Prepare! Prepare! Prepare! Great tribulation – a time of suffering and desolation unlike this world has ever experienced is on the horizon. Don’t wait until it’s too late! Prepare!
Consider Noah. God warned Noah and his family of the coming flood and directed them how to prepare the Ark to survive it. Noah listened to God, took the warning to heart and “did according to all that God commanded him.” [Genesis 6:22]. And because Noah listened to the warning and obeyed the command of God, He, and his household, along with a remnant of every living creature on the earth, survived the flood waters that covered the earth. [Genesis 8:1]. Ongoing warning to all. Prepare and don’t delay. There is only one place of refuge – in the hands of Jesus by accepting Him as the Lord of your life. Jesus is the only source of refuge from the coming storm. Don’t wait until the storm falls on you. It will be too late to prepare then. There will be no place to hide and no place of safety, for the whole world will be burned away and there will be no place to go.
God has promised that the storm is coming, but many won’t believe the warnings or heed the call because they can’t see it with their natural eye. But “The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.” [2Peter 3:9]. Ongoing warning to all!
God is not a man that he shall lie. A storm is on the horizon. It is coming just as surely as the sun rose this morning. It’s more certain than the sun may rise tomorrow. This is a storm that cannot be compared to any storm of nature in its power and intensity. It’s a storm that will bring judgment upon the heart of every man and woman remaining in the earth and none will escape its power. Please don’t wait until the storm falls on you. It will be too late. Now is the acceptable time, now is the day of salvation. Jesus is the only source of refuge from the coming storm. Give your life to Jesus now! Don’t wait until it’s too late!
