‘FREE ADMISSION’ AND ‘SCHOLARSHIP’ A GUARANTY FOR A UNIVERSITY DEGREE?

‘Free Admission’ And ‘Scholarship’: A Guaranty For A University Degree?. 

Getting a FREE ADMISSION and SCHOLARSHIP into a prestigious university does not automatically translate to a university degree. Or does it mean an automatic degree? No! Certainly not!

Though, the admission and tuition of the university are free, a student, must still labour to qualify for a degree at the end of his years of study at the university. He must do the following things judiciously.

-1.  He must complete his years of study –whether four, five or six years, depending on his own course of study, at the university. There is no double promotion.

-2. He must attend classes.

-3. He must do assignments.

-4. He must write tests.

-5. He must sit for examinations.

-6. He must submit a project.

-7. He must get the minimum pass mark in all the subjects.

-8. He must obey the rules and regulations of the university and conduct himself in a way not to make the university authority to expel him and terminate his admission.

-9. Having satisfied all these, then he gets a degree from the university. It may be a single honour or double honours.

In addition to getting a free admission and free tuition to the university, these are what will qualify him for a degree at the university.                                           

‘AN ALL-EXPENSE-PAID TICKET’ TO TRAVEL ON THE NARROW ROAD.

In this same manner that a student does not automatically get a degree because he was given a free admission and scholarship into a prestigious university until he successfully completes his years of study at the university, a sinner that repents and confesses Jesus Christ, as his Lord and Savior does not automatically make heaven until he successfully completes his journey, at death or at rapture, on the narrow road.

The narrow road is equivalent to the university. The sinner is equivalent to the student. The confession and repentance of a sinner through the blood of Jesus Christ is an ‘all-expense-paid free ticket’ to travel on the narrow just as the free admission and scholarship qualifies the student to study at the university. The heavenly reward at the end of the journey on the narrow road is equivalent to the degree a student earns after his years at the university.

Like the students have conditions to fulfill before finally getting a degree, a repented sinner also has conditions to fulfill to qualify Him to make heaven and earn a reward at the end of his journey on the narrow road. He must do the following.

-1.  He must complete his journey on the narrow road. There is no short cut, no diversion, no turning back on the narrow road. The duration of his completion of this journey is the length of time between His repentance and death or rapture.

-2. He must DO the will of God, The Father, between these times.

-3. He must LIVE a holy life.

-4. He must obey and follow the HOLY SPIRIT.

-5. He must NOT look back on the road (no backsliding).

-6. He must AVOID worldliness.

-7. He must WASH in the blood of Jesus at all time.

-8. He must CONDUCT himself in ways that bring GLORY to GOD at all times.

-9. He MUST watch and pray not to be distracted on the narrow road.

-10. He must help others to connect to the road.

Having satisfied all these, then he gets a reward in heaven. It may be a crown of life, crown of righteousness, a white stone, hidden manna, water of life, heavenly mansion and many more.

Mathew 24:13                                                                                                                      13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.

Philippians 3:14                                                                                                       14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

Hebrew 12:1 1                                                                                          11Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,

Revelation 1:26                                                                                                 26 And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations:

Stay on the narrow road. Stay focused. Keep the safety rules of the narrow road. Soon, you will see the Bridegroom.

Jesus is coming. Stay ready in repentance, righteousness and holiness.
