Each Christian is on a journey, and the destination is heaven, where Jesus has ascended to His Father’s right hand. While we wait for the Lord’s call to heaven, we are all on a journey, and there are four features we need for this journey. In this address, you will hear of these four features. Firstly, the need to have an altar—a daily communication with God himself through prayer. Secondly, the importance of finding food to sustain you along our journey. Thirdly, when difficulties come, we are not to be diverted from the divine highway. The fourth feature is to keep our eye on the heavenly goal.
Bible Scriptures: Darby Translation
Genesis 12:5-8 “5 And Abram took Sarai his wife, and Lot his brother’s son, and all their possessions that they had acquired, and the souls that they had obtained in Haran, and they went out to go into the land of Canaan; and into the land of Canaan they came.6 And Abram passed through the land to the place of Shechem, to the oak of Moreh. And the Canaanite was then in the land.7 And Jehovah appeared to Abram, and said, Unto thy seed will I give this land. And there he built an altar to Jehovah who had appeared to him.8 And he removed thence towards the mountain on the east of Bethel, and pitched his tent, [having] Bethel toward the west, and Ai toward the east; and there he built an altar to Jehovah, and called on the name of Jehovah.”
Genesis 12:3-4 “3 And he went on his journeys from the south as far as Bethel; as far as the place where his tent had been at the beginning, between Bethel and Ai;4 to the place of the altar that he had made there at the first. And there Abram called on the name of Jehovah.”
Exodus 16:13-15 “13 And it came to pass in the evening, that quails came up, and covered the camp; and in the morning the dew lay round the camp.14 And when the dew that lay [round it] was gone up, behold, on the face of the wilderness there was [something] fine, granular, fine as hoar-frost, on the ground.15 And the children of Israel saw [it], and said one to another, What is it? for they did not know what it was. And Moses said to them, This is the bread which Jehovah has given you to eat.”
Psalm 84:5-7 “5 Blessed is the man whose strength is in thee,—they, in whose heart are the highways.6 Passing through the valley of Baca, they make it a well-spring; yea, the early rain covereth it with blessings.7 They go from strength to strength: [each one] will appear before God in Zion.”
Philippians 3:13 “13 Brethren, *I* do not count to have got possession myself; but one thing—forgetting the things behind, and stretching out to the things before,14 I pursue, [looking] towards [the] goal, for the prize of the calling on high of God in Christ Jesus.”
