HEAVEN

Revelation 7:13-17
And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they?
And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple: and he that sitteth on the throne shall dwell among them.
They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat.
For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.

There are two possible destinations when we die or after rapture : heaven or hell.

Our Lord Jesus Christ made it clear to all Believers in Him in the book of John 14:1-3
Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.
In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.

We can know for sure that we’ll go to heaven when we die or after rapture if we believe in the work of grace offered by our Lord Jesus Christ on the cross of Calvary for forgiveness of our sins and accept Him as our Lord and Saviour , John 3:36(NIV) Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever rejects the Son will not see life, for God’s wrath remains on them.

Many people search for God where they can't find Him; thinking there are many ways to Heaven. They say, One God, many paths. This is a false and dangerous belief, because there are so many roads that go nowhere near heaven except one way - There’s only one way that leads to heaven – through Jesus Christ (John 14:6). Jesus declared: “I am THE way.” Jesus does not merely show the way; He is the only way to God. All other ways lead straight to hell.

Revelation 21 and 22 provide a vivid description of heaven, portraying it as a new Jerusalem descending from heaven, prepared like a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. It is a place where God will dwell with His people, place of unimaginable beauty and majesty, a place where God's presence, described as a radiant light that outshines the sun, illuminates the entire heaven.
It is a place where God will wipe away every tear, and there will be no more death, mourning, crying, hunger or pain.

Dear Reader, for you to be sure of a place in Heaven, you have to personally received Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior.
All you need to do is to take a decision for Jesus Christ through the following steps and be genuine and committed to the decision going forward:

1: AGREE with God that you are a lost sinner unable to save yourself. “God shows His love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us” (Romans 5:8).
2: BELIEVE the gospel “good news” that Jesus Christ died for your sins on the cross. Surrender to Him and personally receive Jesus as your Lord and Saviour. “To all who did receive Him, who believed in His name, He gave the right to become children of God” (John 1:12).
3: CONFESS Jesus Christ as Lord. “If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved” (Romans 10:9).
4: HOLINESS is a major prerequisite to Heaven. Be committed to live a holy life because without holiness no man see the Lord Hebrews 12:14

If you know you are still living in sins and you are not yet genuinely born again; please embrace the gospel of Jesus Christ and invite Jesus Christ into your life today by praying this prayer in faith:

“Lord Jesus, I am thankful and grateful that You died for me on the cross and rose from the dead. I come to You as a sinner in need of Your forgiveness and salvation. I know there is nothing that I can ever do to save myself or to work my way into heaven. I now take You at Your Word in John 3:16 and Romans 10:13 and put my complete trust in the gospel and what You did for me at the cross.

Right now, I make the decision to turn from my sins and receive You into my life as my Lord and Savior. Today, and for the rest of my life, I ask that You help me to live in a way that pleases You. Guide my life according to Your Word and teach me to walk in Your ways till I make it to Heaven. Thank You Lord Jesus Christ for saving my Soul.

If you prayed that prayer, contact us at RCCG Kingdom Palace, 1 Borogade Crescent, Off Okegbenro Street, Adesola Via Puposola, New Oko-Oba, Lagos; we would love to hear about your decision for Jesus Christ. Also, take the following steps:
