PREPARATION

The time people spend preparing and watching the path of hurricane Irene you wish they would prepare like that for the coming of Jesus Christ. However, despite mans advance  skills and technology, they could not stop the hurricane. Which proves that God  is still  large and in charge, He is still in control, and the just shall live by faith.

What puzzled me is that people were praying against God’s will and binding the hurricane instead of praying for God to open the eyes of those who don’t recognize His existence and power ,so that their hearts will not stay hard and they can receive Him before it’s too late. We must realize that the natural man receives  not the things of the Spirit of God, because they are foolishness unto them, neither can they know them because they are spiritually discerned (1 Corinthians 2 : 14 ).

This hurricane was a message from God to His children, as a demonstration of His power and wrath. Yes, we are living in perilous times where people are lovers of themselves, ungrateful, unholy, blasphemers, and lovers of pleasures more than they love God. Most people have a form of godliness, yet they deny the power of it(2 Timothy 3:1-5 ).

Amos 4:6-12 shows us everything God did so that His children could return to him, now in the twenty-first century He showing us signs and wonders, for us to be prepared to meet Him. God’s salvation plan is still available for those who want it. He is still patiently waiting and giving people chances to accept and believe His ultimate plan for everlasting life through His only begotten son Jesus Christ (John 3:16-17).

Hebrews 2:1-3 says this: “We must pay more careful attention, therefore, to what we have heard, so that we do not drift away; For if the message spoken by angels was binding, and every violation, and disobedience received its just punishment; How shall we escape if we ignore such a great salvation?”(N I V).

How much hurricanes, natural disasters, tragedies and other things does God have to send before you accept His son Jesus Christ, and believe that God raised Him from the dead?    Just as you were busy preparing for the hurricane, why not prepare to meet God? What are you waiting for? Just like the hurricane was unstoppable, so will Jesus be unstoppable when God decides to send Him for His children.

PREPARATION

Preparation beats elaboration any day. Lawyers always prepare for a case, before they go to court, if they plan to win. Doctors prepare for surgery, before they start operating on the patient. The soldier has to practice before he goes off to war. All occupations require the individual to study and practice as often as possible, in order to be successful at their professions. Everything we do in life we have to be prepared for, the question is, how well are we prepared? How do we prepare? and what are we preparing for?

 As children of God we must be prepared to receive God’s gifts, prepare to submit to God and resist the devil, prepare for Jesus’ return, prepare to fight the good fight of faith, and lay hold on eternal life (1 Timothy 6:12). Preparation is not an overnight thing, and it cannot be done in a day. Preparation starts with  our hearts and minds so we can receive the things of the spirit of God (1 Samuel 7:3; Proverbs 16:1).

However, as Christians we must study to show ourselves approved unto God a workman that needed not to be ashamed rightly dividing the word of truth (2 Timothy 2:15). As soldiers in the army of the Lord, Ephesians 6:15 (AMP) tells us to shod our feet in preparation to face the enemy with the surefooted stability, the promptness, and the readiness produced by the good news of the gospel of peace. We must be ready to spread the good news of the gospel of Jesus Christ over the whole world(Mark 16:15-16). How beautiful upon the mountain are the feet of him who brings good tidings, who publishes peace, who brings good news, who publishes salvation, who says to Zion your God reigns (Isaiah 52:7, Romans 10:15).

 We must let the word of Christ dwell in us richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms,  hymns, and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord (Colossians 3:15).Lets get it together saints, 1 Peter 3:15 tells us, “to be ready to give an answer to everyone that asked us for a reason of the hope that is in us“. We are in the last days, Jesus went to prepare a place for us ( John 14:2), are we preparing for Jesus’ return? Are we walking circumspectly, not as fools but as wise people, redeeming the time, because the days are evil (Ephesians 5:15-16).
