The great day of the Lord is near—very near and coming fast! That day will be bitter, for even the bravest soldiers will cry out in despair! It will be a day of fury, a day of trouble and distress, a day of ruin and destruction, a day of darkness and gloom, a black and cloudy day, On the day when the Lord shows his fury, not even all their silver and gold will save them. The whole earth will be destroyed by the fire of his anger. He will put an end—a sudden end—to everyone who lives on earth. Zephaniah 1: 1:14-15,18 GNT

Knowing that on the day the Lord Jesus returns, He is coming for a Church without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish. So, how pure is your garment?

Knowing that on the day the Lord arrives, only those who are available and are ready with their lamps burning will go in with Him to the wedding banquet. So, what is the condition of your lamp? Is it still burning or it has been quenched?

Knowing that on the day the Lord comes back, His coming will be to settle accounts with all His servants which He had entrusted with His talents. What gain do you have and with how many souls do you have to greet Him?

To appear before Him empty handed, without your lamps burning and with stained garment will mean eternal sorrow, anguish and regret in the outer darkness where men weep and gnash their teeth.

Therefore, be on your watch, be faithful in your walk and service for the Lord and prayerful for it is certain that the Lord will soon return and no one knows when exactly He will come. May the Lord find you faithful when He arrives. Good morning and do have a blessed day.

Your brother,
