TOPIC:  THE ETERNAL DOOM OF A CARELESS PREACHER.   THURSDAY AUGUST 31  
TEXT:  1 JOHN 2:15-17
KEY VERSE: “Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame.” (Revelation 16:15).

Still at the gate of heaven, Michael Thomas Sambo narrated the pathetic story of a careless preacher. He said:

Right there at the gate with Jesus a preacher died that Saturday, 26th April, 2003, between 1.00-4:00 pm and was coming towards the gate. Afar off when I saw him he was dressed in white. This is the garment of Truth, Righteousness, and Holiness which Christ gives believers. From the place I was standing, I could not see any spot on him. He was coming toward the gate of heaven with excitement. He wanted to walk in through the gate. But the angels shouted at him and commanded him to stop. He was asked, “Where are you going to?” “I want to enter into heaven,” he replied.
        
At this time, Jesus fastened his eyes on him and said:

“When I saved you from your sins, I gave you a garment of Righteousness and Holiness of life. I warned you against defiling this garment. Your garment is now spotted with the world. This is not the garment I gave you when I saved you”
     
“The Father is Holy, I am holy, the Spirit is holy; the angels are holy, the saints in heaven are holy, all living creatures in heaven are holy. Above all, heaven has been dedicated unto holy living. Nothing that is defiled, or that worketh abomination or that telleth or loveth a lie shall in any wise enter into it. Therefore man, you cannot enter into heaven.”
   
From today's account we see that it is wise to fear God. Don't claim to be too familiar with GOD, His ways or His word. You must daily examine yourself whether you are still in the faith.

Thought for the day:  Don’t take your salvation for granted. Self-examine your life.
Song for the day: I want to live eternal life, Lord save my soul.
Bible reading for the day: Psalm 145-147; 1 Corinthians 11:1-15

Every Word Of God For Daily Living For taking your time to study remain blessed July Tuesday 9th TOPIC: WE ARE IN THE TWILIGHT HOUR OF RAPTURE TEXT: Ephesians 5:26-27 KEY VERSE: Hebrews 9:28 So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation. Seeing the traces of the features of the next dispensation in this present dispensation, you should know that you are in the twilight hour. What is a twilight hour? A twilight hour is that hour of the day that you begin to see the traces of the night while it is still daylight (probably 7:00pm to 7:30pm). It is not completely dark, yet it is not complete bright either. While it is still day, you are seeing the traces of the night. A twilight hour is the hour when you are still in this dispensation but you are already seeing traces of the next. The twilight hour is the time that our Lord Jesus Christ was born and even though He came with the New Test...
