James_1-3: Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience

My Faith Has Found A Resting Place.
Not In Device Nor Creed;
I Trust The Ever-Living One,
His Wounds For Me Shall Plead,

I Need No Other Argument,
I Need No Other Plea,
It Is Enough That Jesus Died,
And That He Died For Me.

Enough For Me That Jesus Saves,
This Ends My Fear And Doubt;
A Sinful Soul I Come To Him,
He’ll Never Cast Me Out.

My Heart Is Leaning On The Word,
The Written Word Of God,
Salvation By My Saviour’s Name,
Salvation Through His Blood.

My Great Physician Heals The Sick.
The Lost He Came To Save
For Me His Precious Blood He Shed
For Me His Life He Gave.
Amen!

Psalms_89-1-2: I will sing of the mercies of the LORD for ever: with my mouth will I make known thy faithfulness to all…

Romans_8-35: Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?

Jesus Keep Me In Your Love.
There To Dwell Forever
Fill Me With Your Own Spirit
There To Serve You Ever.

In Your Love, In Your Love
There To Dwell Forever
Jesus Keep Me In Your Love
There To Dwell Forever.

Jesus Keep Me In Your Love
A Living Sacrifice
Holy, Willing, Obedient
There To Serve You Ever.

Jesus Keep Me In Your Love.
Loving You More Than Life.
Faithful To Thee To The End
There To Serve You Ever.

Jesus Keep Me In Your Love.
Hungering For You Only.
Thirsting For Your Righteousness
There To Serve You Ever.
Amen!

1-John_4-7:Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God

Thank You Jesus!

James_1-12-1: Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him

It Is The Promise Of God
Full Salvation To Give
Unto Him Who On Jesus
His Son Will Believe.

Hallelujah! Tis Done
I Believe On The Son
I Am Saved By The Blood Of The
Crucified One.

Though The Pathway Be Lonely
And Dangerous Too
Surely Jesus Is Able To Carry Me
Through.

Many Loved Ones Have I In Yon
Heavenly Throng.
They Are Safe Now In Glory, And
This Is Their Song.

There Are Prophets And Kings In
That Throng I Behold
And They Sing While They March
Through The Streets Of Pure Gold.

There’s A Part In That Chorus For
You And For Me
And The Theme Of Our Praises For
Ever Will Be.
Amen!

2-Peter_1-4: Whereby are…

Luke_2-11: For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.

I Must Have The Savior With Me.
For I Dare Not Walk Alone
I Must Feel His Presence Near Me
And His Arm Around Me Thrown.

Then My Soul Shall Fear No Ill
Let Him Lead Me Where He Will
I Will Go Without A Murmur
And His Footsteps Follow Still

I Must Have The Savior With Me
For My Faith At Best Is Weak
He Can Whisper Words Of Comfort
That No Other Voice Can Speak.

I Must Have The Savior With Me
In The Onward March Of Life
Thro’ The Tempest And The Sunshine
Thro’ The Battle And The Strife.

I Must Have The Savior With Me
And His Eyes The Way Must Guide
Till I Reach The Vale Of Jordan
Till I Cross The Rolling Tide.
Amen!

Sermon And Prayer Points By Pastor E A Adeboye. Heaven. Are You Prepared For Heaven?

Matthew_6-20: But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:

Memorise.

Man that is born of a woman is of few days, and full of trouble.
Job 14:1

Read.

2 Timothy 4:6-8
6 For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand.
7 I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith:
8 Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.

Message.

In the Bible, the word ‘Heaven’ is often used in three ways: to described…

1-John_4-18: There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love

Give To The Winds Thy Fears.
Hope, And Be Undismayed
God Hears Thy Sighs, And Count Thy Tears,
God Shall Lift Up Thy Head.

Through Waves, And Clouds, And Storms,
He Gently Clears Thy Way:
Wait Thou His Time; So Shall This Night
Soon End In Joyous Day.

Still Heavy Is Thy Heart?
Still Sink Thy Spirits Down?
Cast Off The Weight, Let Fear Depart,
Bid Every Care Be One.

What Though Thou Rulest Not?
Yet Heaven, And Earth, And Hell
Proclaim, God Sitteth On The Throne,
And Ruleth All Things Well

Leave To His Sovereign Sway
To Choose And To Command;
So Shalt Thou, Wondering, Own
His Way
How Wise. How Strong His Hand.

Far, Far Above Thy Thought
His Counsel Shall Appear,

1-John_4-18: There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love

Tossed With Rough Winds,
And Faint With Fear.
Above The Tempest, Soft And Clear,
What Still Small Accents Greet Mine Ear?
‘Tis I, Be Not Afraid.

‘Tis I, Who Washed Thy Spirit White
‘Tis I, Who Gave Thy Blind Eves Sight;
‘Tis 1, Thy Lord, Thy Life, Thy Light:
‘Tis I, Be Not Afraid.

These Raging Winds, This Surging Sea,
Have Spent Their Deadly Force On Me;
They Bear No Breath Of Wrath To Thee;
‘Tis I, Be Not Afraid.

This Bitter Cup, I Drank It First;
To Thee It Is No Drought Accurst,
The Hand That Gives It Thee Is Pierced:
‘Tis I, Be Not Afraid.

Mine Eyes Are Watching By Thy Bed,
Mine Arms Are Underneath Thy Head,
My Blessing Is Around…

Psalms_37-5: Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass.

It Is So Sweet To Trust In Jesus.
Just To Take Him At His Word;
Just To Rest Upon His Promise;
Just To Know, “Thus Saith The
Lord.”

Jesus, Jesus, How I Trust Him!
How I ‘Ve Proved Him Over And
Over!
Jesus, Jesus, Precious Jesus!
O For Grace To Trust Him More!

O How Sweet To Trust In Jesus.
Just To Trust His Cleansing Blood;
Just In Simple Faith To Plunge Me
‘Neath The Healing, Cleansing Flood!

Yes. ‘Tis Sweet To Trust In Jesus,
Just From Sin And Self To Cease:
Just From Jesus Simply Taking
Life And Rest, And Joy And Peace.

I’m So Glad I Learned To Trust Thee,
Precious Jesus, Saviour, Friend,
And I Know That Thou Art With Me,
Wilt Be With Me To The End.
Amen!

Proverbs_18-10: The name of the LORD is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe

Save In The Arms Of Jesus.
Safe On His Gentle Breast,
There By His Love Over Shaded,
Sweetly My Soul Shall Rest,
Hark! ‘Tis The Voice Of Angels,
Borne In A Song To Me,
Over The Fields Of Glory,
Over The Jasper Sea.

Safe In The Arms Of Jesus,
Safe On His Gentle Breast,
There By His Love Over Shaded.
Sweetly My Soul Shall Rest.

Safe In The Arms Of Jesus,
Safe From Corroding Care,
Safe From The Worlds
Temptations,
Sin Cannot Harm Me There
Free From The Blight Of Sorrow,
Free From My Doubts And Fears;
Only A Few More Trials,
Only A Few More Tears

Jesus, My Hearts Dear Refuge.
Jesus Has Died For Me:
Firm On The Rock Of Ages,
Ever My Trust Shall Be –
Here Let Me…

Matthew_6-20: But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:

Time May Tarnish Earthly Treasures.
Take What I Have Loved Before.
Jesus Gives Abiding Pleasures,
Having Him, What Need I More?

I Have Christ And Need No More
From His Hand Rich Gift Out-pour
Lo, I’m Singing Over And Over
I Have Christ, I Need No More.

Tho’ The Beams Of Worldly
Gladness,
Fail To Light The Pathway Dim,
Jesus Takes Away My Sadness,
All I Need I Find In Him,
All I Need I Find In Him.

To His Boundless Stores Of
Blessing,
Jesus Open Wide The Door,
All In All In Him Possessing.
I Shall Never Want For More,
I Shall Never Want For More.
Amen!

Psalms_16-11: Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at…

John_14-27: Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid

If You Want Pardon. If You Want Peace.
If You Want Sorrow Or Sighing To Cease,
Look Up To Jesus Who Died On The Tree,
To Purchase A Full Salvation.

Living Beneath The Shade Of The Cross,
Counting The Jewels Of Earth But Dross;
Cleansed In The Blood That Flows From His Side,
Enjoying A Full Salvation.

If You Want Jesus To Reign In Your Soul,
Plung In The Fountain And You Shall Be Whole:
Washed In The Blood Of The Crucified One.
Enjoying A Full Salvation.

If You Want Boldness Take Part In The Fight;
If You Want Purity, Walk In The Light;
If You Want Liberty, Shout And Be Free.
Enjoying A Full Salvation.

If You…

Mark_9-23-1: Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth

All Things Are Possible To Him That Can In Jesus Name Believe.
Lord, I No More Thy Name Blaspheme.
Thy Truth I Lovingly Receive,
I Can, I Do Believe In Thee;
All Things Are Possible To Me.

‘Twas Most Impossible Of All
That Here Sin’s Reign In Me Should Cease;
Yet Shall It Be, I Know It Shall;
Jesus, I Trust Thy Faithfulness!
If Nothing Is Too Hard For Thee,
All Things Are Possible To Me.

Though Earth And Hell The Word Gainsay,
The Word Of God Shall Never Fail
The Lord Can Break Sins Iron Sway;
‘Tis Certain, Though Impossible,
The Thing Impossible Shall Be,
All Things Are Possible To Me.

All Things Are Possible To God;
To Christ, The Power Of God In Man;
To Me When I Am All Renewed,

Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends

There’s A Place I Love To Tarry.
When My Soul Is Sad, Oppressed,
‘Tis Alone With Christ My Saviour,
Where He Bids Me “Come And Rest,”

Just To Be Alone With Jesus.
Just To Hear Him Softly Say:
“Fear Not, Though The World Forsake You,
“Lo I’m With You Always.’

When The Cares Of Life Are Heavy,
And Beneath My Cross I Bend;
Then I Go Alone With Jesus,
For He Is My Dearest Friend.

When The Tempter Would Assail Me,
Jesus Bids Me To Him Flee;
He’s My Refuge, Friend And Saviour,
He Is All In All To Me.
Amen!

Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends

Thank You Jesus!

Isaiah_41-13-1: For I the LORD thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee

By Whom. Lord. Shall Jacob Arise.
His Friends Are Very Few;
What Is Surprising Is This That
They Are Not In One Accord.

“By Whom, Lord, Shall Jacob Arise?”
His Enemies Are Cruel
They Joy As If They Have Triumphed
And Said, “He Is Finished.”

“By Whom, Lord, Shall Jacob Arise?”
Can Anybody Say?
The Dried Up Branch There On The Ground
Can It Bloom Any More?

O Lord My God, It Is Thy Work
No One Else Can Do It:
Descend Like The Dew On Jacob
And Jacob Shall Arise.
Amen!

Romans_6-23: For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord

Lord. I Came Not For Riches. Neither Silver Nor Gold.
I Would Make Sure Of Heaven
I Would Enter The Fold
In The Book Of Thy Kingdom
With Its Pages So Fair
Tell Me, Jesus My Saviour
Is My Name Written There?

Is My Name Written There?
On The Page White And Fair?
In The Book Of Thy Kingdom
Is My Name Written There?

Lord. My Sins They Are Many
Like The Sands Of The Sea.
But Thy Blood O My Saviour
Is Sufficient For Me;
For Thy Promise Is Written,
In Bright Letters That Glow.
“Tho’ Your Sins Be As Scarlet,
I Will Make Them Like Snow.”

O That Beautiful City
With Its Mansions Of Light,
With Its Glorified Being,
In Pure Garments Of White
Where No Evil…

Psalms_46-10: Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth

My God My Father, While I Stray,
Far From My Home In Life’s Rough Way,
Oh Teach Me From M Heart To Say,
“Thy Will Be Done’

Though Dark My Path And Sad
My Lot,
Let Me Be Still And Murmur
Not;
Or Breathe The Prayer Divinely Taught,
“Thy Will Be Done.”

What Though In Lonely Grief I Sigh
For Friends Beloved No Longer Nigh,
Submissive Still Would I Reply,
“Thy’ Will Be Done.”

If Thou Should’st Call Me To Resign
What Most I Prize, It Never Was Mine;
I Only Yield Thee What Is Thine;
“Thy Will Be Done.”

Let But My Fainting Heart Be Blest
With Thy Sweet Spirit For Its Guest
My God, To Thee I Leave The Rest

Colossians_3-12: Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering

My Sufferings All To Thee Are Known.
Tempted In Every Point Like Me;
Regard My Grief, Regard Thy Own,
Jesus, Remember Calvary!

Art Thou Not Touched With Human Woe?
Hath Pity Left The Son Of Man?
Dost Thou Not All My Sorrows
Know
And Claim A Share In All My Pain?

Have I Not Heard, Have I Not Known,
That Thou, The Everlasting Lord,
Whom Heaven And Earth Their
Maker
Art Always Faithful To Thy Word?

The Day Of Small And Feeble
Things
I Know Thou Never Wilt
Despise;
I Know, With Healing In His
Wings,
The Sun Of Righteousness Shall
Rise.

When Shadows Darken My Earthly Way.
And Long And Dreary Seems The Day,
This Promise Sweet Comes My Soul To Greet,
He Never Forgets His Own.

He Never Forgets His Own.
He Never Forgets His Own.
Though Friends Deny There Is One So Nigh,
Who Never Forgets His Own.

When Cherished Plans All Here Seem To Fail,
And Doubt And Fear My Soul Assail,
‘Tis Then I Rest On His Loving Breast,
Who Never Forgets His Own.

O No, He Never Forgets His Own,
And Dearer He Has Daily Grown,
Since That Glad Day When He Came To Stay,
He Never Forgets His Own.
Amen!

Peace Within.

Psalms_46-10: Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth

Master. The Tempest Is Raging.
The Billows Are Tossing High!

No Shelter Or Help Is Nigh;

How Canst Thou Lie Asleep,

A Grave In The Angry Deep?

They All Shall Sweetly Obey My Will:
