Because of the tender mercy of our God, <\/span>
\nby which the Rising Sun will come to us from Heaven.<\/span>
\nLuke 1:78 <\/span><\/p>\n

*\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0~\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u2665 \u00a0 ~\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u271e\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0~ \u00a0\u2665 \u00a0\u00a0~ \u00a0 *<\/span><\/p>\n

This is an illustration of the new day springing forth. \u00a0Yes, because of God’s tender mercy, the rising sun will come to us from heaven…not anywhere else. \u00a0This is because the Creator is in Heaven and knows the start of everything and also the end. \u00a0He is the Author and Finisher of all things. \u00a0The spiritual is nigh; and we better be ready for it.<\/p>\n

The night is nearly over, the day is almost here,
\nso let us put aside the deeds of darkness
\nand put on the armor of light.
\nRomans 13:12<\/p>\n

In this scripture, Paul believed in the Lord\u2019s imminent return to transfer the faithful of His churches to Heaven (The Rapture).<\/p>\n

And we have the word of the prophets made more certain
\nand you will do well to pay attention to it,
\nas to a light shining in the dark place,
\nuntil the day dawns and the morning start rises in your hearts.
\n2nd Peter 1:19<\/p>\n

Yet I am writing you a new command,
\nits truth is seen in Him and you because the darkness is passing
\nand the True Light is already shining.
\n1 John 2:8<\/p>\n

All the scriptures above show us that indeed a day is coming—the new dawn. \u00a0As Christians, we need to be ready for this new day for it shall take us by surprise if we are not careful. \u00a0I don\u2019t want to associate myself with this kind of surprise; I need to get ready for the day. \u00a0However we also need grace for us to sail through. \u00a0All the signs are being fulfilled. The time is here.<\/p>\n

*\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0~\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u2665 \u00a0 ~\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u271e\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0~ \u00a0\u2665 \u00a0\u00a0~ \u00a0 *<\/span><\/p>\n

O Lord, our God, I thank You because You are a great God who reveals things to Your children before time because of Your lovingkindness. Give us the grace to understand the times we are in and to live a life pleasing unto Thee always. \u00a0Thank You for Your grace; in Jesus’ name I pray Amen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
