Saints of God! As the coming of the Lord draws near any moment from now, I would like to alert you to check some vital characteristics around you. Things that may unconsciously hinder your flight! As they say; little foxes spoil the vine. The first flight is the ultimate reason why we are Christians. If you miss it, you've missed ALL!
I don't like to call our fellowship centers 'Church' although that is how it is fondly called.
Individuals of us in the body of Christ 'the Church'.
For quick comprehension, I will call the home of worship 'Church'. Just for the purpose of understanding the write up.
For the purpose of the coming of the lord which is SOONEST, let us consider the major things expected in a gathering of those "rapturable." The Major focus should be that we are pilgrims on earth therefore, 'the new birth' is A MUST
Bible study is also a MUST in your fellowship so that you can learn the ways of God, not just the acts of God; practical living as a saved soul. The life of God showing in you that people can testify about.
Being committed to God! In prayers, good work, and in love of the brethren.
This is different from being commited to your church, your pastor or Church work. You can be committed to the later and yet not known of God; but you cannot be committed to God and not committed to His service!
You must live like a pilgrim, a stranger and an ambassador if you have a home somewhere!
All your acquisitions, name and glories do not count in HIS presence! Even the 24 elders cast their crowns before him.
Your church must be eagerly waiting for HIS coming and make the message of His coming again an urgent and serious message, if your church specializes in preaching prosperity and you can see results, testimonies of those who gave and received abundance, the poor getting richer, the down trodden becoming great; it is good! But if the first qualities above seem to lack, you need to re-consider for the sake of eternity!
There are churches that exist now, pastored by Wolves, Tigers, Leopards, in sheeps clothings; servants of the anti-Christ! These things happen there sir! Miracles! There are results. And they tell you that you can't argue with results.
2cor 11:13-15." For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. 11:14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. 11:15 Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works."
If in your church, your pastor's focus is on deliverance, and there is no provision on how to teach people the 'word' to keep them living on the word and growing, there is no where to teach that the purpose of the deliverance they received is to live for God.
Any cockroach that appear in their dream, they call DADDY, if there is headache, they call DADDY. The man of God has become the god of man to be consulted like a herbalist, then be careful, the devil have pastors in this last days. They preach and teach from the Bible very well and show the goodness of God, they even preach the righteousness of God and lead people to Christ like Eli the high priest at shilloh! Listen to his message:
1 Samuel 2:23 "And he said unto them, Why do ye such things? for I hear of your evil dealings by all this people. 2:24 Nay, my sons; for it is no good report that I hear: ye make the LORD's people to transgress. 2:25 If one man sin against another, the judge shall judge him: but if a man sin against the LORD, who shall intreat for him? Notwithstanding they hearkened not unto the voice of their father, because the LORD would slay them."
And this is Gods verdict of his message:
1sam 3:12-14
[12] "I am going to carry out all my threats against Eli and his family, from beginning to end.
[13]I have warned him that judgment is coming upon his family forever, because his sons are blaspheming God and he hasn’t disciplined them.
[14]So I have vowed that the sins of Eli and his sons will never be forgiven by sacrifices or offerings.”
There are some churches that preach righteousness and holiness, they teach about the second coming of the Lord! But they have hidden sins that is not known to any man, some are two- faced, hypocrites! What you see them do is different from who they really are. Eye service and insincerity is their nature but they cover it up with wisdom and logics. They forget that He understands our thoughts afar off! Some will be prevented from rapture because of spiritual pride, lovelessness. They only love with their mouth! Save yourself! Don't go and share from other people's sin/idols. Be led by the Holy Spirit before choosing a place of worship. PLEASE
Dear, if you will miss anything, please don't miss the RAPTURE.
If the reason you serve God is to get 'things' good for you.
The devil can give everything except eternal life, peace and joy!
If you are sick, physicians/herbalist can heal you.
If you are oppressed demonized, higher demons can give you succor. There are professional exorcists every where.
If you are poor, the devil can give you riches, fame and name!
But none will follow you to heaven. They all end HERE.
