Living always in readiness, requisite for partaking in the imminent rapture.

Living always in readiness, requisite for partaking in the imminent rapture.

Matthew  24:44 Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.

Luke  12:40 Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of man cometh at an hour when ye think not.

Bible believing believers have no doubt that we are now at the end time.

Everything our Lord said in prophecy concerning His second coming, which will be seven years after the rapture have all been fulfilled.

So day after day,  they must be living as wise virgins awaiting their bridegroom.

Song of Solomon  5:2 I sleep, but my heart waketh: it is the voice of my beloved that knocketh, saying, Open to me, my sister, my love, my dove, my undefiled: for my head is filled with dew, and my locks with the drops of the night.

Matthew  25:1 Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom.  25:2 And five of them were wise, and five were foolish.  25:3 They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them:  25:4 But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.  25:5 While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.  25:6 And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.  25:7 Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.  25:8 And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out.  25:9 But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.  25:10 And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut.  25:11 Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.  25:12 But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.  25:13 Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.

Luke  21:34 And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares.  21:35 For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth.  21:36 Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.

The blessed Holy Spirit admonish you to live in readiness.

Romans  13:11 And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed.  13:12 The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light.  13:13 Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying.  13:14 But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.

1 Thessalonians  5:4 But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.  5:5 Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.  5:6 Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober.  5:7 For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night.  5:8 But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation.  5:9 For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,

Our Lord is coming very very soon. Please live in readiness to avoid been caught unaware.

Matthew  24:44 Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.

Luke  12:40 Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of man cometh at an hour when ye think not.

Let us pray.

Bishop Peter Babalola
