TOPIC: THE SECOND COMING OF CHRIST

FURTHER READING: MATT. 24:40-44

Text: And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure. (1 Jn. 3:3)

The thought of the second coming of Christ has an effect on the hearts of men and women living on the earth. The scripture above says every man with the hope set on the events of Christ's second coming purifies himself. This hope is seen in the 2nd verse of the same Chapter _"beloved, now are we the sons of God and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is"_ (1 Jn. 3:2). At the second coming of Christ, we will be transformed to become like Him. It is the hope of all hope for the believer when we shall be clothed with our new bodies in the excellent splendor of God's glory.

God wants us to always keep the thought of the second coming of Christ in full view at all times. We make wise decisions and adjust our ways whenever eternity comes to our minds. This often happens when we attend the funeral of someone we know. When Christ shall appear, we will suddenly realize that the things we might have put so much value in will suddenly lose all their value in an instant. Did it cross your mind that Jesus could return to earth today? What weight will your life have on the scale of eternity? Did you win souls? Did you build up believers to become more like Christ? Did you glorify God in your love, kindness, compassion and mercy shown to those around you? You can measure the weight of your life against the eternity scale by observing how much of your life makes an impact on people around you.

Keep the second coming of Christ in full view every day. Remember that He said He will come in a day that most people are not expecting- like today! So you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him. (Matt. 24:44 NIV). The events that are happening around us tell us plainly that we are running out of time. Do not live such earthly lives that you make no investments in eternity. If today is that great Day, do you have anything to show for your life here on earth to the Father? Have you won souls? How many will go to heaven on the account of your mission's work?

PRAYER:
Pray that the Lord will cause your heart to always be prepared for the second coming of Christ and to win others for Him.

GOVERNOR ENO FELICITATES AKWA IBOMITES ON DEMOCRACY DAY

Akwa Ibom State Governor, Pastor Umo Eno has congratulated President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR , the leadership of the National Assembly, the Judiciary, Armed Forces and other Nigerians on the occasion of this year’s Democracy Day.

In a goodwill message released by his Chief Press Secretary, Ekerete Udoh, Governor Eno stated thus:

“Let me on behalf of the Government and people of Akwa Ibom State, congratulate the President and Commander- in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, on this year’s Democracy Day, which also marks 25 years of unbroken democratic rule in our dear nation.

“There is no doubt that our democracy has consolidated, and the traditions, norms and culture have also been deeply internalized by Nigerians.

“Let me thank the 10th National Assembly led by our son, Distinguished Senator Godswill Akpabio, CON, the President of the Senate, for working collaboratively with the Executive Arm to make laws that advance the ideals of democracy and our shared hope and prosperity.

“The judiciary has also played a key role in deepening the consolidation process of our democracy. Above all, we thank the Nigerian people in general and especially my dear Akwa Ibom people for their faith in our democracy and its ennobling ideals.

“Let me also thank the Service Chiefs of the Nigerian Armed Forces and other security agencies, for the great role they have played in strengthening our democratic ethos through the subordination of their roles to civilian control.

“It has been 25 years of growth; of facing challenges associated with nation -building while addressing the needs of the people.

“Even though we still have many miles to travel, but the miles we have covered so far give us hope for the journey ahead.

“Let us continue to pray for our leaders and support them in their determined efforts to bring growth and development to our people.

“We must continue to celebrate our diversity and see this as a source of strength rather than an instrument to widen our faultlines and create further chasm of division.

“Our National Anthem says it all ; ‘Though tribes and tongues may differ, in brotherhood we stand.’

“Here in Akwa Ibom State, we will continue to roll our sleeves and work tirelessly across party lines to bring democratic dividends to our people, in line with our ARISE Agenda.

“Happy Democracy Day to us all!”
