Do you desire to be remembered long after you have gone? Do
you want your name to be reckoned both in heaven and on earth? God’s plan is
for man to touch heaven and earth by what he had deposited in him. This post
gives the greatest way and how to leave your footprints on the seashores of
earth.
For the earnest expectation of the
creation eagerly waits for the revealing of the sons of God – Romans 8:19
(NKJV)
And I, brethren, when I came to you, did
not come with excellence of speech or of wisdom declaring to you the testimony
of God. For I determined not to know anything among you except Jesus Christ and
Him crucified -1 Corinthians 2:1-2 (NKJV).
Many people desire to impact their world
and a few are really doing so in different areas of life. But if you are to
reckon with heaven too, which will speak for you eternally, then you need to
engage the secret of Paul’s success.
Life continues beyond the life on earth.
Most of the human exploits end here: your inventions, excellence in business or
career, etc. But you need to do more for you to command the attention of the
hosts of heaven. Therefore the goal of every man should be that his works
should endure the fire test of God -1 Corinthians 3:13-14
Paul truly left his footprints on the
seashores of earth. He contributed greatly to the spread and understanding of
the gospel of Christ. He was a tent maker but that was not what gave him a
place before God. It was his determination (and pursuit of the same) not to
know anything among men except Jesus Christ and Him crucified. This was the secret
of his success on earth.
Whatever you do should always speak
Christ and Him crucified. It is to glorify God and credit your account in
heaven. Your actions are to witness the love and faithfulness of God. And for
you to achieve that and make a mark on earth you need the following:
Keys
to leaving your footprints on the seashores
1. Love of God
God’s love is to be
your driving force. God, for His love for humanity, gave His only son Jesus
that whosoever believes in Him will not perish but have everlasting life (John
3:16). And Christ for His love for humanity accepted to die the most shameful
death that He may reconcile man back to God (2 Corinthians 5:19, 21)
If you are to make the
impact that will speak for you in heaven and on earth, you will need to be
driven by the love of God. It is the kind of love that puts God and humanity
first before you. It is the love that will make you go the extra mile to see God’s
will fulfilled. Read more...
