"His Voice Today"
November 19
🔸️ Must live a life that has Eternal value! 🔸️
In a message written by Bro.William Booth (founder of the Salvation Army Congregation) entitled "what are the things that will be remembered in the Eternity", he has written about a dream that he dreamt.
In that dream, he hadn't seen himself as a whole-hearted brother, instead he saw himself as an ordinary believer. In that dream he also saw scenes such as dying and entering into Heaven. There in Heaven, William Booth found his "Book of Life." He also found that the word "was forgiven" alone was written in large letters in the Book of Life.
At first, William Booth, rejoiced much, for he was forgiven and now in Heaven! "But" he saw another group of believers in Heaven.... they were the ones with the supreme Glory that one can't describe. Who are these people? These are the people, who haven't considered their own life wonderful on this Earth! They had lost everything for the Lord and for His church! They had lost money, position, honour.... and they sacrificed everything which the World considers highly valuable!!
William Booth, who saw their indescribable Glory, was jealous of them! At that time, the Lord Jesus came to William Booth (in the dream) and said, "William Booth, you can never be united with these people who shine in indescribable Glory! Do you know why? Unlike these glorious people, you lived a life for your own self on the Earth!" Jesus regretfully said. The moment while Jesus was saying this to William Booth, William Booth woke up from his dream. Only then, he realised that he was still alive and all that he had seen was only a dream.
Do you know, the way he was realised at that time? From that day onwards, he had made a firm decision to live the rest of his life for his Lord!!
Prayer:
Our heavenly Father! Give us a full-fledged devotional life that finds Glory in Eternity, so that our life will not end with the name of mere believer! In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.
