Our Salvation Nearer Than When We First Believed

Besides this you know the time, that the hour has come for you to wake from sleep. For salvation is nearer to us now than when we first believed.(Romans 13:11) 


Salvation simply means to deliver from danger, destruction, sin, sickness or oppression. That is exactly what Jesus gave us when He died on our place in the cross. That salvation contains all that concerns our liberty from sickness, poverty, sin and all oppression.
 However, the salvation the Holy Spirit is writing in our anchor scripture today is about the final deliverance that we believers in Christ are hoping for. That time when the final enemy (death) will be destroyed, when their will no more be sorrow and weeping for the redeemed. It is that time when Jesus Christ will return in glory to take His faithful followers.
We are so close to this time of our final salvation. We ought to know the time but the challenge with this generation is that it is blind to the time. The fulfillment of the prophecies of the end time is the only clock we need to understand urgency of our time but many have refused to see.
God has used several ministers to bring this warning but like people of Sodom and people of Noah's time this Oracles have been ridiculed and despised, that in itself is a further validation: God's word is clear that in the last days people will not endure sound doctrines.
God is calling on us to wake up. It is time to anoint the eye with eye-salve so we do not keep wallowing in darkness. It is time prepare for Christ's return. It is time to watch and pray. God has commanded to warn this generation that His return is near.
The governments of the world do not have the answers and solutions to the many challenges of the end time. They can only speculate and try to bail out water from a drowning boat. Only in Christ is everlasting peace. Our peace in Christ comes from assurance of God's presence and a hope of our final salvation. Wake up and repent.

Make Alliance With Righteous Causes

Scriptural Highlight: ( 2Kings 9:17 ) - "Now the watchman was standing on the tower in Jezreel, and he saw the company of Jehu as he came and said, 'I see a company.' And Joram said, 'Take a horseman and send to meet them and let them say, 'is it well'. So a man on horseback went to meet them and said, 'Thus says the king, 'is it peace?' And Jehu answered, 'what do you have to do with peace? Turn and ride behind me." Our scriptural highlight for today showcases a scene of battle between righteousness and evil. Joram king of Israel belonged to the family of Ahab and Jezebel, people that have troubled Israel with their sorcery, covetousness and blood spills. And a word of prophecy from Elijah had gone out against this evil house saying, "Behold, I will bring evil upon thee, and will utterly sweep thee away and will cut off from Ahab every man-child...(1Kings 21:21). So, in effect, God located Jehu and anointed him to fight...

MY PAST HUNTS ME! HOW DO I DEAL WITH IT NOW THAT AM IN CHRIST?

  DRAW A LINE BETWEEN YOUR PAST AND YOUR FUTURE ! Many people come to Christ daily but battle with the memories of their past life which probably was rough, painful or traumatic. I have seen many people who struggled to live their new found faith in Christ just because a terrible past life comes hunting: I have seen some who got delivered from occult involvements, terrible abuses, sexual lifestyles and other dehumanizing struggles battling to live the Christian life because of the height of what they had been through. For some of them even when God has forgiven their sins, they find it hard to forgive themselves. So the devil takes advantage of the struggle, self condemnation or guilt to hinder their growth in the things of the spirit. But the Bible teaches that, he that is in Christ is a new creation, old things are past away and behold all things are new. No matter what a person has done, as long as the person has not grieved the Holy Spirit, he can be saved. So the...
