As we continue to draw closer to a new era, it is becoming more evident that it is unlike anything we have ever seen before! The year 2015 is shaping up to be a very interesting year; God is calling His people in holiness, righteousness and absolute integrity. Many over the years have been going through hardship, and this year seems as if it is the hardest anyone of us has ever been through. But now we need to ask the questions:
1. When was the last time you attended church; paid your tithes, or fasted? (Hebrews 10 v 22-25, Psalms 122.)
2.When was the last time you honored the Lord with the first fruits of your income? (Proverbs 3 v 9-10)
3. When was the last time you truly sought the Lord? (Matthew 6 v 33)
4. What have you done with the talents and gifts God has given you? Are you using those gifts to worship God or help build His house?
5. Are you in obedience, worshiping Him as you ought to and doing what you need to do according to His word in order to be blessed?, (Deuteronomy 12 and Deuteronomy 28)
6. Are you following God’s instruction when He gives it to you to be blessed? (Genesis 22).
7. When was the last time you told someone about Jesus? (Matthew 28: 18—20)
8. Does God fit into your weekly schedule?
Now, God is calling His people to renew their minds according to Romans 12: 1—2 and stay rapture-ready (1 Thessalonians 5 v 1-11; 1 Thessalonians 4: 16—18). A time of blessing and outpouring is coming for the faithful! A time of lamentation is coming for the world and the unfaithful! A shift is already taking place; God is calling His people to be ready and to work in the vineyard for Him! (Matthew 20) and to seek Him first (Matthew 6: 33) and all will be added. Do not seek the things of the world, seek God and trust in Him.
Do what you can to gather, equip and reach the lost and dying, the abused, those who have already given up on life. And remember, Be Rapture-Ready.
