alexleo: Its very easy to make the rapture and here is what you will do-


Hebrews12:14
14 Make every effort to live in peace with everyone and to be holy; without holiness no one will see the Lord.

1 John 2

New International Version (NIV)

2 My dear children, I write this to you so that you will not sin. But if anybody does sin, we have an advocate with the Father—Jesus Christ, the Righteous One. 2 He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world.

1 John 1:9

8 If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. 9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. 10 If we claim we have not sinned, we make him out to be a liar and his word is not in us.

2 Peter 3:12-14

12 as you look forward to the day of God and speed its coming.[b] That day will bring about the destruction of the heavens by fire, and the elements will melt in the heat. 13 But in keeping with his promise we are looking forward to a new heaven and a new earth, where righteousness dwells.

14 So then, dear friends, since you are looking forward to this, make every effort to be found spotless, blameless and at peace with him.

29 But this I say, brethren, the time is short: it remaineth, that both they that have wives be as though they had none;

30 And they that weep, as though they wept not; and they that rejoice, as though they rejoiced not; and they that buy, as though they possessed not;

31 And they that use this world, as not abusing it: for the fashion of this world passeth away.

time is extremely short. the world and its fashion is passing away.

If you missed rapture, it cannot be a fault of God. It cannot be that you have not heard that it would happen. it can be your own fault, only.

Repent and Prepare in Holiness and Righteousness.

TEXTS: REVELATIONS 7: 9-17

REVELATIONS 7:9-17 (KJV)

9 After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands;

10 And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb.

11 And all the angels stood round about the throne, and about the elders and the four beasts, and fell before the throne on their faces, and worshipped God,

12 Saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and might, be unto our God for ever and ever. Amen.

13 And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they?

14 And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

15 Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple: and he that sitteth on the throne shall dwell among them.

16 They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat.

17 For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.


INTRODUCTION

One day, I got an email from one lady-evangelist that I exchange end-times email with. In the email, She narrated a testimony she had on one fateful day. The Lord used the testimony to bless and inspire me a lot. I share the testimony as follows.

My friend said she just finished using the toilet and she was washing her hands in the basin. That was about the third time she used the toilet and she washed her hands, each time, after such use. As she washing her hands, she said she heard a voice, which she recognized, in heart. The Voice asked her ‘why are you washing your hands’? I just used the toilet. I am washing my hands to cleanse any germ I might have contacted. She replied. But, You washed your hand in the morning after using the toilet! The Voice reminded her. Yes, I did because I used the toilet in the morning. Anytime, I use the toilet I wash my hands to cleanse any germs I might have contacted. My friend replied.

Why then do you take the washing of your heavenly garment as less serious and unimportant? The Voice finally asked a question that totally caused my friend to have a change of orientation. Perhaps, my lady-evangelist friend never realized she had an heavenly garment that she needed to take its wash as serious as she washed her hands to prevent infection with germs. Perhaps, She realized she has not measured up to expectations in this regard.

Are you in the same shoes my friend was before she had a change of orientation? Do you know you have a garment God reckons with? Do you even know how to take care of this garment? What exactly is this garment for? How is this garment connected to Rapture? If you do not already know these things, this teaching plans to explore them. Or do you already know about this garment but are complacent in handling it? Why then do you take the washing of your heavenly garment as less serious and unimportant?


WHAT IS THE GARMENT OF RIGHTEOUSNESS?
To answer this question, let us see from the bible whether we can draw an analogy between types of garment and righteousness. We arrive at two major types as follows.

1) FILTHY RAG (GARMENT), Isaiah 64: 6a
6 But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags;

Here, God links a type of righteousness to Filthy rag (garment). If we are to interprete this verse, we can say that, if we are to liken our level of righteousness to the nature of garment we put on, then we can say that all of us are putting on filthy rag and this filthy rag make us, all, unclean. This was the state of any man before he knows JESUS CHRIST. All unrepentant sinners are still like this. No one has power to remove this filthy garment by himself unless He repents in Christ Jesus.

2) FINE LINEN (GARMENT), Revelations 19: 7-8
7 Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready.

8 And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.
Here, God links a type of righteousness to Fine Linen (garment) and says those who will be raptured must be dressed in this garment (see Part 1 of this teaching). Unlike the filthy garment that is unclean, God says this type of garment is fine, clean, and white. When we give our lives to Jesus Christ and became born-again, our filthy rags were removed and we are dressed with the beautiful garment of righteousness, the fine linen. So when we say garment of righteousness in the remainder of this teaching, it is this FINE LINEN, clean and white that we are referring to.


DO YOU NEED TO TAKE CARE OF YOUR GARMENT OF RIGHTEOUSNESS?

YES! There is a deliberate need to take care of your garment of righteousness because Jesus Christ says you must take care of it. Lets read Revelations 16:15

15 Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame.

Jesus Christ said in this scripture above that if you did not keep your garment, when He comes at rapture, you will walk naked and your shame will be seen. The phrase ‘keepeth his garments’ means exactly two things:

1) To keep your garment means to make sure you did not lose or remove your garment.
2) To keep your garment means to make sure your garment is in proper shape; not tattered, nor wretched.

If you lose your garment or remove it, and have nothing to wear, you will be naked and people will see your shame. Also, if you did not keep your garment very well and it became torn, people will still see your unclothedness and you will be ashamed.

The first case of removing the garment is for the backslider. The bible makes us to understand that Jesus Christ is our righteousness. We put Him (Jesus) on like garment. So, when a believer backslides, he has not kept his garment. He has removed Righteousness (Jesus Christ) altogether from his life. He has removed his garment.

The second case is for believers who have not backslided but have unconfessed and unforgiven sins in their lives. All these sins are defilement to them. They tarnish the righteousness of Jesus Christ that they put on as garment. Even though, they are still in Christ and they have not removed their own garments like the backsliders, their garments have become torn and filthy again. Soon, that filthy garment they put on will expose their unclothedness and people will see their shame.

Keeping your garment, like Jesus Christ said, will help you, believer, prevent yourself from the two situations above, arising from not keeping your garment. The next thing is to look how to keep or maintain (wash) your garment of righteousness clean and white. But before that, let us look at why we need to keep our garment clean and white.


IS GARMENT OF RIGHTEOUSNESS IMPORTANT TO MAKE RAPTURE?

Yes! One principal requirement to making rapture is that we must possess garment of righteousness and that it must be holy, white and clean (not filthy) up to the last minute of rapture. Lets briefly look at why this garment and its condition are both necessary at rapture.

1) WITHOUT GARMENT OF RIGHTEOUSNESS, IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO MAKE RAPTURE Mathew 22:11-14

11 And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man which had not on a wedding garment:
12 And he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment? And he was speechless.
13 Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
14 For many are called, but few are chosen.


From the text above, we see how God, The Father, will make the possession of garment of righteousness a prerequisite to be at the marriage supper of The Lamb.

2) IF THE GARMENT OF RIGHTEOUSNESS IS DIRTY, STAINED OR FILTHY, IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO MAKE RAPTURE Ephesians 5:27, Revelations 19:8-9

Ephesians 5:27
27 That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.

Revelations 19: 8-9
8 And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.
9 And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God.

From the two scriptures above, we see that, to make rapture, God expects the garment of righteousness on us to have ‘no spot’, ‘no wrinkle’, ‘ no blemish’ but that it should be holy, clean and white; the exact state it was when we first surrendered to Jesus Christ. So, in order to know how to keep our garment of righteousness clean and white or how to wash it, first, we have to know what can make it dirty (unclean, spotted, wrinkled).


WHAT COULD MAKE GARMENT OF RIGHTEOUSNESS TO BE STAINED, SPOTTED, WRINKLED, AND DEFILED (DIRTY AND FILTHY)?

As we have already shown above that we were in filthy rags before we surrendered to Jesus Christ. These dirty rags just depict how spiritually dirty we were before holy God because of our sins. But when we give our lives to Jesus Christ, He washes away all the sins that brought filthiness to us. He took away the filthy rag and gave us spiritually fine linen of righteousness.

Let us consider 2 cases from the bible

Case 1, Adam and Eve (Genesis 3: 21);
When Adam and Eve fell through sin, they realized they were naked and became ashamed. Their sin exposed their unclothedness, and God put a garment made from the skins (supposedly from an animal) to cover them (Genesis 3:21). By this act, God covered the shame of unclothedness that Adam and Eve were exposed to, through sin. By this act, God laid an example of how Jesus Christ would be slained as a sacrificial animal (lamb) and cover our sin and unclothedness with the garment of righteousness, which is the blood He shed on the cross of Calvary. This was mercy from God. This is why the Bible says Jesus was slain from the beginning of the world, (Revelations 13:cool.

Case 2, Joshua, The high Priest (Zechariah 3:1-4);
Also, consider the case of Joshua the high Priest, (Zechariah 3:1-4), Satan had a legal right to accuse Joshua, the high Priest, because Joshua was adorned in filthy garment. It took God to rebuke Satan for Joshua's sake. God asked them to remove the filthy garment of Joshua. After removing this filthy garment, God said to Joshua that Joshua's sins had been forgiven him. God directly equated Joshua's filthy garment to Joshua's sin. Then, God clothed Joshua with fine linen. Can you see the sequence?

From the 2 cases above, we can see that is sin that can make a believer be without garment or make his garment dirty and filthy. What stains are on your own garment? How have you soiled your garment since Jesus Christ purchased it for you? Is it the stain of lusts, worldliness, and disobedience to God, immoral dressing or some other stains you have on your own garment?


WASH YOUR GARMENT OF RIGHTEOUSNESS
As believers, we are not supposed to commit sins deliberately again. otherwise, we face the fierce wrath of God. However, any sin we commit unconsciously is still a sin and will still be a stain to our wedding garment of Lamb of God and must be washed away.

Our text above is very clear about how to wash our garments from stains of Sins. Revelations 7:9-14 above makes us understand that Apostle John saw the people that will make the rapture and all of them have one thing in
common; they have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. Verse 14 can be expatiated as follows above.


All those that made rapture washed their robes; This suggests that their robes were dirty, stained, spotted or filthy initially.

All of them made their robes white; This suggests that they continued the washing of their robes till all dirts were removed.

They washed their robes in the blood of Jesus.

All the actions above were done deliberately, not by accident. This verse, Revelations 7: 14 was what the Bible summarized in Revelations 19:7-8.

Revelations 19: 7-8
7 Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready.

8 And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.

These two verses imply that the bride of Christ deliberately makes herself ready. So, you can see that to wash your garment is to make yourself ready. Will you wash your garment and make yourself ready? Will you come and wash your garment before Jesus comes? Wash! I say wash!


HOW TO WASH YOUR GARMENT OF RIGHTEOUSNESS

How then do you wash your garment?

Any time you ask God genuinely for mercy and forgiveness of Sins (REPENTANCE) you are washing your garment. This repentance will help you wash away the stains of sins that have come into your life by carelessness, ignorance, or through any other means. These stains will hinder a believer from making rapture if they are not attended to. I do not encourage that a believer commit sin deliberately.

I wash my own garment by saying the following prayer as many times as possible everyday.

Lord, Jesus Christ, have mercy on me. Forgive me all sins. Forgive me all sins that can lead me to hell. Forgive me all sins that can deny me a place in heaven. Forgive me all sins that can make me miss the rapture. Wash me with your blood. Wash my body, soul and spirit. Wash me inside and outside. Wash my garment with your blood and prepare me ready for your coming. Cover me with your blood in Jesus name. Amen.

I say this prayer as many times as possible in a day, even if it is just for 1or 2 minute each time. Sometimes, I say this prayer as many as 10 to 15 times a day or as God allows me. I have attached this prayer to my use of water. Most time I use water for any purpose, I say this prayer. I encourage you also to say this prayer as often as possible in a day. We do not know the day nor the hour that Son of man will come and any little stain of sin will disqualify us. That is why you must wash in his blood all the time to stay blameless.

You can see that, contrary to some believers that say we do not need to ask for forgiveness of sins again apart from the one we asked on the day we give our lives to Jesus, we need to continue repenting till Jesus comes even though we are to avoid committing sins. You also must make conscious effort to run away from sin.


SUMMARY

We have seen that the issue of fine, clean, and holy garment for rapture cannot be waived. It is compulsory and you must wash your garment if you must make rapture, otherwise, people will see your unclothedness at rapture. Wash lust of the eyes, evil thoughts, anger, pride, worldliness that have stained your garments and make them filthy. Once again, wash in the blood of Jesus.


ACTIONS

Are you an elect of Christ? Are you truly saved? Are you on the narrow road? Do you want to make the rapture/heaven? If your answers are yes, then,
• Make all efforts to heed the warnings of Jesus Christ.
• Be watchful. Pay attention to what is happening around the World and see whether they match what the scriptures say.
• Be filled with the Holy Spirit and be in the Spirit all the time.
• Fast, consecrate yourself, run away from sin and worldliness.

If your answers are NO, then you can repent today. Accept Jesus Christ as your Lord.


PRAYERS

If you will like to confess your sins and accept Jesus to save you, say the following prayers, sincerely and faithfully and make a determination never to commit sin again.

Lord, Jesus Christ, I am sorry for all my sins. I confess them with my mouth and I ask for mercy. Please forgive me and wash me in your blood. I accept you as my personal Lord and Saviour. Write my name in the book of life. Give me power over sins and fill me with your Spirit and Joy of Salvation. When rapture trumpet sounds, let me make it. Thank you for saving me. In Jesus name, I pray.

Begin to read bible. Begin with the book of John. Pray always. Fast regularly (you can begin with once in a week). Look for a bible believing church where they teach repentance, holiness, salvation and fellowship with them. Pray before you go. Don’t just go to any church. There are a lot of deceptions out there. If you need our assistance, we can recommend for you, if you email us. Always run away from SINS.

• Lord, Jesus Christ, wash me in your blood.
• Lord, Jesus Christ, remove filthy garment from me.
• Lord, Jesus Christ, adorn me with fine linen.
• Lord Jesus Christ, wash my wedding garment in your blood and make it ready.

TEXTS: REVELATIONS 19 : 6-9

REVELATIONS 19:6-9 (KJV)

6 And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth.

7 Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and HIS WIFE HATH MADE
HERSELF READY.

8 And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.

9 And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God.

INTRODUCTION

The day of rapture is the day of marriage of our LORD, JESUS CHRIST; the day HE will be spiritually married to HIS wife that HE loves so much, The CHURCH. This is a marriage that will be consummated in heaven. This event is supposed to be the blessed hope of true believers at this time.


As most earthly marriages are done with full preparations from both the groom and the bride, this marriage is no exception as regards preparations. I hardly hear of marriages that are done on impromptu. Before marriages, the parents of both bride and groom take a good time to prepare in advance. The bride takes time to select her wedding gown, her wedding shoes and other items ahead of time and ensures they are in good condition before the day of wedding. The groom does no less. He selects his wedding suit, wedding shoes, wedding rings and other items.


As the wedding day draws nearer, both the groom and the bride put on hold any activity that can hinder their wedding. They begin to put finish touches to their preparations. At this time, the only agenda on their schedules is how to conduct a successful wedding. They continue like this until the marriage is eventually hosted.


Once again, the marriage of Our Lord, JESUS CHRIST, is no exception. GOD, THE FATHER of THE GROOM, JESUS CHRIST, is busy perfecting the plans for the marriage of HIS SON, JESUS CHRIST. The Groom, too, is preparing. The MAIN AGENDA on the calendar of GOD, for now, is this wedding of HIS SON. All pointers indicate this.


But, is the wife preparing for this wedding? Many Christians, over time, have disapproved that believers need to consciously prepare for this wedding. When you try to sensitize some believers, they quickly put up a defence for their non-preparation and reply that nobody knows the day. What an excuse for failure is this?


If we examined our text above, we would see that the whole heaven begin to rejoice for 2 reasons: 1) the day of the wedding is come, and 2) the WIFE hath MADE HERSELF READY. The wife was not made ready. She made herself ready. It takes conscious effort to make oneself ready. It takes self preparation.


But why would the whole heaven be rejoicing because the wife is ready and not because the groom is ready? There are two simple reasons. 1) The bride is the cynosure of all eyes in a wedding ceremony 2) Once the bride is ready, it is most certain that the wedding can now hold. Any believer that consciously refuse to make herself ready will be ashamed because she will not be worthy of that wedding.


Thank God. The wedding has not been held, yet. We can now consciously begin PREPARATIONS FOR RAPTURE.

ALL ARE PREPARING FOR THE BRIDE

It is disheartening that majority of believers are not preparing for rapture, the wedding of the Lamb of God. On this all-important day, the earth and all that will not make this wedding, will be impacted in a way that will be too difficult to reverse. All preparations are in top gears but the bride for whom these preparations are done are not sensitive.


May be we should sensitize ourselves on the levels of preparations that are going on in both heavens and on earth so that we can know that we need to prepare, too, perhaps we have been complacent.


GOD, THE FATHER, is preparing.

HE is busy sending invitations to you, even you. Mathew 22:1-4.

1 And Jesus answered and spake unto them again by parables, and said,

2 The kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain KING (GOD, THE FATHER), WHICH MADE A MARRIAGE FOR HIS SON (JESUS CHRIST),

3 And SENT FORTH HIS SERVANTS TO CALL THEM (INVITE YOU) THAT WERE BIDDEN TO THE WEDDING: and they would not come.

4 Again, HE SENT FORTH OTHER SERVANTS, saying, Tell them (YOU) which are bidden, Behold, I have prepared my dinner: my oxen and my fatlings are killed, and ALL THINGS ARE READY: COME UNTO THE MARRIAGE.



JESUS CHRIST is preparing.

HE is preparing to descend with a shout (of joy) to meet HIS wife. 1 Thessalonians 4:16.

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:


The DEAD in CHRIST are preparing.
They are busy preparing to lead the bride to the wedding banquet. 1 Thessalonians 4 : 16

The ANGELS are preparing

14 And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.

The EARTH is preparing.
The earth is preparing to reel to and fro like a drunkard to usher in the Lord (massive earthquake). Isaiah 24: 19-20, Revelations 6: 12
19 The earth is utterly broken down, the earth is clean dissolved, the earth is moved exceedingly.

20 The earth shall reel to and fro like a drunkard, and shall be removed like a cottage; and the transgression thereof shall be heavy upon it; and it shall fall, and not rise again.


The SUN is preparing.

The Sun is busy preparing to give off its light. Joel 2: 31, Mathew 24:29, Revelations 6: 12 31

52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.


IS THE BRIDE PREPARING FOR HERSELF?

We can see that the stakes are high, very high, when it comes to the issues of rapture (the marriage of the bride, the church to the Lord, who redeemed her). Preparations have reached advanced staged.

But what is the bride that all these things are done for, doing? She is busy fornicating with the world. She goes about soiling her wedding garment all around. She makes no effort to put anything in place. She is busy copying the footsteps of her senior sisters, the 5 foolish virgins. She pays no attention to time. She will not learn from her senior sisters, the 5 foolish virgins, who wept bitterly for missing their groom, until she also weeps and gnashes her teeth for missing her own, too.


WILL YOU RATHER PREPARE?

Do the descriptions above fit you? Be sincere with yourself. If the answer is yes, then you are not preparing for rapture. If you continue like this, the door of the wedding banquet might just be shut against you. Mathew 25: 10

10 And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut.

11 Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.

12 But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.


But there is good news, the wedding has not been held. The door has not been shut. You can still enter if you prepare for it. Though, you are lagging behind in your preparation, you can still make it if you hasten up and make up for the time you lost wandering about. It takes time to prepare your wedding garment.

Let the preparation begin.


SUMMARY

This part 1 of the teaching is not really meant for diving into the preparation for rapture but to try to convince you that you have to prepare for rapture, unlike contrary opinion, and to provide a platform for your self-evaluation of how much you have invested towards this wedding.

Now I believe that you have been convinced that there is a deliberate need for you to prepare for the wedding of the Lamb of God. Also, I believe you can evaluate how much you have put into your own preparation.

Part 2 of this teaching, to be released soon, will try to explore biblically, how God expects us to prepare for this wedding. Please join us and let us prepare together.


ACTIONS
Are you an elect of Christ? Are you truly saved? Are you on the narrow road? Do you want to make the rapture/heaven? If your answers are yes, then,

• Make all efforts to heed the warnings of Jesus Christ.
• Be watchful. Pay attention to what is happening around the World and see whether they match what the scriptures say.
• Be filled with the Holy Spirit and be in the Spirit all the time.
• Fast, consecrate yourself, run away from sin and worldliness.

If your answers are NO, then you can repent today. Accept Jesus Christ as your Lord.

PRAYERS

If you will like to confess your sins and accept Jesus to save you, say the following prayers, sincerely and faithfully and make a determination never to commit sin again.

Lord, Jesus Christ, I am sorry for all my sins. I confess them with my mouth and I ask for mercy. Please forgive me and wash me in your blood. I accept you as my personal Lord and Saviour. Write my name in the book of life. Give me power over sins and fill me with your Spirit and Joy of Salvation. When rapture trumpet sounds, let me make it. Thank you for saving me. In Jesus name, I pray.

Begin to read bible. Begin with the book of John. Pray always. Fast regularly (you can begin with once in a week). Look for a bible believing church where they teach repentance, holiness, salvation and fellowship with them. Pray before you go. Don’t just go to any church. There are a lot of deceptions out there. If you need our assistance, we can recommend for you, if you email us. Always run away from SINS.

• Lord, Jesus Christ, do not shut the door of your wedding banquet against me and my family.
• Lord, Jesus Christ. Enlist me as your wise bride.
• Lord, Jesus Christ, forgive me all sins that can make me to miss rapture and the Kingdom of God.
• Lord Jesus Christ, wash my wedding garment in your blood and make it ready.
• Fill me with the grace to watch and pray.


For more information, question or contribution, please send email to us at raptureglorious@gmail.com or jesuscoming@yahoo.com and please tell others to join us.

We will like to get as many people as possible ready for rapture. We wish nobody goes through the great tribulation. What are happening now are child’s play.

Christianity EtcRe: Vision Of Violent Wind/storm Destruction Coming To Lagos, Nigeria. by veecovee: 10:52am On Oct 02, 2013
annyplenty: At around 5.50p.m on Friday, 27/09/2013, I had a dream which I believe is a revelation. It was as if I was coming from somewhere outside of Lagos, Nigeria into Lagos, Nigeria and when I arrived at a particular place in Lagos I could not recognize the area again because a violent wind had caused a lot of destruction to that area in Lagos state, Nigeria. I struggled to recognize the place. I saw a lot of trees that had been uprooted by the wind on the road, I saw lot wreckages. I also saw evidence of rain but I did not know whether the rain came along with the wind or it was after the wind had wrecked havoc that the rain fell. I was filled with tears. As I looked around, I saw my cousin and he asked me if I was just seeing the destruction. I told him I was out of Lagos and that I was just coming back. He said it was wind that did the damage. He said nobody noticed the wind was coming and before it started suddenly. Then I told him that God had been showing me in my dream that wind disaster was coming but now it finally happened. Then, I opened my eyes.


After, I opened my eyes, I looked at the time from my phone; it was 5.57 p.m. I typed what I saw on my phone and saved it. Then, I knelt down and prayed to God for mercy and forgiveness. I asked him in prayer that I will put this dream across on Sunday but if He did not want me to put it across or if the message is not from Him, He should speak to me before Sunday morning, 29/09/2013. That same night, I had the second similar dream. I saw my cousin that I saw my earlier dream in the evening. We were in the same location where I met him in the earlier dream of evening, and suddenly a very violent wind started to blow. We ran to a house to hide there. Immediately; in few seconds, the wind removed the roof of the house. I was scared. Then rain began to fall. It ended. I knew the Lord had confirmed the vision.


I don’t know if this wind that is coming is an hurricane or tornado or typhoon or a superstorm. One thing I know is that it is only REPENTANCE (asking God for mercy and turning away from sins) in CHRIST JESUS that can make GOD, THE FATHER, to repent of His judgment and turn His fierce anger away, also. Jeremiah 18: 7-10

Let us repent and pray for mercy in Lagos state, Nigeria.

Shalom.
JESUS is coming.
Let all kings repent. Let their princes repent. Let the pastors weep between the porch and the altar. Let the elders of the church call a solemn assembly. Let the new bride repent. Let the groom also repent. Let all men repent. Prepare in holiness and righteousness.
Pls fellow nigerians, let us weep unto the Lord and ask for his mercy

Hebrews12:14
14 Make every effort to live in peace with everyone and to be holy; without holiness no one will see the Lord.

1 John 2

New International Version (NIV)

2 My dear children, I write this to you so that you will not sin. But if anybody does sin, we have an advocate with the Father—Jesus Christ, the Righteous One. 2 He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world.

1 John 1:9

8 If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. 9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. 10 If we claim we have not sinned, we make him out to be a liar and his word is not in us.

2 Peter 3:12-14

12 as you look forward to the day of God and speed its coming.[b] That day will bring about the destruction of the heavens by fire, and the elements will melt in the heat. 13 But in keeping with his promise we are looking forward to a new heaven and a new earth, where righteousness dwells.

14 So then, dear friends, since you are looking forward to this, make every effort to be found spotless, blameless and at peace with him.
