Shalom! The theme of my ministry for 2010 is Close to Glory! Of course, we will be close to glory because for one thing Jesus may come back for us next year, if by the end of this year He hasn't come. This does not mean that I am predicting that Jesus will come next year. No, I just want us to be conscious of the fact that He will appear without a particular prior notice.
On the other hand we are going to see greater manifestation of the power of the Holy Spirit in our meetings. The Bible says, "The glory of this latter house shall be greater than of the former, saith the LORD of hosts: and in this place will I give peace, saith the LORD of hosts" (Haggai 2: 9). In a normal course of things, the scale of the manifestation of the power of the Holy Spirit should be increasing on a daily basis untill the very last day. But due to human nature and decisions, the scale has been going up and down since inception, and that's changing!
Our programmes will be a lot more impact-full. You don't want to miss such meetings for anything whatsoever. The Word of the Lord, as usual will be direct. The gifts of the Spirit will be more in manifestation too. The anointing, oh mine, will be a lot more profound also.
The reason for this? We're digging deeper than we ever did before into God's spiritual things - His Word and prayer. His Word to saturate us, prayer to get us more immersed into the things of the Holy Spirit, and separation more into the things of God other than the things of this world. (Not getting too entangled with worldly affairs), yet keeping the faith and responsibility to the people who are important to us by not neglecting them.
Are you with me there?
Let's prepare to meet the Lord so that when He comes we will be found truly waiting for Him the way He expects.
Heaven and hell are real places. The coming of Jesus will finalise a lot of things. Whatever decision you need to make before He comes will become an established one, because one way or the other, your indecision will turn out to be your decision. Make sure that your portion in the affair will be good. The Apostle John puts it this way, "Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is. And every man that hath this hope purifies himself, even as He is pure" (1 John 3: 2-3).
Let's do just that, ok?
Till next posting, God bless.
