*OCCUPY TILL I COME.*(Series 2) *Scripture Reading:* St Matthew 24:10-12, 24 *"And then many will be offended, will betray one another, and will hate one another. Then many false prophets will rise up and deceive many. And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold."*(Matthew 24:10-12) We are in the last days, but we are also in the greatest time to be alive since the beginning of creation. No one knows the exact time of His coming, but we certainly could be a part of the generation that ushers in His return. Shouldn’t we be about the Lords business, occupying till He comes? He also went on to say in vs. 24. *"For false christs and false prophets will arise and show great signs and wonders, so as to deceive, if possible, even the elect."* We are the ones called to such a time as this! Step out and take your God given place in His kingdom. Don’t be afraid. Romans 8:31 Says; *"What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?"* He wants us to accomplish certain things while we are here on the Earth but he also is one hundred percent behind us, supporting us all the way. *There will be a day when many will look back with regrets and say I could have done so much more.* God gave me all these abilities and talents and anointing, what do I have to show for all of that? I don’t want to be one of those do you? I have regrets in my life and Satan has tried to hold things over my head. However, I’ve learned to not look back at my mess ups, but rather to look ahead at what I can still accomplish. I have been forgiven and I will go on! Once again I will say, if God is for me who can be against me! I will say even as Apostle Paul says in Philippians 3:13-14; *"Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus."* To be continue tomorrow morning by God's Grace. Good morning and do have a great weekend, peace. *Prayer point:* Lord Jesus, Rescue us from not being watchful so that YOU will not come and meet us in a time when we are not ready in Jesus Christ name. Amen! T.S. AFOLAYAN
