In the Lord’s Prayer, Christians are taught to
pray; “Our
Father in heaven, Hallowed be Your name. Your
kingdom come. Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.” (Lk 11:2)
From the prayer instruction of Jesus, we are to
pray for God’s kingdom to manifest; that is the rule of God to operate in our
midst. Once that is realized, it implies that what is obtainable in heaven
should be in reality here with us right now.
The pursuit of the reality of heaven on earth had
almost been abandoned by the church today. Only a few individual believers are
taking this serious in their Christian devotion because they have realized that
the earthly pursuits
had become completely obsolete compared to the heavenly
glory!
The problem lies in the inability of many to
discover the way heaven looks like. Without the serious commitment to the Holy
Spirit’s infilling and orientation, heavenly visions and revelations are blurred!
And once there is vague idea of heaven, the
earthly views must dominate or rule over every aspect of people’s lives even if
they were church members.
But how can we make heaven a reality on earth
according to the prayer command of our Lord Jesus Christ? This is an assignment
meant for all believers to resolve. Waiting for your response!
