine as the brightness of the firmament", who is the wise? Again the answer is not farfetched, the wise is he who does the will of God. The one who has given his life to Christ and lives in total obedience.
To illustrate how joyful one can be let me use this example. On the school price giving day, if you or your child had worked very hard, you will shine like stars when called to receive price, even a scholarship. That day your joy will be boundless, your laughter may even be loud and you may buy gifts for the child. Such will it be, when you finish this earthly race in total obedience and you see Jesus with outstretched arms to welcome you.
Dear reader, I want you to remember that Jesus will not welcome 99.9% only 100%. Let us ask ourselves this morning if the call is made now are we 100% ready. There's still time to fill the remaining percentage and shine like the firmament, like a bright star when you have won thousands of souls for Christ. Yes winning souls is a criteria don't just say I've been saved help to save others. May God help us in Jesus name. Hallelujah.
Dearly beloved, what is your thought on this? Share it with us.
