Christlike disciples lifestyle, requisite for readiness for the imminent rapture.

Christlike disciple lifestyle, requisite for partaking in the imminent rapture.

John  14:1 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.  14:2 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.  14:3 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.

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

Jesus said these words to His disciples.

Who then are His disciples?

Those who believe on Him and continue in His words.

John  8:31 Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed;

The disciples are followers of Christ that are like Him.

Luke  6:40 The disciple is not above his master: but every one that is perfect shall be as his master.

They desire to pray like Jesus.

Luke  11:1 And it came to pass, that, as he was praying in a certain place, when he ceased, one of his disciples said unto him, Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples.

Disciples are those who do what Christ wanted them to do.

Matthew  21:6 And the disciples went, and did as Jesus commanded them,

Matthew  26:19 And the disciples did as Jesus had appointed them; and they made ready the passover.

Those who joyfully take their crosses.

Matthew  16:24 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.

Mark  8:34 And when he had called the people unto him with his disciples also, he said unto them, Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.  8:35 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel’s, the same shall save it.

The disciples are those who wants to know the truth by asking.

Mark  9:28 And when he was come into the house, his disciples asked him privately, Why could not we cast him out?  9:29 And he said unto them, This kind can come forth by nothing, but by prayer and fasting.

Mark  10:10 And in the house his disciples asked him again of the same matter.  10:11 And he saith unto them, Whosoever shall put away his wife, and marry another, committeth adultery against her.  10:12 And if a woman shall put away her husband, and be married to another, she committeth adultery..

Disciples are those who lived separated lifestyle.

Luke  14:26 If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.  14:27 And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple.

Luke  14:27 And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple.  14:33 So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple.

Disciples are those who keep the commandments of Jesus.

John  14:15 If ye love me, keep my commandments.  14:21 He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.  

14:23 Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.  14:24 He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father’s which sent me.

Disciples are those who are beating fruit, bringing others to Christ.

John  15:8 Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples.

God’s grace can help you to live Christlike lifestyle that will help you prepare for the rapture.

2 Corinthians  9:8 And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work:

The good Lord will help you in Jesus name.

Bishop Peter Babalola
