The works of the flesh will manifest wherever the flesh is in control. As long as you live in this body of clay, your members (eyes, ears, hands, feet, tongue, etc) will be tempted to lead you into sin. Even Jesus was tempted while in the flesh but glory be to God; He overcame. To overcome like Jesus, you must yield your body to Him with the strong determination to always obey God rather than men.

There are many things calling for your attention in life but only one thing really matters the most. The most important thing is securing the assurance of spending your eternity with God. After your education, what next? After getting married and raising a family, what next? After rising to the peak of your career, what next? Eventually death will come if Jesus delays His coming, but where will you spend eternity?

The mystery about the Rapture, unravelled by the Holy Spirit through Apostle Paul in our text was mentioned by the Lord Jesus Christ in John Chapter eleven, during an important conversation with Martha when He went to raise Lazarus from the dead. When Jesus spoke about the Rapture, neither Martha nor the disciples understood what He was talking about because it was still a mystery.

Beloved, are you in any trouble and worried about how things will turn out? Worry no more because you shall come out of that trouble, in Jesus name. And when you come out, it will be as though you were never in such trouble. Do you remember the three Hebrew children, Shedrach, Meshach and Abednego? They all came out of the fire of King Nebuchadnezzar without burns nor smell of smoke. 

There is no day that passes under the sun without the Lord loading us with benefits. This understanding is needful so that we can live in constant expectation of these benefits and praise God accordingly as we take delivery of them. They that seek the Lord shall not want any good thing. The Lord preserves our lives. He protects us, our property and our possessions. He provides for us and gives us perfect peace.
