This topic is one of the teachings of the Bible that we are instructed to encourage ourselves with. Jesus Christ is coming again. A lot of people have been so occupied with the pursuit of the things of the world that they have forgotten that Jesus Christ is coming again. This is the voice of the watchman, the Holy Spirit waking us up not to get swept away by worldly things like money, fame. Everything in the world will pass away, we can see that as some songs reign for a while and they are easily forgotten after a while, that proves that the world is passing away. But those who are for God and the things of God are forever, they don't get faded or forgotten with time, we can also see that in old hymns that were written by inspiration of the Holy Spirit, after many generations these songs are still saving souls, they are still making people to get liberated from the shackles of sin and satan, they still encourage people to keep holding the forth in the battle against sin and the world. With these two illustrations, we see that we are not doing something wrong if we choose to continue to be alert that Jesus Christ is coming again instead of allowing worldly things to capture us so much that we say things like, leaving Jesus behind and after making money to start using the money for God. I have said it before, such offerings are not accepted by God. God says such offerings stink, He can't take them. Don't let any pastor deceive you that you are building treasures in heaven by building churches with sinful money, it's not true, you are only building treasures on this earth. That is why the first thing Jesus told that rich man who came to ask him how he can get to heaven, Jesus told him to go and sell all that he had and followed Him. Probably his money has been gotten by oppressing the poor or taking things forcefully from people. The rich man said he gives to poor, he obeys all the ten commandments but yet Jesus didn't give him a pass mark because everything is vain if how he got the money is sinful. This illustration is also to tell you that you can't use money to bribe God, the only way to be saved is through the blood of Jesus Christ by true repentance and dedication that you won't go back to the sin anymore. Jesus is coming again should start ringing on every heart. We should not forget. We should live our lives to please God so that when the trumpet sounds we will not be found unprepared. There is tribulation coming that we should not allow ourselves to experience it. That is why this is another call for repentance. And if you are saved, it's a call not to sleep off, it's a call to keep watching, to keep praying, to keep fighting the good fight of faith and keep holding on to the true gospel teachings instead of following the false teachings that is in the world today. May God help us and make us rapturable when Jesus comes. Amen.
