READ: REVELATION 21:2-5
At the judgement seat of
Christ, after the fire and others have done their work, those whose works
endured the fire, who constitute the brides to be decorated will boldly walk
forward, beaming with joy and be publicly decorated. Have you watched when
somebody was selected out of the world for a particular award and was publicly
decorated? How do you feel?If it was somebody from your town or village, you
will feel elated. How then will you feel if you were the one receiving the
award as the whole world cheers? But this heavenly decoration is a million
times greater than any earthly award. I will not miss my day of decoration in
heaven. What about you?
In that day, everybody will weep. While those who will not be decorated will weep when they see what they lost, recipients will weep irrespective of the stars in their crowns when they discover that they could have obtained 1000 fold reward than they got. They will realize they have not done enough. Some years ago, while in the midst of spending quality time in God’s presence at the camp, I had an encounter; I was singing and dancing in the moonlight enjoying my fellowship with the Almighty God. Sometime around 4:00 am, the Lord began to ask me some questions.
Initially, I was thanking Him because I felt I was doing mighty exploits for Him. By the time He finished asking about 20 questions, I realized that by His standards, I had done nothing; I got next to zero level. Over there God will not only show us what we have done but also what we ought to have done. When yousee the reward for the little you have done, then you would imagine and calculate what could have been yours if you had met all His expectations. You will weep at such realization but God will wipe all tears from our eyes. You are privileged to know these things now so that you can adjust fast and conform to His perfect plan for your life. Ask Him what He wants you to do and go all out to do it. You can increase your weeping for joy and reduce your weeping for sorrow. Either wayyou will weep. You can determine the type of weeping you want over there from today. Take a decision that will enhance your good fortunes and stick with it.

MEMORIZE:
REVELATION 21:4 –And God shall wipe all tears from their eyes; and there shall
be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more
pain: for the former things are passed away.
