MEMORISE: “And because lawlessness will be
increased, the love of many will grow cold.”
-Matthew
24:12
EXPOSITION
As Jesus was rounding off His early ministry, He told His
disciples of His own departure, which would mean His going away in a cloud of
suffering. They were all troubled at heart and equally sorrowful, upon hearing
this from Him. Their thought was that Christ had come to stay, and to deliver
Israel. Christ took notice of their countenance, comforted them, and told them
as many that would walk with, and serve Him here on earth, a place is prepared
for them. If Christ had gone to prepare a place for His saints in His Father's
kingdom, will you be ready to reign with Him?
Many Christians that
started the race to eternity have lost focus. They have missed the radar, and
some are beginning to lose it, because of distractions, insensitivity to their
spiritual life, laziness in the things of God, and ungodly association. The
love of many Christian has waxed cold. They have forsaken their first love for
Christ and the things of God (Rev. 2v4). This is evident in the way some now do
things for God and for the sake of the gospel with lackadaisical attitudes, so
lukewarm that man himself would abhor them.
It is not too late for
you to retrace your steps and return to your first love-love for Christ, His
people, and His things. Do not be satisfied with your current spiritual state;
that is complacency. Instead, strive to improve, and move closer to God, on a
daily basis. Learn to watch and be
expectant of Christ's return. To facilitate this, honestly and objectively
examine your Christian walk daily (2 Cor.13v5). Regularly remind yourself that
Christ has gone to prepare a place for you in heaven. He has gone to make
provision for all of us.
The joy of reigning with Him in heaven should make you want to do all in your power, with the help
of the Holy Spirit, to be among the saints that Christ is coming for. Do away
with any thing that can disqualify you from being among the saints of Christ.
Be ready for His return.
PRAYER POINT:
1. Help me, O Lord, not to loss focus in my journey
to heaven.
2. Pray that God will uphold you to hold forth till
the end of your race, here, on earth.
3. Pray for CAC Adelaja region, our father in the
Lord, the Superintendent, and its officers at the various levels, as led by the
Spirit of God.
DO HAVE A BLESSED DAY
