E T E R N A L REWARDS versus worldly awards.

-

This time of the year in this world there is a preoccupation with awards shows: red carpet fashion hits and misses or best and worse dress; winners and losers; highs and lows; iconic, trending and viral moments and the list goes on, and on.

Given the fact that there is so much suffering, starvation and sorrow by countless people in this world where over one billion people live on the edge of poverty, words cannot begin to describe such childishness or silliness or foolishness.

“For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God” (1 Corinthians 3:19).

“The thought of foolishness is sin:” (Proverbs 24:9).

Words spoken by King David, “…the sweet psalmist in Israel” (2 Samuel 23:1):

“Behold, these are the ungodly, who prosper in the world; they increase in riches” (Psalm 73:11).

“When I thought to know this, it was too painful for me; Until I went into the sanctuary of God; then understood I their end” (Psalm 73:16-17).

“For I was envious at the foolish, when I saw the prosperity of the wicked” (Psalm 73:3).

“For, lo, they that are far from thee shall perish: thou hast destroyed all them that go a whoring from thee. But it is good for me to draw near to God: I have put my trust in the Lord GOD, that I may declare all thy works” (Psalm 73:27-28).

“For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish” (Psalm 1:6).

“Wait on the LORD, and keep his way, and he shall exalt thee to inherit the land: when the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see it. Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD” (Psalms 37:34, 27:14).

“The LORD is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him. It is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the LORD” (Lamentations 3:25-26).

Now, therefore, as the only way to get the things that are eternal is through Jesus Christ who died for us; for this purpose then we should live unto him and not unto ourselves (2 Corinthians 5:15).

“Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ” (Ephesians 5:20).

This heaven and earth will pass away!

Jesus is not coming to reign on this earth because at the end of the Day of Judgment, this earth will become uninhabitable (Isaiah 24:19) (Revelation 16:17–18). This heaven and earth is not a space of everlasting habitations.   This heaven and earth will pass away (Jeremiah 4:23) (Revelation 21:1). God “hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation” (Acts 17:26). Jesus is very clear when he says: “Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away” (Matthew 24:35). “The heathen raged, the kingdoms were moved: he uttered his voice, the earth melted. The earth and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved: I bear up the pillars of it. Selah. But God is the judge: [HE PUTTETH DOWN ONE, AND SETTETH UP ANOTHER]” (Psalms 46:6, 75:3, 7). Peter confirmed this when he said: “Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and ...

The rise of the Antichrist is coming! The day is soon coming when a king will rise to power ruling from Jerusalem, and he will deceive the whole world! DO NOT BE DECEIVED! JESUS, the true Messiah, the Savior of the world already came to this EARTH (John 3:16-18)! “The disciple John said” And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world” (1 John 4:14). There is only ONE KING of the JEWS: JESUS, the only begotten Son of God (Matthew 2:2). During the trial before his crucifixion, Pilate wanted to know more about Jesus. “And Jesus stood before the governor: and the governor asked him, saying, ‘Art thou the King of the Jews?’ And Jesus said unto him, ‘Thou sayest’” (Matthew 27:11). Again, Pilate specifically asked him, “Art thou the King of the Jews?” (John 18:33). “Jesus answered, ‘[MY KINGDOM IS NOT OF THIS WORLD]: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jew...

“[THE WAY OF LIFE IS ABOVE TO THE WISE], that he may depart from hell beneath” (Proverbs 15:24).  “[FOR YE ARE DEAD, AND YOUR LIFE IS HID WITH CHRIST IN GOD]” (Colossians 3:2–3). “[FOR AS THE FATHER HATH LIFE IN HIMSELF; SO HATH HE GIVEN TO THE SON TO HAVE LIFE IN HIMSELF]; And hath [GIVEN HIM AUTHORITY TO EXECUTE JUDGMENT] also, because he is the Son of man” (John 5:26-27). “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that [WHOSOEVER BELIEVETH IN HIM SHOULD NOT PERISH, BUT HAVE EVERLASTING LIFE]. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. [HE THAT BELIEVETH ON HIM IS NOT CONDEMNED]: but [HE THAT BELIEVETH NOT IS CONDEMNED ALREADY], because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God” (John 3:16-18). “[JESUS CHRIST THE SAME YESTERDAY, AND TODAY, AND FOREVER]” (Hebrews 13:8) says: “Search the Scriptures; for in them ye think ye have [ETERNAL LIFE]: and they are they whi...
