SHADOWS AND REALITIES OF BELIEVERS' RAPTURE

Compare and contrast contextually the scriptures at the end of this writing, they are proofs that what happened to Enoch, Elijah and Jesus were shadows (except for the dead in Christ, a reality by the resurrection of Christ) of things to come, by implication - what will happen to believers (alive) known as rapture.

Each supernatural occurrence differs by the way it happened: Enoch (was not/no more/disappeared - God took him), Elijah (went up/carried up/ascend - by a whirlwind) and Jesus (taken up/caught up/lifted up - cloud received or took Him/disappeared in or into cloud).

Another difference is that Enoch was not seen when he was translated unlike Elijah and Jesus.

Also, Jesus died and resurrected, and his physical body was translated continually till he ascended finally into heaven - Jh 20:17; 24-29, Luk 24:36-43 (a likelihood of how Angels who are Ministering Spirit Beings transform to Men and engage in natural things when they come to earth and return back to heaven - Gen 18:1-33, 19:1-22, 32:24-30, Heb 13:2), unlike Enoch and Elijah who didn't die at all and experienced translation once.

The similarity is however obvious that they all cheated death into immortality and their body was not found (Elijah - 2Kings 2:16-18).

Meditate on the verses below:

Gen 5:24 - And Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him. AND Heb 11:5 - By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God.

2 Kings 2:11 - And it came to pass, as they still went on, and talked, that, behold, there appeared a chariot of fire, and horses of fire, and parted them both asunder; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven.

Acts 1:9 - And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight.

To believers:

1Cor 15:51-53 - Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,

In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.

For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.

1Thess 4:16-17 - For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:

Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

Be sure of who you are, where you are going and what happens to you either after death or while you are alive.

Moses died but his body/sepulcher was not found (Deut 34:5-6). History tells of Apostle Joseph Ayo Babalola who almost had the same experience with those mentioned above, but he was not, he only levitated and (died) slept in Christ. Bishop Benson Idahosa's death didn't caught him unaware, it was said that he pronounced he was going to heaven and sat comfortably on a chair before giving up the ghost. These and many others are testimonies that shows how believers have power over death in Christ Jesus.

With God all things are possible, God can still make men cheat natural death if He wants, depending on His choice and His relationship with men.

LETTER TO MY FUTURE WIFE (a promised reference to Timilehin David's similar letter years ago)

If you are reading this, it is to show how highly God has proposed and buoyantly vouched for you as the apple of his eyes. To a royal diadem, a rare gem, the good thing I'll find whose worth is beyond rubies, the brightest star in the sky I'm staring at and looking forward to embrace her shining light, my other half, the fairest among women (just like my fairy mum) whose heart is golden and cannot be bought by the worth of earthly treasures, one whose stance would cause the fall of a thousand men, and her walking steps draw the gaze of mighty men. To my future wife, whose eyes I would love to fix my gaze, whose cheeks I would love to caress, whose succulent lips I would love to taste like the honeycomb and beautiful body I would love to glue onto like the magnet on the day of matrimony. Your smile is a beaming hope, your laughter a contagious joy and your teeth like the bright spring in the sunny day. I hope reading this won't make you think I am carnal because ...

THE OTHER SIDE OF LOVE YOU DON'T KNOW

You might want to wonder, does LOVE have any other side (just like a coin though single but having two SIDES)? Do I not know about the entirety of love or does it still transcend beyond the description and exposition given to it by Apostle Paul in 1Cor 13? Do you know that, just the way you can't decipher all that God is even though He fully demonstrated His nature of love by becoming a Father and sacrificing Himself (the Soul - Jesus the Christ as His only Son) for humanity; you can't also comprehend all that Love is because God is Love? Now, let me bring clarity to avoid confusion. What do I mean by the OTHER SIDE OF LOVE? Like everybody else will think, the answer to that question would be the painful side of love or the sacrifices of love or the challenges that may befall one because of love etc. But that's not where my target is, instead it is the most neglected nature of Love - BALANCE. When you hold a coin or are given a coin what attracts you the most i...

EXAMINATION TIPS FOR BELIEVERS

The secret of success is to do the common thing, uncommonly well - John D. Rockefeller. As believers, the kind of success that God wished that we manifest in is different from that of unbelievers. It is success that supercedes man's (self) ability; one that is traceable to the enabling power of God; one which can be drawn, associates and is enabled (in and) by the Spirit, so that we cannot boast of our power, knowledge, skills and every of our ability but by the strength, quickening and enabling power of God. This is applicable to all spheres: Business, Work, Education etc including Ministry. But due to the course of this writing, I'll be centering on exams especially students that are believers. If you aren't one of them, make a quick deliberate decision and be convinced of your salvation, else, you are missing out amongst Christ's family (and the benefits of being a Son, a few of what I'll be sharing here). According to Josh 1:8 - KJV:This book of the law sh...

TRANCES OF YOUR PROPOSED STATURE

Num 24:4 - He hath said, which heard the words of God, which saw the vision of the Almighty, falling into a trance, but having his eyes open, 16 - He hath said, which heard the words of God, and knew the knowledge of the most High, which saw the vision of the Almighty, falling into a trance, but having his eyes open The word Trance is derived from the Greek word ( ekstasis ) meaning a displacement of the mind that is bewilderment, ecstasy; be amazed. The condition expressed by this word is a mental state in which the person affected is partially or wholly unconscious of objective sensations, but intensely alive to subjective impressions which, however they may be originated, are felt as if they were revelations from without. They may take the form of visual or auditory sensations or else of impressions of taste, smell, heat or cold etc. The English Dictionary defines it as a dazed or unconscious condition; (consciousness) a state of concentration, awareness and is foc...

DON'T GET DISCONNECTED, STAY ON COURSE

It is of no fallacy that there is no boundary, blockage or distance barrier of any sort to the access or manifestation of the Spirit. And indeed, there is no medium whatsoever that the Holy Spirit cannot use to demonstrate enormous power, no matter how unimaginable or unreasonable it may be ( Mantle - 2Ki 2:14, Hem of garment - Matt 14:36, Handkerchief and Apron - Acts 19:12, Shadow - Acts 5:15). You might have heard of testimonies of men about the move of God's power, either through Social Media (despite the different locations - countries and continents across the globe), Audio or Video Messages and many more. Also, it is not bad or devilish for believers to have spiritual books, messages, write ups etc on their phones, laptops or any technological gadgets. Doing these does not serve majorly any other purpose than to use them to build up ourselves spiritually and get imparted by the anointing of the Men of God. Which has helped us to access the unreachable mate...
