WHEN THE CLOCK STRIKES MIDNIGHT

WHEN THE CLOCK STRIKES MIDNIGHT    Matthew 24:3, "As Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately. “Tell us,” they said, “when will this happen, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?” Brothers and Sisters, the disciples' question on the Mount of Olives remains one that has echoed through the ages. It's a question filled with a mix of anticipation and trepidation – when will our Lord return, and how will we know? Jesus, in His wisdom, provides not a precise calendar date but a series of signs and a timeless call to readiness. BODY  The False Alarms Jesus begins by warning us about false alarms. He says, "See that no one leads you astray. For many will come in my name, saying, 'I am the Christ,' and they will lead many astray." Throughout history, there have been countless self-proclaimed messiahs, prophets, and doomsayers. They prey on the faithful, manipulating fear an...

THE GREATEST IS ABOUT TO BE SEEN

    THE GREATEST IS ABOUT TO BE SEEN Brothers and Sisters in Christ, Today, I stand before you with a message that stirs my soul – a message whispered on the wind, a promise etched in the stars: THE GREATEST IS ABOUT TO BE SEEN! We live in a world that bombards us with fleeting greatness. Powerful leaders rise and fall. Fortunes are made and lost. Yet, the Bible reminds us in Matthew 6:19: "Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal."

Turn with me to the book of Isaiah, chapter 40, verse 5: "Every valley shall be raised up, every mountain and hill made low; the uneven ground shall become level, and the rough places smooth."  Here, the prophet speaks of a coming transformation, a time when the world as we know it will be reshaped. This is not merely a promise of a changed landscape, b...

JOHN 3 FROM THE BIBLE

Image
In the timeless tapestry woven by the words of the apostle John, we embark on a journey of introspection and revelation. As we delve deeper into the epistle addressed to Gaius, we are beckoned to unravel the layers of wisdom and guidance encapsulated within its verses. With every turn of phrase and subtle nuance, John's timeless message echoes through the annals of history, transcending the barriers of time and space to resonate with us today. The humility and maturity embodied in his choice to be known simply as "the elder" serve as a reminder of the power of self-effacement and the enduring legacy of a life well-lived in service of faith. In Gaius, we encounter a figure whose very existence embodies the virtues extolled by John - steadfastness in the face of adversity, compassion towards fellow believers, and unwavering support for those spreading the message of Christ. Through the contrasting examples of Gaius and Diotrephes, John paints a vivid portrait of the choices...
