Question = "How can I be ready to be caught up in
the Rapture?"


Answer = It is much simpler than you may think. The
short answer is that you must receive Jesus Christ
as your Savior. Now for the long answer. When you
ask this question, we assume that you have heard
that not all Christians will be taken when the
Rapture occurs. You probably have been told that
only "super Christians" who are living a holy life will
be raptured, and all the other Christians will have to
suffer through the Tribulation. This is not true, and
we will show you why this is not true from
Scripture.


The first thing that you must understand is the
purpose for the Tribulation. The Tribulation is a
time of judgment on the earth and punishment for
Israel. Please note that Israel and the Church are
not the same group of people. The Church is a
spiritual organism. People in the Church are related
because of their spiritual birth (by being born again
- John 3:3 ). The people of Israel (Jews) are related
by blood. This is a race of people to whom God
made special promises in the Old Testament. God
declared a time of judgment upon Israel for their
unfaithfulness. This time of judgment is clearly
declared to be only for Israel (Daniel 9:24-27 ).
Gabriel brought a message from God to Daniel
(9:20-21). Daniel 9:24 says, "Seventy weeks have
been decreed for your people and your holy city, to
finish the transgression, to make an end of sin, to
make atonement for iniquity, to bring in everlasting
righteousness, to seal up vision and prophecy, and
to anoint the most holy place." In this message
Gabriel specifies to Daniel that the time is "for your
people." Daniel's people were Jews, the nation of
Israel. God declared 70 weeks against the nation of
Israel. This “70 weeks” is literally in the Hebrew “70
sevens.” In other words, 70 times 7 years, or 490
years. Of those years, 483 (69 times 7) of them
were fulfilled from the end of Israel's captivity in
Babylon to the cutting off of Messiah (the
crucifixion of Christ). This leaves 7 years of
judgment yet to be fulfilled. Those 7 years are the
years of the Tribulation. The point is that this
prophecy concerns Israel primarily, and the purpose
of the judgment is "to finish the transgression, to
make an end of sin, to make atonement for iniquity,
to bring in everlasting righteousness, to seal up
vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most holy
place."


Now, we can also demonstrate from Scripture that
Christians will not be in the Tribulation. A study of 1
Thessalonians 4:13 through 5:9 shows this. In this
passage Paul writes about the Rapture and the Day
of the Lord. First Thessalonians 5:9 gives Christians
this promise: "God has not destined us for wrath,
but for obtaining salvation through our Lord Jesus
Christ." Pay close attention to this verse. Paul says
God has not destined us for wrath, specifically the
wrath of the Day of the Lord (5:2).


Further evidence that Christians will not go through
the Tribulation comes from 1 Corinthians. In that
letter Paul sharply rebukes the believers for being
carnal Christians. But in chapter 15, Paul writes of
the Rapture, and he never indicates that any of the
Corinthian believers, carnal though they were, would
be left behind. True believers in Jesus Christ will
not have to endure the Tribulation.

N.B

Also Apostle Paul that wrote to the Christians in Thessalonica in 1st Thessalonians 4:13-18 by the leading of the Holy Spirit did not say any Christian will be left behind..... instead the criteria for Rapture is for the Christians dat are ALIVE AND REMAINING at the time of Rapture!! The Holy Spirit through Apostle Paul did not discriminate against any Christian during Rapture. It is for ALL BELIEVERS IN CHRIST!!!!!

1 Thessalonians 4:13
But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.

4:14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him
.
4:15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.

4:16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:

4:17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

4:18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words.


The only way you will be left behind in the Rapture
is if you have not received Christ as your Savior.

There's nothing like partial rapture.

Jews and Christians are God's covenant people through Abraham and Jesus Christ. Because Jesus is related to both and He is Christ, both Jews and Christians will be severely persecuted by antiChrist in the last days. This is what properly and fully makes him antiChrist.

It is not only Jews that the Beast will persecute otherwise he will just only be antisemitic.

The KJV uses 'tribulation' to refer to persecution and sufferings of God's people in the hands of Satan and his earthly agents at least 22 out of 25 times the word appears in the Bible.

When unbelievers and backsliders are punished by God, the word used in KJV is 'wrath' of God. Committed believers are not set for God's wrath BUT are always set to receive satanic persecution. The agent in the end time is the antichrist.


THE CHURCH WILL ESCAPE GOD'S WRATH EXECUTED BY THE LAMB BUT NOT SATAN'S WRATH EXECUTED BY THE BEAST!

Politically correct diplomacy. I respect the US. They are masters in the art of double speak. The US is politically sunni moslem ally. That seems obvious enough. I don't think the shiites are deceived by the statement.
Maybe I'm wrong!

Very mean!

Sorry about this.
We have chronic diseases when we are exposed to disease causing agents in the air, water, food, drinks, cosmetics, drugs (legal and illegal), etc, everywhere over many years during which time because we FEEL WELL we wrongly assume that we are healthy until the body now breaks down.
The breakdown may have become irreversible by any means even outside Nigeria or possibly reversible by unconventional alternative approaches but these are not sought due ignorance or negligence because the conventional modern medicine is helpless and insists that there is no other way.
The health destroyers include pollutants and contaminants in air, water and food, refined sugar, refined salt, vegetable oil, tobacco, alcohol, refined flour, msg, aspartame, GMO foods, etc, etc.
We don't have adequate rest and relaxation nor sleep. Little or no exercise.
IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO DO THE SEARCH YOURSELF. EACH PERSON IS THE ARCHITECT OF HIS HEALTH. DONT WAIT UNTIL YOU'RE SICK TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT YOUR HEALTH.
SEEK HEALTH INFORMATION AND EDUCATION AND PRACTICE HEALTHY LIVING. PREVENTION IS BETTER THAN CURE!

Romans 4:5
But to him who does not work but believes on Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is accounted for righteousness,

What do you think righteousness is about? Something you
do or something you are? Right doing or right being ?
The Bible tells us that after Jesus’ sacrifice at the cross, God imputes righteousness not to those who strive to obey the law (Galatians 2:16), but to anyone who believes in His Son. Because Christ took our sins and gave us His righteousness (2 Corinthians 5:21), the moment we believe in Him, God treats us as righteous apart from our works or obedience. (Romans 4:5– This is new covenant righteousness—a righteousness that comes by faith and not works.

You are not righteous because of how morally upright you are. You are not righteous because you exercise self-control. You are not righteous because you read 10 chapters of the Bible daily. You are not righteous because you feel righteous. But you are the very righteousness of God in Christ solely because the sacrifice of Jesus made you so. When you believe this, your faith is accounted for righteousness.

And this is what God wants you to use your faith for. If you are righteous by your deeds, you don’t need faith. You also don’t need faith to know that you are sinful. But you need faith to believe and declare that you are the righteousness of God in Christ, in the midst of your struggles with temptation and sin.

For example, when you feel lousy because you have just shouted at your wife, God wants you to exercise your faith to see yourself as still righteous in the midst of that failure. This living revelation that you are still righteous will give you the strength to love your wife and reconcile things with her.

The devil may remind you of your foul temper and question your integrity: “How dare you call yourself righteous when you just did that!” Just ignore his lies and boldly declare, “I am not righteous because of what I have done or not done. I am righteous only because of the blood and finished work of Jesus at the cross!”

Thought For The Day

You are the very righteousness of God in Christ solely because the sacrifice of Jesus made you so.

www.josephprince.org/daily-grace/grace-inspirations/single/righteousness-is-not-right-doing-but-right-being/

Both.
Right being, first; which makes right doing acceptable by God.

THIS IN A SECULAR STATE?
PEHARPS YOU NOW UNDERSTAND TRUMP BETTER!

TonyeBarcanista:
What concerns God and election? Does he mean that God was sleeping when Iceland elected a Lesbian PM? Does he think American politics is about religion that we play here?

Okupe may be telling the truth, though many don't respect him for obvious reasons and many who hate God, Jesus, Christians and the Bible wouldn't give him any serious attention.

God is God of the earth. No one needs to believe or accept that. But He remains God. Satan, according to the Bible, is god of this world system and prince of the power of the air. For now, he is in control of the world.

America is too important to God and Satan, more than Iceland FOR OBVIOUS REASONS to leave to chance in this end times when each wants to establish HIS / his will.

For now this is Satan's world. That's why evil is rampant at all levels of human existence. However, again the Bible makes one realize that God who owns the earth will occasionally intervenes in the affairs of mortals especially to make a statement about His sovereignty particularly when issues affect His covenant peoples and His Word.

Samguine:
Former media aide to ex-President Goodluck Jonathan, Dr Doyin Okupe has expressed joy over the emergence of Donald J. Trump as the President-elect of the United States of America.

Okupe on Wednesday on his Facebook page said Trump “contested against the entire american establishment” and won.

Quoting from Psalms 33 verses 10 and 11 of the the Holy Bible, Okupe wrote, “The Lord bringeth the counsel of the heathen to nought, He maketh the devices of the people of non effect. The counsel of the Lord standeth for ever.”

He also quoted from Psalms 2 verses 1, 2, and 4 adding, “Hillary Clinton, her husband Bill and the Democrats are the protagonists of liberalism in America. They encourage homosexuality, same sex marriage and all sorts of societal immorality in the USA. To make matters worse in July this year Hilarry publicly stated that, the words of the Bible (the Word of God) be changed to accommodate “current” social realities. What a blasphemy against Jehovah, the maker and ruler of the universe, the God of all flesh, the only living and Supreme God. The bible says “the word of God is settled” how can we imagine that God will allow someone who will change His word to have power! Vanity and nothing short is of vanity.”

Okupe also said Trump’s victory was a clear indication of the “awesomeness of God”.

“The events of today is a robust testimony to all, christian and non Christians, about the awesomeness of this God, who has ridiculed all the so-called Principalities and Powers of the world and has used the foolish things of this world to confound the wise men of the world.

“God is going to usher in a new order in the world and its affairs. Only the righteous will prevail.

“For this historic victory, of a man with no experience in politics or public or military service, We give ALL Glory to the Almighty God and His Son Jesus Christ to whom all honour, praise and adoration, is due.”

At times I laugh when people say FG will shut down MMM as if mmm is one shop at ebutte-meta, oyingbo or Alaba market, as if MMM is one company at Agbara industrial estate.my take, if FG can not stop u from browsing the internet,they can't stop u from access and runing ur mmm account. Let me shock u. MMM program is not a program that started yesterday. it has survive tougher periods than this. It passed through fierce fire, yet it came out refined, crystal sparkling and purer than GOLD. your own MMM can only stop when you as a participant stop to participate. Clever sergey mavrodi saw the feature and designed MMM not to depend on anybody to survive. So, with this Strength of MMM, it is possible for MMM to stop existing in a country but mmm can never stop being in existence. Remember there are over 7billion people all over the world. Your country is just a fraction. In short who u be? Also it is possible for only you in ur country to be the only one doing mmm. That is why we have the Bitcoin which connect u to global bank and every other people in other part of the world doing mmm. If u think u don't want to continue with mmm because of what u heard, I beg park well, and let people that dare big things take the center stage of the new financial revolution that bridge the cap between the rich and the poor. The battle of life maybe for everyone, but those that conquer their fears and dare big things are called achievers. In conclusion, always remember this, with or without you mmm will achieve it's goal which is to raise multi-millionaires, why don't u face your fears today, join us in the battle for financial freedom and be counted among the self-made millionaire courtesy of MMM. Nobody can stop u from achieving what u desire except you stop urself. Together we can do alot.

I DON'T KNOW MUCH ABOUT MMM, THOUGH SOMEONE TRIED TO EXPLAIN IT TO ME.

IM NOT SURE IF ITS 419 OR NOT.

MY TAKE IS THIS:

PEOPLE YOU HAVE ALMOST NOTHING FOR SAY THEY WANT TO TAKE A RISK TO GET SOME RETURNS FOR SOME INVESTMENTS YOU SAY THEY SHOULD BE BANNED.

THEY CAN HARDLY GET JOBS OR LOANS. THEY DON'T WANT TO STEAL OR COMMIT OTHER CRIMES FOR MONEY. YOU DONT BAN TOBACCO AND ALCOHOL AND FOOLISH BETTING.

MOST IMPORTANTLY NO ONE SEEMS TO HAVE COMPLAINED OF BEING SCAMMED OR CALLED POLICE OR GO TO COURT.

I THINK THE ECONOMIC AND FINACIAL ESTABLISHMENT WHICH USES POOR MAN'S MONEY TO BENEFIT THE RICH IS JITTERY. THEY HAVE THEIR ILKS IN POWER AND WANT THESE TO USE THEIR POSITION TO BLOCK THE PARTICIPANTS WHILE THEY EARN UNHEARD OF PAYS AND STILL STEAL MORE ELSEWHERE.

THEY WANT TO KEEP THE STATU QUO. SO THAT PEOPLE WILL GET POORER AND POORER AND THEY RICHER AND RICHER. IS IT THEIR MONEY THEY ARE USING TO DO MMM?

HOW SATAN USED TBJ

1) HE RAISED HIM TO DECEIVE THE WORLD THAT HE IS A MAN OF GOD.

2) HE DECEIVED HIM TO MAKE A FALSE PREDICTION SO THAT CHRISTIANITY and CHRISTIANS WILL FURTHER BE GIVING A BAD NAME IN ORDER TO HANG US BY ATHEIST AND OTHER HATERS OF CHRIST.

THIS IS PART OF THE END TIME SCENERIO

(EVEN IF HIS PREDICTION HAD BEEN CORRECT, TBJ REMAINS A FALSE PROPHET)

JESUS IS LORD!

nwakaibeya1:
JesusChrist is about genuine UNBELEIVABLE power and if you claim to know Jesus Christ as we do and cannot exhibit unbelievable power for evil ones to fear you and be afraid Of you then you must check your Jesus.the era of I am bornagain without power is over. Beign bornagain means that evil people around you must know that you have unbelievable power and by extension reverence and fear you and will even be the ones to accuse you of beign a witch and wizard remember those also accused Jesuschrist of beign evil because they could not pin down his source of unbelievable power so they credited their master the devil to it and if you are bornagain and have no accusations of such it means you must check your bornagain. I have spoken and those who knows about the spiritual read me and understand the utterance. Power talks, not empty critics. Look before you leap. Kingdom of Jesuschrist has come back to revenge and judge human beings of the world and this is a preveleged truth and revelation that if you are wise you must take it seriously for you to escape the judgement. God always comes in a foolish way, Remember God who said he will come like a thief is still the same God today?the unchangeable changer

DON'T GET YOU. WHAT EXACTLY ARE YOU SAYING? THAT TBJ IS GOD'S SERVANT? OR NOT?

Sanchez01:
My point exactly!!!!

Follow Christ and ignore these men. Period!

Correct!

We must follow Jesus and follow those leaders who follow Him. But if and when a leader who began following Jesus now depart from sound doctrine, the sheep must flee to the True Shepherd and still faithful servants of His who continue to represent and stand for Him.

But TBJ even never began with Jesus ab initio.

tigonana:
Christianity is a scam!!!!
Quote make thunder fire u.

In your foolish hatred of Christianity you equate TBJ, a fake prophet, to Christiandom, when in fact, in the true sense of who a Christian is according to the NewTestament, he is not a child of God nor ever has been.

Jesus have TWO natures .

and you are telling me they are equal in nature , how are they equal in Nature ? explain

No, allow the Holy Spirit Himself do it.

1 Corinthians 2:11 For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.

1 Corinthians 2:12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.

1 Corinthians 2:13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.

1 Corinthians 2:14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

thanks, but all I know is that if u consume soft drinks u die if u don't u die too.

People need good health even in old age. We should aim at aging gracefully. Sickness can be prevented. Sickness not only affects the sick it affects family members who are taking care of the sick.

Some people are so sick they wish to die but death wont come. Too many of us take our health for granted. We think it will always be there. We do little or nothing to deliberately preserve it. We only act when we break down. Sometimes its too late even when we go to India.
