LET US LEARN FROM THE MISTAKE OF OTHERS.

THE CALLED AND CHOSEN:

IF WE FALSELY SCORED OURSELVES HIGH ON OUR INDIVIDUAL PROGRESS REPORT ON THE COURSE OF OUR DISCIPLESHIP IN CHRIST; AND SELF ASSURED OURSELVES OF A TICKET TO ETERNITY WITH CHRIST WITHOUT BEING IN LINE WITH THE TEACHINGS OF CHRIST: THERE IS A PROBLEM.

DAY BY DAY: OUR DAYS ARE GOING AND THERE IS NO ALTERNATIVE TO BEING FULLY PREPARED FOR THE SECOND COMING OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST.

REMEMBER THE PARABLE OF THE “TEN VIRGINS.” (MATTHEW, 25:-1-13)

THE FIVE FOOLISH WERE FRIENDS OF THE BRIDEGROOM BUT THEY WERE NOT WELL PREPARED FOR HIS COMING

WE ARE TO LEARN FROM THEIR MISTAKE, LEST WE END UP THE SAME WAY.

PHILIPPIANS, 3:-12-14: APOSTLE PAUL PROCLAIMED, “NOT THAT I HAVE ALREADY ATTAINED, OR AM ALREADY PERFECTED; BUT I PRESS ON, THAT I MAY LAY HOLD OF THAT FOR WHICH CHRIST JESUS HAD ALSO LAID HOLD OF ME. I PRESS ON TOWARDS THE GOALS FOR THE PRIZE OF THE UPWARD CALL OF GOD IN CHRIST JESUS.”

GLORIFYING ONESELF IN WHAT IS YET TO BE FULLY ACCOMPLISHED IS MORONIC.

IN CONCLUSION: THEREFORE, SINCE WE ARE SURROUNDED BY SUCH A GREAT CLOUD OF WITNESSES, LET US THROW OFF EVERYTHING THAT HINDERS AND THE SIN SO EASILY ENTANGLES. AND LET US RUN WITH PERSEVERANCE THE RACE MARKED OUT FOR US, FIXING OUR EYES ON JESUS, THE PIONEER AND PERFECTER OF OUR FAITH.” (HEBREWS, 12:-1-3)

PLEASE JOIN US IN PRAYER FOR OUR PERSECUTED BROTHERS AND SISTERS ALL OVER THE WORLD, IN ADDITION TO OUR ONGOING PRAYERS FOR LOVE AND UNITY AMONG CHRIST-FOLLOWERS REGARDLESS OF DENOMINATION.

PRAY FOR THE PEACE OF JERUSALEM, AND FOR PEACE IN THE CONTINENT OF AFRICA.

PRAYER FOR VICTORY FOR THE JEWISH STATE OF ISRAEL OVER THEIR ENEMIES, AND VICTORY FOR THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA ON ALL FRONTS.
