NO MORE SEPARATION THERE

 ANCHOR OF LIFE DAILY DEVOTIONAL GUIDE For TUESDAY, 31ST  JANUARY, 2023.

 Author: PASTOR DR. SAMUEL AYORINDE – General Overseer

Anchor of Life & Redemption Ministry Int’l

 *Topic: NO MORE SEPARATION THERE* 

 *MEMORIZE: “Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord.” 1 Thessalonians 4:17.* 

 *SCRIPTURE READING: 1 Thessalonians 4:15-17.* 

“For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who sleep in Jesus. 15 For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who are asleep. 16 For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. 17 Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord.” 

 *EXPOSITION* :

We thank God for counting us among the living today the last in January, 2023. Praise God!!! Hallelujah!!! 

The greatest expectation of the Church is to see and be with her Saviour one day. This is the hope that keeps her (the Church) waiting and enduring hardship and persecution from one generation to another. At the rapture, here is the bliss of the saints at that day: they shall be ever with the Lord, 1 Thessalonians 4:17. It will be some part of their felicity that all the saints shall meet together, and remain together forever; but the principal happiness of heaven is this, to be with the Lord, to see him, live with him, and enjoy him, forever. Here on earth, death put separation between lovers. It is a great enemy to humanity. The word of God says, it is the last enemy that God shall destroy – “The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.” 1 Cor. 15:26.

This should comfort the saints upon the death of their friends, that, although death has made a separation, yet their souls and bodies will meet again; we and they shall meet together again: we and they with all the saints shall meet our Lord, and be with him forever, no more to be separated wither from him or from one another for ever. Therefore, apostle Paul would have us comfort one another with these words, 1 Thessalonians 4:18. We should endeavour to support one another in times of sorrow, not deaden one another's spirits, nor weaken one another's hands, but should comfort one another; and this may be done by serious consideration and discourse on the many good lessons to be learned from the doctrine of the resurrection of the dead, the second coming of Christ, and the glory of the saints in that day. 

 *PRAYER POINT:* Lord, count me worthy for the awaiting rapture in Jesus name. 

ii. Holy Spirit, help me not to end my Christian journey like Judas Iscariot In Jesus name.

 *DAILY BIBLE READING IN A YEAR –  Leviticus 11-13.*
