All goals should center to heaven....any goal that is not heavenward is not good

 The Commonwealth of Zion Assembly

ETERNITY IN VIEW

1 Samuel 30:18-19, 1 Kings 18:46

Pastor Folarin Ogunsola 

Philippians 3:14 - I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus

The word “press” is to give yourself to something, or dedicate yourself to achieving a mission. You must set goals for God, yourself and for others.

Phil 3: 12- All goals should center to heaven. Any goal that isn't heavenward is not good.

Phil 3: 13 - One way to be heavenward is to continuously pursue purpose. Jesus called us and sent us back to the world. 

Acts 9:6- God uses men these days to achieve his will on earth. Therefore, the first prayer for a Christian is the prayer of purpose.

Acts 9:12- Paul had a specific purpose to meet Ananias. God used Ananias to tell Paul his purpose. At this point he didn't have sight but he had vision. The greatest tragedy is having eyes but cannot see.

Romans 11:13 proves this purpose. He attended to the Gentiles and went onto the Kings and Jews. See Acts 21.

Some people’s destiny is attached to the destiny of others. There are some scales that are on people's eyes that unless you show up they won't fall.

Psalm 9:17 – Do not ever lose sight of God in the bid to pursue goals. If you can't see eternity in view, run away. Ecclesiastes 12:1. Do exploits, have impact but always have eternity in view. Ecclesiastes 11:9 (Msg), Matthew 16:26 (MSG)
