TOPIC: AMAZING ETERNAL ABODE
TEXT: REVELATION 21:1-7
1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.
3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.
4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
5 And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.
6 And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.
7 He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.
MEMORY VERSE: “And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea” (REVELATION 21:1).
MESSAGE:
Our text underscores the vision of a new heaven and a new earth as seen by Apostle John. The passing away of the old world of trouble and commotion shall pave way for the new world.
There is a world to come which is a better country, a heavenly city, prepared for the redeemed and overcomers. A place that is devoid of tears and sorrow but characterized by eternal joy and gladness. A world where no one grows old or dies.

The glories, beautiful edifices, trending fashion of this present world will melt with fervent heat. Christian youths are therefore admonished to lay up their treasures in heaven and to endure the present pain and predicament because they are ‘light affliction’ and will certainly pass away with the old world.
We must fix our eyes on Jesus and hold on to His promises as they are ‘true and faithful’. Sin, no matter how infinitesimal, will hinder anyone from experiencing the new world. God’s river of salvation still flows today. Therefore, drink from it freely to be prepared for the glories of heaven.
QUOTE: We must fix our eyes on Jesus.
CHALLENGE: Endure your present light afflictions.
PRAYER: Lord, prepare me for the supernal heaven.
1. Admit that you are a sinner. "For all [humans] have sinned, and comes short of the glory of God....[and] the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 3:23)
2. Repent now. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out ...[for] if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness " (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9)
3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
