After you have been saved by grace through faith, you must continually prepare for the coming of the Lord, otherwise you cannot make it to heaven. The five foolish virgins did not realise that they did not have enough oil until their lamps went out while waiting for the bridegroom. They were not checking continually to see if they needed to top up. Watch and pray without ceasing as you prepare for the imminent return of the Lord.

There is no better way to start anything than to start it with God. When you start your day with God, he will guide and keep you from falling into the unseen traps of the enemy. I encourage you to begin each day with the one who knows tomorrow, and your steps will be ordered in the way you should walk to fulfil God's purpose for your life. Forgetting the failures of the past, take advantage of the new day to begin afresh with God. Every day started with God is bound to end well for you.

The same God that judged the antediluvian world and the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah for their wickedness has warned of His impending judgment against this present evil world. He will be partial and unrighteous if He fails to judge the wickedness and rebellion of this generation. The God of judgment has not changed and except we repent, we cannot escape His judgment. It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

Unknown to Esther, God planted her in the King's palace for the deliverance of the Jews. And when the time came to play her role, the Lord used her Uncle, Mordecai to sound the alarm. The moment she realised her mission, Esther was determined to fulfil her ministry. She was not afraid to die, so she could boldly declare: if I perish, I perish. You are not there by accident, but to fulfil destiny.

The word of God declares that Abraham was fully persuaded that, what God had promised, He was able also to perform it. Although the promised Isaac did not come until after twenty-five years of waiting, Abraham overcame the temptation to stagger at the promise of God. He was strong in faith. He trusted the faithfulness of God who cannot lie but does whatever He promises.
