Memorise: For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a bui
lding of God, and house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. 2nd Corinthians 5:1
Read: Hebrews 11:32-40 (KJV)
32 And what shall I more say? for the time would fail me to tell of Gedeon, and of Barak, and of Samson, and of Jephthae; of David also, and Samuel, and of the prophets:
33 Who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions.
34 Quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, waxed valiant in fight, turned to flight the armies of the aliens.
35 Women received their dead raised to life again: and others were tortured, not accepting deliverance; that they might obtain a better resurrection:
36 And others had trial of cruel mockings and scourgings, yea, moreover of bonds and imprisonment:
37 They were stoned, they were sawn asunder, were tempted, were slain with the sword: they wandered about in sheepskins and goatskins; being destitute, afflicted, tormented;
38 (Of whom the world was not worthy:) they wandered in deserts, and in mountains, and in dens and caves of the earth.
39 And these all, having obtained a good report through faith, received not the promise:
40 God having provided some better thing for us, that they without us should not be made perfect.

Message:-
Not long after I wound up conceived once more, God demonstrated to me that Christianity is an unceasing Journey with Him which shows signs of improvement constantly for the individuals who live in compliance to His charges.
When I got this, I decided on two things: to carry on with the rest to my life in complete acquiescence to God, and to live with the outlook that the best is yet to come, independent of my present status, accomplishments or achievements. The choice yielded a propensity for acknowledging God for each achievement and accomplishment throughout everyday life and service, without the scarcest sentiment of achievement or the thought that we have "arrived".
The individuals who have seen the various dimensions of development, advancement and marvels that God has caused conceivable in the Redeemed Christian Church of God to have dependably thought about how we can make these incredible jumps without laying on our paddles. The appropriate response lies in Philippians 3:13-14, which says:
"Brethren, I tally not myself to have caught: however this one thing I do, overlooking those things which are behind, and achieving forward unto those things which are previously, I press toward the imprint for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus."
Paul had the option to pen these words since he had a disclosure of a regularly expanding wonder in his soul. He along these lines lived ordinarily of His existence with the frame of mind that regardless of the present greatness, with God on his side, the best was yet to come. No big surprise he carried on with a real existence that went from brilliance to more prominent wonder, to such an extent that God performed extraordinary marvels through him (Acts 19:11-12). Regardless of everything, he never enabled himself to harp on his accomplishments just as he had arrived or achieved enormity.
We ought to thusly gain from Paul's model that doing incredible things on a steady premise is integral to the reason and motivation God has for us. 1st Corinthians 2:9 says:
"In any case, as it is composed, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have gone into the core of man, the things which God hath arranged for them that affection him."
Basically, the best rationalists, speculators and researchers can't fathom what God has coming up for His youngsters. God is so incredible, and His ways are far higher than our ways. Along these lines, we can persistently anticipate extraordinary and relentless things from Him. The occasions in second Kings 13:18-19 train that when anybody is on a task for God, the individual should steadily and forcefully do such obligations as indicated by God's high calling, and not as indicated by close to home inclinations. Feel free to prediction to yourself today that your best is yet to come!
Prayer Point:Father, please help me to always look forward to a greater future in You, in Jesus’ Name.
