JESUS IS COMING

 


“The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance – 2Peter 3:9.”

 

Pharoah didn’t know that Moses would one day return to Egypt until the last plague brought the whole nation bowing and acknowledging that God is God over all the gods of Egypt. The Sauls already concluded in their heart that the Samuels weren’t going to make it to the place at the time of sacrifice. So, they forced themselves to the sacrifice bringing about the tearing away of the kingdom from their hands. This has been the issue with men – time.

 

There is this text in the scripture which many unlearned men have wrestled with and used to their own hurt. It is in the book of Proverbs –

“Hope deferred maketh the heart sick: but when the desire cometh, it is a tree of life. – Pro. 13:12.”
This also is a function of time. Hope does not make ashamed said the apostle – “And hope maketh not ashamed… – Rom. 5:5.” It is due to the timing, early or late, that has made men to be slack and grow weary in their earnestness in pursuit and determination to following God and obeying His word.

 

So it is with the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. Is He your Lord? If He is not, then it is not necessary to use the pronoun “our.” I’d rather use, my Lord Jesus Christ. It’s been over two thousand years since He ascended and set in the right hand of God. He left us with His promise –

“And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also – Jn. 14:3.”
He said He would come back. The angels also testified –
“…Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven – Acts. 1:11.”

 

The first time Jesus Christ came bodily, He came to prepare us for the Kingdom. When He went away, He went to prepare a Kingdom for those He had prepared. He is not a liar. He said He would come back. And the truth is that –

“Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away – Lk. 21:33.”

 

I am like the voice of one bringing to your remembrance once again that Jesus Christ is coming again. Definitely, He is coming again. He had given His word. He is committed to fulfilling it. The apostle Peter had to remind the people in his days about the coming of the Lord that He is not slack. The same is applicable to us. For the fact that the Lord is yet to return does not mean He is not going to come. Listen to this and may the Lord give you understanding.

 

Instead of concluding and making all sorts of irrational decisions about His coming, there is a question we need to ask one another. The question is, for the sole reason that it is taking Him this long to return, what could be the cause? Ask this question and it is my prayer that the Holy Spirit will brood upon this word.

 

We know God created the whole heaven and earth in six days. We know that the Lord Jesus Christ is co-equal with the Father in power also. So, that it has taken Him over two thousand years to return because He is preparing a place, how beautiful will the place He had gone to prepare shall be! It is not a place to miss. I beg of you, please.

 

The second point to this is that, the cup of our Amorites has not yet been filled. That is the reason the judgement isn’t coming now. It will definitely come. So, it is the time and door of repentance He is opening unto us. This is for us to return to God in humility, patience and total surrender. Again, Jesus is coming. His tarrying is for us to repent and be among the elects. Are you in the number? If you are not fit for His kingdom or to be among His elects, definitely and most assuredly you shall be fit for fire – for the burning –

“..but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire – Matt. 3:12.”

THE BELOVED'S VOICE

Image
  “I sleep, but my heart waketh: it is the voice of my beloved that knocketh, saying, Open to me, my sister, my love, my dove, my undefiled: for my head is filled with dew, and my locks with the drops of the night – Songs of Solomon 5:2.”   Was this a prayer or heart desire of a man? Could this be the musing of his heart, the meditation in his mind and the words on his lips? Whatever this was, is or would be, it is definite that there was a longing in the soul of the one who penned this. There was an appetite within which kept coming having become a fountain that cannot run dry. It was the voice of the one he loved. Such is the voice of God to those whom He loves. The voice of God is beloved to them. As a Shepherd, His sheep will always hear His voice. The same goes to our God as touching the voice of His elects. They are His beloved too. Their voice to Him, is the voice of the beloved. We shall address this lesson under two points. First, God’s voice to His people. Second...

TO SERVE

Image
  “Issachar is a strong ass couching down between two burdens – Genesis 49:14.” Service today is seen as a heinous word. Most people often tag service with the word “suffering.” The real meaning of service is to serve and to serve is either to do what people can or cannot do for themselves. To serve can also be said to work for someone in exchange for something valuable and precious which will worth the wait, the time, the resources and energy used. To serve can also be said to be in a position of assisting someone who appears to be a superior or master with the intention of gaining knowledge and becoming like that master someday – “ It is enough for the disciple that he be as his master, and the servant as his lord… – Matt. 10:25 .” Using the word of our Master, Lord Jesus Christ, to serve means to minister. One word commonly used for those that serve is servant. And each time we hear the word servant, we feel like that purpose is an inferior person. Again, when the word serva...

OUR GUIDE

Image
“For this God is our God for ever and ever: HE will be OUR GUIDE even unto death – Psalms 48:14.” Mountain climbers or mountaineers are people who take adventurous steps. They take pleasure in scouting for mountains. The love they have for what they do is a passion they are driven by. Some of them might have been doing this for historical purpose. Others could have been doing it for archaeological reasons. Still, among these men or women, you might be able to have few who are involved in this adventure for the sole reason of discovery. Whatever reasons they all have to initiate and accomplish this feat, there is something that is common to them all.And the common thing with them is THEIR GUIDE. They dare not go ahead to get this thing done without their guide. They dare not climb to heights without their guide. It is on this guide we shall trust God to help us apply this to ourselves believing that He will not leave us to ourselves but impact upon us the eternal truth in His word. ...
