Is Your Security Sytem Any Good?

"But of this be assured: if the householder had known at what time the burglar was coming, he would have been awake and alert and watching and would not have permitted his house to be dug through and broken into. You also must be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour and a moment when you do not anticipate it." Luke 12:39-40 AMP


Jesus states that just as the owner of a house does not know when the burglar is coming but must be at all times ready to protect his property, so also believers do not know when their Master will return, and should, accordingly, always be prepared in mind and heart. When least expected, He arrives. At an hour that you do not expect Jesus will return. Is your security system any good? Are you telling others about Christ return, but yet, you have not taken heed to the warnings for yourself?

Burglars broke into a New York firm which manufactures burglar-proof glass. To get in, they smashed a big glass-panel door. They got away with about $150 in merchandise. “It never occurred to us,” said the president of the firm, “to put our own burglar-proof glass in the door.” —Gospel Herald
What a story! It seems to me that the owner of the company would have confirmed the worth of their product to be reliable by first testing the product on their own property. But many of us are just like the president of this firm. We have the security in Christ to make it to heaven but are not using what we know and applying it to our own lives. Many Christians today are leaving the doors wide open for the opportunity to be left behind. It would be wise for believers who have not set their security systems for quite sometime to set the alarm so you do not get robbed of your opportunity for heaven when Christ returns.

"Remember, therefore, what you have received and heard; obey it, and repent. But if you do not wake up, I will come like a thief, and you will not know at what time I will come to you." Revelations 3:3 Repent and reconnect, while you are living life your way, Jesus will come when most are in a place where His return will catch them at an unexpected time. Don't let that be you, is your security system any good? Be on guard, never leave your house unprepared, live life ready and connected to Christ at all times. Don't get so busy living life unprotected, this is just our temporary home. Keep your alarm system on, trust me you do not want to be robbed of your opportunity of heaven. If you heard that your house was a target to be robbed, you would be waiting for the thief to arrive and have security sytems in place. Believe what you have heard Jesus return will come like a thief in the night, please be ready.
"Be always on the watch, and pray that you may be able to escape all that is about to happen, and that you may be able to stand before the Son of Man.” Luke 21:36

If you don't know Jesus, now is the time to give your life to Christ. Secure your house, ask Christ to come in and give Him complete control. The decision is worth it, you will never regret choosing eternal life in Jesus Christ. God Bless

    Yeah, my father in law often gets made at me becuase I leave the screen door unlocked. He says that one day someone will come in the home and get our belongigs. I explain it is becuase I grew up in a neighborhood that we could keep the door open. I want my life to be prepared for the return of Christ so that I can have the life I always wanted, a life of joy and happiness.

Bursting Out Of It!

S.E.E.D. For Today:  Scripture: "Is this not the the fast which I have chosen: Loosen the bonds of wickedness." ( Isaiah 58:6 ) Explanation: There should be the right motive when we fast. The people of God in Isaiah observed but there was no change in them. When fasting we do not want to look at it as a religious ritual, but a means to transformation. The fruit of repentance ought to be evident in relationship with one another and our neighbor. If we fast and persist in arrogance, stubbornness, fighting and strife then we are only doing this out of routine. Exercise: Prayer is important to experience the grace and power of God when fasting. Without the consistency of prayer we will not see breakthrough. God is challenging us to do the fast He has chosen, the first means of business is releasing or loosing the bonds of wickedness. Whatever besets itself and entangles you again under the same slave system of missing the mark with God has to let you go. I challenge you ...

UN-DO!

S.E.E.D. For Today: Scripture: "Undo The Heavy Burdens" ( Isaiah 58:6 ) Example: There was a great deal of injustice in the land and with the rich exploiting the poor and the rulers using their authority only to make themselves richer. It was a conflict between truth and lies, just like in our land today. The people of God were no different in operating under the same system as this. But God called them out and wanted them to understand that their fasting was in vain if they did not undo the heavy burden they placed on others while still outwardly devoting themselves to religion or as they thought to God. Exercise: Let's invite the Holy Spirit to solve problems and aid us in lifting loads and overcome barriers that keep us and our loved ones from walking joyfully in the Lord. In self-denying love and care for others, let's undo any heavy burden or untie any yoke that we may have placed upon friends, family, associates or even employees. Devotion: Lord toda...

What to Wear, What Not to Wear!

Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and greed, which is idolatry. Because of these, the wrath of God is coming. You used to walk in these ways, in the life you once lived. But now you must rid yourselves of all such things as these: anger, rage, malice, slander, and filthy language from your lips. Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. Colossians 3:2,5-8,13 TLC has a show entitled What Not to Wear. In this reality tv series family and friends recommend people for total transformation. The concept of the program is to take an individual who has not been able to give up garments that are old and out dated, clothing that leaves them lookin...
