 THERE IS ANOTHER WEDDING COMING (Matt. 24:37-39

 

All through the ages billions of wedding celebrations have been conducted.  We have experienced wedding like that of Prince Charles and Princes Diana, over 1 billion people watched it live all over the world it was witnessed by Heads of States from over 70 countries.  Everything needed was provided and every arrangement was perfect, it was indeed a royal wedding, a society celebration, but there are still so many weddings that are marked by lack and poverty that even the cake may be just a piece of bread.

 The Bible says our days will be like the days of Noah where people will be “eating and drinking and giving in marriage…” Right now there are multitudes that are already planning and making arrangements to make history on their wedding day. There may be people from wealthy or poor families, educated or illiterates, beautiful or ugly, young or old . . . all want to marry.

 Some marriages end in the evening after the Church protocols, some last but two weeks or two years, etc. while others may remain till death ends it all. No matter how well organized, no matter how the couples love each other, every marriage involving a man and a woman has an end.

 However, let me introduce you to another wedding that is coming very soon. It is not just a wedding of high-class celebrities; it is something better, something higher. It is the marriage of the Lamb of God. It is a marriage that has no end.

 “Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honor to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready. And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints . . . Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. . .”

 There is another wedding coming. It is the wedding of weddings, the marriage of the Saints and the Lamb. It is the marriage of Christians who have remained faithful and righteous to the end with the lamb, even Jesus Christ. In this great royal wedding, all expenses are paid for, and all things required are available, but you must be found arrayed in fine linen, clean and white. You must be righteous and holy. The big question is- are you qualified to be the bride of the Lamb?

 I have seen drunkards, thieves, fornicators, HIV/AIDS and Sickle cell victims, short and black, barren and sterile people, old and young, blind and crippled people married. But there is no room for incomplete, unclean people for the wedding of the Lamb. The groom is Jesus – the holy one of Israel and there is no compromise with him. If you must be His bride, you must belong to the family of the chosen and remain fervently connected to Him in purity.

 Ask yourself, my friend, are you prepared for this  great unavoidable event of history? You will either be married to Jesus or be married to Satan. There is no option. One of the  two must be your choice. Start preparing for the great event because time is running out.

 Have you noticed how people prepare for earthly weddings that only last a lifetime? Put your all and give  your life to Christ and live for Him daily so as to be qualified for the wedding of the Lamb.

As you celebrate with us in this temporary wedding today, may it be known to you that our focus eventually is the wedding celebration of the Lamb that is soon to come. In this wedding all Christians, male and female, no matter their age or size would be the bride and Christ Himself the groom. Oh what a joy. Start preparing for it by surrendering your life to Christ and deciding to live for Him no matter the cost. Don’t deceive yourself by church attendance alone; all on that day will know the reality of who you are. You can avoid the shame if you choose to face it today by acknowledging your sins and submitting your life to Jesus now and today and be determined to live for Him daily. Only this can qualify you for this great wedding that is coming. Are you willing to pray with me now? Then say this prayer, “Lord Jesus, I come before you knowing my weakness and desiring a change of heart. Jesus come into my heart and make me a new person in Jesus name.” Amen.
