Beloved, from the very inception,the saints of old that enjoyed the fullness of God’s earthly and eternal blessings were those that agreed with His words and doeth them. This also shall be your portion.
You shall enjoy the fullness of God’s earthly and eternal blessings in Jesus name. So follow their good examples.

Amos 3:3. Can two walk together, except they be agreed?

Exodus 15:26. And said, If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the Lord thy God, and wilt do that which is right in his sight, and wilt give ear to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I am the Lord that healeth thee.

Exodus 19:5-6. Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people: for all the earth is mine: And ye shall be unto me a kingdom of priests, and an holy nation. These are the words which thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel.

Deuteronomy 28:1. And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the Lord thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the Lord thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth:

Joshua 1:8 This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.

GREATEST IN HEAVEN – whosoever shall do and teach one of these least commandments, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. – Matthew 5:19

Beloved, those saints of old did not just do the word of God, they taught same to members of their immediate households and world of influence.

Deuteronomy 6:4-7. Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord: And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might. And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart: And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.

No wonder because of the knowledge of our Lord on all these, He taught His followers and that includes you to do same. See it.

Beloved, it is very painful to know the consequences of despising the least of God’s eternal words. Please be determined to avoid this. God’s grace shall be sufficient for you in Jesus name.

1 Samuel 15:23. For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected the word of the Lord, he hath also rejected thee from being king.

Hosea 4:6. My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.

Proverbs 1:24-30. Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded; But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my reproof: I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh; When your fear cometh as desolation, and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish cometh upon you. Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me: For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the Lord: They would none of my counsel: they despised all my reproof.

Zechariah 7:13. Therefore it is come to pass, that as he cried, and they would not hear; so they cried, and I would not hear, saith the Lord of hosts:

Matthew 7:26-27. And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.

GREATEST IN HEAVEN – whosoever shall do and teach one of these least commandments, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. – Matthew 5:19

While shameful and painful recompense were the lots of those who rejected God’s words, great rewards were the benefits of those that obeyed Him. This should be your lifestyle henceforth and you shall be abundantly rewarded , here and hereafter in Jesus name.

Exodus 15:26. And said, If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the Lord thy God, and wilt do that which is right in his sight, and wilt give ear to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I am the Lord that healeth thee.

Dearly beloved, one thing that our Lord Jesus Christ did, during His earthly ministry was to live exemplary lifestyle for His followers of all ages, that includes you must follow.

John 17:19. And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth.

Two outstanding things He did for believers of all ages and you in particular to emulate compulsorily are: doing and teaching the entirety of God’s eternal words.

Acts 1:1. The former treatise have I made, O Theophilus, of all that Jesus began both to do and teach,

This lifestyle becomes the pattern for all His followers and you are not excluded.
John 13:15. For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done to you.

1 Peter 2:21. For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps:

GREATEST IN HEAVEN – whosoever shall do and teach one of these least commandments, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. – Matthew 5:19

This was what informed this great admonition that has both eternal rewards or recompense . See it.

Matthew 5:19. Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

The Bible days believers were addicted to following this admonition and compel their hearers and that includes you, to do same.

1 Timothy 4:11-12. These things command and teach. Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity.

Jesus said His sheep, that includes you, hear His voice and follow Him.

John 10:27-28. My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.

See His voice, which constitute His expectations from all His followers and you in particular.

Matthew 4:4. But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.

Matthew 28:20. Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.

GREATEST IN HEAVEN – whosoever shall do and teach one of these least commandments, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. – Matthew 5:19

But then you wonder, I am not a pastor., that is not true. You are the pastor for your immediate family and all in your world of influence,. Your spouse, children, parents, in laws, close and extended family members, colleagues and neighbours.

Deuteronomy 6:4-7. Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord: And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might. And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart: And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.

1 Timothy 4:12. Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity.

GREATEST IN HEAVEN – whosoever shall do and teach one of these least commandments, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. – Matthew 5:19

See how Bible days believers did it and you must follow their example, because, you also is a believer, like them.

Acts 5:42. And daily in the temple, and in every house, they ceased not to teach and preach Jesus Christ.

Acts 20:26-28. Wherefore I take you to record this day, that I am pure from the blood of all men. For I have not shunned to declare unto you all the counsel of God. Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood.

Acts 28:30-31. And Paul dwelt two whole years in his own hired house, and received all that came in unto him, Preaching the kingdom of God, and teaching those things which concern the Lord Jesus Christ, with all confidence, no man forbidding him.

1 Thessalonians 2:10-12. Ye are witnesses, and God also, how holily and justly and unblameably we behaved ourselves among you that believe: As ye know how we exhorted and comforted and charged every one of you, as a father doth his children, That ye would walk worthy of God, who hath called you unto his kingdom and glory.

1 Timothy 4:16. Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee.

Jude 1:3. Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.

GREATEST IN HEAVEN – whosoever shall do and teach one of these least commandments, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. – Matthew 5:19

Dearly beloved, please always remember this very very important injunction. Anyone and everyone, who does not believe any part of the word of God and so fail to teach those in their

world of influence, same.
That singular action has shut that individual and his or her entire members of world of influence out of God’s Kingdom for ever and also hinder them from partaking in the dawning rapture.
This also applies to ministers and their entire congregations. When the minister fails to teach any part of God’s words. It affects Him or her and the entire members of such a church or ministry.

Revelation 22:18-19. For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.

Revelation 20:15. And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

But then, when anyone and everyone does and teach the words of God as commanded by Jesus, there are great rewards.

Matthew 5:19. Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven

Revelation 22:12. And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.

Genesis 22:15-18. And the angel of the Lord called unto Abraham out of heaven the second time, And said, By myself have I sworn, saith the Lord, for because thou hast done this thing, and hast not withheld thy son, thine only son: That in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which is upon the sea shore; and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies; And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; because thou hast obeyed my voice.

Genesis 26:5. Because that Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws.

1 Peter 5:1-4. The elders which are among you I exhort, who am also an elder, and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and also a partaker of the glory that shall be revealed: Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight thereof, not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind; Neither as being lords over God’s heritage, but being examples to the flock. And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away.

2 Timothy 4:7-8. I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: 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.

GREATEST IN HEAVEN – whosoever shall do and teach one of these least commandments, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. – Matthew 5:19

JESUS’S PROMISED EARTHLY AND ETERNAL REWARDS FOR BELIEVERS OF ALL AGES AND YOU IN PARTICULAR, WHO DO AND TEACH THE ENTIRETY OF GOD’S WORDS.

Friend, glory to God you are sincerely preparing for the dawning rapture. It shall not elude you in Jesus name.
The good Lord shall help you and grant your earnest expectation in Jesus name. But then, you know that whatever is worth doing at all, is worth doing well. Since this is your earnest desire, you must back it up with commensurate actions.
One singular requisite for rapturable saints of God that shall include you in the mighty name of Jesus, is doing the entirety of God’s unchanging, infallible and eternal words. Remember His words are unchanging.

Psalms 119:89. For ever, O Lord, thy word is settled in heaven.

Matthew 5:18. For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.

Isaiah 40:8: The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand for ever.
1 Peter 1:25: But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you.

GREATEST IN HEAVEN – whosoever shall do and teach one of these least commandments, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. – Matthew 5:19

Remember also, it takes doing them to partake in the rapture and avoid great tribulations. You shall surely avoid great tribulations in Jesus name. Severally the scriptures emphasise the importance of doing God’s eternal and unchanging words. See them.

Revelation 3:10-11. Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth. Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.

Matthew 7:21. Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.

Matthew 7:24-25. Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.

Matthew 12:50. For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.

John 13:17: If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do them.

Romans 2:13. (For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified.

1 John 2:15-17. Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.

Revelation 22:14: Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.

Friend, one word broken or disobeyed disqualifies anyone and everyone from having part in this coming great event or even eternity with God. So heed this all important admonition of our Lord. God’s grace shall avail for you in Jesus name.

1 Samuel 15:23. For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected the word of the Lord, he hath also rejected thee from being king

Matthew 5:19. Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
