Welcome to Shield of Faith Fellowship of Churches International, our Theme for this year is: “He Is Coming Soon.” In Revelation 22:12 Jesus said, “behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.
I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.” The word “quickly” in the ancient Greek might be better defined in English as “suddenly.”
As we reflect on the writings in the book of Revelation from the Apostle John, he reminds us of the suddenness of these events.
We know that God watches over his word to perform it and surely the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed, as it is written in 1 Corinthians 15:52.
In Romans chapter 13 verses 11 and 12, the Apostle Paul reminds us to stay mindful that the Lord’s return is soon with these words: “and that knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed.”
The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light. Saints of God let us stay mindful of the Lord’s return and cleanse ourselves of all filthiness of the flesh and spirt, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.
(2 Corinthians 7:1 )
