Great Tribulation

MEDITATION

A rehearsal of the Great Tribulation?

The literal fulfilment of the text will be in the Great Tribulation. For example, cp vv19-21 and Revelation 6:15,16. However, the pandemic is  showing that the fulfilment will be literal.

1. Some modern day sins that will precede the great tribulation
a. Proud look vv11,17. Sin is a heart problem, but it  will always seek to overflow to the outward appearance in dressing, physical and outward comportment etc., if not dealt with.
Q Mention some of the elements of outward look that show pride and worldliness.
b. Arrogance vv11,17. Unprecedented arrogance against God and His word, due mental knowledge, wealth etc. will characterize these last days.
P Think of how mental knowledge and quest for wealth have replaced the knowledge of God in this age.



c. The idols of latter days will be more of love of wealth (gold and silver), worldly wisdom (knowledge that is exclusive of God and godliness), wickedness, worldliness and wantonness  v20.
Are you totally free?
2. Rehearsing judgement of the great tribulation
a. Attack on the global and individual economy vv13,19.
b. Secured people and powerful nations will embarrassingly  be as unsecured (or at times worse) as the weak nations and people vv12-15.
c. Man, with all its advancements and scientific knowledge, will be helplessly humbled and humiliated vv12, 17.
d. Many, including the greats, will be desperately seeking for refuge and solution. Many will perish as a result.
Q Can you see how the invisible Corona virus has given us a rehearsal of greater doom ahead?
The only means of escape is total cleansing from all sins and a life of holiness etc.
He that has an ear, let him hear 
Lord, don't allow me to perish with world๐Ÿ™
Lord, let you word and Spirit go deep into my heart and remove every root of arrogance and proud look๐Ÿ™
Lord, keep me in constant watching and waiting for your coming and keep me from carelessness๐Ÿ™
Awaken your saints to be ever prepared for the sound of the trumpet๐Ÿ™

Don’t Look Back!

Don’t Look Back! Luke 9:62 – And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God. Have you answered the call to serve God as His son and daughter? Have you totally chosen Jehovah as your God? Have you decided to leave your old ways and cleave unto God? If yes! Beloved I congratulate you. But hope you took the cost of your choice?? [Please refer to yesterday’s sermon] God doesn’t want us to look back when we have answered the call, why? This is because of the following: Firstly, it brings shame to the body of Christ and makes people to despise Christ. Looking back is to be lukewarm and to depart from the first love! [Revelation 2:4, Revelation 3:16] Secondly, looking back makes the believer to suffer backwardness spiritually and physical. The faith of the believer suffers and takes a longer time to be rebuilt. [Hebrews 6:4]. Thirdly, looking back will make the person not to complete whatever he or she has started. This is w...

Heart Not Garment - 2

"Rend your heart, and not your garments." --Joel 2:13 Apart from vital godliness all religion is utterly vain; offered without a sincere heart, every form of worship is a solemn sham and an impudent mockery of the majesty of heaven. HEART-RENDING is divinely wrought and solemnly felt. It is a secret grief which is personally experienced, not in mere form, but as a deep, soul-moving work of the Holy Spirit upon the inmost heart of each believer. It is not a matter to be merely talked of and believed in, but keenly and sensitively felt in every living child of the living God. It is powerfully humiliating, and completely sin-purging; but then it is sweetly preparative for those gracious consolations which proud un-humbled spirits are unable to receive; and it is distinctly discriminating, for it belongs to the elect of God, and to them alone.

Faulty Covenant

Faulty Covenant Hebrews 8:7 [7] For if that first covenant had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the second. Covenant as a strong bound that is not easily broken can be faulty. The covenant made betwixt God and the Israelites was a faulty covenant in this time of Grace but perfect in it's time. The covenant wasn't to lead sinner's unto Christ's but it was to lead them unto their destructive end quickly. The old covenant was a period of darkness and pains (because it was more by works and not by grace) but thanks to God who invalidated the old covenant and gave us the covenant of Grace where Jesus is the mediator no longer Moses. God spoken of the new covenant long ago in Jeremiah 31:31; it was manifested in Christ. This new covenant brings light to the soul. Every covenant that do not bring light to your life, be destroyed now by fire! Whatever makes you to live by work and not by grace be destroyed! For God's name sake, let everyt...
