Topic:The Ark Of Safety
Text: Luke 17:26-30

Peril! This is one word, which has been written across the canvass of many people’s lives. Danger is lurking around the corner. Risk is imminent. One of these days, Jesus will come unannounced. He will hit the skies like a thief in the night. Careless souls will be caught unawares. The greatest peril in life is for Jesus to come and you be left behind. This applies to those who are not born-again and Christians who are not ready. If you are ready, God will preserve you from the days of tribulations.

There are terrible days ahead. Mighty men will cry in sorrow like a woman in labour. They will weep bitterly. People will bite their lips in pain. Some people preach that Christians will go through tribulation. As far as I am concerned, I am not going through the tribulation. Jesus Christ Himself said His own will not go through the tribulations. Before the flood came, during the time of Noah, God had moved Noah and his family into the ark. After he had entered the ark, God Himself shut the door before the rain began to fall. “But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all. Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed…” (Luke 17:29-30). Before fire fell on Sodom and Gomorrah, Lot had already gone. Today, God has prepared an ark of safety.

Let me say this in figurative language: Another flood is around the corner. This time around, it is going to be a deluge of fire and brimstone. Get into the ark of safety today and you will escape the coming judgment.

Memory Verse: I Thessalonians 4:16 - “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.”
