WAKE UP

Text : Romans 13:11

And do this, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep; for now our salvation is nearer than when we first believed.

God is calling out to you this day to wake up from your sleep. The singular reason for which we must awake out of sleep is because our salvation is nearer than when we first believed. This salvation talks about our ultimate and final joining with the LORD forever.

Are you getting ready for this flight? 

There are too many preachers that are holding people down in deep sleep here on earth by the kind of messages they are preaching, and that is the reason we need revival now.

This is not a message only for unbelievers out there but for every believer in Christ Jesus, and for those that are deep in the sleep of sin and unrighteousness.

Jesus is coming back, wether while you are alive or when you are no more on earth, you will surely see him. When he appears all saints that have slept (died) in him shall be raised, but those that died in their sins shall see him on the judgement day unto eternal perdition. (1Thess.4:16, Rev. 20-12-13).

So, salvation does not just begin and end with confession of Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour, it's mostly about your total deliverance from the penalty, power and presence of sin, Satan and death.

The reason the old saints were stronger in faith than us, is because they were eager to receive Jesus back on earth and for them to reunite with Him forever. But the desire and anticipation of today's believers are centered on mundane things. 

For instance, if you look back in the last one year and review all what you've been hearing from the pulpit, can you remember when last the pulpit reminded you about the need to prepare yourself towards the LORD's second coming? Well, you are herein being reminded that Jesus is coming back soon, awake from your sleep and get ready.

Jesus' second coming is not a mirage, but an experience that you must prepare for.

In the last day, all will certainly see Jesus;  sinner or saints, righteous or unrighteous, you will surely see Him, but the question is, what would He say to you when you see Him on that day?* 

 Bible reading:

 Romans 13:11-14.

 *PRAYER FOCUS*

Father Lord, help me to awake out of my sleep unto righteousness in Jesus name.

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...
