While the disciples who witnessed the ascension of Jesus Christ, stood gazing into heaven, they were informed by two angels, that the same Jesus will come back again. Since then, many deceivers born of women have presented themselves to the world as Jesus. But we are expecting the same Jesus that ascended into heaven, to come back in like manner by descending from heaven to rapture his bride: "for the Lord himself shall descend from heaven ..." - 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17.

As the opportunity comes to help someone, use it without delay. See yourself as a conduit of the blessings of God. DO NOT hinder the flow. Withhold not good from them to whom it is due, when it is in the power of thine hand to do it. Say not unto thy neighbour, Go, and come again, and tomorrow I will give; when thou hast it by thee - Proverbs 3:27-28. Do whatever you can to help that needy person now because a missed opportunity may never come again.

God allowed Paul and Silas to be cast into the prison so that He will be glorified there. He wanted the prisoners to hear the message that will set them free from the bondage of sin. Because Jesus was anointed to preach deliverance to the captives, His disciples should do the same. By their prayer and songs of praise, Paul and Silas announced the power of the Almighty God, and every one's bands were loosed.

How do you see men? There will be no passion for evangelism until you are able to see men as men and not as trees. Another touch from the Lord is needed to enable you see men through the eyes of Christ. When Jesus saw the multitudes, He was moved with compassion and He raised a prayer request for more labourers to be sent to the field of souls - Matthew 9:36.

We have a merciful and just God who always warns us to deliver us from impending danger. But because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil. It is not the will of God for anyone to perish in their sin. He wants all men to come to repentance that they might have eternal life.
