TOPIC: RAPTURE: PURPOSE AND QUALIFICATION

MEMORY VERSE: ‘’In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you." - John 14:2

BIBLE PASSAGE: John 14:1-6

INTRODUCTION:
Our last lesson revealed the meaning of the word, rapture. We also discovered events surrounding the rapture as regards timing and other issues. Today's lesson will show us the reasons and the qualification for rapture. May the good Lord teach our hearts and bless our lives with His truth by His Spirit, in Jesus' name.

LESSON OUTLINES
1. Why will the rapture take place?
2. Who will be rapture?

WHY WILL THE RAPTURE TAKE PLACE?
1. To resurrect the just of all ages from among the dead (1Thessalonians 4:13-17).
2. To take the saints out of the world before the tribulation (2Thessalonians2:7-8; 1Thessalonians 1:10).
3. That Jesus Christ might present to Himself a Church without spots or wrinkles (Ephesians 5:27; John 14:1-3).
4. To transform or change the bodies of all faithful saints from mortality to immortality (Philippians 3:20-21; 1Corinthians 15:42-44, 51-53).
5. To assemble the saints at the marriage supper of the Lamb (Revelations 19:7-9).
6. To allow the revelation of the anti-Christ (2Thessalonians 2:1-4).
7. To present saints to God the Father (Jude 24)
8. To make the saints become like Christ at His appearance (1John 3:2-3).

WHO WILL BE RAPTURED?
1. Those who are in Christ at His coming (John 1:12; 2Corinthians 5:17).
2. Those who earnestly desire His appearance (Titus 2:13; Philippians 3:20).
3. Those who love the Lord wholeheartedly (Philippians 3:7-10; John 21:15-17).
4. Those whose citizenship is in Heaven (Philippians 3:20-21; Ephesians 2:19).
5. Those who will live holy even as He is holy (1Peter 1:16; Hebrews 12:14; 1John 3:1-3).

CONCLUSION:
Let us be sober in watchfulness, always fellowshipping together and keeping the unity of the faith in the bond of peace (1Thessalonians 5:6; Hebrews 10:25; Ephesians 4:3).

Na today! Wetin my Great-grand father wait for wey e no see, na me go con see am.... #storyForTheGods

I beg let's talk about who will win the next Champions League!

Catching away, a.k.a Rapture, is a program of calling those who belong to JESUS from this earth into the heavens to meet the Father of our Lord Jesus. The dead in Christ shall rise first, for we who are alive shall not by any means overtake those who were asleep. In a twinkling of an eye, we shall hear the sound of the last trump.

Meaning, many trumpets shall sound before the LAST trumpet. The last Trumpet is to perfect the salvation of the saints and that of their mortal bodies. So, when you hear the shout of the Lord, the voice of the archangel in charge of this last program, and the Trump of God, then it is time for the convergence of the Saint.

Now, the trumps are sounding and these are the voices given to the archangel Michael, that as they are being blown, the program of our redemption will be clear, revealed and the scriptures will open to us.

Maranatha--(the blessing of the end) Come Lord Jesus.

Seun ask people if they are Christians too , before they can comment and accept Jesus. Like u do for islam


This is nairaland not islamland

Nice one.....God bless us

deepwater:
Seun, please explain, why the Muslim folks do not have to swear
"I believe that there no god/God but JEHOVAH."
"I believe that JESUS CHRIST OS THE ONLY SON OF God."
‘’ הוא לא כאן הוא עלה''

Before commenting on Christian thread, Christian folks can I get a 1000(signatures) likes for this petition to be fully implemented, this is completely not acceptable and we cannot afford to keep quiet on this any longer.



IYKE926, if you open a thread for this, i would never reach FP, they would ban you for life, the way they wil hit the gravel self your system / phone casing go crack. Mind you my moniker would be banned very soon, for asking for this in the first place. This guys 93are bad like that, so if you do not see me soonest, just know i have paid the price for asking It is a cult in here bro. Just look below, three (3) comments hidden already

I know they breed lot of hate and they are angry muh f**kaz. Maybe you should ignore the urge of snooping into the enemy zone like an undercover agent.

Many NLs have asked seun to take out the "I believe in allah bullcrap clearance thing before visiting the thread for a long time but be refused. I believe he has been paid not to take it out.

I have been banned lot of times. I don't visit that place again. There are lots of irritating comments and funny reasoning that I can't stand.


Good luck!!

Here we go again
