Seeds of Destiny (Daily Devotional)

MEETING WITH JESUS

SCRIPTURE:  “Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man” – Luke 21:36.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: To follow the fashion of the world is to end where the world is ending – eternity in hell fire!

Our teaching today is in form of a Question. It is the question of the dignity and modesty of our appearance. If Jesus Christ, the King of kings summons you to meet with Him, can you appear before Him the way you are?

Supposing there is a need for you to physically meet with Jesus Christ now, would you meet Him with your chest opened, cleavage exposed? Would you meet Him in those seductive trousers? Would you meet Him in those artificial things that have transformed your face and almost turned you into a masquerade?

When I see some people who claim to be born again Christians going to Church, it surprises me, because their look is not different from that of a Jezebel (Immoral and seductive woman) on the street.

Do not explain away your immodest appearance with the fact that you have faith. Faith is not just on the inside; genuine faith should also find expression on a person’s outward appearance.
The truth is, when we get to eternity there will be many surprises: “I am a church worker” will not mean anything to God then. Always dress the way you will be comfortable to appear before the Master. To follow the fashion of the world is to end where the world is ending – eternity in hell fire!

Beloved, it is not a matter of rules and regulations; it is a matter of what you will be comfortable with when you appear before Jesus and your conscience is justified. Appear like that!

Remember this: to follow the fashion of the world is to end where the world is ending – eternity in hell fire!

ASSIGNMENT (S):
1. Take out time today to reflect on your life; the way you are right now, are you prepared to meet Jesus?
2. Adjust whatever needs to be adjusted in your life to be fit to meet the Master.

FOR FURTHER UNDERSTANDING, GET THIS MESSAGE: WHAT WILL YOU DO?

PRAYER: LORD, I ask for mercy and forgiveness for living a life that is contrary to your will. I make demands for the grace to maintain a godly character and lifestyle, O LORD, in Jesus’ Name.
