Revelation of the End

Rev 7:1 And after these things I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree. 2 And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God: and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea, 3 Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads. 4 And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel. 5 Of the tribe of Juda were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Reuben were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Gad were sealed twelve thousand. 6 Of the tribe of Aser were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Nepthalim were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Manasses were sealed twelve thousand. 7 Of the tribe of Simeon were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Levi were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Issachar were sealed twelve thousand. 8 Of the tribe of Zabulon were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Joseph were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Benjamin were sealed twelve thousand.

What happens in the end is what matters most. It does not count if we did great acts or we suffered though many efforts. The question is that after all these things …did we make Heaven? Some will make it and many will not. Most will find it is now too late to do that which they could easily have done which they deferred to another day i.e. repentance. Why do you delay to repent? Are you so certain that your name remains in the book of life? What gives you your confidence when you have many hurts unforgiven and have not reconciled with God on many issues…your confession of sin is incomplete and you know that the last few years, you have had no personal devotion with your creator. What gives you your confidence?

But then, your thoughts of the end need not be gloomy if you have the witness of the Holy Spirit that all is well. You are waiting joyfully to be united with your God. You are so excited that the appointed time has come. Soon there will be no more night and no more pains. On the list of tribes …a few are missing. Lord I pray that on that final day, may I not be missing from the gathering of the redeemed.

Song.

I am rejoicing my name has been written

I am rejoicing that I am born again

Hallelujah

Prayer: Lord, Help me. Do not let my joys to be turned to shame in the final appointed day of your coming. Amen

The Songs of Joseph is an integration of encouragement scriptural devotions, prayers and a compendium of songs of mercy, salvation, new beginnings and victory. We can expect as we trust and obey that our end will indeed be ultimately glorious because God works His marvellous agenda. Be blessed as you read and sing along, daily. Edited by Bolade Apampa
