Get Ready
The days are counting
down, many prophecies have or are coming to a close and we are now at
the point of getting our houses in order and preparing to meet the
Lord. As you know, there are plenty of scoffers in our midst as the
Bible declared there would be. However,
as we hear and witness such scoffers, we can attest to the fact that
prophecy is being fulfilled right before our very eyes.
II
Peter 3:3-4, “Knowing this first, that there shall come in the
last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, And saying, Where
is the promise of his coming? For since the fathers fell asleep, all
things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.”
When
we hear words of mockery, it is not a time to get angry, mad or
thrown off our mission. That is exactly what the enemy wants us to
do. Rather when we hear such doubt and negativity, inwardly we know
that our redeemer draweth near and it is time for us to get our house
in order.
When
we say, Get our house in order, it doesn't mean that we are to
rearrange our furniture or wash the windows and floors, cut the lawn
and trim the trees. It means to make sure that everyone in your
household is walking the path of Christ. By reading and meditating on
the scriptures; praying, repenting, forgiving and walking according
to the word. It means taking a look at the items in your home
and getting rid of those things that are not of God; such as, idols,
statues, pornography, liquor, drugs, etc., for all these things are
pleasing to the flesh, but contrary to the Spirit of God.
Many
of us see the signs all around us. Wars and rumors of wars,
earthquakes in diverse places, the love of many waxing cold, and
false prophets among us; but yet many continue to live as friends of
the world. And at this point in the age, as we are counting down, it
is time to make a choice. Who will you serve?
God
+ good = life or Enemy + evil = death
The
enemy has done a remarkable job of convincing many that he doesn't
exist. Mention the words, devil or Satan and many will have a deaf
ear, change the subject or simply laugh in your face. There was never
a time in history as it is now that the enemy is in full force around
the globe. But as we prepare for the second exodus and the return of
the Christ, we must me confident that we are ready emotionally,
spiritually, even physically.
As we
approach the day in which Noah entered the ark, there will only be
two types of people left on the land. Those who believed and lined
themselves up with the word of God and those who did not.
Matthew
24:38, “For as in the days that were before the flood they were
eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day
that Noe entered in the ark.”
The
return of the Lord is a magnificent time in history. It is not a day
of gloom and sadness (for those awaiting his return), but a day of
praise and adoration. A day when we will finally leave the oppressors
land and enter into the promised land. A day to behold the glory of
God and all his hosts and saints.
Let's
get ready, watchful and prayerful. For the day of the Lord is at
hand!
Mark
13:37, “And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch.”
