READ: LUKE
17:26-30
Peril! This
is one word, which has been written across the canvass of many people’s lives.
Danger is lurking around the corner. Risk is imminent. One of these days, Jesus
will come unannounced. He will hit the skies like a thief in the night.
Careless souls will be caught unawares. The greatest peril in life is for Jesus
to come and you are left behind. This applies to those who are not born-again
and Christians who are not ready. If you are ready, God will preserve you from
the days of tribulations. They are terrible days ahead. Mighty men will cry in
sorrow like a woman in labour. They will weep bitterly. People will bite their
lips in pain. Some people preach that Christians will go through tribulation.
As far as I am concerned, I am not going through the tribulation. Jesus Christ
Himself said His own will not go through the tribulations. Before the flood
came, during the time of Noah, God had moved Noah and his family into the ark.
After he had entered the ark, God Himself shut the door before the rain began
to fall. “But on the day that Lot went out of Sodom i rained fire and brimstone
from heaven and destroyed them all. Even so will it be in the day when the Son
of Man is revealed.” (Luke 17:29-30). Before fire fell on Sodom and
Gomorrah, Lot had already gone. Today, God has prepared an ark of safety. Let
me say this in figurative language: Another flood is around the corner. This
time around, it is going to be a deluge of fire and brimstone. Get into the ark
of safety today and you will escape the coming judgment.
MEMORIZE:
1 THESSALONIANS 4:16 –For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a
shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the
dead in Christ will rise first.
