Sunday Sermon, with Apostle Chisale
Greetings beloved nation in the name of Jesus Christ. In Heaven there are books that are kept for God’s people.

Some are books of judgement, some of eternal life, some of destiny and some of goodwill or of remembrance.

We discover that in the scriptures God keeps records of our lives. In other words He writes our lives in his books.

Jesus at one time said to his disciples, “do not rejoice that demons submit to you but rejoice that your names are written in the book of life”. John the revelator saw books in Heaven and we see that no one was worthy of opening these books except the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the root of David, who had prevailed to open the book according to Revelations 20:12, “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.”

We see in the book of Revelations 20, John saw the dead, small and great, standing before God and the Bible says the books were opened. So meaning in Heaven there are different kinds of books. We see another book that was open 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. One of the things that makes me afraid is that there is a record for each and every one who is in the world, whether you are young or old, rich or poor, born again or not born again. Every day there is a recording of what we do or say, both in public and in private because our lives are accountable before God.

When a person dies as long as you were born of a woman there is a book that was recorded the first day when you were born, that has the full details about your life. This book is called the book of life. When Jesus came to earth one of his assignments was for the people to register their lives in this book of life by accepting him as their personal saviour.

The Bible tells us in Revelations 20:15, I quote, “whosoever was not found in the book of life was cast into a lake of fire.” This is a serious book and a lot of people do not want to register themselves in this book. The Bible says God is not a respecter of persons.

There are also books that God opens in Heaven while we are on earth so that they will find expression in the life of a believer. These books are called the books of remembrance. When these books are opened they will be carrying rewards of what we have done that has been forgotten by people, good things. That’s why the Bible says in Galatians 6:9, “Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.”

We see that in due season there is a season that is coming to all the people of God who have been faithful to Him, while it might look like you will not be rewarded and that life has been unfair to you because of the good things you have done for others and for God. But I want to encourage you that there is a book of remembrance that God opens and begins to bring rewards while you are still on earth. When that book is opened no one has the power to close it.

It is a book that carries your reward. May this book be opened for you this season. The Bible tells us in the book of Esther about a man called Mordecai who saved the king from assassins.

He reported to the king the plan that these men were making to kill the king. Years went by and his good deed was forgotten. One day the king could not sleep, because God decided to reward Mordecai for the good deeds that he showed to the king. This is because Mordecai was a Jew and a child of God, and God caused the king not to sleep.

The Bible says he commanded that the book of records to be read before the king and it was found that Mordecai saved the king from assassins and his reward started to come from that night when the king opened the books of records. May your commitment, your submission, your good deeds that you have done for people at work, for family members or relatives, at church or in the community where you stay, may this book be opened and begin to release rewards for what you have done with all of your heart. We are living in a society or world where people are ungrateful and easily forget. You may be a man or woman of God or an intercessor and you feel like your efforts and your good deeds are not being recognised.

But let me tell you something, there is a book of remembrance that God is opening this season for you. Forget about people, He himself will cause men, by His divine wisdom, to favour you. Remember in these books every detail, the intents of your heart, is written. The Bible says God is the God of the heart. The Bible says in Psalms 40:7-8, “Then I said, “Behold, I come; in the scroll of the book it is written of me. I delight to do your will, O my God, and your law is within my heart.”

And in Psalms 139:16, “Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed. And in Your book they all were written, the days fashioned for me, when as yet there were none of them.” All these are books that are in Heaven concerning us. Even Jesus when he was on earth, God had to write a book concerning him. We see David quoting that in Psalms 40 and Jesus quoting himself in Luke 4:21. May you find your script being fulfilled concerning your life.

May that which God has written in your book be fulfilled in its fullness before you die. I would like to invite you to receive Jesus as your personal Lord and Saviour, by believing in your heart and confessing with your mouth that he is your Lord and Saviour, and you shall be saved. May God bless you all and this beautiful nation of Zimbabwe.

Amen.
