The Qualifications For God's Hall Of Fame

Your name may not appear down here in the world's Hall of Fame

In fact you may be so unknown that no one knows your name

The Oscars here may pass you by and neon lights of blue

But if you love and serve the Lord then I have news for you

The Hall of Fame is only good as long as time shall be

But keep in mind God's Hall of Fame is for eternity

To have your name inscribed up there is greater yes by far

Than all the Hall of Fames down here and every man made star

This crowd on earth they soon forget the heroes of the past

They cheer like mad until you fall and that's how long you last

But God He never does forget and in His Hall of Fame

By just believing in His Son inscribed you'll find your name

I tell you friend I wouldn't trade my name however small 

that's written there beyond the stars in that celestial hall

For every famous name on earth or glory that they share

I'd rather be an unknown here and have my name up there

Famous People That Chose To Be Members Of God's Hall Of Fame

1) Hudson Taylor

     Read The Story Below About Two Brothers

And How Hudson Taylor Is The Brother

Remembered Forever In God's Hall Of Fame

     There were two boys in the Taylor family. The older said he must make a name for his family and turned his face toward Parliament and fame. The younger decided to give his life to the service of Jesus and so turned his face toward China and missionary duty. 

     The younger brother named Hudson Taylor died a missionary in China beloved and known on every continent on this earth. But when I look in any encyclopedia to see what his older brother did, I find these words: The Brother Of Hudson Taylor. Remember only what we accomplish for our Lord Jesus on this earth will be remembered. Remember live for Jesus and win souls to the Lord. Only what is done for Jesus on this earth will be remembered. Be like Hudson Taylor and lift up our Lord Jesus and witness Jesus everywhere. Get saved, repent, decide to stop sinning, confess that Jesus is God, and believe the gospel that Jesus died on the cross for you, was buried, and rose again. 

A Story About The Incredible Faith Of Hudson Taylor

Setting The Sails

     When Hudson Taylor, the famous missionary first went to China, he was in a sailing vessel very close to the shore of islands inhabited by cannibals. While his ship was in calm waters, it was slowly drifting shoreward unable to go around the islands where the savages were eagerly anticipating a feast. 

     The captain came to Hudson Taylor and sought him to pray for the help of God. I will pray said Mr. Taylor provided you set your sails to catch the wind. The captain declined to make himself a laughing stock by unfurling in a dead calm. Taylor said I will not undertake to pray for the vessel unless you will prepare the sails. And it was done. 

     While praying, there was a knock at the door of Mr. Taylor's stateroom. Who is there said Mr. Taylor? The captains voice responded, Are you still praying for the wind? Yes. Well said the captain You'd better stop praying; for we have more wind than we can manage. 

2) General Charles G. Gordon

What Happened To Charles G. Gordon's Gold Medal Of Honor?

     General Charles G. Gordon was an outstanding man of God. When the English government wanted to reward him for his distinguished service in China, he declined all money and titles. Finally after much talk, he accepted a gold medal inscribed with his name and record of his accomplishments.  

     Following his death however the gold medal could not be found among his belongings. It was learned that on a certain date he had sent it to Manchester England during a famine with the request that it be melted and used to buy bread for the poor people, widows, and orphans. 

In his private diary for that day were written these words

The only thing I had in this world that I valued

I have now given to the Lord Jesus 

     Like Charles G. Gordon, use everything you own to bless the poor and bless our Lord Jesus. Let homeless people sit in your expensive car and bless them with clothes and any meal they choose at a blessed restaurant. Sell your worldly goods and use the money to bless widows, orphans, and needy people all around you. Then like Charles G. Gordon, you will become a member of God's Hall of Fame to be remembered forevermore. Jesus will reward you for all your kind deeds on this earth when you see Him at the bema judgment seat after saved saints are caught up to meet Him in the clouds in the air. 

3) Isaac Newton

How Isaac Newton Allowed Jesus To Help Him View Heaven?

     Said the great and devout scientist Sir Isaac Newton: I can take my telescope and look millions and millions of miles into space, but I can lay it aside and go into my room, shut the door, get down on my knees in earnest prayer and see more of heaven and get closer to God than I can by all the telescopes and material agencies on earth. 

4) Thomas Edison

Thomas Edison's Description Of Heaven

     When Thomas Edison was dying, he whispered to his physician, It is very beautiful over there. Edison was the world's greatest scientist. All his life he had worked with phenomena. He was of a factual cast of mind. He never reported anything as a fact until he saw it work. He would never have reported It is very beautiful over there unless having seen, he knew it to be true.

     I agree with Thomas Edison. There is a beautiful place called heaven prepared for all God's saints where the gates are made of pearls with a street of pure gold transparent glass in a city of pure gold clear glass. The city is 1500 miles wide, long, and high. When Brother Bob leaps for joy in that beautiful city, he will leap 1500 miles high. And there will be no more death, sorrow, crying, or pain. And Hallelujah no devil and no bad thoughts or bad memories. No more darkness and night; No more getting tired and going to sleep. Jesus will be the light forever in that city that shines like the light of seven days. And glory to God the precious gemstones in the foundation of the city will create a beautiful rainbow with an emerald rainbow around God's throne in the center of the city.

     Revelation 21:16 says And the city lieth foursquare, and the length is as large as the breadth; and he measured the city with the reed, twelve thousands furlongs. The length and the breadth and the height of it are equal. Now note that a furlong is 1/8 of a mile. Therefore the kingdom of God is 12000 divided by 8 or 1500 miles long, wide, and high. Brother Bob calculated this out and 1500 miles is like going from New York City to Denver, Colorado or like going from Montreal, Canada to Miami, Florida. Now get a picture and see by faith this kingdom of God 1500 miles long, wide, and high holding all the saints with their own mansions with even extra space available. Now also note that the kingdom of God is 1500 miles high so there could be 1500 levels or stories of people. Can you just think when you look up how many mansions could fill even 1 mile and wow 1500 miles high with different levels of mansions for all saints. 

     Ezekial 48:35 also describes the dimensions of the new Jerusalem city of God where christians will live forever. It was round about 18000 measures and name of the city from that day shall be The Lord is there (Jehovah Shammah). Note that 18000 measures is equal to 32000 miles. Therefore the circumference of the new Jerusalem round about is 32000 miles (this is much larger than the circumference of the earth). But the best blessing about the new Jerusalem is that the Lord Jesus (Jehovah Shammah) is there for eternity. Cornelius Lapide (a priest from the 1600s) said that the circumference of Zion was 18000 measures or 32000 miles round about. This would be the size of the new Jerusalem covering this whole earth holding saints from every nation from sea to sea. Therefore the new Jerusalem where christians live forever in peace is 1500 miles long, wide, and high (the distance from New York City to Denver Colorado or Montreal Canada to Miami Florida) surrounded by a circumference of 32000 miles larger than the circumference of this present earth.
