THE KING IS COMING
Introduction
I listened to a recent gospel music track by one of our courageous gospel stars, Nathaniel Bassey, about his encounter in Israel last year, and how God spoke to his heart during a prayer session and he heard the word...THE KING IS COMING!
The King is coming is a reminder for everyone to prepare. Jesus is coming to rapture the saints living and dead. He is coming in glory and majesty, every eye shall see the King on that day!
The track may not mean anything to many people, but for me, it meant the whole world to me and I decided to add my voice to the call by numerous men and women of God for all to repent and prepare for the coming rapture.
We are living under grace right now, but after the rapture, there will be no more grace. The rapture will put an end to grace, and anyone who misses rapture will have to pay with their blood to enter heaven. It will be so difficult for such people to live and do anything without the marks of the beast on their body.
Receiving the mark of the beast means they are no longer redeemable, hell will be the final destination of such Christians. So, this is the time to be serious with God and make sure we are doing what He wants us to do. This is the time to work out our salvation with fear and trembling.
The devil is deceiving people with World peace when we know there cannot be any such peace until the reign of Jesus Christ for 1000 years on earth. They are deluding religious leaders that the peace that Politicians cannot achieve, the religious leaders will obtain, hence the world peace movements.

They are busy recruiting leaders of popular and large denominational churches around the world, while at the same time sponsoring projects and secular movements to keep people busy in the flesh, and if I can shock you, many of them know that the Lord Jesus Christ is coming soon.
That is why they are funding all kinds of groups and societies, NGOs and projects meant to divert people's attention from the coming judgement.
Gathering of World Religion
As I write this message today, I am aware that documents are being signed at the level of United Nations involving the Pope and other religious leaders around the world, meant to unite all religion under one umbrella for 'World Peace'.
These meetings have been going on for years now, but with increased terrorism, corona pandemic etc, they are saying that only religious leaders, Christians, Hindu, Muslims, Hari Krishna etc working together as a group will bring peace on the earth.
The truth is that when they succeed in uniting all the major religion, including Traditional African and other Natives religions together, the focus of faith will no longer be on Christ, but the Antichrist!.
The day they succeed in uniting world religions and make a worldwide declaration, that will be the first global institution of the Anti-christ movement on earth. The organization will have every tribe and religion, every persuasion included and they will start mobilizing the other anti-christ movements together. When you hear they are inaugurated, know that rapture is at the corner.
Beloved, there is no more time...Let the saints prepare to meet their Lord. Let those who are married, live as though they are not married. In order words, Let no husband or wife deceive you, let no friend or colleague mislead you to think that this world will continue in this form for long. The world is passing away.
Many times during deliverance, demons have spoken that the Holy One is coming soon for His people, yet many Christians are not ready for the Lord. Many people are still doing business like the people of the world. Many are still competing with the children of the devil in their fashion, cosmetics and make-up when the bible says they are wonderfully made.
Many people are still bleaching their body and tuning up their skin to impress their lovers and look like TV stars. Some young ones in the university are thinking the Time table of the Almighty should wait for them to complete their degree program and get a job and have family, but no one knows the day. What we know is that the time is up, and rapture can happen any time now.
Some unbelievers may be mocking, others may be doubting saying you people are fighting people with the end-time messages, but the truth is the King, Jesus Christ is coming back very soon. Let the world know that the time is indeed up, and the King is coming. Let the saints arise and resist every temptation to live, walk and talk like the world around them...NO! We are different, we are the Salt and Light of this world, and we have to show it, the King is coming!.

Who is this king?
Jesus is the King, He is not like the earthly kings that rule by force and oppress their people. He is a heavenly King, who came to the world He created over 2000 years ago to show all men the way to live according to God's nature and purpose.
His first coming fulfilled the prophecies in the scripture about Him and how God intends to redeem man out of the hand of the devil who deceived man in the garden. He came to show the ways of the Father to us and to prepare a people who will love, trust and hope in the Living God.
He is seated on the right hand of God The Father, Luke 22:66-69, Eph 1:19.
He is the First and the Last, Rev 1:8, 21:6, 22:13.
He is the Lamb who is worthy, Rev 5:1-5.
He is the creator, healer and redeemer of the World
Everything was created by Him and for Him
Everything is before Him, and nothing can be hidden from His eyes
He is coming back, not like a man again, but as the King to judge the earth with righteousness. There is no specific date and time of His coming, He is not coming like a visiting leader, neither is He coming in the day and time people will be expecting to see Him. He will be coming on a day and time no one knows, so our duty is to keep our garments spotless and sparkling, to be prepared, the King is coming. Micah 1:2-3, Phil 4:5, Rev 22:7, 12, and 20.
He chose us to be Holy
Many people find it difficult to appreciate the cost of the victory the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ gave us over the devil, and so they maintain a lukewarm attitude towards the things of God. He died and rose again that we may have life, and that we might have it more abundantly - John10:10.
The priority of every born again Christian should be to please God and make eternity in heaven when we complete our race here. That is the purpose why we were created, to please the Lord and walk in His ways. The bible says He bought us with His blood. He redeemed us by His blood and chose us to live holy. He made us acceptable unto God, and abounded unto us in all wisdom, having predestined us for sonship - Ephesians 1: 4-10.
So, this message is meant to remind you, whom Christ has quickened by His grace, to prepare for His return. I want you to understand that the prophesy in 2 Timothy 3:1-7 has been fulfilled before our eyes and it is time to serve the Lord in an acceptable manner. 2 Timothy 3:1-7 says:
This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
1. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
2. Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
3. Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
4. Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
5. For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,
6. Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.- 2 Tim 3:1-7
All these are the daily experience of people all over the world. This week a man killed his wife and all his children, before killing himself - No natural affection.
People hate the truth, as long as that truth is against them. Many people are in jail today for speaking the truth, not lies. People can pay any amount to have the pleasures of this life, while they have no plans to support the work of God or do the work of evangelism.
People can break any agreement and even covenants without blinking an eye. Look at how people break their marriage vows at the slightest provocation, hoping to marry another person within weeks. Many people have as many as seven degrees and three PhDs. Yet ask them what they are doing now, they will say post PhD degree.
Ever learning, but never able to come to the knowledge of the Truth. The Truth is Jesus Christ. They know everything except the truth that will set them free.
Child of God, this is not the time to go to church to socialize or attend meeting for the sake of it, NO! it is time to get serious with the things of God.

Why Is Jesus Coming Back?
Because He promised to return. John 16:16 and 22
Because there is darkness in the land. Mark 13:8, 12, Matt 24:37, Gen 6:11
Because He is coming for His own. John 14:2
He is coming to judge the nations of the world, Obadiah 1:15, Jer 25:31
How Do We Prepare For His Return?
1. Confess, repent and forsake the way of sin, Luke 15:17, 1 Cor 10:12.
2. Believe in the Son of God, Jesus Christ,
3. Receive Him into your heart, as your Lord and Saviour and be saved from death John 3:15-16.
4. Focus on living right before God.
Focus on living right before God.
a. Live a Word-filled life by studying the Bible
b. Obey the word of God and apply them into your life
c. Seek first the kingdom of God and its righteousness, Matt 6:33.
d. Build yourself up in godliness, 1 Tim 4:8.
e. Live righteously, Rom 12:2, John 17:15.
f. Live in the spirit always, Gal 5:16-18.
g. Pursue after righteousness, Pro 8:20, 21:21, 1 Tim 6:11, Rom 14:12.
h. Preach the gospel, Mark 16:15, Isa 52:7
i. Set your heart on things above, Col 3:1, 1 Cor 3:13, 2 Tim 2:11, Matt 3:3, Mark 1:3, Luke 3:4.
5. Put on the following
We should be renewed in the Spirit by His Word through daily study and meditation on the scriptures, obeying to do all the bible says. Take deliberate steps to put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts:
a. Put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness, do away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour: for we are members one of another.
b. Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath, neither give place to the devil.
c. Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labour, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth. Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.
d. We should not ignore or refuse instructions from the Holy Spirit. Grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption. Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice: Eph 4:22-31
6. No Fellowship with Darkness
Brothers and sisters should have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness. Never think of using your body to get what you want, that is ungodly. The idea is from the devil, who justify evil works of men. Before now, this was associated with women, but today, men and boys use their body to get favour from rich women, and the question is "Where will you go with such favour?" - Hellfire. May you never be among them.
The sin of the body is one of the most difficult sins to play with. The devil has used it to destroy man in all generations. The bible says that the Lord will shield those that love Him from the twinkling eyes of women of darkness. In our world of today, such women are no longer prostitutes. The whole world lies in darkness and the devil can use any ungodly woman to do anything, including prostitution anywhere.
We must all be discrete with our body, to make sure that fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, is not named among us, who have accepted Christ as Lord. Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient should proceed out of our mouth, but rather giving of thanks.

We should be followers of Christ indeed, walking in love as Christ did. Let every Believer walk worthy of the vocation wherewith he/she is called, with all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love.
7. It is time to:
7. It is time to:
1. Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
2. Shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness.
3. Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart.
4. But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they do gender strifes.
5. And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient - 2 Timothy 2:15-24
It is time to live for Christ, who created you for His pleasure, it is time to embrace holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord. It is time to prepare for the rapture, which could happen at any moment from now.

I pray that you will see the urgent need to change from every evil way, crucify your flesh and kill the 'old man' of sin in your life and serve the Lord happily.
CONCLUSION
I don't know your priorities and the business or personal decision that is hindering you from serving the Lord and witnessing Christ to others. Make time to witness the coming Jesus to sinners around you, the Lord is coming.
Let us pray for His mercy, and grace to be found in Him when He shall come. Let no temptation, money, husband, wife or children hinder us, the King, JESUS CHRIST IS COMING - Matt 1:19-21. Rom 14:9, Heb 12:1-2.
God bless you.
