Our King is Coming Soon!

I believe that God, through this Word, talks about being caught up in the air one day (Rapture), we need to be prepared and available for the coming of the Lord The world ages, it grows old. But when I say the end is near, I mean this earth will reach its end and SOON. This finite earth, with all its splendor and beauty, has a life span which it exists for a specific period of time.

No matter how good this planet may seem, no matter what’s going on in it, God has appointed a certain day to put it (the earth) to end. Everyone living in it must take this matter of truth seriously and importantly, because nobody will stay in this world forever. We are strangers (pilgrims) in this life journey. We also need to understand that the length of our stay in this world is determined by how we spend our life at present. 1 Peter 4:7 says, “But the end of all things is at hand”. For the kingdom of God is near, so is the end of everything in this world. This is the sounding alarm for all of us Christians: to get ourselves ready. Let us never miss the final flight at this moment. Anyone who will miss the flight of this end time will regret it.

There are many people who end up blaming themselves about how they lived their lives. It happened before, if you remember the Bible account of Noah. In Matthew 24:37, Jesus was quoted saying, “As it was the days of Noah, so will it be at the coming of the Son of Man.” Noah was told to build an ark. He was calling the people and announced, “Come inside, a flood is coming.” They thought of him as a foolish pastor saying, “Come on, Noah! There is nothing, what are you talking about? God wouldn’t do that.” The people in Noah’s day refused to enter the ark, until they were wiped away. Others may also be professing that they don’t believe in any God or any pastor; all they believe is science. I tell you the truth no one is excused. Lawyers, doctors, pastors, bishops, or even apostles will appear at the throne at Judgment of God. All of us.

.

The Bible says in Hebrews 9:27 things we Christians need to observe in times like this:

1. Understanding The Signs of His coming. Jesus Our Savior doesn’t leave us in the dark about His coming, He revealed this clearly before He departed. We remember Him mentioning that when it’s getting near for Him to come back, things will happen, that we will see this and that, then His coming is near. Jesus said in Mark 13:28-31, My Bible made it very clear in the book of Matthew 24:1-7, that there will be rumors of war all around the world. Today, there’s no month that we don’t hear about rumors of war. There are issues in America, Australia and China. One country is against another. There is confusion everywhere, a sign that the coming of the Lord Jesus is at hand. Evil things are happening all over the planet. Reading verse 7 of the said chapter, “For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences (Sickness), and earthquakes, in divers places.” Aside from sin, another sign of the end time is the increase of knowledge. People travel to and fro and knowledge increases according to the book of Daniel chapter 12 verse 4, “But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end; many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.” Come to think of it, knowledge is far more increasing than ever before and people rejoice over this phenomenon exclaiming, “Wow! This is a new world, more than a new world!”

2. Watch! Be vigilant! There’s a need to be sensitively perceptive because the trick and the lie of the devil may hold you captive. There are many things in this world that endorse an indulgent lifestyle , “Do not worry, you can commit sin as willfully as you like, as long as you are saved, no problem.” Watch out! Perceive it as a lie of the devil in these end times.

.

3. Pray. Always pray that you won’t lose your crown. One of the important prayers I have is, “God help me, all the members you have committed into my hands, including my family, that we will never and never let us miss your kingdom.”“Pray that your flight” signifies your departure back to heaven. “Will not be in the winter” means in the cold time when everyone becomes cold in spirit. Matthew 24:12

4. Love God Until The End. If you don’t want this end time problem, if you don’t want to be a victim of this perilous time, you need to make sure that the love of God is not be quenched in your life. Love him more and more. Love him better each day till the end. Let your love never be wax cold. According to the book of Mark 12:30, “ And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment.” This is the greatest commandment, the greatest law of our God. Love Him. Whomsoever you love, you are excited to see and be with.

Rejoice our King is coming soon, Hallelujah.

FORGIVENESS

Matthew 6:14 – If you forgive, your Father in heaven will also forgive you. When you forgive, it’s a blessing. It causes your Heavenly Father to show you mercy. To enjoy your relationship or marriage, one of the important things to understand is not to miss the consideration of one another’s mistakes by understanding MERCY. No matter how good , anointed or careful the person is, opinion in one’s life is somehow private and is prone to be tainted with mistakes. If we made mistakes and held it in our heart long enough and not exercise FORGIVENESS, we are not only hurting the one we offend but us ourselves. The more unforgiveness is there, the more it will affect your life. If you truly want to enjoy relationship, you must have a kind of easy forgiving heart, a spirit that can easily forgive.

.

In a relationship, do not wait for your partner to ask forgiveness but you as well must ask forgiveness.

One word of asking forgiveness can change a story. If you learn to forgive people who offended you, you are helping yourself to be at peace. When you don’t forgive, you are only hurting yourself. It’s an opportunity for the devil to attack more especially when the past offense repeats itself and brings back the blame and pain, the devil will take advantage of it. If you want to enjoy your relationships with your partner in marriage, learn to have a spirit of forgiveness. Think about our Lord Jesus Christ. He did a lot of things for the people like miracles, wonders, acts of kindness and provisions for the needy yet they spitted him, chastised Him, blamed Him, talked against Him, blasphemed Him and nailed Him to the cross of Golgotha.

.

If you observed, Jesus before finally consummating the work of salvation on the cross, released the words, “Father, forgive them for they do not know what they do”. If Jesus moved out of this world with the kind of heart with grudges, the work of salvation could have never been accomplished. God in human likeness, revealed unto us the only way to accomplish the good purpose in life, FORGIVENESS. The same thing in our home. If you want it to have a heaven on earth feel and make it a place of joy, never fight the error of your partner. Learn to overlook things. Not in everything you need to react, learn to forgive quickly, otherwise, Satan will take advantage of the situation. Nobody has to feel too big to ask for forgiveness, either you are the man or the woman, or you are older or younger than the person you have offended or who offended you, ask for forgiveness if applicable. The Words “I’m sorry “ is not for everybody but only for the wise people. If you insist you were right, no one can defeat you but Satan will just put on more fire on the matter to make it worse, and its just a waste of time. It shouldn’t be so. You must Forgive.

One thing about forgiveness is anyone that refuses to forgive is like someone who is burning the bridge in which he will use to pass through soon enough. Nobody does not need forgiveness. One way or the other, you maybe right today and tomorrow may not be, so, when you also need forgiveness by the time, you will also be forgiven. That’s why the Bible says, “Forgive those who trespass against us”. If you refuse to forgive today, someday you will fall in to making mistakes, you will never be forgiven as well. Not just for the husband and wife, but also for the children and parents holding grudges against one another. Forgiveness may not repair what the past mistakes destroyed but it helps the future to have the flow of the free spirit to enjoy the next level of what God wants to do for you. Have a forgiving spirit. God bless you greatly.

𝐖𝐈𝐒𝐃𝐎𝐌!

Proverbs 14:1 “Every wise woman buildeth her house, but a foolish plucketh it down with her hands.”

God is revealing something important, a key to building an enjoyable home or relationship, which is WISDOM.

Wisdom, understanding and knowledge are highly required for a successful and a happy home.

The Bible says that “My people perish because of lack of knowledge.” – Hosea 4:6. So, the same thing is applicable to the family, home, and relationship. Many relationships are supposedly fruitful but collapsed for the lack of knowledge and wisdom.

.

In this life, so many people love to desire to make themselves presentable outwardly. Everything you are going to acquire in life, make sure you value wisdom. There are many people who fail to build a relationship for they base it on outward beauty, position and possession but lack knowledge to make home sustainable. Regardless of talent, status or educational attainment, we need to understand the importance of WISDOM. It will teach you the right thing to do when challenges occur in a home.

Wisdom will take care and handle challenges wisely. When the enemy tries to pull down the relationship, wisdom will teach how to do the thing or deal with issue carefully, otherwise, failure will take place. So, value WISDOM. In a relationship, one must learn to pray to God to obtain the heavenly knowledge and WISDOM. It’s the only way you can overcome the attacks of the enemy: to have the Wisdom from God. 1 Peter 3:7- “Likewise, husbands, dwell with wisdom, according to the knowledge of God, giving honor to the wife to dwell as unto the weaker vessel…” Dwell with wisdom, which is highly required in a relationship on how to rule a home. Dwell in wisdom that your prayer be not hindered and be in vain. Be teachable in spirit as well. To get wisdom, one must acquire humility. To ask for wisdom is a step of humility.

.

Humble oneself for learning, mending, realizing the past mistakes into the new relationship, learn on a daily basis. Make a change and blend to be qualified and not to become a disappointment to God and to your destiny. If you want your relationship, marriage and home to be successful indeed, don’t just be wise in your own sight. Humbly ask God His wisdom and be willing to embrace His wisdom.
Ask, receive, embrace the counsel of the Lord for your destiny and in your relationship.
Get WISDOM.
God loves you.

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐒𝐞𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐭 𝐎𝐟 𝐀 𝐒𝐮𝐜𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐟𝐮𝐥 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐠𝐞! (Holiday Time)

Holiday Time

Genesis 26:8,…Isaac was sporting with Rebekah. Isaac and Rebekah in a certain land will be the case study in this passage. They had time together sporting.
In a relationship, the time together alone is very important. Those who are young or probably under aged are not yet qualified to have time together alone,but only those who are matured are alone allowed to do so. Some couples are busy in all their 365 days. No time to be together as husband and wife, It shouldn’t be the case.

.

They must value having time together, separate from what they used to even for just a few moments… to be alone. Just to reason together for the future and reminisce where and when they started together as lovers and how they became husband and wife.

Create time to remember beautiful time together, have fun and plan more to make the relationship grow stronger.

.

Understand Holiday time. Isaac, despite the fact that he was a farmer with his wife in a strange land and they both were busy still had time with each other alone in the field. They sat down, talked about how things worked together before and the time together caused them to be refreshed and made themselves happy as in having recreation, taking a break time. It may not be too much of time as long as it’s quality time, making them plan for the better and for the best days to come.

This way, the family may be well-guided in their growth. They will be blessed upon knowing their marriage has become successful, so shall it be. May the Lord bless you.

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐒𝐞𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐭 𝐎𝐟 𝐀 𝐒𝐮𝐜𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐟𝐮𝐥 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐠𝐞! (Appreciation)

(Psalm 67:5-6) Let the people praise thee, O God. Let all the people praise. Then shall the earth yield her increase. And God, even our own God, shall bless us.

Appreciation is an act of gratitude showing that you value a thing. Whatever you appreciate will increase in blessings and whatever you don’t appreciate will just be lost.

When God gives you home and that home has a kind of spirit of appreciation, you will enjoy the goodness of God, even to God that we are serving. He is a good and a great God. He loves to bless people but one thing about Him is, if you don’t know how to appreciate, you will never get His blessings. Appreciation always attracts blessings. Malachi 2:1- I have cursed them already because you didn’t lay it to heart. The opposite word of blessing is curse. In marriage, if you don’t learn to appreciate, curse will take place.The purpose of God in marriage is blessing and its manifestations if we maintain appreciation in our homes.

Appreciate God in marriage. It doesn’t matter how long you have been married or in a relationship, the application of three principles will give joy to one’s home. They will determine how joyful your family will be. Singles must learn these as well for the future. To be able to close doors against the enemy in marriage and to enjoy God’s blessings in every home, one must have to have some levels of appreciation.

.

1. Appreciate your spouse or partner, give thanks to God not only for a moment but always. Many fail to appreciate God about their partners and in the long run, give the devil a chance to mess with and take relationships away. Give thanks to God even in your secret prayer, He will be committed to secure your home. And no curse will affect your home. Appreciate God and blessings will take over. Value appreciation, never cease to give thanks. Never complain to God nor grumble about marriage challenges.

2. Appreciate in return to your grateful partner. Appreciate your partner who appreciates you in many little things and even big things that the joy may not fade and totally lose. Reciprocate. Gradually failure seeps in due to lack of gratitude to one another. Do not resist the appreciation of your partner or else the devil will take advantage of the situation and somebody from the outside will do what you are supposed to do. Appreciation has a lot to do in the family just like when you appreciate God, in return, He will give blessings to you. In the she same manner, everyone who appreciates can expect to get appreciation in return. Sweeter and better it is if we receive appreciation after we show the same to others. The peace of God shall come. The more you reject appreciation continually, the faster the devil will ruin the joy and sweetness in your home and marriage. Don’t break the habit. Never be lacking in giving appreciation in the relationship. Expression and appreciation is very important. Appreciate every gift.

.

3. One of the expressions of love is giving. John 3:16- God loves and so gives. Many homes fail to offer gifts to their loved one. Husbands frustrate relationships by not showing love through giving tokens. Use the key to unlock the blessings by giving tokens of appreciation. Appreciate even little things, God will be committed to give more, same in the relationship. Appreciate the surprises, don’t underestimate or belittle the surprise even if you don’t like them. Appreciate the efforts as well.

4. Appreciate even if things are not perfect. One of the biggest problems in marriage is perfectionism. No matter how prayerful you are, you’ll never find a perfect partner. Your appreciation can help even in the area of weakness, to make him or her become what you expect them to be or else the expectation will just be destroyed. Many are just focusing on the shortcomings, faults and mistakes of one’s partner. Gifts, surprises and expectations even if they do not meet your expectations, appreciate. If you don’t appreciate, somebody else will do. Be wise in the process of learning each other’s weakness. Keep appreciating in a good way.

5. Do not appreciate other man or woman in the presence of your partner. It’s an annoyance. It will surely create insecurity in his/her being. It’s an insult to your partner, most of all a disgrace to yourself.
