FAITH CAPSULE: God is not going to spare current wicked generation.

Genesis 19:1-29, Matthew 24:36-44

Alert can be defined as: to be fully aware, attentive or be wide-awake. Alert is an attitude of vigilance or readiness as before an expected attack. Alert is the period during which such a warning or alarm is in effect. As a believer, are you alert? Today, are you expecting the arrival of God’s judgement over this wicked world? To work the works of God is to prepare and not be a victim of judgement hour of God.
How exactly do we work the works of God?
Jesus was asked about how to work the works of God in response to question, “Then they said to Him, “What we shall do, that we may work the works of God?” (John 6:28) Jesus answered how to work the works of God as stated, “This is the work of God that you believe in Him whom He sent.” (John 6:29)
Truly, believing whom He sent means to live life as a believer. That is to be living the word of God, by observing to do as the word of God required in the pages of bible. In this world, be alert by enabling self by studying to know what the word says, meditating word, stop deceiving self or others, truly seek word to know the truth. The bible said it all, “And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” (John 8:32)
Enabling by watching and praying is another way to be alert. Jesus emphasized the need to watch and pray. Watching and not praying or praying and not watching makes incomplete and not enough to keep man alert. Among ways a believer should watch and pray are, “…walk not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stands in the path of sinners, nor sits in the seat of the scornful…” (Psalm 1:1). The wisdom of The Parable of the Wise and Foolish Virgins is an example of learning to be alert for the hour of judgement. Ten Virgins went to meet with the bridegroom but only five prepared not to miss but were alert. (Matthew 25:1-13)
God is not partial and will not spare the generation of today
Take note of the Sodom and Gomorrah, a wicked generation which God destroyed with fire. God is not partial; God is not going to spare current wicked generation. Today, be living by the word of God and not be a victim of destruction just as Lot was not a victim of Sodom and Gomorrah.
Importantly, be aware to be alert as living in the days of Noah. Matthew 24:36-37 stated,
“But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, but My Father only. But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be.
Work the works of God, be living the word and not miss the hour of judgement.

Prayer for today: Ask for the grace to be living the word of God.
