HOW PREPARED ARE YOU?
THE CALLED AND DIVINELY LOVED:
HOW PREPARED ARE YOU AND YOUR HOUSEHOLD FOR THE SECOND COMING OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST?
WITH ALL THE ANOINTMENT AND THE NOBLE STATUS RECOGNITION THAT FOLLOWS, IF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST SHOWS UP TODAY, IS YOUR HOUSE IN ORDER?
WE SHOULD ALL LEARN FROM THE PARABLE OF “THE TEN VIRGIN” (MATTHEW, 25:-1-13)
AS CHRISTIANS, IT IS OUR DUTY AND RESPONSIBILITY TO PUT OUR HOUSE IN ORDER AND TEACH OUR CHILDREN THE FUNDAMENTALS OF CHRISTIANITY. (LOVE, RESPECT AND HUMILITY) IF WE FAIL, THE END IS NOT GOING BE PRETTY.
WE ALL NEED TO REMEMBER THE STORY OF PROPHET ELI AND HIS HOUSEHOLD. (2 SAMUEL,2:-12-36)
BEING CALLED TO PREACH OR TO LEAD THE CONGREGATION DOES NOT AUTOMATICALLY QUALIFY ANYONE OR MEMBERS OF HIS FAMILY AS CANDIDATES TO THE KINGDOM OF GOD.
SALVATION IS NOT BY MEMBERSHIP TO ANY DENOMINATION, OR CITIZEN TO A PARTICULAR COUNTRY.
IT IS BY INDIVIDUAL.
THEREFORE WE SHALL ALL BE JUDGED INDIVIDUALLY.
ROMANS, 2:-6-11 “HE WILL RENDER TO EACH ONE ACCORDING TO HIS WORKS. TO THOSE WHO BY PATIENCE IN WELL-DOING SEEK FOR GLORY AND HONOR AND IMMORTALITY, HE WILL GIVE ETERNAL LIFE. BUT FOR THOSE WHO ARE SELF-SEEKING AND DO NOT OBEY THE TRUTH, BUT OBEY UNRIGHTEOUSNESS, THERE WILL BE WRATH AND FURY. FOR GOD SHOWS NO PARTIALITY.”
SO, WE ARE TO PICK UP THE SLACK IF THERE IS ANY, AND PUT OUR HOUSE IN ORDER.
IN CONCLUSION: MAY OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST HIMSELF, AND GOD OUR FATHER, WHO LOVED US AND GAVE US ETERNAL COMFORT AND GOOD HOPE THROUGH GRACE, COMFORT OUR HEARTS AND ESTABLISH THEM IN EVERY GOOD WORK AND WORD.
IN JESUS MIGHTY NAME WE PRAY. AMEN.
