keeping my eye open


"we dont have to wait till heaven to experience heaven!"
get that?? well I was listening to Ray Bentley on radio in the morning (power FM) and it hit me, that most of us just have to realize and believe in that statement up there, that we really dont have to wait till we die, or when Christ comes back to take us home, for us to experience a life that could seem like heaven to us, I dont think I have read enough theology to describe or define heaven as the pundits would do it, but at least I know I could have a simple and personal understanding of heaven, I feel heaven is when u feel you are at peace with ur life, knowing that ur doing good things for both the people around you, and ur maker, not only that, I feel heaven is when u live a life that is stress free, disease free, and when you can enjoy the rights and gifts of nature, given to u free of charge by the creator of heaven and earth, I dont think heaven is when u have to struggle and stress about every thing round about U, cuz I believe, u can only stress too much in life. I dont think heaven is wut the prosperity preachers have come to make us to believe, I was praying today and I heard this stil small voice kinda enlight me on this message, that the prosperity preachers have made us come to believe that heaven is when u own a multi-winged bangulow, or if u feel thats not big enough, u acquire a mansion, drive a heavy duty gas guzzler say like a hammer, (or any other SUV), can waste money on each and every oportunity u get, in the name of exposing of ur "blessing(s)" they also want us to believe that when u wear a jacket worthy 10's of thousands of dollars, or when can eat a plate of food that costs over $1000, then people will see and know that ur blessed, and so in so doing, they encourage us to stress so much upon recieving such a "status" in a way, I kind of think, wut happens when u cant get these things?? U'll definately look a looser to U and every one that has been watching U.
Not only that, in a bid to acquire this "status" ur going to end up working so hard to attain the material things, and I even feel ur going to trist the scriptures to see to it that it suits ur lust after these things.

well people, im not a preacher, but I dont buy what the prosperity preachers teach, at least not any more, I been there and I done it all, its time to move on, when I was praying, this is what i felt in my heart, that all we need is seeking after the things that move God's heart, u know, when a number of children go to sleep on an empty stomach even in ur locality, do you really need to buy that $1000 plate?? when so many people around u cant even afford a manual bike, do u really need to drive a hammer?? and when atleast a great number of peopel (dont have the stats yet) are thrown into jail for crimes they are wrongfull being accused of commiting, and they never get justice served to them, do u really feel u need to sleep comfortably in that multi winged bangalow, now get me right peeps, im not stoping any one from pursuing after a good (dream) life, no, thats not my point, my point is this, wut really moves U?? are u moved by the same things that move the heart of God?? are you inspired by the things that change society and make the world a better place??, working upon stoping the injustices that we face daily in our society, the greed of the minority that have more than others, and feel they can use it to gain control over the less previledged?? I hope so guys, cuz thats wut our purpose on earth is, to serve His purpose and fullfil His will upon our lives, so that we can be accountable to Him when we finnally make our way back home.

"we dont have to wait till heaven to experience heaven!" try to make a heaven for the folks around u.
thank you guys, talk to you again.
Isiah 1:17
