Thursday, 18th of October, 2007 – What A Promise!!!

“And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto Myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.” John 14v3 (KJV)

“And when (if) I go and make ready a place for you, I will come back again and will take you to Myself, that where I am you may be also.” John 14v3 (Amplified Bible)

Have you ever been expecting something that you know will surely surely happen, but perhaps not too sure when e.g. a package, or a holiday, or a visit from relatives, or to relatives. One way or the other, if it is a good expectation, it keeps you longing, and desiring and looking forward to.

The other day, I was asked the question why do bad things happen to people who go to church. The response I gave was, do you see them say because of this, we won’t believe in God anymore. No, no, no. Because we have a hope, an expectation – this life is not all there is. So keep on keeping on for He is coming to take you to Himself, and you will give an account of all that you have done in your body – whether good or bad. Hmm.

Have a very blessed day.

Verses for thought:
“These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.” Hebrews 11v13

“For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.” 2 Corinthians 5v10

Our dearest Heavenly Father,
We bless Your holy name, we praise You, we adore You, we give You all the praise and all the glory, all adoration and honour, for You are awesome. Your works are wonders and we love to tell of them. We thank You for Your working in our life, we thank You for the day we would be taken to be with Jesus, we bless You and say You are worthy to be praised even now and evermore. Lord of the Harvest, we pray that You send forth labourers into Your harvest, for the harvest indeed is plenteous, but the labourers are few. Lord God, we pray unto You that is able to keep us from falling, and to present us faultless before the presence of Your glory with exceeding joy, we pray to the only wise God our saviour, and pray that all glory and majesty, dominion and power, be unto You, both now and ever, in Jesus name, amen. Father Lord, please keep us from falling and present us faultless before the presence of Your glory with exceeding joy, in Jesus name, amen. Thank You Father, thank You Son, thank You Holy Spirit of God. All these we pray in Jesus mighty and exalted name, amen.
