Did you know heaven is real?
I've heard people describe a place, an experience or an event as "heaven" or "heavenly". How many people have been to heaven and come back to planet earth? Can we actually compare a place or an experience to heaven? Who goes to heaven? When do people go to heaven? What is life after death? Did you know your last day on earth? Where will you spend your eternity?
Heaven is the kingdom of God, His dwelling place. "The Lord has established His throne in heaven, And His kingdom rules over all".
Psalms 103:19 NKJV
We're all tourists or shoppers on earth. I have never seen or heard of a shopper that decides to make the mall they shop in their home. In thesame vein, human being is not immortal. One day you will close your eyes in death; after which your journey continues to eternity (everlasting life). Your eternity depends on who you surrendered your life to when on earth. If you surrendered your life to Jesus and walked in His steps, you will go to heaven.
"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life."
John 3:16 NKJV
If those who surrendered their lives to Jesus and walked in His steps go to heaven, where will people who reject Jesus go? Hell.
- A place of eternal shame, disgrace and punishment. Daniel 12:2
- A blazing furnace Matthew 13: 50
- Eternal fire Jude 1:7
- A place prepared for the devil and his angels.
“Then He will also say to those on the left hand, ‘Depart from Me, you cursed, into the everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels:"
Matthew 25:41 NKJV
"Many of those whose bodies lie dead and buried will rise up, some to everlasting life and some to shame and everlasting disgrace. Those who are wise will shine as bright as the sky, and those who lead many to righteousness will shine like the stars forever".
Daniel 12:2-3 NLT
“There is no judgment against anyone who believes in him. But anyone who does not believe in him has already been judged for not believing in God’s one and only Son. And the judgment is based on this fact: God’s light came into the world, but people loved the darkness more than the light, for their actions were evil. All who do evil hate the light and refuse to go near it for fear their sins will be exposed. But those who do what is right come to the light so others can see that they are doing what God wants. ”
John 3:18-21 NLT
“But cowards, unbelievers, the corrupt, murderers, the immoral, those who practice witchcraft, idol worshipers, and all liars—their fate is in the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death.”
Revelation 21:8 NLT
There is no repentance and no mercy after death; this is the time to surrender your life to Jesus.

- Confess your sins to God in prayer.
- Ask Jesus to be the Master of your life.
- Don't go back to your sins.

Prayer
Lord Jesus, I come to you today; save me and I shall be saved. Heal me and I shall be healed. Forgive me of all my sins (confess them). Have mercy on me. Come and be the Lord over my spirit, soul and body. Help me not to go back to my old way of life - give me a new beginning. I am yours Lord! In Jesus name I pray. Amen
"In the same way, there is joy in the presence of God’s angels when even one sinner repents.”
Luke 15:10 NLT
