BE PREPARED: Devotion for Wednesday August 12, 2015

BE PREPARED      Wednesday August 12, 2015

Text: Matthew 24:36 – 42     Memory verse: v 42

We ended yesterday’s reading with the question of how prepared are we for the second coming of Christ. Here is admonition to prepare. The Second Coming will happen so suddenly that in the blink of an eye, one of those people may be taken and the other left. The reason is this? One was ready and one was not. Believers must be on guard and alert, constantly ready for him to come at any time. Christ’s second coming will be swift and sudden. There will be no time for last-minute repenting or bargaining. The choice that people have already made will determine their eternal destiny.

Beloved, now is the time to prepare. Have you made the right choice? You must be prepared now or it may be too late. Preparation here demands that you should watch and pray. Watching involves understanding of the time we are in so that when the signs Jesus gave start manifesting, we will know. How prepared are you?

Action: Write down what you can do to prepare yourself for His coming again.


Prayer: Grant me the grace to prepare myself O Lord, before time.


WHEN YOU SEE THESE HAPPENING: Devotion for Tuesday August 11, 2015

WHEN YOU SEE THESE HAPPENING         Tuesday August 11, 2015

Text: Matthew 24:32 – 35                             Memory verse: v 33

Jesus used a parable to answer the disciples’ question regarding when the events He spoke about would happen (24:3). They knew when summer would come by observing a fig tree. The dry, brittle twigs getting tender with rising sap and the leaves coming out were some signs that summer was near. Inherent in this process is waiting patiently. As we can’t hurry the natural cycle of the fig tree, so we must patiently await the Second Coming of Christ because we can’t hurry it.

Matthew 24:33 means that the Second Coming of Jesus is both certain and near. The fulfillment of Jesus’ prophecy would assure the disciples that the other prophecies He had given regarding the End Times would also come true. How prepared are you seeing the others predictions manifesting in our eyes?

Food for Thought: James 9:5


Prayer: Lord, may I not be taken unawares. Help me to prepare for your second coming.
