Headline News!

Creflo Dollar

I have some great news I want to share with you. It is the most exciting news report you could ever hear, especially in such turbulent times. It is a headline that will take the world by storm and cause the body of Christ to rejoice. The headline I want you to imprint on your mind and in your heart is this: JESUS IS COMING BACK! Now, to some people that headline may make a lot of waves in a negative way, simply because they have never heard of the return of the Lord before, or because they do not believe in Jesus; but I want you to know this headline is true, and it is getting ready to take place now!

Jesus Christ is alive and He is preparing to return to Earth and set up His Kingdom. This event will start off with the rapture, or the catching away of the body of Christ, and will culminate with His return and establishment of His divine government on the Earth. Believe me, you have a lot to look forward to.

The Word makes many references to the return of the Lord, and the events that will surround His coming. Matthew 24 is Jesus’ prophetic outline of the signs of the end of the age. Spoken by the Son of God Himself, the verses give several things to look for, that will signal His return is at hand. For example, when His disciples asked Him what some of the indications would be, He said in verses 4-12:

“…Take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes in divers places. All these are the beginning of sorrows… and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name’s sake. And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.

Everything Jesus prophesied in this passage is happening with increased frequency and intensity. Deception and darkness are rampant in the world today, as well as wars and new rumors of wars between nations surfacing almost daily. Not to mention food shortages worldwide, new diseases emerging, and natural disasters taking place regularly. In addition, it seems that now more than ever, people do not have the love of God in their hearts toward each other. The general atmosphere has become ruled by fear and selfishness.

In the midst of all the chaos taking place, the headline I shared with you is a welcomed report. For those who know Jesus and are submitted to His leadership, His return will be a time of glorious celebration and excitement. He is coming for His people, and is preparing to establish His government of righteousness.

If you have not made Jesus Christ the Lord of your life, or if you are a Believer but know there are areas in your life you need to improve, now is the time to get your house in order. We can prepare ourselves by making sure we walk in love toward others, live by faith, obey His Word, forgive those who hurt us, and repent of any sin in our lives. Doing these things on a continuous basis is the best way to prepare for Jesus when He comes back.

I encourage you to trust in God no matter what is going on around you. He has made a way of escape for every person; it is just up to us to take advantage of what He has done for us. He died for our sins so we would not have to be subject to the world and its confusion. Accepting Jesus into our hearts is the best thing we can do to secure a future in such uncertain times. Now ask yourself, “Am I ready for His return?”
