CELESTIAL ETERNITY
Opportunity Of A Lifetime
Opportunity Of A Lifetime
Author: Mark V. Markov
How much God loves us
He gives health to us
To some a very sharp clear mind
To excel in life
To be the best that we can be
To have success
To be much blessed
Oh how He loves us
Every good and perfect gift comes
From the Father of lights
And when some achieve much in life
By doing it the right way
If they don't know His only Begotten Son the Lord Jesus Christ
He gives an opportunity of a lifetime
To accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior
And use their blessings in this life
For His Kingdom
Storing up the same value of treasure
In heaven
To someday have that eternal reward
Forever with you
In God's Kingdom
And to be even more blessed
In many areas of your life
Here on earth
So if you are a billionaire here on earth
And if you use every cent of that by the time you die
For spreading the gospel of truth
The gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Helping the poor, orphans, and widows in this life
In the name of Jesus Christ
Than for every cent invested
In the measure of heavenly reward value
It will be given to you
And you will be a billionaire in eternity
In God's Kingdom.
This is how much God loves you
And gives you an opportunity of a lifetime.
Not only it was He who blessed you
To be successful in life
Because if you have no health
You can't be anything in this world.
But He also is giving you an opportunity of a lifetime
To accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior
For you are saved by grace alone.
And once you are saved.
You have an opportunity
To be even more blessed
In many areas of your life.
And to receive an eternal reward in heaven
That will be there with you forever.
Based on how much you invested while here on earth.
So the wisest thing to do,
Is to accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior
To be saved by His merciful grace
To remain faithful to Him till the end.
To write out a will donating as much as your heart wills
Toward spreading the gospel of truth around the world
And helping the poor, orphans, and the widows.
In the precious name of Jesus
That way every cent you have invested
Here on earth, will be waiting for you
In heavenly measure
As your reward in God's Kingdom
And it will be yours forever.
So if you are a billionaire here on earth
You have an opportunity of a lifetime
To be a billionaire in heaven!
Based on the heavenly reward system.
Jesus Christ said that even for a cup of water
You will not miss your reward.
How much more?
If it was a billion dollars?
Oh how much God loves us
He gives health to us
To some a very sharp clear mind
To excel in life.
To be the best that we can be
To have success
To be much blessed
Oh how He loves us
Every good and perfect gift comes
From the Father of lights...
James 1:17-18 (ESV)
17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above,
coming down from the Father of lights,
with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change.
18 Of his own will he brought us forth by the word of truth,
that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.
James 1:27 (ESV)
27 Religion that is pure and undefiled before God the Father is this:
to visit orphans and widows in their affliction,
and to keep oneself unstained from the world.
Matthew 10:42 (ESV)
And whoever gives one of these little ones
even a cup of cold water because he is a disciple,
truly, I say to you, he will by no means lose his reward."
Mark 9:41
For truly, I say to you, whoever gives you a cup of water to drink
because you belong to Christ will by no means lose his reward
Luke 16:9-10
9 And I tell you, make friends for yourselves by means of unrighteous wealth,
so that when it fails they may receive you into the eternal dwellings.
10 "One who is faithful in a very little is also faithful in much,
and one who is dishonest in a very little is also dishonest in much.
Daniel 4 English Standard Version (ESV)
Nebuchadnezzar Praises God
1 King Nebuchadnezzar to all peoples, nations, and languages,
that dwell in all the earth: Peace be multiplied to you!
2 It has seemed good to me to show the signs and wonders
that the Most High God has done for me.
3 How great are his signs,
how mighty his wonders!
His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom,
and his dominion endures from generation to generation.
Nebuchadnezzar's Second Dream
4 I, Nebuchadnezzar, was at ease in my house
and prospering in my palace.
5 I saw a dream that made me afraid. As I lay in bed the fancies and the visions of my head alarmed me.
6 So I made a decree that all the wise men of Babylon should be brought before me,
that they might make known to me the interpretation of the dream.
7 Then the magicians, the enchanters, the Chaldeans,
and the astrologers came in, and I told them the dream, but they could not make known to me its interpretation.
8 At last Daniel came in before me-he who was named Belteshazzar after the name of my god,
and in whom is the spirit of the holy gods-and I told him the dream, saying,
9 "O Belteshazzar, chief of the magicians, because I know that the spirit of the holy gods is in you
and that no mystery is too difficult for you, tell me the visions of my dream that I saw and their interpretation.
10 The visions of my head as I lay in bed were these: I saw, and behold, a tree in the midst of the earth,
and its height was great.
11 The tree grew and became strong, and its top reached to heaven,
and it was visible to the end of the whole earth.
12 Its leaves were beautiful and its fruit abundant,
and in it was food for all. The beasts of the field found shade under it,
and the birds of the heavens lived in its branches, and all flesh was fed from it.
13 "I saw in the visions of my head as I lay in bed, and behold,
a watcher, a holy one, came down from heaven.
14 He proclaimed aloud and said thus: ‘Chop down the tree and lop off its branches,
strip off its leaves and scatter its fruit. Let the beasts flee from under it and the birds from its branches.
15 But leave the stump of its roots in the earth, bound with a band of iron and bronze,
amid the tender grass of the field. Let him be wet with the dew of heaven.
Let his portion be with the beasts in the grass of the earth.
16 Let his mind be changed from a man's, and let a beast's mind be given to him;
and let seven periods of time pass over him.
17 The sentence is by the decree of the watchers,
the decision by the word of the holy ones,
to the end that the living may know that the Most High rules the kingdom of men and gives it to whom he will and sets over it the lowliest of men.'
18 This dream I, King Nebuchadnezzar, saw. And you, O Belteshazzar, tell me the interpretation,
because all the wise men of my kingdom are not able to make known to me the interpretation,
but you are able, for the spirit of the holy gods is in you."
Daniel Interprets the Second Dream
19 Then Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, was dismayed for a while,
and his thoughts alarmed him. The king answered and said, "Belteshazzar,
let not the dream or the interpretation alarm you." Belteshazzar answered and said,
"My lord, may the dream be for those who hate you and its interpretation for your enemies!
20 The tree you saw, which grew and became strong, so that its top reached to heaven,
and it was visible to the end of the whole earth,
21 whose leaves were beautiful and its fruit abundant,
and in which was food for all, under which beasts of the field found shade,
and in whose branches the birds of the heavens lived-
22 it is you, O king, who have grown and become strong.
Your greatness has grown and reaches to heaven, and your dominion to the ends of the earth.
23 And because the king saw a watcher,
a holy one, coming down from heaven and saying,
‘Chop down the tree and destroy it, but leave the stump of its roots in the earth,
bound with a band of iron and bronze, in the tender grass of the field,
and let him be wet with the dew of heaven,
and let his portion be with the beasts of the field, till seven periods of time pass over him,'
24 this is the interpretation, O king: It is a decree of the Most High,
which has come upon my lord the king,
25 that you shall be driven from among men,
and your dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field.
You shall be made to eat grass like an ox, and you shall be wet with the dew of heaven,
and seven periods of time shall pass over you,
till you know that the Most High rules the kingdom of men and gives it to whom he will.
26 And as it was commanded to leave the stump of the roots of the tree,
your kingdom shall be confirmed for you from the time that you know that Heaven rules.
27 Therefore, O king, let my counsel be acceptable to you:
break off your sins by practicing righteousness, and your iniquities by showing mercy to the oppressed,
that there may perhaps be a lengthening of your prosperity."
Nebuchadnezzar's Humiliation
28 All this came upon King Nebuchadnezzar.
29 At the end of twelve months he was walking on the roof of the royal palace of Babylon,
30 and the king answered and said, "Is not this great Babylon,
which I have built by my mighty power as a royal residence and for the glory of my majesty?"
31 While the words were still in the king's mouth, there fell a voice from heaven,
"O King Nebuchadnezzar, to you it is spoken: The kingdom has departed from you,
32 and you shall be driven from among men, and your dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field.
And you shall be made to eat grass like an ox, and seven periods of time shall pass over you,
until you know that the Most High rules the kingdom of men and gives it to whom he will."
33 Immediately the word was fulfilled against Nebuchadnezzar.
He was driven from among men and ate grass like an ox,
and his body was wet with the dew of heaven till his hair grew as long as eagles' feathers,
and his nails were like birds' claws.
Nebuchadnezzar Restored
34 At the end of the days I, Nebuchadnezzar,
lifted my eyes to heaven, and my reason returned to me,
and I blessed the Most High, and praised and honored him who lives forever,
for his dominion is an everlasting dominion,
and his kingdom endures from generation to generation;
35 all the inhabitants of the earth are accounted as nothing,
and he does according to his will among the host of heaven
and among the inhabitants of the earth;
and none can stay his hand
or say to him, "What have you done?"
36 At the same time my reason returned to me,
and for the glory of my kingdom, my majesty and splendor returned to me.
My counselors and my lords sought me, and I was established in my kingdom,
and still more greatness was added to me.
37 Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise and extol and honor the King of heaven,
for all his works are right and his ways are just;
and those who walk in pride he is able to humble.
1 Timothy 6:17-19 (ESV)
17 As for the rich in this present age, charge them not to be haughty,
nor to set their hopes on the uncertainty of riches, but on God,
who richly provides us with everything to enjoy.
18 They are to do good, to be rich in good works,
to be generous and ready to share,
19 thus storing up treasure for themselves as a good foundation for the future,
so that they may take hold of that which is truly life.
Titus 2:11-15
11 For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation for all people,
12 training us to renounce ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled,
upright, and godly lives in the present age,
13 waiting for our blessed hope, the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ,
14 who gave himself for us to redeem us from all lawlessness
and to purify for himself a people for his own possession who are zealous for good works.
15 Declare these things; exhort and rebuke with all authority. Let no one disregard you.
Titus 3:1-8
Be Ready for Every Good Work
1 Remind them to be submissive to rulers and authorities, to be obedient,
to be ready for every good work,
2 to speak evil of no one, to avoid quarreling, to be gentle,
and to show perfect courtesy toward all people.
3 For we ourselves were once foolish, disobedient, led astray,
slaves to various passions and pleasures, passing our days in malice and envy,
hated by others and hating one another.
4 But when the goodness and loving kindness of God our Savior appeared,
5 he saved us, not because of works done by us in righteousness,
but according to his own mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit,
6 whom he poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior,
7 so that being justified by his grace we might become heirs according to the hope of eternal life.
8 The saying is trustworthy, and I want you to insist on these things,
so that those who have believed in God may be careful to devote themselves to good works.
These things are excellent and profitable for people.
