32. And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats: 33. And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.
Matthew 13:47-50
Happy New Month beloved. It is the fifth month in the year otherwise dubbed by Christians as the month of grace. May the Lord make His grace abound unto all of us from this day more than ever, in Jesus’ name. By the grace that Noah found, the Lord caused him and his family to be gathered into an ark when the world was to be overrun by flood. For all those who will be saints, they are equally saved by grace through faith in that, because they take Jesus Christ as their Lord, the righteousness of Christ is imputed to them. Like the days of Noah, the harvest of the present world is very ripe.
The Lord did command the preaching of the gospel to the ends of the earth and it has seemingly been achieved. Like He promised, the gathering will happen when like the days of Noah, He returns for His saints. When He gathers, it will be like an allcomers affair like we witness in many gatherings today. However, because He is faithful and righteous, He would cause a separation between the just and the unjust. The one He calls the sheep and the other, the goats. The goats will not be allowed in the ark when the sheep enter. They will suffer devastation in fire.
The mind of God is that none of us should miss the salvation that is beckoning and glaringly imminent. So as not to be gathered with the goats, the Lord is sending His words of caution unto us that we may be sober and vigilant so that the enemy may not change our soar from sheep to goats. It is important we remain the sheep of the Lord’s pasture to the end for us to partake of the glory about to be revealed. Nothing is as painful as to have been gathered with the sheep and eventually to be separated as goats. May such not be our portion in Jesus’ name. For it not to be, let us endeavor to stay firmly in the salvation that the Lord has prepared for us by following Christ our mentor and Lord, without deviating in any way. Our final ransom is not so far from hence. The signs are glaring.
SOLUTION: There is no gain in turning back from following Christ. It is the deceiver that makes people taste of the goodness of God and still renege from following Christ. Never yield to the enemy.
Please pray:
· Please give thanks to God for making us see this glorious day. Many are already dead but we are not counted in the number; give God praise
· Pray that no matter how long the Lord permits you to stay on this side of eternity, He should please maintain you as one of His sheep and never a goat, to the end
· Ask God to take away from your glare every object or agent of distraction in the way to the ultimate salvation of your soul
· Tell the Lord to please make this month one to remember for good for you, your family and friends
· Tell God specifically what you want to see from Him in this month
