Rhapsody Of Realities For Today’s Devotional MESSAGE:
Pst. Chris Says
Did you know that the major reason we’re in this world is to prepare for another world? This
world was never God’s final dream. This is the place of preparation.
Everything we do here, in this earth, is all in preparation for the eternal city. We will be moved into this eternal city, which will come from God and be established in the new earth. God’s intention was never for us to relocate to heaven and live there forever.
God’s plan is to have another city and another earth. The Bible tells us that this current earth will be burnt up—completely destroyed and replaced with a new one—with new heavens over it to regulate its conditions.
There’ll be a city in that new earth where you and I will be with the Lord and his holy angels forever—a massive city. The height of the city is as the length of it; think about that. The height is like taking a six-hour flight; that’s the distance, both in length as well as in height. What a city! Everybody isn’t going to be there; it’s for only the saints of God. There’ll be natural men and women who’ll populate the earth outside the city. There’ll be nations of men.
The Bible says they will come regularly through the gates of the city to worship the King. But we, the saints, will always be with Him in the city, the New Jerusalem. Hallelujah! That’ll be the headquarters, and we’ll be functioning with Him at the headquarters.
So, your life here on earth is in preparation for that city, that eternal city. Keep working for the Lord. Keep doing what He’s asked you to do, and don’t be found wanting. Do everything He’s called you to do, and finish it. The most important thing to Him is the human soul.
That’s why Jesus came. So, keep winning souls and impacting the lives of those in your world with the Gospel. Prepare them to also live eternally with the Lord in our great and eternal city when the time comes.

Heavenly Father,
I come to You in humility and repentance, acknowledging my sins and my need for Your grace. Lord Jesus, I believe You are the Son of God, who died for my sins and rose again to give me eternal life. I confess You as my Savior and Lord.
Forgive me, cleanse me with Your precious blood, and fill me with Your Holy Spirit. I turn away from my sinful ways and open my heart to You. Take control of my life and guide me in Your truth.
