The Psychology Behind Your Destination

Happy New Week everyone,

People think of where they would go after their stay here on earth, either heaven or hell. This is a concern to some who think about it, but the truth about it is that thinking about being careful not to go to hell and thinking about going to heaven are two different things, even though it may appear as though they mean the same thing, just that one is written in a different form. But no, they are both different and thinking about the two can make the thinker stagnant in his spiritual growth. There is a psychology behind it, and I’ll explain why, as you read on.

When you leave your house to your office, you either think of how far away you are from your house or how close you are to your office. Thinking about the two won’t mean the same thing, just as we understand that looking at a glass of water half full and half empty doesn’t mean the same thing. Likewise, thinking about being careful in your way of life about not going to hell and thinking about going to heaven through your way of life are two different things, it’s just what I call the psychology behind your destination.

A man who lived in a dump all his life who didn’t know he was a prince and heir to the throne, who was then told he was the next king and had to be cleaned and trained, by bringing him up to speed to who he really was would either think of his former life living in the dump or think of what his new life and responsibility would be as a king, he can’t think both at once. The thing is that if he keeps on thinking of his life back in the dump, he won’t be able to rule properly as a king because his focus is on what he left and where he doesn’t want to go back to. On the other hand, if he leaves his past behind and the fear of going back there and focuses on where he would be and become, he would become a king and perform to expectation if not beyond expectation. This is how your life should be when heaven and hell come to your mind.

Only focus on heaven (unless you want to go to the other side), and not hell, even if you are doing everything not to go there. One thing you must understand is that the more you focus on heaven, the more you won’t miss it no matter what, but if you think about where you aren’t going, which is hell, simple things could distract you from going to heaven and would pull you towards hell, because their paths are different, because you would be stagnant and you won’t grow spiritually, and you’ll become a prey of the evil one because you are not growing. All these because you focused on two things at the same time, even though you wanted to go a particular route. It’s just the psychology behind your destination, and you can only focus on one thing at a time and not both.

May the LORD bless you and keep you, make His face shine upon you. May the LORD be gracious to you and lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace. AMEN.

                    

Why not accept Jesus today if you haven’t. Pray out loud, “Jesus, I confess that You are my Lord and Saviour. I believe in my heart that God raised You from the dead. By faith in Your Word, I receive salvation now. Thank You for saving me!” Congratulations, you’re born again, you are now brand new!
