Whether we like it or not,one day,some day, this world will come to an end. As the good book tells us,the Saved ones will live with the father for ever.
Today,I found myself reflecting on what heaven will be like. In this world,we have formed the following relationships:
1.Child/parents
2.Sibling/siblings
3.Child/uncles/aunties
4.Student/teacher
5.Employee/employer
6.Friends we have made over the years
7.Wonderful neighbors
8.Pastor/church members
9.Helpful colleagues
10.School mates that we have known for years
I don’t know about you, but these relationships means so much to me! I not only love all the above, but want to spend eternity with them!
Now think about this! What will heaven be like without any, or all of the above! Very miserable place indeed!
What makes me happ,y is the fact that the door of probation is still open and that the good Lord is willing not only to forgive but also to have our names recorded in the book of life! So where do we go from here?
1.Let us pray for ourselves so as not to be a stumbling block to anyone.
2.Let us repent of all known sins and pray for the power that comes from above to enable us live victorious lives.
3.Let us pray for those we love
4.Let us remind others of the need to be there! Shall we?
Just a thought

Dear Pastor Birai,
Your message on “Heaven without you” is interesting.
In heaven we will not be able to recognise those we were involved with on earth. We will not be in human form and we may not be at same location in heaven. The short will gain average height, the bald will have hair, the lame will walk upright, babies and children will be grown up, blind will see. There will be complete change of human form far from what we knew on earth.
So rest assured you will not recognise anybody you are in earthly relationship with when we get to heaven. There will be no carry over from earth.
It will be a new and wonderful phenomenon.
Just a thought.
Okeyo.
Brother Okeyo,
I like your thought. Such kind of contribution makes one to search for more information on the subject.
What do you make of the following passages?
1. Mathew 25:31-46 tells us that God will separate the sheep from the goats. Who will those be?
2.Revelation 21:4 tells us that God will wipe away all tears from their eyes? Whose tears and why?
3. Mathew 7:21-23 tells us that there will some who will come wanting to enter heaven on the basis of all they had done while on earth. Who will those be?
One inspired author states the following:
1. For a thousand years while still in heaven, one of the issues the saints will be investigating is why so and so did not make it.
2.The little children whose parents will not make it will be received by the angels.
Let us search more and as we find something new, let us share!
Blessings.
