How to Enjoy Heaven
Have a Genuine Need for God at All Times
Matthew 5:3 Those believers who experience "now" a genuine need for God at all times (poor in spirit), because they learned to continually yield themselves to the Word of God, are promised a special future!
Revelation 2:12-17 Christians who finish their race for God will "stand out" in heaven, i.e., be special to God (and will give him a "white" stone) !
Amos 8:11,12 God warned his people not to wait to need Him to need Him. God is not a genie in some bottle that we can conjure up at our leisure. Those who wait to need God to need God will find themselves without God when they most need God (See - Prov 1:22-33 & Ezk 14:12-23). Those who continually yielded themselves to the Word of God will not only experience a genuine need for God at all times but be blessed as well!
Finish Your Race
Matthew 5:5 Those believers who experience "now" the willingness to suffer patiently (without resistance) in order to finish their race (meek), because they learned to continually yield themselves to the Word of God, are promised to rule and reign with CHRIST during His 1,000-year Millennial reign, i.e., inherit the earth!
Revelation 2:18-26 Christians who finish their race for God will inherit the earth, i.e., rule and reign with CHRIST someday (to him will I give power over the nations) !
Numbers 12:3 This word (meek) is a Hebrew word meaning "oppressed, afflicted, wretched". Biblical meekness describes someone who is willing to suffer patiently (without resistance) in order to finish their race. Moses was a man who submitted to divine authority (vs 7) when he did not want to (See - Exo 3:1-4:17) and was elevated to a great and lofty position that he never felt he deserved. Hence, he allowed his brother and sister to scorn his leadership!
