OUR ETERNAL BENEFACTOR

One earth we have obtained many valuable possessions which we cherish, love, and have significant meanings to us. None of these things are going with us when we are raptured; we will leave them all behind, for these earthly treasures are dispensable and corruptible.

During our earthly journey, God has been trying to teach us to depend on Him and to walk by faith. Many of us have used this faith to obtain things. None of these things are going with us. Naked we came into this world (without anything), and when we are raptured, we will leave with nothing.

Now, just take a moment to imagine what our heavenly existence will be like. Have you ever had bills to pay and you worried over how you were going to meet the payment? Have you ever gone into a store to purchase an item only to realize you did not have enough money to make the purchase? Well, that part of our lives will be over.

There will be billions of believers in heaven, and God, the wealthiest spirit in the universe is going to take care of all of us; we will want for nothing. We will be living in mansions and walking on streets of gold. We will be clothed and fed. Also, we are provided with incorruptible and immortal bodies; therefore, we will not be ill or tainted with sin.

Realizing all of the above, the scripture stated by Paul, “But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus” (Philippians 4:19) takes on an added meaning to me. To me, this scripture, not only pertains to my earthly existence but also my heavenly one, for my eternal benefactor’s care of me, is endless. PRAISE THE LORD!
