Read Revelation 21
Some believers are said to have their head so far in the clouds that they are of no earthly use! I wonder if you have ever described someone in these words. The truth is quite the opposite. The more our head and heart are in the heavens the more useful we will be here on earth.
Just think for a moment how this oxymoron can be true. As you meditate on heaven and as you contemplate the beauty and peace of being with God for all eternity, that truth will filter outwards into the lives of others. Since heaven is relational and since our God is relational it’s virtually impossible to taste the delights of heaven and then to keep it to yourself. The more you understand of heaven and God’s eternal plan, the more you will yearn and cry out for opportunities to share your faith and invite others into that eternal kingdom. The more you know of heaven the more your prayers for others will take on an eternal perspective. It really is parallel to our bodies and food. If you put good food into your body, your body reacts well and grows healthily. But if you put bad food into your body, you suffer in sickness.. Setting our heart and mind on Christ in the heavenlies and meditating on the beauty of heaven is good food for our soul and grows outwards in joy, other centeredness and Christ-likeness. Filling our heart and soul and mind with bad food (like pornography, greed, material things, lusts and covetings etc) results in spiritual sickness. Shallow Christianity, greed, selfishness, anger and unforgiveness and so on are all symptoms of a misdirected heart and mind that have been fed bad food.
This is why so much of the New Testament is spent telling us to focus and to keep our mind fixed on Christ in the heavenlies. See Colossians 3 and how the heavenly perspective flows outwards in our lives. Hebrews 12 encourages us to set our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfector of our faith, who sits at the right hand of the throne of God. 1 Peter 1 tells us to be filled with hope and rejoicing because of our heavenly inheritance.
What are you doing each day to set your heart and mind on Christ Jesus sitting at the right hand of God? How are you ensuring that you have the correct focus each and every single day? How are you drawing near to God moment by moment?
Prayer:-
þ Ask the Lord to give our brothers in the Myanmar Bible Colleges a greater heavenly focus so that they can serve and teach and give selflessly of themselves. Pray this for your congregation as well. Pray that both groups see the fruit of such a focus.
Looking Forward to Christmas

Read Daniel 12:1-3. 1 Corinthians 15
The death of death is a fascinating concept isn’t it? Death will cease to exist and mankind will be returned to an Eden like state. On that final day of the resurrection 1 Corinthians 15:54 will be fully realised.
When the perishable has been clothed with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality, then the saying that is written will come true: "Death has been swallowed up in victory."
"Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting?"
But right here right now you and I live in the surety that death has no sting for us. The law has been fulfilled for us in Christ Jesus. His perfect record of obedience has been given to us or transferred to our account and we have been reckoned as righteous. The penalty for our sins has fallen on Jesus and the wrath of God has been emptied upon Him. By His stripes we are healed! If nothing else let this truth fill you with joy and adoration and praise to God.
But read 1 John 3:21-22.
Dear friends, if our hearts do not condemn us, we have confidence before God and receive from Him anything we ask, because we obey His commands and do what pleases Him.
One effect of having death nullified here and now by the work of Christ is to be able to approach God with a pure and sincere heart. We can approach God confidently in our time of need, confident that He will grant us the grace we need to take another step. We can treat God as our loving heavenly Father. We can be assured that God looks upon us as He does His one and only Son Jesus and does not see our sins any more. They have been nailed to the cross! They have been forgiven! Read Hosea 14:1-4 (take in vs 4 a few hundred times) if you are not convinced.
The world should see you enjoying a deep and intimate relationship with God and a very fruitful prayer life. This is not a blank cheque, guaranteeing you a Ferrari and 5 storey mansion, but a promise that God will walk with you, listen to you, answer your prayers and draw near to you as you draw hear to Him. This is a promise that God loves you and has opened His blessings to you right here and now. As believers in Christ Jesus our certain hope on the day of the resurrection impacts our life each and every step today.
Prayer:-
þ Spend time praising God for your salvation and for the hope you have in heaven. Pray for whatever is on your heart.

Read Daniel 12:2 Revelation 20
Daniel looks ahead to the end of time and sees the resurrection of the final day. Revelation 20 captures the same resurrection. While there is much debate (often unhelpful) and a lack of consensus on the thousand years, let us not tarry over the arguments but let us seek to be encouraged by the Words of our Lord.
On that day of the resurrection, satan and his angels will be finally and ultimately dealt with. The beast, the false prophet and the devil are all thrown into the lake of fire and burning sulphur where they are tormented for ever and ever. That’s such a horrid picture isn’t it? But also notice that as all people are raised up certain books are opened up. A Book of Deeds is opened up and people are judged by what’s in that book. Is it written in that book that you have given your heart to Christ Jesus? Is it written in that book that you put your faith and trust solely in Jesus and not in your own merits or deeds? Is it written there that you loved the Lord your God with your heart and soul and mind and strength and that you loved your neighbour as yourself?
O joy of joys! What grand hallelujahs will erupt from our hearts and through our mouths as we see our names in the book of life. What Hosannas will sing forth as Jesus bids us welcome into the eternal kingdom prepared for us. What praises will be shouted as we realise the goal of our faith, the salvation of our souls.
But notice Revelation 20:14 and it’s placement before vs 15 (where else could vs 15 go but before 15 anyway, right??). In vs 14 death and Hades (the abode of the dead as they await the resurrection and judgement) are thrown into the lake of fire. What’s happening? Death is being destroyed and nullified. From this point there will be no death! That’s great news for some, horrid news for others. Those who are thrown into the lake of fire in verse 15 will never die. They cannot die because death has been destroyed. That really breaks my heart and causes an incredible ache. Some people are choosing now, by rejecting Christ, a living eternity in this lake of burning sulphur and fire. But the good news is that everyone who believes in Christ shall not perish (in this eternal torment) but shall have eternal life. Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.
This is the hope that every believer has in the face of death is to motivate you and spur you on in this life. If nothing else let it do 2 things - let is fill you with joy that God has spared you and given you eternal life. and let it motivate you to share the good news with those who are headed to eternal destruction.
Prayer:-
þ Pray that God will save those you know whom are headed to the lake.

Read Daniel 12:1. Matt 24: 1-35
Times are tough but the Bible assures us that times will get tougher. As the end approaches and draws near there will be a time of distress such as has not happened from the beginning of nations. Things are going to get a lot worse.
But it’s not a call to pack your bags and head for the hills. It’s a time to hold up our heads for our redemption is near. It’s a time to loudly an unashamedly proclaim that Jesus is coming, repent and believe!
To be so brave and fearless in the face of persecution we need to have an eternal focus. We need to set our eyes on Jesus in the heavenlies. We need to set our heart on Christ above as He reigns in majesty and glory. We need to realise that this life is a small fraction of our eternity. The moment you pass from this world you will be with your Lord and Saviour. The Lord assures us that everyone who’s name is written in the book of life will be delivered. Be assured and be confident that the Lord will deliver you from this fiery trial. Be certain that the Lord will rescue you from every evil attack and will deliver you safely to His heavenly kingdom. Be sure that you will stand victorious at the resurrection. Your enemies will be defeated. Your cause will be vindicated and you will be delivered!!! In times of trouble you have eternal hope. Soldier on good Christian!
Let me though, ask you to do something different today. Prayerfully consider ways that you can encourage and support your brothers and sisters in the Lord with these words from Daniel. Who in your congregation needs to be encouraged and supported? How will you do this? Will you send a card, an sms or have coffee with them? How will you be a blessing to another today?
Prayer:-
þ Pray that our Committee of Management would have an eternal kingdom focus and seek to use our funds to grow the Kingdom. Pray that they have wisdom and insight and direct and unified leading from the Lord.
þ Pray that you would have the words of encouragement to share with another.
þ Pray for the India Mission Team. Even though it is primarily a building mission pray that we’ll have opportunities to grow the Kingdom and to encourage our brothers and sisters there.

Read Daniel 9
There is so much confusion in Daniel 9. The numbers and symbols can overwhelm us and make us confused to the point where the passage just has no impact in our lives.
But let’s mine out the diamonds in these verses. Early in his prayer Daniel is concerned about sin. The Lord answers in vs 24 telling him that transgressions will end. Sin will be atoned for. Everlasting righteousness will be established. Sin will cease to exist. We know that this will occur when Jesus returns for the second and final time to judge the world and to deal with sin. All evil, sinners, death and even Hades, will be thrown into the lake of burning sulphur and fire. From that point forward nothing evil, wicked or immoral will exist. God’s perfect and pure kingdom will reign and YOU, believer in Jesus, will be in it! Hallelujah and praise God.
In vs 25 God answers Daniel’s question about God restoring His rightful position. God says that He is in control of the times. There will be a time and a period of time. There will be events, even cataclysmic events, wars and desolations but God is still in control. All these things are decreed but the end will come and God, our God, will reign supreme. Throughout it all God will remain completely in control. Even though desolations are decreed and wars will continue to the very end, God is still in control. All things are working towards His chosen end.
Does your life reflect the total sovereignty and control of God? Do your words and your prayers? Do the people around you look at you and see a God in perfect and utter control?
Prayer:-
þ Pray that God would allow you to see the world from His perspective and to live a life that reflects His sovereignty. Pray this for everyone in your congregation.
þ Pray that God would use you to bring others under His Lordship through repentance and faith.
þ If you have been anxious about anything spend time praying about it, confessing the anxiety, praying about the issue and giving thanks to God through Christ.
Pray that tomorrow’s service will be a time of gathering in God’s greatness and majesty. Pray that He’ll do great things among us and that those who are rejecting Him will repent and bow the knee.

Read Daniel 9:20-29. 1 John 3:21-22. 1 John 5:14. John 9:31
Knowing that God will hear our prayers in the thick of the jungle is a great source of confidence. If only I could be sure that God will be there and hear when I call out to Him. If only we can be sure that when I really need Him, God will come through. If only.... Have you ever found yourself thinking like that? Have you ever procrastinated with such thoughts? Yeah, me too.
The reality is that I can be sure that God will hear me and answer my prayers. The reality is that God will never leave me nor forsake me. He will never let me down. That is not akin to saying that God will always and immediately do what I ask Him (or sometimes sinfully demand Him) to do. God is not bound by my agenda. He will do what He wants, when He wants and how He wants. He will always act righteously. He will always be just and fair and holy. When I pray to the Lord from the depths of the flood, I can be assured of this. Even when overwhelmed I can be confident in the Lord. Paul the apostle was being persecuted and attacked for His faith. He declared boldly and confidently, ‘The Lord will rescue me from every evil attack and deliver me safely to His heavenly Kingdom’. Job, when he lost everything, except his nagging wife, declared that the Lord is righteous. The Lord gives and the Lord takes away but even so, the Lord is to be praised!!! The Lord will deliver you. The Lord will hear you. He will answer your prayers. Trust Him and march forward today. Step out in faith and find out for yourself just how reliable God is. Seek the Lord while He may be found and call on Him today.
Throughout my more than two decades of walking with the Lord I have seen Him answer prayers in the extremes. Sometimes He answers immediately and more than I expected. At other times He has waited. The result has always been to His glory, to His credit even if I couldn’t see it at the time. Be encouraged, God hears. God listens. God answers! As we read in Ephesians 3:20-21 Now to Him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to His power that is at work within us, to Him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.
Prayer:-
þ Pray for our Session and Pastor as they lead us and guide us and take oversight upon us. Pray that they will be wise men filled with the Word and the Spirit. Pray that God would protect them from the wiles and temptations of the evil one.
þ Pray that the Committee of Management would be wise in its use of funds. Pray that God would grant them the ability to maximise every dollar spent and the ability to bring glory to the Lord and growth in His Kingdom.

Read Daniel 9:15-19. Hosea 14:1-4. 1 John 1:9
Sometimes, often after we’ve sinned, we feel like a shipwrecked Christian. Sometimes we feel so hopeless that God couldn’t possibly use us. Sometimes we feel so ill equipped and so ill prepared that we could be of no real use in this world or in the church. Sometimes we just feel distant from God.
Praise God! The good news is that God allows U-turns. God wants us to turn and to come back to Him. God wants us to confess our sins and short comings to Him. He wants us to admit our failings. God is a loving and compassionate God. He will forgive us when we ask Him. He will love us freely and turn His anger away. God will welcome us back with arms open wide and receive us graciously. Even more so, God will work in us to change us from the inside out. He will heal us of our waywardness, purifying us from all unrighteousness. God will grow us and mature us, making us to be like Christ Jesus. We were created in Him to be holy and blameless (see Ephesians 1) and God will do everything necessary to grow us in this direction.
Unconfessed sin, ignored sin or unrepentant sin in our lives is like a malignant cancer that eats away at our soul. It slowly but surely corrodes our relationship with God and drives us further and further from the light (John 3:20). We will never stand up for the Lord and confess His name publicly while we are walking in unforgiveness. We will never put our lives on the line for Jesus while we’re indulging our fantasies. There’s just too much to lose. The cure is confession. The antidote is to ask for forgiveness.
God will wipe away your sinful record and love you freely the moment you confess your sins. He will embrace you and begin a powerful work in you. But He wants you to take the initiative. He wants you to genuinely ask for His forgiveness. His hand is already outstretched and waiting. Will you take hold?
Prayer:-
þ Pray that we would all seek the Lord’s forgiveness quickly after we fall into sin. Pray that the grace we receive from the Lord will be shared among us as we love each other with Jesus’ own love.
þ Pray that the unbelieving people in our world would see the love of Christ and be drawn to Him for salvation. Pray that God would use us to share that love with these people.
