'Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh' (Matthew 24:44).

There is no doubt about it, that Jesus is coming soon. But are you ready for that great moment? What does Christ's coming means to you? The passage of Scripture indicates that no one knows the exact time Jesus will appear, but we ought to get ready, because He is coming - it's a certainty.  It is only God who knows the appointed time of Saviours return. We need not waste valuable times debating the exact time He will come, but be in a state of spiritual readiness every day, in anticipation that it could be our last. We are in the last days of earth's history and the wrath of God will be poured out upon the earth. But God has promised to shorten the days for His elect sake, and we can see it being manifested right now. We have such a loving and merciful God, who wants to save His Children and gives us every opportunity to do so on a daily basis. He even send His Son Jesus to die for us sinners so we could live eternally with Him. But are you ready to leave this world with its cares, its troubles, and anxieties for a better world Christ has prepared for you? Jesus is bidding you to come to Him as you are - broken and empty. Christ the Author and Finisher of our Faith has promised to make you ready, but we too have a part to play in readiness to meet him. We have to be sober, vigilant and watchful, that we are not caught unawares, because Jesus will come like a thief in the night when no one expects him. We must have faith in God - live a life of faith, a life of prayer and a life of holiness and be a witness for him, while we wait for Jesus to come. It is a  certainty that Jesus will come, even though there is uncertain as to when He will put in His appearance. However, we must be ready and watchful at all times and live in the light of His coming.

Have a wonderful day 🌹🌹

 'But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you' (Matthew 6:33). The Lord is our Provider and knows all that we are in need of before we even ask. We do not need to worry or fret ourselves about what we shall eat or drink. Our Father in heaven will take care of these things we need. We are told by Jesus, 'To seek first the kingdom of God.' What does that mean? It means we should lean on, and trust in the grace of Jesus Christ. We should repent of our sins and have a desire to turn away from it. We should seek to put God first in our praise to Him, in our worship of Him, to put our total trust in Him and to rely on Him  rather than ourselves or others. We need to seek Him first in our reassurance and acknowledging who He is and what He can do. We also need to seek God's righteousness by  loving our neighbors and feeding the poor and destitute, seek justice for the vulnerable. We should put God's plan and...

'Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead , yet shall he live;' (John 11:25). The story of Lazarus is a well known one in the Bible. He and his sisters Martha and Mary were friends of Jesus, who loved them. Lazarus became sick and died, and after four days Jesus raised him from the dead. This was more for benefits of those around including His disciples, so that they may truly believe that God had sent him.  He was speaking  with Martha who was more focused on the telling Jesus the problem, than demanding a specific solution. We too can be so focus on the problems we faced, that we forget that God is  much bigger that the problem and is our solution to them. When Jesus told her Lazarus would rise again, she understood it to mean he would live again someday. But Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life: he that believes in me, though he was dead, yet shall he live." Christ at this time, was able...

 'Trust ye in the Lord forever: for in the Lord Jehovah is everlasting strength' (Isaiah 26:4). In a time where there is so much confusion and uncertainty, God is calling us to trust Him always. He is our everlasting strength - the Rock of all ages, Jesus Christ our Lord. He is our refuge and strength in every trial we face and our everlasting Rock in every raging storms of our lives. He is our peace in the midst of perplexity and our Fortress in times of trouble who will cause all things to work together for good. All our blessings; temporal or spiritual comes from him, which give us cause to trust Him forever. Christ our solid Rock in ages past and ages to come, is our Righteousness and and in Him we find shelter in the time of storm. We can trust Him at all times and in everything. To give us victory over sin and temptation; to bear us up under affliction and to help us withstand the spiritual attacks that may come our way. It is a good thing to put our confidence in the Lor...
