WE CAN NOT AFFORD NOT TO MAKE IT...
DON'T FORGET HEAVEN
By Wade Martin Hughes, Sr. Kyfingers@aol.com
Multi- millionaire Rockefeller died while looking at his STAMP COLLECTION
worth many millions... What did Rockefeller leave when he died...
HE LEFT EVERYTHING... HE WHO DIES WITH THE MOST TOYS IS STILL DEAD...
I. GOD IS A REWARDER... SIN IS A MOCKER AND DESTROYER...
A. WAGE:
A FIXED PAYMENT, Return, recompense
Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus
Christ our Lord.
B. YOU BECOME A PRODUCT OF YOUR DAILY CHOICES...
C. You are not my your words, actions, deeds...
Galatians 6:3 For if a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself.
[4] But let every man prove his own work, and then shall he have rejoicing in himself alone, and
not in another.
[5] For every man shall bear his own burden.
[6] Let him that is taught in the word communicate unto him that teacheth in all good things.
[7] Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
[8] For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit
shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.
D. IF YOU DON'T LIKE WHAT YOU ARE GETTING CHANGE WHAT YOU ARE GIVING...
II. GOD IS NOT SLACK... NO ACT OF ACT KINDNESS IS UNNOTICED BY OUR
HEAVENLY FATHER...
A. SLACK:
Loose, lazy, idle, careless, lax...
Not taut; inactive; sluggish
Negligent or remiss
Neither ebbing or flowing
2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness;
but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come
to repentance.
B. Man may be slack, God may at times appear a little slack, but God will set the records
straight...
III. THERE IS A PAY DAY AT THE END OF THE ROAD...
GOD IS FAITHFUL AND JUST...
Hebrews 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God
must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
A. PAYDAY:
The time or day set on which that was earned is paid
B. REWARD:
A return or recompense for service or merit
Requital for good or evil; retribution
Sum offered for the return of property
C. REQUITAL:
Make a return for...
Reward or avenge
To pay back
IV. HEAVEN IS NOT REACHED BY ACCIDENT...
WE MUST SET ARE SIGHTS ON THE GOAL
A. God demands first place...
B. Oh, I would die for Jesus... I just can't seem to live for Him...
MANY WANT TO DIE RIGHT WITHOUT LIVING RIGHT...
Matthew 6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these
things shall be added unto you.
C. TODAY WE THINK BACKSLIDDING IS FUNNY?
Luke 9:62 And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking
back, is fit for the kingdom of God.
V. SIN COST...
SIN WILL TAKE YOU FARTHER THAN YOU YOU PLLANNED ON GOING...
SIN WILL KEEP YOU LONGER THAN YOU PLANNED ON PAYING...
SIN COST MORE THAN YOU WANT TO PAY...
Hebrews 2:2 For if the word spoken by angels was stedfast, and every transgression
and disobedience received a just recompence of reward;
Jeremiah 16:18 And first I will recompense their iniquity and their sin double; because
they have defiled my land, they have filled mine inheritance with the carcases of their
detestable and abominable things.
Hosea 8:7 For they have sown the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind: it hath no stalk:
the bud shall yield no meal: if so be it yield, the strangers shall swallow it up.
VI. SINNERS ARE LOSERS:
1. Lost life
2. Lost soul
3. Lost opportunities
4. Loses the Lord and Savior... I DON'T KNOW YOU...
5. LOST WATER
6. LOST LIGHT
7. LOSE HOME...
VII. DON'T FORGET HEAVEN...
HEAVEN --- WE CAN NOT AFFORD TO MISS IT...
Heaven is a PREPARED PLACE for a PREPARED PEOPLE...
One never gets to heaven by ACCIDENT...
A. THE WILL TO SUCCEED IS VERY IMPORTANT TO A PERSON...
BUT THE WILL TO PREPARE IS OF MUCH GREAT IMPORTANCE...
B. THE BOOK OF REVELATIONS 21-22 RECORDS 7 NO MORES IN HEAVEN...
1. NO MORE SEA... STORMS; SEPERATION
2. NO MORE NIGHT
3. NO MORE TEARS
4. NO MORE DEATH
5. NO MORE CURSE
6. NO MORE PAIN
7. NO MORE SORROW

heartache, disappointment and many long hard trials... but friend we must not forget
that GOD IS A REWARDER... HEAVEN IS REAL... DON'T FORGET HEAVEN IN ALL YOUR
BUSYNESS... DON'T FORGET HEAVEN...
