OPEN HEAVEN 24 MAY 2018 – OBSERVING THE TIMES AND SEASONS?
Open Heaven 24 May 2018 Memorise:
Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come. Matthew 24: 42
Open Heaven 24 May 2018 Bible reading: 2 Timothy 3:1-9
5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:
6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:
7 But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:
8 And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.
Open Heaven 24 May 2018 Bible Reading in one year: 2 Samuel 23-24 and 1 John 4
In the realm of the spirit, being watchful means being alert to the current needs of the Christian race and being prepared for future happenings that will impact your eternal destination. The most prominent of all future events predicted in the Bible is the second coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, which will precede the eventual end of the world. The disciples asked Jesus about 2000 years ago what would be the sign of His second coming and the end of the world.
In Matthew chapter 24, Jesus responded with a detailed explanation of the events that will signal His impending arrival. In today’s Bible reading, children of God are advised to get ready for perilous times, false doctrines, deceivers, false prophets, high-mindedness of men, physical and spiritual welfare, increase in knowledge and technological advancements, worldliness and apostasy. In addition, all humanity is enjoined to get ready for the judgement to come. I pray that you will not be left behind when the rapture occurs in Jesus’ Name.
“Watch ye therefore: for ye know not when the master of the house cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at the cockcrowing, or in the morning: lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping. And what I say unto you I say unto all, watch.” Mark 13:35-37
The admonition of our Lord to us in times as these is to watch. Current happenings around the world show clearly that we are on the end times. As children of God, we cannot that we are in the end times. As children of God, we cannot afford to lose focus for a moment. Our hearts must be kept with all diligence under constant watchfulness.

We must be on the lookout for the crafty approach of the enemy to attack the authority of the Bible. We must watch against worldliness and the quest for ungodly pleasures. We must watch against deception, false prophets, the introduction of another “gospel”, sexual immortality and societal acceptance of sinful practices. On a personal level, you must be sober and vigilant in watching against temptations such as pride, high-mindedness, self-righteousness, complacency, lukewarmness, backsliding, spiritual barrenness, stagnancy and rebellion against constituted authority. You must not be confounded by the negative news on wars, natural disasters, acts of terrorism, economic meltdown, natural tragedies and civil unrest around the world.
You should rather respond appropriately as one who has been adequately informed and is therefore well prepared for the rapture. The Lord expects you to be sober, vigilant and very consistent in Prayer. You must pray for your leaders, the church of God, your community and your family. My desire is that if the trumpet should sound today, you will be raptured in Jesus’ Name.
