TOPIC: HE IS COMING
TEXT: MATTHEW 24:36-44
36 But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.
37 But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,
39 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
40 Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
41 Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
42 Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.
43 But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up.
44 Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.
Key Verse: “But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be”(Matthew 24:37).
MESSAGE:
“Durry, why are you living your life like this? Why not give your life to Christ today and become a new creature, because tomorrow may be too late oh!” These were the gentle words of Durry’s mom who was now seriously worried about the terrible life her daughter was living. Durry replied, “Please mom leave me alone, let me enjoy my life to its fullest, when l am married or about to die, I will repent and go straight to heaven, please allow me to enjoy first.” “Ah! My dear there is no enjoyment in sin, the real and best enjoyment you can get is in Christ Jesus, tomorrow may be too late oh!” The mom still cautioned but Durry remained unyielding. “Mom, this is what everyone has been saying since I was born till now, yet Jesus has not come. So, He will not come till I am ready. Please I need to go out.”
Are you like Durry who desired to gain the whole world at the expense of her soul? Why not come to Christ today, tomorrow may be too late. We all await the second coming of Christ. The word of God tells us that He will come like a thief in the night. No one knows the day, time or seconds that He will come. However, every child of God should always be ready for Christ’s coming. Obey the word of God and be holy. Live your life as if Jesus will come today.
Prayer: Father, help me to be ready and prepared for Your coming and to be with You in heaven at last.

2. Repent now. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out ...[for] if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness " (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9)
3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
