Topic:
Requirements In The Promised Land
Text:
Deuteronomy 8:5 – 9
When you are making a trip to a
foreign country, you will want to know some of the dos and don’ts in that
country. This is to enable you conform to the standard expected of you when you
get there. In some cases you may want to know the thing you will have in your
luggage to avoid being embarrassed when you get there. Such requirements and
tips are essential in having not only a smooth trip and entry but also a
perfect stay in that country.
The requirements and tips on how to
stay in the Promised Land are here exposed by Moses. He charged them to keep
God’s commandments, walk in His ways and fear Him. This is pertinent because
the land they were inheriting is a land blessed by God specifically for them.
As Christians, we are looking forward
to a kingdom prepared for us. Jesus promised to go and prepare a place for us
and He will come back to take us (Jn. 14:2 – 3). Living in that kingdom has
some requirements. Some of them are; (1) you must be born again (Jn.3:3 – 6),
you must be holy (Heb. 12:14), etc. How are you preparing for that Kingdom? The
type of life you will live in that kingdom begins here on earth. If you are not
living according to the commandments of God now, living in heaven will be
difficult for you. Begin now to adapt to heavenly lifestyle.
