KEEP YOUR WATCH

Text. : Mark 13:35.

 *_You, too, must keep watch! For you don’t know when the master of the household will return—in the evening, at midnight, before dawn, or at daybreak_ .* 

The coming of Jesus is imminent and so we must watch how we conduct ourselves in this present adulterous and perversed generation. Jesus emphatically told His disciples in  Mark 13:32 that He himself is not privy to the time this age will be closing. 

Hence, he urged His disciples to do 3 things: *Take heed* ,  *Watch* and *Pray.*  This means that Jesus would have all His followers prepared and watch out for His sudden re-appearance. He will first appear to gather His Saints to Himself in the air.  This is rapture. 1Thess 4:15-17. Rapture can take place at anytime from now, as It is also part of the signs of end time. Rapture shall precede Jesus' second coming.  When Jesus appear the second time, All eyes shall see Him just as they saw Him in flesh when He came to Israel the first time.  The whole world will behold the son of God.  Mathew 24:30

The first century believers kept Jesus' command to letters.  They prepared themselves as bride waiting for her groom. They earnestly watched out for the second coming of Christ in their days. It's over 2000 years now and Jesus hasn't come yet.  Some call this slackness on the part of God,  but He calls it Long-suffering. 2Peter 3:9.

 *The evidence that you are truly watching and waiting for the arrival of Christ is shown by your pursuit and priority.* Don't be deceived, Jesus is only coming back for a glorious church, without spot and wrinkle. Ephesians Eph.5:27. 

Don't be carried away by the activities you are involved in for the Lord, rather, see to it that you grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.2 Peter 3:18. 

Receive with meekness all the convictions and nudges of the Holy Spirit in your heart, and make the necessary adjustments in your walk with God. Get ready always for the Lord's arrival.   

 *Don't allow the magnetic force of this world hold you downward, receive the Grace of God for daily ascension towards Him in your heart.*  


Maranathan Lord!!! 

 *PRAYER FOCUS* 

1. LORD HELP ME TO BE READY AND STAY READY FOR YOU ALWAYS.


 *Bible Reading:* 2 Peter 3:1-18.

THE GOOD FIGHT-2

Text:  1 Timothy  6:12   Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. Another thing to pursue in fighting the good fight of faith is Godliness. We understand through the Holy scriptures that godliness is profitable unto all things.   *For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.* 1 Timothy  4:8.  You will reap the reward of your godliness not only when you get to heaven, but from here on earth. And this is why we are admonished to exercise ourselves unto godliness. (1 Timothy  4:7), because godliness with contentment is great gain.1 Timothy  6:6. Godliness is the practice of conforming to the image of God by reflecting the nature of the kingdom of God in the course of everyday life. In other words, godliness is living and portray...

IT IS WRITTEN AGAIN

Text: Matthew 4:6. He told Jesus, “Since you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, because it is written,   ‘God will put his angels in charge of you,’ and,   ‘With their hands they will hold you up, so that you will never hit your foot against a rock.’ Jesus knocked devil off with "it is written" when he came to him with the first temptation. So, the devil too decided to use "it is written" for Jesus for the second temptation.  Don't be deceived, the devil knows the scriptures too. Second Corinthians 11:14 says,  "Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light." So, it's no surprise when you see Satan's messengers masquerading themselves as Apostle of Christ. 2 Corinthians 11:14.  The word of God is perfect. Yet, many people can twist it to their advantage and ultimately to their disadvantage. A drunk, smoker, fornicator, liar and all sort can justify their sinful lifestyles with a Bible verse. See to it that you do not twist the word of Go...

IN MY NAME.

Text : Mark 16:17-18  And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. Having believed in the gospel (Good news of the resurrection of Jesus and His victory over Sin, Satan and Death), you now need to start using the name of Jesus authoritatively. JESUS said that in His name you shall cast out devils; you shall speak with new tongues; you shall take up serpents; and if you drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt you; you shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. This means that you will undertake all these in the authority of Jesus' name. No matter how small or powerless you may think you are in your own eyes. Once you believe in His name, you shall do all that He promised.   Unbelief was the sin that Israelites committed that wasted a whol...
