LOOK TOWARD HEAVEN!

(Turn Your Attention Away to the Lord)

📖TO THE BIBLE

Psalm 121:1-2

“I will lift up my eyes to the hills—From whence comes my help? My help comes from the Lord, Who made heaven and earth.

▶️LET’S TALK

“I’m so smart: Cynthia’s dad is a business mogul and I can keep asking him for anything I want,” Leslie prided herself as they all drove to school in his chauffeur-driven Rolls Royce. This feeling didn’t quite last, as the next time she tried asking a favour from him, she got reprimanded. Till this point, she never realised that she’d been solely focused and dependent on people who could fail her, rather than on God. How important it is for us to take our eyes and attention away from ourselves—who we are, what we’ve done, where we’ve been, what we’ve got—and look to the Lord!

It brings to mind the story of Abraham in Genesis 15. God told to him, “Do not be afraid…I am your shield, your exceedingly great reward” (verse 1). And in Genesis 15:5-6, we read, “Then He (God) brought him outside and said, “Look now toward heaven, and count the stars if you are able to number them.” And He said to him, “So shall your descendants be.” And he believed in the Lord, and He accounted it to him for righteousness.” Soon afterwards, Isaac was born. God helped Abraham to look in the right direction and set his focus rightly. In the end, Abraham looked away from his old age and circumstances, toward heaven, and got Isaac.

Refuse to be one who looks into your wallet or purse to determine what you’ve got in life. Don’t say, “I’m so broke; there’s no money here.” No! Look away to Jesus, the Author and Finisher of your faith; look to heaven where your help comes from. That’s one reason you pray and meditate on the Word. That’s how you can really focus your attention on the Lord to see and experience the miraculous! So, refuse to be anxious about who’s going to help you! Look toward heaven!

▶️ GO DEEPER:

Isaiah 26:3; Philippians 4:6-7; Hebrews 12:2

🗣 PRAY

Dear Father, I thank you for bringing me into a place of excellence, success, victory, and abundance. I’m inspired by your Word to think the right thoughts, speak the right words and receive the results of the Word in my life today, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Testimony Of How I Got Born Again. REV TOM AMENKHIENAN. Pastor Chris Led Me To Salvation.

JESUS LOVES ME! HE HAD MY LIFE ALL PLANNED OUT. I was born into a Roman Catholic family setting, with a strong influence of the Roman Catholic culture running through the entire family because my maternal Grandparents had been very committed and recognized leaders in the Roman Catholic Church. I was baptized and confirmed at an early age and soon enlisted as an Altar Boy (Mass Server). At this early age, the Priests and Reverend Fathers in charge of our local assembly (mostly foreigners, especially from Ireland), deliberately sought to groom, tailor and mentor me in the direction of becoming a Roman Catholic Priest, encouraging me to attend the Seminary once I came of age. I grew up with this background and was indoctrinated in it until I had my first encounter with another Christian Group in my Secondary School days when a group from the Scripture Union organized a fellowship in our school and preached the gospel to me. I attended a few of their fellowship meetings and tried to ...

Pastor Biodun Lawal tells a story.

JESUS CALLED ME! My name is Pastor Biodun Lawal. I am the zonal pastor of Christ Embassy Accra, Ghana and I want to thank our man of God, our pastor, our coach and our father for the opportunity to share my salvation testimony with you. I title it Jesus Called Me. I was born and raised up in a Muslim house, my parents were Muslims. I was trained as a kid to go to Quranic School and on how to lead prayers in the mosque as well. I grew up as a Muslim learning the things that a young Muslim should do. As at that time, my parents had a lot of Christian friends and at the age of five my parents allow me to follow their friends children to church(Sunday school) and that was my first encounter with Christianity. All the things that we were taught at the Sunday school didn’t make sense to me then because I only followed the children to go and play. Then suddenly, my parents stopped me from attending the Sunday school because they had wanted me to focus on their religion which is Islam. T...
