Most of us eat every day, some of us too much, because yesterday's
food is not enough to supply energy for today's needs. Why then, do
some of us expect yesterday's portion of heavenly manna, the word of God to
keep us through today's challenges. On this program, we are going to change
all of that. Let's experience God's words today and receive the power we need
to live healthy, vibrant lives. Welcome to your Daily Portion with your host,
author speaker, Elle David Harris. Good morning, good morning, good
morning. It's already Thursday. It's June. It's the twenty seventh day of
twenty twenty four, and I'm thankful. Hello. My name is El David
Harris. I am your host, and this is your Daily Portion where we
give you God's word every single day, and today is no exception. We
are continuing the with one of two of the last days for this series of
studies, the Great Controversy, and our option for today is two Eternities,
Two Eternities. We'll get into that in just a moment, but first I'd
like to say welcome to you and ask you to please go over to your
Daily Portion dot com. Please join our online community. That community is growing
by leaps and bounds. We had to start all over again. Some of
you would have heard that because the first community that we had, the system
was taken like take it away, and it's like what really, So we're
rebuilding and I'm grateful. We're over seven hundred strong, and that just simply
means that there are seven hundred people plus who are willing to share and spread
the Gospel of the Kingdom into all the world for a witness so that the
end will come. And that's not to mention the hundreds of thousands of you
who are listening and watching every single day. Let's get everybody into that community
space. We have plenty good room and we can have lively discussion beyond me
just talking to you for these few minutes. Okay, so join us at
your daily portion dot com. Let's go ahead and pray, and then we
will get underwig bothering Heaven. Thank you for giving us this new day and
for the privilege that you have entrusted to us. Please teach us to experience
and accept the blessing of the eternity that matters most in Jesus name, I
pray, Amen and Amen again. All right? So let me just ask
you a question. Which eternity are you choosing? Which eternity are you choosing?
Now, there are some very technical minded people. I'm very technical minded,
more than most I will admit, who are like, Okay, where's
the preacher going, because it's like, you know, be careful, be
careful, preacher. All right, So here's eternity number one. It's eternity
with God. That's number one. Eternity with God. Are you choosing eternity
with God? That means that you are choosing to accept and to love love?
Are you choosing today? Like I said in the Bible, choose you
this day whom ye will serve? But as for me in my house and
my house, we will serve the Lord? Or how long halts ye between
two opinions? If God be God, then serve him. That's eternity number
one. But if the devil, bayol asherih every other thing that stands up
against Christ, if it's that, then yeah, go ahead and choose that.
But reality is just like our brother would have said. Our late brother
would have said, as for me and my house, we gonna serve the
Lord. As our late brother would have said, Elijah, who is now
living through eternity beginning way back when he chose to serve the Lord. Okay,
and then there's the other eternity that is eternal separation from God. Are
you saying, preacher, that there are people who will go on and on
and on in eternity that don't love God. No, I'm not saying that
the eternal punishment for those who choose to hate love, to reject God ultimately
and not turn back and say God, I apologize, Please, will you
forgive me? I choose to serve you. Now, those individuals will have
chosen the eternal consequence, which is separation from God, and they will not
live again. Throughout the ceaseless ages of eternity, those individuals will never live
again. Okay. Now that we've made that clear, let's go ahead and
begin or continue our discussion by reading from the Great Controversy Book, pages six
hundred sixty six and six hundred sixty eight, where it reads and I quote
the whole wicked world. Now we have a context, a qualifier. The
whole wicked world stand arraigned at the bar of God. Remember, Remember we
said yesterday that God's people will have received the promise that we will be seated
on thrones, and during the thousand years in heaven, we will be looking
over the record, the faithful record of God, concerning those who chose not
to make it in. Yes, so these are the people we're talking about.
The whole wicked world stand arraigned at the bar of God on the charge
of high treason against the government of heaven. They have none to plead their
cause. Remember, Jesus is the only mediator between God and humanity. Yes,
and during the time that he was doing this, there were people who
said, no, I don't want to be represented by you. They wanted
to be pro say, litigants, y'all, look that up. They wanted
to be in law. They wanted to represent themselves. They wanted to have
their own righteousness, which is as filthy rags. They wanted that instead of
Jesus. And so now that's what they have. They have no one to
plead their cause. They are without excuse, and the sentence of eternal death,
that is the eternity, the sentence of eternal death, is pronounced against
them. This is a sad day, brothers and sisters. If you are
choosing that, if you choose the eternal death penalty, there is no reason
for you to do that. And I can hear Jesus crying over his city,
Jerusalem, his people, Jerusalem, Jerusalem, Thou that kill ust the
prophets. How oft would I have gathered you together as a hen gathereth her
chicks, and you would not. Now your house is left unto you desolate.
Then I hear in another place, and I think the Bible writer is
Ezekiel, and Jesus says, he says, I have no pleasure. I
take no pleasure in the death of the person that dies. Therefore, turn
yourselves and live. Why would you die when God is extending life to all
of us? Why would you choose to separate yourselves from God? When Jesus
came down to planet Earth for thirty three and a half years, clothing his
divinity in humanity so that he could have us together, so he could have
a relationship with us and we with him, Why would you choose separation from
God when He's done everything so that we can be together forever with no more
pain, no more sickness, no more grief, no more sin, no
more war. Can you imagine no more conflicts, only holiness and peace throughout
the ceaseless ages of eternity, where there is nothing that we would aspire to
do that we cannot attain. Oh, my God, like, why would
people choose that route? And I have to ask myself every single day,
which way you're gonna go? Dave, which way are you going to go?
And as for me and my house brothers and sisters, we are going
to serve the Lord. And so a few things I would like to share
with you as we come to a swift close. We just have a couple
of more minutes. From Second Corinthians, chapter five and verse ten, the
Bible reads, for we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ.
Well, that's a blessing because those who are in Christ are saved. Those
who are in Christ are clothed in His righteousness. And therefore we have no
fear, because perfect love casts out fear. Okay, that everyone may receive
the things done in his body according to that which he hath done, whether
it be good or bad. And so we're accountable for our actions. And
guess what our action today can be to repent, Like we can repent and
choose to serve God, all of us will be accountable. And so in
Romans chapter fourteen and verse eleven the Bible reads, For it is written,
as I live, set the Lord, every need shall bow, every tongue
shall confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father.
Can I just say it here like this? Why don't we go ahead and
begin practicing now? Why don't we go ahead and serve God. Why don't
we go ahead and bow the knee to God? Now? Why don't we
let him be the king of our lives today? So that when this happens,
when every knee will bow and every tongue confesses, it will be in
good practice. We will love that reality, and it won't be now compelled
as we await our eternal death penalty fate. Okay, And so God has
given us mercy, He has given us holiness. He has given us every
blessed gift in order to save us. Why don't we just choose the eternity
with God option? It's the only one that makes sense. Make it a
great day, peace. Thanks for joining us listening. Friends. Always remember
we cannot live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the
mouth of God. This has been your daily portion with el David Harris.
Make it a great day. Yeah,
