By Dr D.K Olukoya General Overseer MFM worldwide

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Lev. 11-13

FIRE SCRIPTURE: Matthew 24:36-47

MEMORY VERSE: Revelation 1:7

Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.

MOTIVATIONAL QUOTE: If we are not hungry for Christ, we are probably too full of ourselves.

PROPHETIC WORD FOR TODAY: Powers assigned to make you miss the rapture are buried alive today, in the name of Jesus.

Yesterday, we made it abundantly clear that a Christian owes it a duty to believe in Christ’s Second Coming and to teach unbelievers, scoffers and doubters to believe the same as that will save the unbelieving and unprepared from going to hell. The key to converting scoffers is to reveal the truths of the Bible on Christ’s return to them. Today, we will examine more proofs in the Bible on the Second Coming of Christ.

The third point that proves that Jesus Christ will return is that the Holy Spirit, who is called “the Spirit of truth” (John 14:17; 15:26), also testifies of the Second Coming of Christ through the New Testament writers: Apostle Paul (1 Corinthians 1:4-7; Philippians 3:20; Colossians 3:4; 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17; etc.), the apostle Peter (1 Peter 1:13; 1 Peter 5:4; 2 Peter 3), or the apostle John (1 John 3:2), again and again, through the inerrant Scriptures, the Holy Spirit adds His witness to that of the Father and the Son – Jesus is coming.

Similarly, God’s programme for the church, that identifies it as the bride without spot or wrinkle which Christ is coming back for, is another proof that His Son is coming back. . The church’s role is to be like a pure bride for God’s own Son, ready to be presented to Him at His Second Coming.

The Bridegroom and bride relationship of Christ and the church is underscored in Matthew 25; Ephesians 5:25-27 and Revelation 19:6-9. Christ will definitely return to claim His bride (the Church), just as He promised (John 14:2-3).Another important proof that Christ will return is that He is the One to put an end to the wickedness and corruption that are prevalent in the world. Matthew 16:27 says, “For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works.”

John 5: 28-29 corroborates this: “Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.” Stay wise, stay prepared, Christ is coming back!
