How are you doing today? Twas Labor Day yday, and we all had a day to spend with the family. Very kool. My final semester begins today and I'm so thankful to God. He has been faithful. My weekend was full of exercise lol. My daughter began her potty training on Friday and ... I know all the mums that have been there done that are feeling me right now. (sigh). Had to and still have to take her every 30 mins. The earlier she gets it the better, so I don't mind the stress now if it won't last too long. Nothing good comes easy lol.
Wanted to talk about the end times today. We don't have many preachers who talk about or remind us that we have to be rapturable cos it's a scary topic to most. A lot of believers haven't even opened revelations to read. Yeah ... feel ya cos it's pretty hard to understand... not all of it but a lot of it... But check out what the bible says in Rev 1:3 "Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand". So reading it and/or hearing the words of prophecy therein, and u're blessed.
I was also reminded while watching I believe it was Adrian Rogers on TBN this weekend bout the following phrase. I wanted to share this explanation of 'the time is at hand'. Check this out. The bible says we are at the end times, and that 'the time is at hand' and that 'no one knows when the world will end'. it will all happen 'in the twinkling of an eye' 1 Cor 15: 52. Anyway so back to the explanation. He said, a lot of people see the end time as a time we are approaching e.g. how can I explain it like he did. Ummn okay... Bend down and draw a line across the floor (horizontally), move back like 5 yards and begin to approach that line. That is how we all view the end of the world. Like God has set a time ('the line') , only God knows where the line is, and we are approaching it, and when we get to the line, there's no floor after that.
But he explained the time is at hand isn't like that, the end time isn't like that. We are in it. This time draw a long vertical line, and begin to walk along it like a gymnast on a balance beam. We are all walking across the balance beam and at any moment, the beam will be shaken and of course you know what that means. So as opposed to moving towards the line, we are actually walking the line. Can u believe that??? I think that if more of us realize that, we won't postpone living our lives the way God wants us to. Today is the day to serve Him. To confess Him and believe and trust in Him.
God is not a scary God but we need to rever Him and fear His judgment. It is my prayer that with all the cares of this world that we have (provision for our children, succeeding in our careers, finances, being a good spouse, business, looking good and so so many other), we will not miss being rapturable. Amen. We can still be successful at all those things, and be right standing with God. May God help us all in Jesus mighty name.
It doesn't have to be a sombre topic. All we need do is accept Him as our personal Lord and Savior and confess Him (words and deeds). There is much joy in knowing him. Fullness of joy oh and didn't you know? pleasures forever more. U know it!!!
L8r
And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. Matthew 10:28
