Godliness makes a difference in a man’s life and also enables us to make a difference in the lives of those around us. The Bible says godliness is profitable in all things. This is talking about prosperity for the whole man—spirit, soul, and body
Zechariah 8:23 Thus saith the Lord of hosts; In those days it shall come to pass, that ten men shall take hold out of all languages of the nations, even shall take hold of the skirt of him that is a Jew, saying, We will go with you: for we have heard that God is with you.
Beloved, the Bible reveals that God, your loving Father in heaven is on top of what every human beings on the face of this earth has ever done and will be doing, till the end of time. Nothing is hidden from Him.
Jeremiah 23:23-24. Am I a God at hand, saith the Lord, and not a God afar off? Can any hide himself in secret places that I shall not see him? saith the Lord. Do not I fill heaven and earth? saith the Lord.
Hebrews 4:13. Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do.
Always remember this, all that you as a person have ever done and will ever do, is naked before God. If you are doing right, this should make you rejoice, but them if on the other hand, you are doing wrong, He is on top and a day of reckoning is coming.
Ecclesiastes 12:13-14. Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.
Revelation 22:11-12. He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still. And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.
Beloved, it is this God that knows all things about every human being through and through, that have these testimonies to say about these saints of old. If He will have to testify about you, what will He says. See what He said about these saints of like passion like you.
Noah:
Genesis 7:1. And the Lord said unto Noah, Come thou and all thy house into the ark; for thee have I seen righteous before me in this generation.
Abraham:
Genesis 18:17-19. And the Lord said, Shall I hide from Abraham that thing which I do; Seeing that Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him? For I know him, that he will command his children and his household after him, and they shall keep the way of the Lord, to do justice and judgment; that the Lord may bring upon Abraham that which he hath spoken of him.
Genesis 26:4-5. And I will make thy seed to multiply as the stars of heaven, and will give unto thy seed all these countries; and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; Because that Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws.
Job:
Job 1:1. There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job; and that man was perfect and upright, and one that feared God, and eschewed evil.
Job 1:8 And the Lord said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil?
Moses
Numbers 12:3. (Now the man Moses was very meek, above all the men which were upon the face of the earth.)
David
Acts 13:22. And when he had removed him, he raised up unto them David to be their king; to whom also he gave testimony, and said, I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after mine own heart, which shall fulfil all my will.
Hanani:,
Nehemiah 7:1-2. Now it came to pass, when the wall was built, and I had set up the doors, and the porters and the singers and the Levites were appointed, That I gave my brother Hanani, and Hananiah the ruler of the palace, charge over Jerusalem: for he was a faithful man, and feared God above many.
Daniel:
Daniel 9:23: At the beginning of thy supplications the commandment came forth, and I am come to shew thee; for thou art greatly beloved: therefore understand the matter, and consider the vision.
Daniel 10:11. And he said unto me, O Daniel, a man greatly beloved, understand the words that I speak unto thee, and stand upright: for unto thee am I now sent. And when he had spoken this word unto me, I stood trembling.
Beloved, you might be wondering why these gracious testimonies about these saints? It is because the lifestyle of a child of God, should be an epistle for the sinning world to see and be converted.
This was symbolically prophesied about the Jews and believers of all ages and you in particular, that your lifestyle being watched always by all in your world of influence: your spouse, your children, parents, siblings, in laws, close and extended family members. Neighbours and colleagues at work etc, should draw them to God. See it yourself.
Zechariah 8:23 Thus saith the Lord of hosts; In those days it shall come to pass, that ten men shall take hold out of all languages of the nations, even shall take hold of the skirt of him that is a Jew, saying, We will go with you: for we have heard that God is with you.
This means your own lifestyle should turn others to righteousness and prepare them for the dawning rapture. Pause and be sincere about yourself. Is your present lifestyle drawing others to God or repelling them from God?
Is your present lifestyle encouraging and enhancing righteousness in your neighbourhood or furthering ungodliness and licentiousness?
Daniel 12:3. And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.
It is time to ensure that this prophecy is personally fulfilled in your own life, that through your lifestyle till Christ comes will be drawing the Worldling, the churchgoers and backslidden believers to Christ and His kingdom.
May the Lord depend on you in Jesus name.
Malachi 2:6. The law of truth was in his mouth, and iniquity was not found in his lips: he walked with me in peace and equity, and did turn many away from iniquity.
Dearly beloved, our Lord Jesus Christ distinguished Himself as a gracious doer of biblical godly lifestyle and anointed teacher.
Acts 1:1. The former treatise have I made, O Theophilus, of all that Jesus began both to do and teach,
That was the example He left for believers of all ages, especially you to follow. Be a consistent doer of what you are teaching others in your world of influence.
1 Peter 2:21. For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps:
See what He professed to be.
John 8:12. Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.
See what the blessed Holy Spirit said, He was.
Hebrews 7:26. For such an high priest became us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens;
The Bible calls you a disciple and you must be like your Master.
Matthew 10:24-25. The disciple is not above his master, nor the servant above his lord. It is enough for the disciple that he be as his master, and the servant as his lord.
If they have called the master of the house Beelzebub, how much more shall they call them of his household?
Jesus our Lord’s lifestyle was the singular epistle that Bible days believers were reading and doing.
John 17:19. And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth.
Dearly beloved, like Jesus was an epistle been read by Bible days believers and still to be continually read , till end of time, by believers of all ages and that includes you.
Then it now becomes expedient for you too, to become an epistle that members of your world of influence must be reading and be godly, to prepare you and them for the dawning rapture.
2 Corinthians 3:2 Ye are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read of all men:
See Christ’s expectations from you.
Matthew 5:13-16. Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men. Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
Philippians 2:15. That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world;
1 Timothy 4:12. Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity
See the testimonies of the blessed Holy Spirit on apostle Paul and others.
1 Thessalonians 2:10. Ye are witnesses, and God also, how holily and justly and unblameably we behaved ourselves among you that believe:
2 John 1:4. I rejoiced greatly that I found of thy children walking in truth, as we have received a commandment from the Father.
3 John 1:3-4. For I rejoiced greatly, when the brethren came and testified of the truth that is in thee, even as thou walkest in the truth. I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth.
So go and be doing likewise till Christ comes.
Luke 10:37. And he said, He that shewed mercy on him. Then said Jesus unto him, Go, and do thou likewise.
JESUS CHRIST, AN EPITOME OF BIBLICAL GODY LIFESTYLE, BE LIKE HIM.
Friend, the scriptures revealed that everyone that shall live with God for all eternity and be part of the dawning rapture shall have testimonies of God, that, they are godly and lived godly lifestyle. See the various testimonies.
Revelation 7:9-17. After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands; And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb. And all the angels stood round about the throne, and about the elders and the four beasts, and fell before the throne on their faces, and worshipped God, Saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and might, be unto our God for ever and ever. Amen. And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they? And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple: and he that sitteth on the throne shall dwell among them. They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat. For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.
Revelation 14:4-5. These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb. And in their mouth was found no guile: for they are without fault before the throne of God.
Revelation 19:6-9. And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth. Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready. And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints. And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God.
Friend, as you profess to be preparing for the dawning rapture, what testimony does Jesus have concerning you in heaven presently.?
Will He say, you are a wife that has made yourself ready?
Will He see you as one of the wise virgins or among the foolish ones?
The Bible says you should examine yourself and never ever be presumptuous. It could be very very dangerous.
2 Corinthians 13:5. Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?
Remember, Jesus is coming for a glorious church and not a graceless church. Where do you belong. Among the glorious or the graceless?
See the glorious:
Ephesians 5:25-27. Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.
See the graceless:
2 Timothy 3:1-5. This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
I thank God for you because you a wise person and always behaving wisely. So live like a wise person till the rapture takes place, living daily with eternity in view. The good Lord shall help you in Jesus name.
Deuteronomy 32:29. O that they were wise, that they understood this, that they would consider their latter end!
See you at the top in Jesus name.
