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...

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...
