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...

WAY MAKER-2

Text: Isaiah 43:19 Behold, I will do a new thing: now it shall spring forth: shall ye not know it?  I will even make a way in the wilderness,  and rivers in the desert. God promised that He will do a new thing for you, and that He will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. He has done this before, and He will do it again even in your own life.  When the children of Israel left Egypt, the Egyptians pursued after them, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, and overtook them, encamping by the sea, beside Pihahiroth, before Baalzephon.(Exodus 14:9). Just like anyone would react, the Isrealites became so fearful because there is neither way forward nor back for them to escape. Before them was the red sea, behind them were the Egyptian armies. They became perplexed and began to murmur against Moses. It is possible you are also in a situation like the Israelites- No way forward, and no way behind. Things may appear like you are ...

BEWARE OF DOGS

Text :  Philippians 3:2. Beware of the dogs! Beware of the evil workers! Beware of the mutilators! Usually, when you see the inscription "BEWARE OF DOGS", you instantly know there's a wild or trained dog around the corner, hence, the need to beware.  However, when God says 'Beware of dogs,' He wasn't actually referring to dogs as in 'animals' but to animals in human skin. Note that this caution was given to believers against other so-called  believers.  That is, some people within the church that we refer to as brothers and sisters are actually operating in the capacity of dogs.Though fellow worshippers in the church are called brothers and sisters, but if they behave like wild animals, know that they are dogs in humans skin- BEWARE. Matthew  7:6 says *Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.*  Essentially, dogs don't have capacity to r...
