TEXTS: Hebrews 11: 8-16

INTRODUCTION
God wants us to know that we have the citizenship of Heaven. We must be careful not to lose our gaze on Him. He is interested in seeing us through to the very end.

IT IS POSSIBLE TO MISS THE WAY
The Christian pilgrimage begins on the day of salvation and ends at death. Below are some of the reasons some pilgrims will not make it to Heaven.

• Unbroken bridge (link with old life) Exeo. 16:3
• Unequal yoke – 2Cor. 6:14-18
• Discouragement – Heb. 10:39
• Unanswered prayer
• Cares of this life – LK.21:34;MK.4:18-19.
• Looking back – LK 9: 62; Gen. 19:26

HOW TO BE VICTORIOUS IN OU R PILGRIMAGE Here are some suggestions:

• Looking unto Jesus –Heb. 12:1-2, Jn. 14: 1-3
• Knowledge of the experience in the scriptures will work for you Rom. 8:32
• Get busy with winning souls – Rom. 12: 11; Dan. 12:3; Prov. 11:30
• Be prayerful – 1Thess. 5:17
• Heaven (the home) should be your goal –Heb 11:10

CONCLUSION
The more we allow Christ to lead us in our Christian pilgrimage the more victorious we are. The more we feel we do not need Christ the quicker we miss the way.
