FOLLOW GOD TO MAKE IT TO HEAVEN

Regardless of this world’s challenges, with your desire not to miss the Kingdom of God, pray continually to FOLLOW Jesus (the Word of God) FULLY.The journey of life is a route that leads to the kingdom of God.
In the journey of life, depending on how all walk with God will determine who makes it to the kingdom of heaven, the kingdom of God.
What does it take not to miss the kingdom of God?
The word of God speaks to all about what it takes not to miss the kingdom of God, “…Assuredly, I say to you that it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. And again, I say to you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.” (Matthew 19:23-24)
Demands of the word not to miss the Kingdom of God is very challenging as disciples were stunned to question Jesus, “…Who then can be saved?” (Matthew 19:25) 
Are you a rich one that will find it hard to make to the kingdom of God?
Who is a rich one?
A rich one does not suffer a lack of need.
When comfort answers in the place of lack, it becomes the evidence of one as the rich.
One whose needs are being met and become rich is with the tendency to forget God, to take a position outside of route not to enter the kingdom of God.
The question, who then can be saved, by disciples of Jesus was answered by Jesus’ stating, “With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.” (Matthew 19:26)
Through the pages of the Bible, it is pointed out that the possibility with God will only come with prayer before God, not just by quoting the word of God for anyone to achieve one’s desire.
Are you praying with the expectation for the possibility of God over you or just quoting the possibility of God without praying? 
In the journey of life, the route that leads to the kingdom of God also demands from all (not only rich) to follow Jesus, when Jesus spoke to disciples about following Him in Matthew 19:28-30, “So Jesus said to them, “Assuredly I say to you, that in the regeneration, when the Son of Man sits on the throne of His glory, you who have followed Me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or lands, for My name’s sake, shall receive a hundredfold, and inherit eternal life.”
Regardless of who you are, by Jesus’ word, it is only one that FOLLOWS HIM FULLY that will make it to the kingdom of Heaven/the Kingdom of God.
With desire and continual prayer that will make it possible not to miss the Kingdom of God FOLLOW the Word of God (Jesus) in the journey of life, a route that leads to the kingdom of God.
WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO FOLLOW GOD?
Given self in submission to God’s word will follow God, will not miss the kingdom of God.
In the journey of life, there is no exception for rich or poor that does not follow God and make it to the kingdom of God.
In the journey of life, whatever a man is holding onto against God’s command will not follow God to make it to the kingdom of God. 
What are you holding on and not able to give yourself to God’s command?
In your life, whatever it is that holds you back from giving yourself to the word of God will keep you from following God to miss the kingdom of God. 
Are you with desires to make it to the kingdom of God, a life of eternity?
Live life by following God’s command. 
In your journey of life, what is it that is holding you back from following God?
Is it your property or family that is holding you from following God? 
Abraham is an example of a rich one that followed God’s command to sacrifice the life of his son in his journey of life. He followed God’s calling as he attempted to sacrifice his only son when God spoke to him. Genesis 22:12 records, “Do not lay your hand on the lad, or do anything to him; for now, I know that you fear God since you have not withheld your son, your only son, from Me.” Abraham fears God to follow God’s command. God testifies the fear of Abraham for His name as Abraham lived life to follow God.
From this month, pray continually that you will live life for God by following His command, to make the kingdom of heaven, the kingdom of God that is not a fiction.
