7 Behold, I come quickly: blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book.

8 And I John saw these things, and heard them. And when I had heard and seen, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel which shewed me these things.

9 Then saith he unto me, See thou do it not: for I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of them which keep the sayings of this book: worship God.

10 And he saith unto me, Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book: for the time is at hand.

11 He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still.

12 And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Luke 4-6

MESSAGE:

So many people are sleeping and making compromises everywhere they turn. It is almost impossible to find people who are really expecting the return of Jesus Christ. We must be careful not to be so carried away with prosperity and abundance that we forget there is a home for us beyond this earth. If we would not miss that heavenly home, we must trim our lamps and get ourselves ready, because if Jesus says He will return, then He will certainly return. Everyone should seriously give thought to where he or she will be when the rapture happens or when the Lord says it is time to leave the earth.

I remember that during a conference for Pentecostal Pastors in Nigeria long ago, a man of God who was much younger than I came to preach. The young man preached vehemently about the Kingdom of God, hell, the lake of fire, and the second coming of the Lord Jesus Christ. He dissected the word of God about this matter so much that we were all glued to our seats. You can imagine the absolute silence in the hall that day.

By the time he was through with his sermon, we were all sober. As the leader of the meeting, I was supposed to round off and as I mounted the podium I said, “Jesus is truly coming soon, but when a man dies before Jesus returns, his own Jesus has come then.” That was all I said. I travelled and returned two weeks later to learn that the young man of God who had preached that very serious sermon had died. His Jesus had come. My beloved, you should not joke about this matter, because it is an issue of eternal life or death. The choice a person makes here on earth will determine where the fellow will spend his or her eternity and I can tell you that eternity is such a long time.

The Bible says in Hebrews 9:27: And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment.

If you don’t believe me, at least believe the Bible. As soon as a fellow dies, he will face judgment before God. If death is inevitable for all of us, then we must be careful how we live our lives. Behold, Jesus is coming for His bride – the saints. You must be prepared to meet the Bridegroom so you are not left behind.

PRAYER POINT: Father, when You come to collect Your people, please do not let me be left behind in Jesus’ name.

TOPIC: Sold Out To God? [27 Thursday, October 2022] MEMORISE: “For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.” – Philippians 1:21 (KJV)

READ: Romans 8:35-39 (KJV)

35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?

36 As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.

37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.

38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,

39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Luke 2-3

MESSAGE:

An evangelist travelled to a village with the sole aim of winning souls into the Kingdom of God. His mission was very successful and many of the villagers gave their lives to Christ. After spending some months with them, he decided to go to the next village to win souls too. The villagers told him that there were lions between both villages, and if anyone ever tried to cross from one to the other, the lions would eat him up.

The evangelist, however, insisted on going to the next village to preach. When it seemed as if he would not back down, one of the villagers decided that he would go ahead of him so that the lions could eat him and then be too filled up to eat the evangelist as he crossed over to the other village to preach. That villager was completely sold out to God. He was sold out to the point of being willing to lay down his life for the gospel to be preached to sinners.

Are you sold out to Christ? John 12:25 says “He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal”.

When I was a lecturer at the University of Ilorin, there was a village where the people hated Christians so much that they could kill anyone who went there to preach. I gathered people and we went there preaching from door to door and sharing tracts.

Twice, we were reported to the village head and we told him that we were only sharing tracts and speaking to the people. When it started getting dark, my people suggested that we should go but I told them, “We will wait and show the film, as planned”. To the glory of God, those villagers came out for the altar call at night. Today, in that same community, there are many parishes of The Redeemed Christian Church of God.

The community is now won to Christ because we were sold out to God and did not shy away from the challenge of preaching the gospel in a hostile environment. If a person loves his or her life so much that they cannot risk it for the gospel of Christ, such a person will lose that same life. God is not interested in you if you are not totally sold out to Him.

In Revelation 3:15-16, He said you should either be hot or cold. If you are lukewarm, He will spew you out of His mouth. You are either sold out to Him or not for Him at all. Choose wisely today.

REFLECTION: Are you really sold out to God?
