When You See All These Things

Text: *Matthew 24:33*

*So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors.*

One major truth you must sleep and wake with is that the coming of the Lord is nearer than ever before. The book of Mathew(chapter 24) is very explicit and detailed about the series of events and signs that will be preceeding Jesus's second coming and end of this world.

If you read through the book(Matt 24), you will realise that all of the signs predicted by our Lord are being fulfilled right in our days. They are also being fulffiled in a progressive manner. If you are Christ follower, you must sit up and if you are yet to be one, you must make up your mind now. Tommorrow is always not yours, so make up your mind today. *While it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation.(Heb. 3:15).*

Our Lord Jesus Christ gave His disciples one major key which we also must keep as disciples. He told them: "When you shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors" Mathew 24:33. *Hey! Wake up! We are in the last times, and not just last days.*

There are deceptions everywhere, many have risen and many are still rising in Christ's name. False prophets are everywhere deceiving people and many are being deceived. Wars and rumours of wars are being heard almost everyday. No peace anywhere. Earthquakes, pestilence,and famine are familiar terms with humanity today. Followers of our Lord Jesus Christ are being persecuted and killed for the sake of the gospel. Iniquity is on the increase, hence, love of many are waxing cold day by day.

All these signs and more are daily being fulfilled. Jesus therefore warned his followers to watch and pray.

*Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is.* Mark 13:3.

One of the greatest deceits the church can be involved in today is, to be thinking that the world will one day become a better place. No, this is not our message. *The church is supposed to be getting people ready for Christ taking over the kingdom of this world, instead of its betterment. We were promised a new earth and not a better world.*

*" ....The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever"* Revelation 11:15 .

BIBLE READING: Mathew 24:1-35.

*PRAYER FOCUS*

1. Father, help me to be watchful unto the day of your second coming.

2. LORD, Give me the grace to daily follow you even in the midst of difficulties and distractions.

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...
