ARE YOU LIVING READY? 2

“Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching: verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make them to sit down to meat, and will come forth and serve them. ”
Luke 12:37
Main Text:

Are you getting ready or still enjoying the sweet bread of this world that will perish? Don’t get carried away or distracted from the truth. The Lord is not slack concerning His Word. Jesus will soon be back to take the saints home.

The teaching of Christ's return is a real litmus test of where you are spiritually. For the person who is right with God, it motivates and purifies them. For the person who is not right with God, it frightens and alarms them.

For the believer who is watching and waiting, Christ's return is a welcome development. For the persons who are not where they need be spiritually, He will come to them as a thief in the night.

So, in light of this hope of Christ's return, how are well are you ready for Him?

What are we to do as we await His return? Three things come to mind: We need to wake up, sober up, and suit up.

Paul tells us, "Therefore let us not sleep, as others do, but let us watch and be sober. For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who get drunk are drunk at night. But let us who are of the day be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love, and as a helmet the hope of salvation" 1 Thessalonians 5:6–8

If you are not at His second appearing, you have missed the utmost purpose of your existence on earth. What is separating you from the love of the Lord? That separator is the destroyer’s agent. The fun, the world, the parties, the clubs, the media, evil friends and the likes. They are the destroyer’s agents sent from hell to make you lose you grip on Christ. Repent and stay focused in His Kingdom.

Prayer: Help me O Lord to live ready for your coming.
