TOPIC: Who Can Stand When He Appears? (Mountain Of Fire and Miracle Ministries, MFM Daily Devotional 2 May 2019)
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: 1 Kings 12-13; Luke 22:1-30
FIRE SCRIPTURE: Malachi 3:1-4
MEMORY VERSE: “Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.” – Philippians 2:12
The MESSAGE:
Every human being, Christian or non-Christian, has heard about the first coming of the Lord Jesus Christ to this world and that the world is expecting His second coming. Let me assure you that, deep in the heart of every man who has God’s breath, there is a confirmation that His first coming signalled irreversible changes to this world and the destiny of man; and that His second coming will bring judgement and the end. Even those who deceive themselves that He is not the Son of God know that He is coming soon to judge the world and have a twisted doctrine to prepare their fold for this. But let me assure you that any preparation for Christ’s second coming outside the word of God is an exercise in futility and an open invitation to destruction beyond our understanding.

Malachi 3:2-3 gives vivid description of what will happen on that great day. To those who are not of Him, He will be a consuming fire, completely destroying. To His own, He will be a Purifier, removing impurities and a Bleach, removing stains.
If you are alive and reading this devotional this morning, it means He has not come yet and we all are expectantly waiting for His coming. Are you in Christ? I passionately appeal to you: work out your salvation with fear and trembling (Philippians 2:12) because no man born of a woman can withstand the trial and judgement of God (Psalm 130:2). This was why God proactively appointed Jesus Christ the Righteous as our Advocate and the Propitiation of our sin (1 John 2:1). Do not deceive yourself, your outward look and the work you are doing in the house of God are not sufficient.
What then will qualify you for purification? Your heart!
- Total surrender, dedication, consecration and covenanting of self to Christ.
- Purity in thoughts, words and deed, even when nobody is there watching you.
- Love and fear of God.
- Enrolment into the Salvation Army of the Living God in your hatred for sin and satan and all he stands for your life.
- Sincere love for fellow men as commanded by Jesus in Luke 10:27
Christ is coming again. That is the basis of our faith. When He comes, will He find you purifiable? Or for the consuming fire? I pray for you that you will belong to Christ in eternity, in Jesus’ name.
MOTIVATIONAL QUOTE:
DON’T LET YOUR HEART BE TROUBLED, JUST BELIEVE IN GOD ONLY.
PROPHETIC WORD:
When Jesus comes, may you be counted among His jewels.
