TOPIC: Christ’s Second Coming: Proving Scoffers Wrong (II) (Mountain Of Fire and Miracle Ministries, MFM Daily Devotional 16 February 2021)
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Leviticus 11-13
FIRE SCRIPTURE: Matthew 24:36-47 (KJV)
36 But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.
37 But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,
39 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
40 Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
41 Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
42 Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.
43 But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up.
44 Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.
45 Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season?
46 Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.
47 Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods.
MEMORY VERSE: “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.” – Revelation 1:7
MOTIVATIONAL QUOTE:
If we are not hungry for Christ, we are probably too full of ourselves.
PRAISE WORSHIP: Take a worship song as led by the Holy Spirit
PROPHETIC WORD FOR TODAY:
POWERS ASSIGNED TO MAKE YOU MISS THE RAPTURE ARE BURIED ALIVE TODAY, IN THE NAME OF JESUS.
The MESSAGE:
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 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 the 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 the 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!
