THEME: The Rush Hour.

“But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father.”
Mark 13:32.

TODAY’S TEXT:

“And this know, that if the goodman of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched, and not have suffered his house to be broken through. Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of man cometh at an hour when ye think not.”

TODAY’S MESSAGE:
Ecclesiastes chapter 3:1-8 talks about time by allotting time for all human situations. This shows that, It is appointed to everything that has beginning, to also have ending, in order for freshness or new things to evolve.
Rush hour is that hour, that demands a great haste. A time in which you must be up and doing on your feet, active and at alert. A common experience in urban areas, and it is one of the hustle and bustle of the city life every one crave for, so as to make ends meet. A time so peculiar to every heavenly minded believer, of the imminent return of our heavenly Bridegroom: Jesus, the Savior of the world.
Moreover, our today’s text admonish us to be prepared at all times. As a house owner, would not know the hour, burglars will strike. Hence, he would have employ formidable hands to combat. So we must get together all our strength to be ready for the rapture; whether general or individual departure.
Furthermore, people rush at this hour, in order to make a social or official appointments, some to the place of their daily bread. Beloved in Christ Jesus, this hour we are into, is the very rush hour. The hour you and I, are to ensure we make the appointment with our Maker, whenever He beckon on us.
Conclusively, the scripture says; _”Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin…”_ (Romans 6:11) Do ensure you are dead to sin, so as not to miss the divine moment. May you not miss out on the day of gathering of the saints in Jesus name. Amen.

God bless you.
*Jesus is coming very soon.*
Be prepared.

DAILY CONFESSION:
By God’s grace and mercy. I will not miss rapture.

PRAYER POINT:
Father, thank you for your mercy, grace and love over my life. Please Lord, in this perilous time, help me to be faithful and ready in righteousness till the end in Jesus name. Amen.

Yours in Christ,

THEME: God Is Consuming Fire. II.

MEMORY VERSE:
“For the LORD thy God is a consuming fire, even a jealous God.”
Deuteronomy 4:24.

TODAY’S TEXT:
Genesis 19:24-25.
“Then the LORD rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the LORD out of heaven. And he overthrew those cities, and all the plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew upon the ground.”

TODAY’S MESSAGE:
In the opening of this series, we considered human beings as the most privileged creature, made in the image and the likeness God. But lose his authority over all due to sin, man was restored and forgiven through Jesus sacrifice on the Cross of Calvary. Let’s not forget that, as many that decides to take action or to work against God, will meet with the consuming wrath of God.
However, fire has various qualities such as to renew or modify, destroy or to consume anything that cross it’s path. The more reason, our today’s text reaffirms that our God is Almighty, great and mighty in battle; who destroys the adversaries of His people, with all their plans and possessions.
Meanwhile, He wiped the wicked generation of Noah’s time with flood, after which cities were consumed by fire with all it’s inhabitants. As it was the case of Sodom and Gomorrah, that He rained brimstones and fire on them.
Furthermore, Nineveh was set for destruction but the good news was, the leadership of Nineveh proclaimed a national repentance with fasting.
In conclusion, repentance and recommitment to God, is the solution to avoids getting consumed by the consuming fire of God. God is not happy by the death of a sinner, but to repent and live. (Ezekiel 18:32) May you receive grace, to cooperate with the grace of God upon your life in Jesus name. Amen.

God bless you.
*Jesus is coming soon.*
Be prepared.

DAILY CONFESSION:
By grace, I take my place in Christ Jesus, I will not be consumed by the wrath of God.

PRAYER POINT:
Father, you are the Lord of life. Give me grace at all time, to choose life and not death. May I not be condemned or put to divined judgement in Jesus name. Amen.

Yours in Christ,
B. J. Folorunsho.

THEME: God Is A Consuming Fire. I.

MEMORY VERSE:
“For our God is a consuming fire.”
Hebrews 12:29.

TODAY’S TEXT:
Hebrews 12:27-28.
“And this word, Yet once more, signifieth the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are made, that those things which cannot be shaken may remain. Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear.”

TODAY’S MESSAGE:
As Christians, we are the most privileged creature made by God. The only one created in the likeness and image of God. When sin set in and Mankind got lost, God in His goodness paid the price for our return to His fold, through giving His only begotten son, as a sacrifice for our redemption.
Meanwhile, we are redeemed into God kingdom, with all the full benefits of sonship. And do know that, we are not just restore to any man-made god, but to the living God. Despite, God’s magnanimous acts towards man in redemption, our memory verse still says, “He is a consuming fire.”Do know that, God is not just a fire, or like a fire or like a consuming fire, rather He is a consuming fire.
However, let’s consider this thought. Are you standing or working against God in anyway? For we serve a powerful living God, which should not be toiled with.
Nevertheless, our today’s text enjoin us to note those things, that are shaken before they are remove. The question is, Is your faith shaken? Are you sure you are standing in God? Check yourself, as I check myself also, for 1 Corinthians 10:12 declared, *”Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.”*
Finally, for it is important, we do a daily thorough self cross examination and see for ourselves. It maybe through your actions, inactions, appearance, eating, character, and what a view. Please, ensure you desist from any negative acts now, for tomorrow maybe too late. The Bible says in Psalms 97:3; *”A fire goeth before him, and burneth up his enemies round about.”* This is talking about God, let’s not forget Sodom and Gomorrah experience. May you not be consume in God’s wrath in Jesus name. Amen.

God bless you.
*Jesus is coming soon.*
Be prepared.

DAILY CONFESSION:
I will not fall away from grace, by God’s grace.

PRAYER POINT:
Father, keep me close to your heart. Help me Lord, to keep to your instructions and may I not work against you in anyway in Jesus name. Amen.

Yours in Christ,
B. J. Folorunsho.
