Banking on temporal

Hi all,
 
A colleague was sharing with me how his friend lost over £10,000 (about 10,000,000 CFA) when his bank closed down.
In the Cameroonian context, that is worth a lot of years in savings!
 
Around the same period, another acquaintance related the death (probably due to a heart attack) of a landlord
 whose property was destroyed by the town authorities in a bid to re-model the town.
 
Jesus said in Matthew 6:21 that where our treasure is, there our hearts will be also.
 
We can either choose to bank on the temporal (which has a life span) or
on the Eternal (true relationship with Christ and a promise of Eternity in heaven).
 
When life as we know it comes to an end. When the Creator calls you, how much you know/knew or have/had wouldn't matter.
Your popularity, achievements, arguments and connections won't help. Jesus said I am the WAY, the Truth and the Life.
 
Follow this way that leads to eternity. 
 
Don't treat the Earth as if this was your permanent abode!
 
Enjoy the rest of October and focus on Eternity...that is where you will be in the future.
 
Inno

hi, though this is an old post of yours i have no way to get a message to you except through this comment form. Thank you for dropping by my blog and leaving a message. I appreciate being in touch with people with whom Ernie was so happy to be during his last teaching course in Maui. I agree with you, we just cannot afford to bank on the temporal. It's a losing proposition. Blessings abundant on you today.
