GOD IS COMING GET READY PT2

Church.

I want to appreciate everybody, Thank you all for your

love and support. Last week, our pastor was inducted officially

as the pastor of Shiloh Baptist Church. So what that

means is that before now, even though he has been

playing the role of the pastor, it was not official.

So last Sunday it became official. And I want to

appreciate all of you, as many of you that came

for the induction. Thank you those who could not make it.

The Lord will bless you all. In the name of

Jesus Christ. I want to appreciate all of you. Thank

you for your prayers, thank you for your support. May

the Lord's name be praised and glorified in our.

Lives in Jesus' name. Number two.

Is to appreciate all of us again for coming out,

for not being a shamed yesterday, just about the time

I wanted to leave the house in the morning for

the outreaity yesterday, I was still getting some messages coming

that Pastor, I'm sorry I won't be there. Pastor, I'm

sorry I won't be there. Say you know, the raised

to the Kingdom of God is not everybody that will

be there. It's not everybody, But I was amazed yesterday

and church, I want to tell you will get to

the Kingdom of God. I've always been saying this three surprises.

Let me put it on too. You will get to

the Kingdom of God. People that you expect will be

in the Kingdom of God, they will not be there.

It is not prayer. It is not prayer.

But there are some people that you will never expect

to be in the Kingdom of God. You know what,

You will find them in the Kingdom of God. It

is not about prayer. It is about work with God.

I got to the place yesterday. There were people I

was expecting that would be in that place. Low and behold,

they were not there. I said, Lord, thank you, But

there are so many people. Ah, this, Jesus is too much.

It's just too much. The people are never expected will

come out.

For such.

When I saw them, I said, Lord, and the Bible,

it reminds me of what Jesus said. He said, if

this wants we keep quiet. It was telling the pharirases,

Eh say, I will raise stones. It was stones that

Jesus used yesterday. Jesus just used stones to do its wonders,

and that gave me confidence. I said, Lord, I thank

you for all of these lives. I thank you for

all of these lives. And for some people. It is

the entire family that king, the entire family. No one

was exempt. The entire family were there. Thank you all

those who couldn't make it, like one of our brothers,

you know, because of the nature of his job he

met us there it was. You know, I understand for

some of us the nature of our job will not

permit us to do that.

Thank you, Thank you.

Father, Please bless Shiloh Baptist Church apples to be light

in these communities that which you did yesterday. We know

the results will begin to come, and we know you

have already started to work. Show yourself mighty. Whereas that

you will speak to us again this morning. Ladia be life,

Ladiya be transformation, that your name may be praised in

Jesus' name.

We pray.

About the last Sunday of the month of May. I think,

if I'm not very wrong, I think it's the last

Sunday of the month of May. We were talking about

God is coming ready, and I remember saying that that

message was supposed to be the entire chapter fifty of

the Book of sam But on that day we're only

able to look at this one. So let me see

this morning, as the Lord is going to lead us

to say, if we'll be able to just complete one

to six or two to six. Now we're dealt with

this one. So if we can do with two to

six and then.

Our wrapp up.

Some fifty one to six, I'll read again some fifty

one to six. So it's the same title if you

went service on that day. God is coming. Get ready,

the Bible says.

The Mighty one God.

The Lord has spoken and called the earth from the

rising of the sun to its going down out of Zion.

The perfection of beauty God will shine forth. Our God

shall come and shall not be silent. A fire shall

devour before him, and it shall be very tempestuous all

around him. He shall call to the heavens from above

and to the earth, that he may judge his people.

Gather my sins together to me, those who have made

a covenant with me by sacrifice. Let the heavens declare

his righteousness, for God himself is George Selah. Let me

take it again from Pidgeon, the Almighty one way be God,

don't talk. He don't gather everybody right from where the

sun for their rise golish where if they go down

from Zion way, fine way, well God, they shine inside

in glory.

Our God. They come. You know, they quiet at all fire.

They borne everything way, they in way and strong breeze

where they make noise. They around arm if they call

the evans where they up, and the head where they under,

so that them God be witness when they judge in people,

He says, they could not bring my people where they

obey me. Come those way, make covenants with me with

their sacrifice.

Make the heaven talk about.

How it takes the judge, because now God good judge

by himself.

Make the evens talk about in.

Good judgment, because now God did the judge. The Lord

bless us what our hearts in Jesus' name. Amen, God

is coming, get ready. God is coming. Get ready. The

last time we looked at verse one of that chapter,

and we looked at the fact that God made a

universal call.

The call that God made it was to all everybody.

And we said on that day that our God that

we say, is not a local god. Do you remember

that he's not a tribal god? And I remember that day.

I was asking various gods. All those gods, they are

very local, and I invited everyone on that day in

case you are seen saving those who local God, can

you come to the Universal God and saved the Universal God.

And I still make that call today.

And that was part of the assignment we did yesterday

to go and tell the people of Carasana. As we prayed,

we also invited some of them that they need to

come and save the Universal God. In verse two of

that verse, the Bible says, out of Zion the perfection

of beauty God will shine from.

So in that verse we see Zion. Zion.

Zion is Jerusalem, which represents the dwelling place of God,

the only presence of God among his people, and that

place is described as the Bible put it there.

He says, it is the perfection.

Of beauty, perfection of beauty, not because of the buildings

that you have there, but because of the glory of

God that is there. That is what made it to

be perfect. And he says, from Zion, God reveals his

beauty is splendor and shines forth of his presence. So

what exactly does God want us to understand? Yea God

shines forth from Zion, and that shows that He reveals

himself in power impurity. So for us as Christians today,

this should remind us that God's presence is not only comforting.

You don't just get into the presence of God and

receive comfort alone. But also the presence of God can

be challenging because there are times that you get into

the presence of God it can make you to be afraid.

And this fear is not the fear that you are

going to die, no, but that humble fear of humility.

For who God is, he says, it shines its lights

into our hearts to expose. So that light that is

shining forth God shines it into our hearts to expose.

And correct what is hidden.

So if there is anything that is hiding, when you

get into the presence of God, by the light of

God that shines from Him is able to expose and

not just exp was in anything, but then he corrects.

So we most live in honesty and holiness before Him

as our God. What is the truth that I want

to take from that second verse. When God's presence is

among his people, it brings beauty and glory hallelujah. When

the presence of God is among his people. It brings

beauty and glory. So in any house, in any life,

in any home, in any business, where the presence of

God is, you will always experience the beauty and the

glory of God in that place. And I pray that,

by the power of God we will continue to experience.

They are matched beauty and glory of God in every

aspect of our lives. In the name of Jesus God.

To number three INVESE three, that vestry describes that God

will come in power. He says, our God shall come

and shall not keep silent. A fire shall.

Devour before him, and it shall.

Be very tempestuous all around him. So what this verse

is helping us to understand is that it is announcing

the coming of God.

Not gently. God is not coming in his low motion.

God is coming with.

Fire, with storm, is coming not as a quiet guest,

but as a powerful judge. I've always said that when Jesus,

the Bible says that every may will bow before Jesus,

and every tongue we confess that Jesus is Lord, and

there's no controversy about that.

There's nothing you can do.

So every human being, as one of two opportunities of

meeting with Jesus, it's that you meet within as the sheep,

the land that died on the cross of cavalry.

All you meet within as the judge.

So in this passage, the Bible is describing to us

that God is coming this time around, is coming as

a judge, and he said it's coming with fire and stone.

The fire here symbolizes his holiness and judgments. So when

it's coming with fire, is coming in holiness and with judgments.

And the storm that you see in that passage shows

that is coming with majesty and authority.

So God has authority over everything.

So the lesson here is that though God may seem

silent at times, he will surely act in justice at

their condition that you feel that it seems God is dead,

But I tell you God's not dead. God is alive,

God is aware, God is unknowing. God we act in justice.

He is coming with fire and stone to do what

for purification and judgment. So Christian should not take God's

silence for approver or indifference. That you feel that God

is quiet about some things, and maybe God just want

to allow us noo loom the judgment of God is coming.

What we should do is that we should leave with

holy reference, knowing that God we eventually judge or deed

God with George. So the truth year is that God

will not remain silent in the face of sin.

Or covenant breaking.

So anybody who sings against him, anybody who breaks god covenant,

we definitely fall under God's judgment. Don't worry about what

is happening in our world. God has a set time

for everything, and when their pointed time comes, it will

take decisive action. If we come with holy fire, it

will come with holy fire, and when it comes, nothing

will be left. I pray that the judgment of God,

when it comes, it will not be to our destruction.

In the name of Jesus Christ.

Look at that's four.

These four describes the heaven and earth as witnesses.

The Bible says invest four.

That is a call to the heavens from above and

to the earth that it may judge is people, that

he may judge is people. So heaven and earth are

summoned as witnesses to God's judgments. A lot of people

don't know that on that day of judgment. You know,

sometimes when you tell people or you need to amend

your ways. You need to change your lifestyle. You need

to do things that we please God. Oh your mouth

is smelling. Why you disturbing my life? Let me enjoy

my life. You will give account of everything. You will

give account of everything. You are inside somewhere and you

feel that nobody is seeing you. The heavens and the earth,

EH see you where you are, and there will be

a witness against you on that day of judgment. So

God calling the heath, the eavens, and the and the

earth as judgment.

This is like in a law cards. So God is

both the judge and the wone.

All gathers the courtroom, so you have everybody in the courtroom.

But look at what the Bible says. He says that

amid judge is people. He's not talking about outsiders now,

he's talking about his own peoples, covenant people.

So let's bring it home. He's talking about Christians. And

that's why the.

Bible says judgment we start even from where outshold of faith,

from among the body of Christ. That's where the judgment

is going to begin. So God costs heaven and earth

to witness his judgment, not against the world, but against

its own people as Christians in covenant with.

God Jesus Christ.

We must remember that privilege can't with responsibility. The privilege

of believing in Jesus Christ comes with responsibility. Can somebody

read First Bitter Chapter four, verse seventeen, First Bitter, Chapter four,

verse seventeen. First Bitter Chapter four, verse seventeen, First Pitter

Chapter four, verse seventeen. Look at what the Bible says.

For it is time for judgment to begin with the

family of God. And if it begins with us, what

will the art come be for those who do not

obey the gospel of God? Eh, if judgment will begin

from inside the household of God, the family of God,

what would be for those who.

Are not part of that family?

So we must examine our faithfulness and obedience. We must

examine our faithfulness and obedience.

What are we saying here?

We're saying that God's judgment begins with his own people,

so he expects covenant faithfulness from those who claim to

know him. And that's why the Bible says that let

everyone that name the name of Christ do what the

part from iniquity, the part from saying.

Shall we continue in saying that grace may abound. God forbid.

God forbid, So the judgment is going to begin with

God's s people. Look at these five Therese five is

a call to the covenant people. Is people, He says,

gather my sins together to me, those who have made

a covenant with me by sacrifice, Those who have made

a covenant with me by sacrifice. So God calls his

covenant people those who entered into a relationship with them

through this sacrifice.

What is that sacrifice?

In the Old Testament, the sacrifice is pointing at the

animal sacrifices, But in the New Testament, it is pointing

to the sacrifice that Jesus made on the cross of cavalry,

which you and I are particlar off. These are not

just any people, the Bible says saints, saints.

Meaning people who are set apart.

These are the people that God is calling to begin

judgments with him. So God judges those who made a

covenant within, not outside us. So for us, as believer

us today, this means that simply by being a chargeger

or claiming to be a Christian, it's not enough that

your name sounds like a Christian name is not enough.

It must influence your heart, your attitude, the worth of

your mouth, every part of you. You cannot say you

are Christian when you don't feel comfortable to be a monk.

Christians our covenant with God through Christ cause for ongoing commitments,

ongoing commitments. Not what you have done yesterday, No, you

must do it again and again. Ongoing commitments, ongoing holiness

and sincere worship.

That's what it costs for. That's what it costs for.

That will be within as we await the judgment. What

is the truth in that verse verse five? That verse

five is giving us the understanding that true worshipers are

those in covenant with God, not those who worship in

name only. So if you have your worshiping God in

name only, are you a Christian?

Yes? And me a Christian.

And when you want to feel form, you feel it. Religion, Eh, Christianity.

That's what the world says. But I can tell you

that Christianity is really not a religion. It is a

way of life. It is a way of life. It

affects every part of you. How you talk, it must

be consistent. It is not by I too. In the

course of the week, and it's a challenge to all

of us, especially for those of us who are young people.

There is need for us to reawaken ourselves. If you

want to be a Christian, please, I beg of you

be a Christian. If you don't want to be a Christian,

all right, you can decide for where you want to decide.

And I'm so happy that Jesus never forces himself on anybody.

God will never force himself on anybody. No, he doesn't

do it. Even as Sunday school this morning. We saw

it in the encounter of Jacob. In spite of his waywardness,

God still reminded him of that covenant.

Hm hmm.

That's how messy for our God this. But don't take

it's messy for granted. Don't take it for granted. I

told us the last time I explained something about this

technology View three. And I'm sure that now that our

projector is ready, one of these days I will show

you certain things that you will never believe are not real.

And that's where our world is going. In fact, there

was one video clip I saw where they're already pushing

that a high is now the God. They're actually telling

Christians to forget Christ, to forget Jesus and come.

And follow Ai.

Whether you like it or not, Well, we're in that

generation now, so the only thing you will do is

for you to wake up. Sometimes ago it was shown

that there was a church like this. It was a

robot that was preaching, like I'm pretty here, h. It

was a robot that was preachy, and it was telling

human beings who have sins, human beings that God created.

So what they created is now the Word bringing the

message of God to them, and he's telling them to

accept Jesus. There's a lot of challenge with the technology

that we have today in every aspect of life. If

an AI can become a pastor and preach to human being,

what else you think will not happen. So whatever skill

that you have in your hand, it's better you are

good at it, because if you are not good at it,

AI will replace you and you will be job blessed.

The time is coming, It's only a matter of time.

But what does this tell us. This is telling us

that the end is around. The end is around. For

those of us who have been following what has been

happening between Iran and Israel.

Last week, stroke this week is the fire for fire,

Fire for fire, Whether you like it or not the end.

Rumors of war.

Go back to Matthew chapter twenty twenty four. Rumors of war, pestilence, all.

Of those things. The will happen. God is coming. Get ready,

that's what we're saying. This morning.

When is it going to come? I can't tell you

the day. That's why I read from first Tessaloni.

In chapter five concerning the day.

Even the apostles, the disciples, they were asking, Jesus, can

you tell us which day which time that these things

will happen? And Jesus himself it is only God that

knows it. But there are certain things that Jesus has

said that gives us a clear understanding that the.

End is coming soon.

And when that end comes, I pray, I pray that

you will not miss the turner kingdom in the name

of Jesus.

Look at six the Bible says God. Okay, No. Six,

the Bible says, let.

The heavens declare is a righteousness for God in serve

is judge. So God is a righteous judge. It will

not manipulate anything. You can deceive man. You can deceive

your never, you can deceive your pastor, but you cannot

deceive God.

The eavels speak of God's righteousness.

Why because It's judgment is never wrong, because It's judgment

is never passia, because his judgment is never unfair.

Is judgments are always right. You may please end.

If you look at the end of that verse six cellar, cellar,

it means to pause and reflect. It is inviting us

into a deep thought about the seriousness of God as

a judge, about the seriousness of his judgments. That's why

you have ce lie there.

Take a moment and think very deeply.

About the fact that God himself with George, God's justice

is perfect, it is trustworthy. The heavens declared his righteousness

is reminding us that God is not corrupt, God is

not passia. As Christians today, we can take comfort in

knowing that God sees and.

Judges fearing.

We should also be encouraged to live upright in our

daily living, knowing that nothing escapes his view, and every

act of obedience matters to God. Every act of obedience

matters to God. The truth here is that God is

righteous judge. We most reflect seriously on how we leave

before He so in all of these verses, as a landol,

we have said that God is not silent. In Verse one,

he speaks with power and purpose to all creation too.

We say that when God's presence is among his people,

it brings beauty and glory.

Invest. Three.

We say that God will not remain silent in the

face of sain and covenant breaking. We come with only fire,

and when it comes with that fire, it is for judgment.

Invest. Four.

We say that God's judgment brings or begins with his

own people. He expects covenant faithfulness from those who.

Claim to know him.

That's exactly what God expects. In Verse five, we said

that true worship us are those.

In covenant with God. If you're just coming to judge.

Because your appearances you have to be in charge, just

doesn't make you a Christian. If you're coming to judge

because someone is going to ask you, are you in

church last Sunday, Now, that doesn't make.

You a Christian.

Come to church because you understand the real meaning that

you want to worship the King of kings, the Lord

of blogs, the God of all ages. Versus gives us

the understanding that God is a righteous judge. Therefore we

must reflect seriousness on how we live our lives. So, then,

people of God, how do we get ready for God's coming.

Number one repents from hiding and open sceins, repent from

eating and open scenes. The eating scenes are those scenes

that you've seen in your corridor in your house. After all,

nobody's there.

We know what.

The cheers in your house, eh, the plates in your house, eh.

The fan in your house that's really like this?

Why you are committing that if that thing is there,

Just imagine that on that day of judgment God, cause

the heaven and the Head, all these fans, they are

part of the head, and then they will begin to

give witnesses to what.

You have done. How shameful with that they be?

Or perhaps that we just want to review your heart

right on this screen right now. Some people we pray

that this grand be open so that they can go

in make God messy. Speak for us in Jesus name.

Number two, sorender to Jesus fully. So render to jeesez

Us fully everything about yourself.

So render to Jesus not just in words, but in

daily obedience.

Then your first are surrender to Jesus with our words.

But you must know that confession is not just the

last thing about your relationship with Jesus. No no, no, no, no, no,

that's not the last thing. It goes beyond that. There

is daily obedience working with them. Number three, live holy

and watchful lives.

Live holy and watchful lives. God is coming like a

thief in the night.

First, there's alone in chapter five two to six that

are read for the cult to worship. God is coming

like a thief in the night. The Bible is not

saying that God will come at night. No, it's not

at night, but like a thief, a thief that we're

not announced the arrival, a thief that we not give

you understanding that he or she is coming. It is

important that we live holy and watchful lives. Not because

somebody is going to ask you, but because God.

Is going to ask you.

Number four, Let your worship be since yeah, not your songs.

Lift up only hands, and then you lift up that

evil hands. I say it is only hands. Oh thank God,

it is not a day of old Testament. No, just

imagine if it were to be in days of old Testament.

Lift up only hands and just lift up the hands,

and there's just fire that will just enter that end.

I'm borne off the handle.

But deided dance of mercy. But shall we continue in

seeing that grace may abound. God forbid not just in

songs and sacrifice, but in obedience.

Not just in songs, not just in.

Sacrifice, sacrifice of coming to charge, sacrifice of paying that

are offering, sacrifice of praying. No, not just about that,

but even in your dead.

Living living in obedience.

Towards the Bible commensals. That's what God is talking about.

That's what God is talking about. And finally, encourage others

to be ready.

Share you wanting and the hope of sufish. Tell someone,

but what.

God as you don't in your own life. Tell someone

but what God is doing in your life. It is

important unless you have not had an encounter with God.

If you have seriously had an encounter with God, it

should not be a problem. God is not silent. He speaks,

He gathers, he judges, he shies forth. He is speaking

now through his word, through the world's events, everything that

is going on around us, and through his spirit. So

Psalm fifty verses one to six reminds us that God

is present.

God is powerful, God is personal.

God is coming to judge not only the wicked, but

also his own people.

As his people. She Loo Baptist charge, we must walk

in cover that fectfulness.

We must be ready for it's coming, and we must

live lives that reflect his glory.

Are you ready for the coming of this God?

If it comes today, will you be among those it gathers?

Or you will be among those that it will expose?

Which one? Which one?

Which one?

Don't let this just go without you making it'significant commitment.

Is there anybody here this morning you feel you have been.

Wasting your life, wasting your time, assuming that you are

a Christian. Ezekiel says that you when you see a

wicked man in his wickedness, tell him, because if you

don't tell him, his blood will be on you. But

if you're tell him and your refuses to change, then

you have freed yourself from that judgment. There's no need

for everybody to close the eyes. If you're willing this

morning to make a youth tone and say.

Jesus, I need you. I have lived a life of printer.

But today, knowing that you will come for judgment, Lord,

save me. When God will come for you, you cannot tell.

You can tell.

We are seen pastors who we just sat right on

the altar chairs and they just sloan. There are ministers who,

as I'm preaching like this, it fell and that was

the end.

It is not about what you think. It's about what

the Lord is say. May the Lord help us in

the name of Jesus Christ. Can you just pray? Can

we all just pray together?

Can you ask the Lord this morning, say Lord, speak

again to my heart.

Say Lord, speak again to my heart. Let me not

be deaf to your voice.

Because some of us have become death to the voice

of God. We have looked up our mind so much

so that whatever God is saying we don't hear. But

what the world that is saying, that is the only

thing that we're here, That is the only thing that

we can talk about. Can you ask the Lord this morning,

let me not be deaf to your voice. From sunrise

to sunset, help me to hear and obey your call

as the Lord, to shine forth from Zion into your life.

Say Lord, shine forth from Zion into my life. Let

your beauty, let your glory, Let your holiness be seen

in me and in this church.

Let your holiness be seen in me and in this church.

Can you ask the Lord this morning, say Lord, don't

be silent concerning my sins.

Don't be silent concerning my sins.

Say Lord, beaurify me with your holy fire. Let every

unclean thing in me be consumed. Everything that is unclean

in me, let it go.

Make me pure. Before you.

Can you rededicate your heart to the Lord and say, Lord,

I come to you again in covenant through the blood

of Jesus. Can you confess with your mouth again and say, Lord,

I belong to you. Help me walk faithfully as your

saint and servant.

Every walk faithfully. Let me more faithfully as your sins

and serve God.

Say God, you are the charge over all. Help me

to live each day in the light of eternity. Let

me to live each day in the light of eternity.

Let my life be holy and Pleasten to you.

Z you weez.

You are gloryus, so glorious.

See your wiz.

You wi.

You a gloryus, so gloryus.

See your way, your way, your will, your way.

Your way.

You are glorious, soft gloryus. Sing your way, Father, display

your glory in our life as a church.

Get us ready, Lord for your coming.

Where we are sleeping, Where we are slumbering, Father, we

pray for a re awakening in every aspect of our lives.

Help us Lord to wait in eager expectation of your

coming apples to be ready. See in life this morning, Lord,

that is struggling with that decision. I pray God that

you will have that life to surrender today in the

name of Jesus, Lord, we are grateful in Jesus mighty name,

would pray amen as we take the song when the

role is called up yonder. Perhaps you want to make

a strong decision and you just want to you want

us to talk more. Please, you can see me later

on after the service and we'll have a beautiful discussion

together so that you know how to follow what you

need to do to have this relationship with God. When

the Lord here pos in Jesus, then we're writ how

to sing that song when the role is called up yonder.

I'll be there.

One When the trumpet of the locals and time we

are be in the morning breaks, it turn on bright
