RHAPSODY OF REALITIES SATURDAY 24TH OCTOBER
HAVE THE RAPTURE IN FOCUS BY PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME.
And now, little children, abide in him; that, when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming (1 John 2:28).
The rapture of the Church is closer than ever. Weβre in the closing moments or final βtimes of the signsβ before the Lordβs appearing. Itβs important that youβre ready for Him. 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 says the dead βin Christβ shall rise first, and those who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them to meet the Lord in the air.
The question is: are you in Christ? If you are, then youβre one of the many the Lord is coming to receive unto Himself. If, however, youβre not, you have to give your heart to Christ right away, by confessing His Lordship over your life. The Bible says, β…Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvationβ (Hebrews 9:28).
Acts 1:9-11 tells us about His ascension into heaven. While the disciples stood, gazing in awe as He levitated, two angels appeared to them and said, βThis same Jesus, who has been received from you into heaven, will come back in the same way you have seen him go into heavenβ (Acts 1:11). This is the reason weβre preaching the Gospel around the world. The whole world needs to know that the rapture of the Church is imminent; the Master is coming soon.
He said in John 14:3, ββ¦I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.β The Apostle Peter, referring to the day of the Lord and the events thatβll herald His coming, said, βBut the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godlinessβ (2 Peter 3:10-11).
Have the rapture in focus. Live every day as one expecting the Master; carry that consciousness in your heart at all times. Walk in love. Walk in righteousness. And while youβre getting yourself ready, help those around you to get ready as well by preaching and teaching them Godβs Word.
PRAYER
Iβm awake and alert in the spirit, fervent in good works, being propelled by the Masterβs love, His Word, and my expectation of His soon return. Iβm fully convinced that the Gospel is Godβs saving power to everyone who believes; Iβm resolute in my pursuit for the souls of men. Today, as this glorious Gospel is preached around the world, many are snatched out of the kingdom of darkness into the glorious liberty of the sons of God, in Jesusβ Name. Amen.
