Going to Heaven VIP!!!

Have you ever went to a club or concert and waited in line forever with the general public? While waiting in that line you watched another, shorter line of people walk right into the event. The VIP line! Believe it or not, there is a VIP line into heaven. It’s expensive and hard to get in to, but it’s worth the work!

“Enter ye in at the straight gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because straight is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it” (Matthew 7:13,14).

It’s estimated that approximately 2.2 billion people out of the 6.9 billion people on this earth consider themselves Christian. Christianity is the world’s largest religion. If all 2.2 billion Christians were taking our VIP line to heaven that’s a lot of people. But the bible says that few will find it, right? Guess what,  just because you say that you are a Christian, does not guarantee your spot in heaven. Saying a prayer does not automatically mean that you are saved. Sorry to tell you that it is not that easy, because if it were, more people would be in that VIP line.

Obviously, to get into a club VIP, you must pay more. You cannot expect to get VIP treatment after only paying general admission. A quote that I love, “You cannot truly worship the Lord if you are still in love with this world”. Many “general admission” Christians, may say that they’re Christian because they believe in God, go to church every now and then, and celebrate Christmas. But they live in this world by cussing, not tithing, going to the bar every weekend, etc. Your daily actions must be pleasing to God.

Still don’t get it?  Lets say it differently shall we?

If God was your shadow for a day and you didn’t know it, would your daily actions please him? Would your words glorify him? If your answer is I don’t know, or no then it may be time for you to start paying your dues for that VIP line.

“His Lord said unto him, well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things. I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy Lord” (Matthew 25:21).

Let’s figure out how to get into this line. My pastor was just speaking this evening, when you live your life according to God’s will, and fulfill his purpose for you; when you get to heaven you will have your own entry gates. All of your relatives and anyone that was special to you will be at that entrance applauding you for your work, then the crowd will part and Jesus will be there. He will say, “Well done, my good and faithful servant”. Now that’s the VIP entrance that I want to make! I’m not going in with the general admission, that said the prayers, lived an “ok” life but did not reach their full potential.

When we give our lives over to Christ, we at first become a baby Christian (the term being reborn). But from there it is your job to dive into the word, educate yourself, and build a relationship with God. Speak to the Father not just during your quiet time, but in your everyday life. Small inquiries, “should I go here?’, “should I apply for this job?” As your relationship grows you will learn His voice. Then you can get to the question, what is my purpose? BUT! But, you will not know if you do not ask. Many people will go down a path that they think is the right one. It may be a career that helps people and is rewarding, but if it wasn’t God’s will for you, then your full potential will not be reached and you will keep looking for more, because your spirit will not be satisfied.

Long story short, choose the will of the Father in your life, and all will be well. He wants to be close to you, but you have to communicate with him. You may have to be patient. In my own experience, after weeks of praying about my purpose, I literally got the urge to write in the middle of a sermon at church, but I didn’t know what to write. So I kept praying, and reading the Word and about two months later God told me to start a blog about health and the word, and now we are all here!

“Many are the plans in a person’s heart, but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails” (Proverbs 19:21).

“Stop listening to my instruction, my son, and you will stray from the words of knowledge” (Proverbs 19:27).

God has a specific purpose for all of us. It may bring one person to Christ or one million people. It is not your job to count, it’s just your job to trust the Father and follow his direction. That direction will lead to your VIP line!

Dear Heavenly Father we thank you for your word given to us to provide the knowledge that we need to become closer with you. We thank you for your urge to be close to us and to have a meaningful relationship. We pray for the knowledge needed to find and fulfill our purpose in life that you have chosen for us so that our blessings will become blessings to others. Amen!
