CELEBRITY vs PROSPERITY vs ETERNITY

There are 2 things that have taken over the hearts of men and women of this generation:
1. Fame (celebrity status)
2. Prosperity.
Now, these 2 are in themselves not bad; God can give you a name (He gave Jesus a name. Phi. 2:9), and He is interested in the prosperity of His children. But, many have allowed the quest for celebrity status and prosperity to blind their eyes to eternity. People (especially actors/actresses) can do the logically unthinkable just to become famous. People can do anything just to get money. But in the end, eternity will judge every man. "For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?" (Mark 8:36).
There is a place called eternity that does not know celebrity status. There is an eternity that will not open to prosperity. One thing that will count on that day is HOW YOU AND I LIVED OUR LIVES HERE ON EARTH. What will matter is HOLINESS.
Friends, the end is nearer than we think...by death or by rapture. Are you ready to meet God on the other side of this life, where there is no more grace or mercy? Unfortunately, some have gone unprepared and they are reaping in eternity what they sowed in their life time.
"For to him that is joined to all the living there is hope" (Eccl. 9:4). There is only hope when we are still alive. I encourage you, never go to sleep tonight without thinking about your life...and be true to yourself on whether you are ready to face judgment the way you are. Friend, I charge you to make peace with God before it will be too late. Escape Hell and embrace Heaven.
Maranatha.
