REMAIN

Text : 1Thessalonians 4:17. 

Then we who are alive and remain will be caught up in the clouds together with them to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever.

*Everything will not end here, the big picture is-there's life after death,and the big question is-are you prepared for that life?* 

A number of people get preoccupied with their lives here on earth and pay no attention to the life after death.

The truth is, man is an eternal being, your life here on earth is just an infinitesimal fraction of your whole life. However, God expects you to use this little fraction of your life to choose where you will spend the rest of your life. After death, man will either end up in eternal condemnation or in eternal life.

The reality of this eternal dimension of man is seldomly preached in our churches today, yet the Bible is clear about this very important topic. 

Everything in this world has expiration dates, and this earth too has expiration date.(2 Peter 3:11-13). However, no one knows exactly when the end will be, but Jesus gave us signs to look out for as the end is drawing near.

Almost all the signs as given in the scripture has been fulfilled with the exception of very few. One of these very few signs remaining is the Rapture. 

Rapture is the sudden taking away of saints to meet with their Saviour in the clouds. (1 Corinthians 15:52) says, _In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed._ 

Once rapture takes place, then the end of this present age has come. Every believer who died in Christ will be raptured first and the saints who are alive will also be caught up with them.

There is a twist to this narrative,  just as it is clear that not all dead persons will be raptured but those who died in Christ, in the same way, not everyone who is alive at His appearing will be raptured with Christ, but those who are alive and who remained in Christ. (1 Corinthians 15:52-54, 1 Thess 4:16-18)

 *A believer's life begins in Christ, sustained in Him and must remain in Him until the very end.* 

If you are in Christ, you must remain in Him to the end.


 *PRAYER FOCUS* 

1. Father God,  please help me to always know that without you, I am nothing and help me to always remain in Christ.

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...
