God bless you for taking your time to study.

CHRISTIAN UNITY IN EXPECTATION OF THE RAPTURE
TEXT: JOHN 14:1-3 

SATURDAY DECEMBER 31st 

Key verse: 2 Thessalonians 2:1 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him,
From the beginning, God exists in three Persons. We cannot talk in detail about Him because it is not given to us on earth to know the fullness of God. The secret things belong unto Him. It is the things that are revealed to us that are for us and our children. God exists in three Persons which is revealed to us in a redemptive way through His Son, Jesus Christ. When Christ came to the world to save mankind, He died and resurrected and when He was to ascend, He told His followers that He is coming back again. He returned to heaven after death and resurrection and promised to come back again. The rapture shall fulfill the promise made in John 14. It will only be experienced by believers to reward them for their labors. 
When sin came through Adam, physical death was appointed for all men but at the rapture, people will be translated and put on glorious bodies to meet the Lord in the air. The Lord will return with us to heaven for seven years, where the marriage supper of the Lamb will take place. The Lord has been saying the church is a wife (bride) to Him and it is at this time that the wedding shall be done. It shall be a great occasion to be witnessed by angels. You shall be dressed by your good works. In this period of seven years, there shall be the judgment seat of Christ where the faithful believers shall receive a reward for their service while others who are unfaithful shall suffer loss. The Lord shall judge our works to determine our reward. The rapture can take place at any time and what is expected of the church is to be ready at all times. 
Revelation 19:7-8 7 Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honor to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready. 8 And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.

Thought of the day: O God, remove confusion from Your church.

Song for the day: He is coming back again my Lord is coming back again.

Bible reading for the day: Malachi; Revelation 22

HOLINESS REVIVAL MOVEMENT WORLDWIDE Daily Devotional EVERY WORD OF GOD FOR DAILY LIVING  _BY_ *PASTOR PAUL RIKA*  Int'l Director        (Holiness Revival Movement Worldwide) THURSDAY NOVEMBER 1 , 2018  _TOPIC:_    *YOU WILL SUCCEED AS CHRIST DID BY PRAYER*           TEXT: John 16: 23-24. KEY VERSE: It came to pass, as He was praying in a certain place, when He ceased, one of His disciples said, Lord, teach us how to pray as John taught his disciples. Luke 11: 1. When Jesus Christ came to us in the flesh, He went into the business of prayer because He was promoting the attribute of God as a prayer-answering God. He would not render that attribute idle or redundant. Nobody knew how John did it, but Jesus reveals here that the success you saw in the ministry of John the Baptist, the victory you saw in his ministry, is because he was a prayer man. John so much valued prayer. He saw the essentials of pr...
