Msg 2 - Being Watchful in Life

<p>Speaker: Paul Onica;</p> <ul> <li>Our being watchful in life is for our maturity and for our early rapture.</li> <li>Reaping depends on ripening. The picture in Exodus 23:19 illustrates thisThe “firstfruits” of the good land were to be offered in the temple.&nbsp;Firstfruits ripen (mature) earlier than the rest of the crop; they are picked first.&nbsp;The saints who mature earlier will be raptured first and taken to the heavens for the Father's enjoyment. - Rev. 14:1-4<br> The majority of the saints (ripening later) will be raptured only to the air. - 1 Thes. 4:16-17</li> <li>One of the signs of the Lord's coming is the similarity to the days of Noah among the worldly people.</li> <li>We must seize every opportunity to be vitalized and wake up (Eph. 5:14), walk wisely, redeeming the time in these increasingly evil days (vs.15-16), and be filled in spirit (vs. 18-20).</li> </ul>
