BE PREPARED
MAIN TEXT: PROVERBS 30:25-26
“The Ants are people not strong, yet they prepare their meat in the summer. The conies are but a feeble folk, yet they make their houses in the Rocks.”
2 Peter 3:14- Wherefore beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot and blameless.
The word of God from where we took our text used the ants though considered to be the smallest insect, but very smart. They store up food during the dry season, in order not to be swept away by the flood during the raining season.
The secret of success in life is to be ready, when the time comes. Life is not a rehearsal but sadly many of us do not get prepared to face with the challenges of life. You cannot for instance pass an exam unless you read for the same. We should learn to lead our lives and not accept whatever that comes to us.
Nothing great, is created suddenly. Success does not occur over night, and neither does failure. Each is a process. The question is what are we preparing for? How ready are we, to receive Jesus Christ at His second coming? Are we so carried away by the mundane things of this life that we are almost loosing focus about his second coming? Remember the word of God says that he will come like a thief at midnight – 2Peter3:10. So get prepared to meet the Lord by living a Holy, and righteous life in order not to be taken unawares.
BE READY AT ALL TIMES.
Prayer Point- Heavenly Father, Help me so that in all that I do I will not miss heaven.
