Knowing JESUS Daily Devotional | December 11, 2019. Enrich and Sustain your relationship with Jesus reading our daily devotional – Now, little children (believers, dear ones), remain in Him [with unwavering faith], so that when He appears [at His return], we may have [perfect] confidence and not be ashamed and shrink away from Him at His coming. – 1 John 2:28
Beloved, there is something saints of all generation enjoys from the Lord. You are not excluded from this privilege too.
This is because it is children’s bread, meant for true saints of God. Praise God you are one. Your loving Father places His secret at their disposal for there well being here and hereafter.
Psalms 25:14 The secret of the Lord is with them that fear him; and he will shew them his covenant
Proverbs 3:32 For the froward is abomination to the Lord: but his secret is with the righteous.
Beloved one of such secret is to inform them, the lifestyle they must be living to prepare them ready for translation, like it happened to Enoch. See it yourself.
Hebrews 11:5 By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God.
What Enoch and Elijah knew that made the two of them old testament saints enjoyed privilege that was exclusive of new testament believers. See such a secret is placed at your disposal too.
Multitude of churchgoers globally are not prepared for the coming of the Lord at this perilous time because they are not aware and are nonchalant to the secret below. See it.
1 John 2:28 And now, little children, abide in him; that, when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming.
Beloved, even in the days of old , some saints have similar secret of God at their disposal that guarantees and secured their eternal well-being. See these secrets.
Isa 26:20 Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers,and shut thy doors about thee:hide thyself as it were for a little moment,until the indignation be overpast.
Mal 3:16 — 18 Then they that feared the Lord spake often one to another: and the Lord hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the Lord, and that thought upon his name. And they shall be mine, saith the Lord of hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels; and I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth him. Then shall ye return, and discern between the righteous and the wicked, between him that serveth God and him that serveth him not.
Isa 33:15 — 17 He that walketh righteously, and speaketh uprightly; he that despiseth the gain of oppressions, that shaketh his hands from holding of bribes, that stoppeth his ears from hearing of blood, and shutteth his eyes from seeing evil; He shall dwell on high: his place of defence shall be the munitions of rocks: bread shall be given him; his waters shall be sure. Thine eyes shall see the king in his beauty: they shall behold the land that is very far off.
Beloved the above secrets of the Lord were the things that helped patriarchs like Abraham, Isaac and Jacob etc.
Heb 11:14 — 16 For they that say such things declare plainly that they seek a country. And truly, if they had been mindful of that country from whence they came out, they might have had opportunity to have returned. But now they desire a better country, that is, an heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a city.
So because you too shall certainly enjoy this same privilege, commit yourself to doing these two things till Christ comes.
1. Be living a lifestyle that is in total agreement with God.
Amos 3:3 Can two walk together, except they be agreed?
2. Be walking consistently on the way of holiness. It ends up at the heavenly gate , the entrance to heaven your eternal home. You shall not miss it in Jesus name.
Isa 35:8 — 9 And an highway shall be there, and a way, and it shall be called The way of holiness; the unclean shall not pass over it; but it shall be for those: the wayfaring men, though fools, shall not err therein. No lion shall be there, nor any ravenous beast shall go up thereon, it shall not be found there; but the redeemed shall walk there:
Dearly beloved, see the singular unchanged passion of Christ for believers of all ages and that includes you.
John 17:24 Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world
Because of this passion of Jesus,, He informed Bible days believers, this wonderful secret. See it yourself.
Jn 14:1 — 3 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.
Now the blessed Holy Spirit who wants you too to enjoy same thing is placing similar secrets before you in particular.
It is the secret of the imminent appearance of Christ, which are repeated severally to help you prepare adequately for the dawning rapture at the coming of Christ. See them. yourself.
Jesus will soon appear. Please get ready.
1 John 2:28 And now, little children, abide in him; that, when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming.
1Ti 6:13 — 14 I give thee charge in the sight of God, who quickeneth all things, and before Christ Jesus, who before Pontius Pilate witnessed a good confession; That thou keep this commandment without spot, unrebukeable, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ:
Tit 2:11 — 13 For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world; Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;
Hebrews 9:28 So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.
1Pe 1:6 — 7 Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations: That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:
But then their is an unchanging requisite for this privilege not to elude you. It shall never ever elude you in particular in Jesus name.
This condition is for you to abide in Christ till He comes. See it yourself.
Jn 15:1 — 7 I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit. Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you. Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing. If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned. If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.
Dearly beloved no wonder that was always the most important prayer of Bible days believers.
Since you will also enjoy same privilege soon. Let this be your prayer too. See it and begin to do it, till Christ comes. Praying for the Lord to abide with you.
Luk 24:28 — 29 And they drew nigh unto the village, whither they went: and he made as though he would have gone further. But they constrained him, saying, Abide with us: for it is toward evening, and the day is far spent. And he went in to tarry with them.
Friend, the worldlings and the nominal churchgoers around you are not aware that the end time is here with us now and that the rapture is dawning.
But then you are aware because of this secret of the Lord placed at your disposal.
1 John 2:28 And now, little children, abide in him; that, when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming.
Friend because this is so take advantage of the secret to help you prepare as one of the wise virgins. You must determinedly be doing the following things .
1. All your decisions till Christ comes must give priority to eternal things.
Col 3:1 — 4. If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.
2. Because the marriage supper of the Lamb shall follow after the rapture. At this venue believers shall be rewarded for their joyful labor for Christ on earth. So for you in particular not to be an on looker at this event. Begin to serve God till Christ comes.
1Pe 5:1 — 4. The elders which are among you I exhort, who am also an elder, and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and also a partaker of the glory that shall be revealed: Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight thereof, not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind; Neither as being lords over God’s heritage, but being ensamples to the flock. And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away.
3. Endeavor to be without spot or stain. Keep your garment clean till Christ comes taking advantage of the ceaseless flowing crimson blood at Calvary.
1Jo 3:1 — 3 Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not. Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is. And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.
Friend because you will be doing these, the same reward Paul was promised shall be your portion in Jesus name.
2Ti 4:7 — 8 I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.
