JESUS IS COMING BACK


 
Text : 2 Peter 3:10 
But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.

The first century Christians were eagerly waiting for the second coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. They waited till they all slept (died). They believed strongly that Jesus Christ would be coming back shortly after His departure. 

I believe they lived every day of their lives with great expectation for the coming of the Lord. No wonder they lived such a holy lives. 

Today, the case is different, you will hardly hear about the second coming of Christ in the church all through the year. Many  churches emphasise more on tithes and offerings than the second coming of Christ.

When you read the Epistles (letters written by the Apostles to the churches in the new testament), you will discover how much attention they gave to the building up of Christians' life and second coming of Christ.
 
 *There are many preachers today, but very few messengers.* One cannot be a messenger of our Lord Jesus Christ without being a true preacher, but it is possible to be a preacher without being a messenger of Christ.

Jesus wants you to tell the people in the world and the folks in the church constantly about His coming back.

When your mind is set on the second coming of Christ, you will realise that Satan, Sin and this world will not be able to hold you down anymore. It is important for you to keep yourself in remembrance of Christ"s second coming. This mindset will always keep you pure.

1 John 3:2 says, Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.  Verse three says, And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.

You must daily wait and keep your watch for the coming of the groom because He will be coming when you  least expected.

To you as a believer, Christ should not come like a thief in the night. This is because you are not people of the night but of the day. Therefore, you are not expected to be sleeping and slumbering in the day time.

 *Get ready, Jesus Christ is coming Back.* 

 *Bible reading:*

 1 Thessalonians 5:1-10.

 *PRAYER FOCUS* 

1.) Father Lord, please help me to daily set my watch for your second coming.

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...
