A good conscience is the strong base to receive God's blessing (physical and spiritual blessing as well as the one for our household), and lift us up to the throne of heaven.
The sign that we are being lifted up to the throne of heaven is we prioritize God and our ministry more than anything, so God prioritizes us too. He lifts us up to become the firstborn who is rightful to receive the birthright and the right to inherit the kingdom of heaven. - On the mountain.
