The main idea of this information is that in this world, we are all strangers and sojourners. We cannot determine true wealth or success based on worldly standards. Our true wealth and success can only be determined in eternity. The speaker emphasizes that believers should focus on striving for eternity rather than being consumed by the pursuit of worldly riches. In heaven, true richness and success will be revealed. The speaker urges believers to prioritize their eternal life and to accept Jesus as the only way to heaven. Ndiyo wa zi time, when they were blowing like wind. But today, they have become a stranger there. In the same word, they will soon be a stranger. Who are the strangers? Those who are not the owners of that house. Those who are not the citizens of that place. Those who came there just to sojourn. Those who still live there. They are the ones we refer to as strangers and sojourners. A man that just come for a time and that will go sometimes again. Like someone that just come to work. Like someone that just come to train. Like someone that just come just to build a man. And that will go home after everything. That is the same way the Bible call every man in this world. It's not because you came from the north and you came to south. That is not what we mean by being a stranger. Even in this world, you are a stranger. Listen to the central truth of the lesson. Just as a person cannot spend 200 years in an earthly market. So also we cannot identify the rich or the truly successful individual in the world. Let me explain this place to you. Central truth of the lesson is. In this world that we are strangers. In the world that we are sojourners. But that is not where we are going to know someone that is truly rich. We cannot know a true rich person in this world. We cannot know a successful person in this world. This matter has become an issue of eternity where no man will die. You may not understand that place. Let me explain it. It is not in this world that we are strangers. That we are sojourners. That we will know a true rich person. That we will know a true successful person. That the number of years we can spend in there. Or maybe we will just be 200 years. Unless you do that. That someone lived so long. He spent 200 years. And you know that is very scarce. But you cannot know that someone is successful in this world. Because those two were more successful in the past. And no more today. Many of them are existing as if they are dead. And we don't even hear about them again. We don't hear anything about them again. And yes they are still alive. Some are dead. Who are once millionaires. Who are once billionaires. But they have been forgotten. And we don't even remember them again. That you just referred to them so once. These lessons now say. It is not in this world. That we will know someone that is rich. That we will know that someone is successful in this world. And important personnel. Why? They are strangers. They live this world. They are sojourners. They will leave this world. They are going somewhere. That is eternity. These lessons say. That until eternity. We are no more will die. That these are both of us men. Since eternity. We are no more will be. And we no longer count years. We no longer count weeks. We no longer count days. And we no longer count hours. That we will know someone that is truly rich. Anyone that goes to eternity. Is not rich then. It will remain in its poor position forever. Anyone that goes to eternity. And does not occupy any position. It will be without position. Till eternity. I am talking to believers. Even not all the church goers. I am talking to those of you that believe because of your eternal life. Because this matter concerns you. You are the ones striving to make heaven. There are some people in the church. They are looking for victory. Now they are going to get a husband. It is their problem. How to give birth to children is their problem. How to do that is their problem. Some people are coming to church so that after death it will be buried. I am not talking about those who are. I am talking about those who truly believe. That you are testing of making heaven. And you are working on the path that leads to heaven. You are the ones that are truly concerned. All the rich in the world. Not long from now. You will no longer be rich. They will call you another name. They will add late to your name. They will call you late. After death. His wealth will die. His power will die. His position will die. His money will die. His riches will die. His certificates will die. Everything about him is dead. He is now going to eternity. He is going to a place where he will no longer die. He is going to a place where he will no longer go to any other place. He is going to the end of the journey of man. I am pleading with all believers. Please go down to this world. Guys, it is not the present rich people. They are not the ones that are rich. Jesus spoke about a rich man in the book of Luke. Where is he today? The Bible spoke about a rich woman. In the book of 2 Kings chapter 4. And she called her the Shunammite woman. Where is she today? Where is Solomon today? Where is Abraham today? Where is Isaac today? Where is Jacob today? Where is David today? Just to mention a few. There are many people we can mention in this book. There were ones in positions that they are no longer there. Brethren in their laws. The words we are using to lay the foundation of this passage. Is that we as strangers. I am also a stranger and stranger in the world. Either we like it or not. We are meant to live this world. And the lessons that money should not start. That the rich in the world. They should also strive for eternity. And the poor should not relent. All the rich people in the world. All the rich people in the faith. All the rich people in the church. Those of whom God has blessed. God has given you money. God has given you good positions. God has given you power. And God has given you belonging. Instead you should strive for your eternity. Because many of you. You are after the taste of this world. And you are going to buy more land. And you are going to do more outings to what you are striving for. And you are not going to sleep in two bedrooms. There was a house a man went to. Just a single house. He says the key to the room was 201. 201. How many rooms are in that house? It was just a person. It was a six story building. And it has almost occupied a little land. Not overseas. Just in this world we are in. It is in this Nigeria. In the south west too. I will not sleep more than a room. These people is not talking to the rich in the world. Strive for your eternity also. It is when you get to heaven that you will know. A successful person. It is when you get to heaven that you will know. It is someone that is rich. It is someone that is blessed. You are not in this world. The money you just spent on me. Yes they are a problem. It is in heaven. Because in heaven you will know the rich. There are some people that will remain poor in heaven. Listen to what David said. In the book of Psalms. Chapter 39. He goes to read verse 12. And will continue next week. He says. I will not sleep more than a room. It is in heaven that you will know. A successful person. It is someone that is rich. Listen to what David said. In the book of Psalms. Chapter 39. He goes to read verse 12. And will continue next week. It is someone that is rich. It is someone that is blessed. There are some people that are poor. It is someone that is a stranger. It is someone that is a father. It is someone that is a good father. It is someone that is a believer. It is someone that has given you the grace of God. Think about your heaven. You are not a true rich person. There are many rich people in heaven that will be poor in heaven. Many rich people in heaven will become richer in heaven. Because they are thinking about heaven. They are not thinking about their heaven. I am happy with you doing something that is good for me. But you are here to help Jesus as a Lord. It is the only visa for you to make heaven. If you want to accept heaven. But you don't have the visa which is given to you. You are all goodness to be used as a payment to all that. And I am here that will not be your portion. Jesus alone is the way. And I wish you can get to eternity of love. Of joy. Of peace. Lord I plead with you. Let this world sink into the inner ears of an evil. Let it be filled with the grace to bestow upon the world. In Jesus Christ name I love you. Amen.
