BE READY!-2

Text: Luke  12:40  

Therefore you also be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect."

Since the coming of the Son of man is going to be an hour when men do not expect, it is very certain that many shall be found unprepared. In order that you as His beloved son may not be found unprepared, Jesus had asked you to do three things. We shall be looking into these things  in detail one after the other. Take heed, watch and pray; for you do not know when the time is.(Mark 13:33).

1. **Take Heed* :* To take heed is to discern. It can also mean to be able to discern, or pay personal attention to yourself. In order not to miss the coming of the Son of man, you must daily engage in self-examination so as to discern your position in Christ Jesus. This will help you with a personal self examination.(2 Corinthians 13:5) rendered it:! Examine yourselves as to whether you are in the faith. Test yourselves. Do you not know yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you?—unless indeed you are disqualified.

2. *Watch* : To watch, is  to keep awake, to be attentive, and to be ready. This was clearly illustrated by the parable of the ten virgins in Matthew 25. Five of them were ready  and well prepared for the arrival of the Bridegroom. The other five could not watch to the end. God also wants you to always be ready in season and out of season. 

       3. *Pray* : Prayer is  the very key linking activity between heaven and the earth. Only those who are truly praying shall be able to get themselves ready.

 *PRAYER FOCUS* 

1.) Father, I receive the grace to take heed to myself, to watch and pray so that your coming will not meet me unprepared.

*Bible reading:*

 1 Thessalonian 5: 1-11.

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 ...

HIS VOICE- 2

Text : John 10:3. To him the porter opens; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calls his own sheep by name, and leads them out. We established yesterday that one thing you can't joke with as a true follower of Christ is *His Voice.* You must recognise and hearken to (obey) His voice. It is in doing this that your safety is assured.  Today, we want to see another responsibility of the Shepherd over His sheep.  To him the porter opens; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calls his own sheep by name, *and leads them out.* John 10:3.  He called you, that He might lead you. It is not enough for you to hear or recognise His Voice, you must allow Him to lead you as well.  Romans 8:14 says *For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.*   The Spirit leading you determines the family you belong to. Basically,  there are only two families in this world - the family of God, and the family of satan. In other words, we can say the Kingdom...
