Additional Verses

📖 Malachi 3:14-18; Luke 16:19-31; Revelation 20:11-15

When a baby is born into the world, all its details are recorded in the records of its nation’s register of births. A birth certificate is issued to confirm the recognition of the baby as a citizen of that particular nation. The same details will be included in the statistics of births in that country and different files together with back-up files will be opened. For this child to be accepted anywhere in the world, its identity will be examined against the birth records. You cannot even get any other identification document or a passport without producing convincing proof of your birth details. In the same way, from the day you were born again of the Spirit of God, you became a child of God, a file was opened for you confirming that you had been registered as a citizen of the kingdom of God. As you grow in your Christian faith fulfilling God’s purpose for you, more files or books are opened in Heaven. Everything that you are doing to build up the kingdom of God is being recorded in Heaven. There are angels of God who are so busy everyday monitoring the sons of God and taking record of everything that they are doing. Revelation 20:12 John said, “And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before God and books were opened. And another book was opened, which is the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to their works, by the things which were written in the books.” There are four books that can be opened for any child of Good because Revelation 20:12 says “…books were opened….” There is a Book of Remembrance, Book of Tears, Book of Works and the Book of the Lamb, which is also referred to as the Book of Life. In the Book of Remembrance is where one has reverential fear of the Lord. Every good word you even whisper about God, and even the prayers you whisper, are recorded. Malach 3:16-17 says, “Then they that feared the Lord spoke often one to another; and the Lord hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the Lord, and that thought was upon his name. And they shall be mine, says the Lord of hosts, in that day when l make up my jewels; and l will spare them, as a man spares his own son that serves him.” When righteousness goes unnoticed or unrewarded here on earth, God keeps a permanent record of their love and service. Book of tears, God remembers your pain, notices and records every tear you shed about every hardship, sorrow and grief you experience. Psalm 56:8 says, “You keep track of all my sorrows. You have collected all my tears in your bottle. You have recorded each one in your book.” The Lord God will be there to comfort you as Revelation 21:4 says, “And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying.” Books of works contain the detailed records of every person’s deeds, actions, and works throughout their life, whether good or bad. Revelation 20:12 says, “And l saw the dead, small and great, stand before God, and the books were opened, and another book was opened, which is the book of life and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books according to their works.” The Book of Life or the Book of the Lamb contains the names of those who possess eternal life and salvation through Jesus Christ. People are evaluated based on the records of how they lived, while ultimate salvation or condemnation is tied to whether their name is written in the Book of Life. The Disciples came back with good news in Luke Chapter 10 from verse 17, saying that the devils were subject to them at the name of Jesus, but Jesus Christ said on verse 20, “Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven.” As a child of God therefore, it is your responsibility to ensure that your daily works are pleasing to the Father in heaven. Remember the story of the rich man and Lazarus in Luke 16 from verse 19. The rich man did not care to provide for Lazarus who was begging at his gate daily. In the end they both died and Lazarus was comforted by father Abraham while the rich man was tormented in hell. Your good works will speak for you before the Father in heaven on the day of judgment. Hebrews 13:1-2 says, “Keep on loving each other as brothers. Do not forget to entertain strangers, for by so doing some people have entertained angels without knowing it.” The Father gave you His Holy Spirit to function in you in order that your works will be according to God’s purpose for you. In order for the Holy Spirit to fully function in you, you must fully yield yourself, body, soul and spirit to the Word of God. Once you do this, all that you will ever do will make your name in heaven to flash in the presence of the Father and this will fill the LORD Jesus Christ with great joy, just as it was when the seventy Disciples brought a victorious report to Him in Luke 10:17-24. It is therefore your responsibility to maintain your heavenly records perfectly in good order by always being obedient to the Word of God and doing the what the Word says. Remember all the faithful departed Saints, their names were recorded in the Book of Life. Alleluia!

Prayer

Dear LORD Jesus Christ, thank You for letting me know about the heavenly files. I pray that as Your child, my name may not be removed from Your files. Help me to always be obedient to Your Word and do good to others so that my name will not be blotted out. In Jesus Christ’s name I pray, Amen.
