OUR MESSAGE FOR TODAY’S SUNDAY SERVICE ON MAY 17, 2015 IS LUKE 21:1-27: THE DESTRUCTION OF THE TEMPLE, SIGNS OF THE END TIMES AND GODS GLORY:

OUR MESSAGE FOR TODAY’S SUNDAY SERVICE ON MAY 17, 2015 IS LUKE 21:1-27: THE DESTRUCTION OF THE TEMPLE, SIGNS OF THE END TIMES AND GODS GLORY: 1. If you desire Gods glory in your life, there are principles you cannot avoid to apply in your life, which includes spiritual, financial and physical matters. This principle has to do with sowing of seeds because while the earth remains seed time and harvests will never cease. The example of the poor widow giving everything she had for the work of the Kingdom of God is evidence that validates her love for the things of the Kingdom and God. The reward of such act was testified of by Jesus Christ that she gave more than everybody, and will in turn receive the glory of God more than all in the temple. See verses 1-4 2. Be informed that before the glory of God must come down, destruction of the things that will hinder the glory of God must take place, those things that have to do with the signs of the end times as follows like Jesus said to his disciples: a.) Some of his disciples were remarking about how the temple was adorned with beautiful stones and with gifts dedicated to God. But Jesus said b.) As for what you see here, the time will come when not one stone will be left on another; every one of them will be thrown down.” c.) His disciples said “Teacher,” they asked, “when will these things happen? And what will be the sign that they are about to take place?” d.) He replied: “Watch out that you are not deceived. For many will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am he,’ and, ‘The time is near. e.) Do not follow them. When you hear of wars and uprisings, do not be frightened. Like ISIS, Al SHABAB, BOKO HARAM, Voice of all fake Prophets and their disciples. Beware!! f.) These things must happen first, but the end will not come right away g.) Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. h.) There will be great earthquakes, famines and pestilences in various places, and fearful events and great signs from heaven. i.) But before all this, they will seize you and persecute you. They will hand you over to synagogues and put you in prison, and you will be brought before kings and governors, and all on account of my name. j.) And so you will bear testimony to me. But make up your mind not to worry beforehand how you will defend yourselves k.) For I will give you words and wisdom that none of your adversaries will be able to resist or contradict. You will be betrayed even by parents, brothers and sisters, relatives and friends, and they will put some of you to death. l.) Everyone will hate you because of me. But not a hair of your head will perish. Stand firm, and you will win life m.) When you see Jerusalem being surrounded by armies, you will know that its desolation is near. Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains, let those in the city get out, and let those in the country not enter the city. n.) For this is the time of punishment in fulfillment of all that has been written. How dreadful it will be in those days for pregnant women and nursing mothers! There will be great distress in the land and wrath against this people o.) They will fall by the sword and will be taken as prisoners to all the nations. Jerusalem will be trampled on by the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled. p.) There will be signs in the sun, moon and stars. On the earth, nations will be in anguish and perplexity at the roaring and tossing of the sea. People will faint from terror, apprehensive of what is coming on the world, for the heavenly bodies will be shaken. See verses 5-26 3. After the Saga of pains, sorrow, wailing, weeping, gnashing of teeth, killing, murder, and destructions of the end times, those who walked and lived in righteousness and holiness will live to see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory and will reign with him in his glory, honor and power in his Kingdom. See verse 27. 6. My prayer for you today is to receive the Anointing power to be among those that will reign with Jesus Christ in his glory, power, might, greatness and inherit the Kingdom of God in Jesus name Amen. Read below: Luke 21:1-27 New International Version (NIV) The Widow’s Offering 21 As Jesus looked up, he saw the rich putting their gifts into the temple treasury. 2 He also saw a poor widow put in two very small copper coins. 3 “Truly I tell you,” he said, “this poor widow has put in more than all the others. 4 All these people gave their gifts out of their wealth; but she out of her poverty put in all she had to live on.” The Destruction of the Temple and Signs of the End Times 5 Some of his disciples were remarking about how the temple was adorned with beautiful stones and with gifts dedicated to God. But Jesus said, 6 “As for what you see here, the time will come when not one stone will be left on another; every one of them will be thrown down.” 7 “Teacher,” they asked, “when will these things happen? And what will be the sign that they are about to take place?” 8 He replied: “Watch out that you are not deceived. For many will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am he,’ and, ‘The time is near.’ Do not follow them. 9 When you hear of wars and uprisings, do not be frightened. These things must happen first, but the end will not come right away.” 10 Then he said to them: “Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. 11 There will be great earthquakes, famines and pestilences in various places, and fearful events and great signs from heaven. 12 “But before all this, they will seize you and persecute you. They will hand you over to synagogues and put you in prison, and you will be brought before kings and governors, and all on account of my name. 13 And so you will bear testimony to me. 14 But make up your mind not to worry beforehand how you will defend yourselves. 15 For I will give you words and wisdom that none of your adversaries will be able to resist or contradict. 16 You will be betrayed even by parents, brothers and sisters, relatives and friends, and they will put some of you to death. 17 Everyone will hate you because of me. 18 But not a hair of your head will perish.19 Stand firm, and you will win life. 20 “When you see Jerusalem being surrounded by armies, you will know that its desolation is near. 21 Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains, let those in the city get out, and let those in the country not enter the city. 22 For this is the time of punishment in fulfillment of all that has been written. 23 How dreadful it will be in those days for pregnant women and nursing mothers! There will be great distress in the land and wrath against this people. 24 They will fall by the sword and will be taken as prisoners to all the nations. Jerusalem will be trampled on by the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled. 25 “There will be signs in the sun, moon and stars. On the earth, nations will be in anguish and perplexity at the roaring and tossing of the sea. 26 People will faint from terror, apprehensive of what is coming on the world, for the heavenly bodies will be shaken. 27 At that time they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.
