“Then two will be in the field; one will be taken, and the other left” (Matthew 24:40). Today, I want to emphasize the importance of recognizing Jesus as our Ark and the necessity of heeding His voice and calling. Our First Lady delivered a powerful message on Sunday night during our Evangelical service, focusing on essential points about preparing for the coming of our Lord. To gain a broader perspective, we invite you to visit ICER Ministries TV and watch last night’s Evangelical Service.
Most of us have encountered the Gospel—whether we were born into the ministry or someone shared it with us, leading us to give our lives to Jesus. Regardless of how we came to faith, we all reach a point in our journey where we must be honest with ourselves and with the Lord. Are we still on fire for Jesus, or has our passion dimmed amidst the distractions of the world? Remember how it felt when we first committed our hearts to Him, when it was all about His love and grace? All we wanted was to be in His presence, immersed in His Word, in prayer, and in fellowship with other believers. Let’s take a moment to be honest with ourselves—God already knows where our hearts stand today.
Who remembers the story of Noah and the Flood? It’s a story I first heard in Sunday School, and I often wondered why the people didn’t heed Noah’s warnings and why they failed to believe God’s promise of the coming flood. It saddened me to think that people could be so hardened toward God. The Bible tells us, “And it repented the Lord that He had made man on the earth, and it grieved Him at His heart” (Genesis 6:6). Today, humanity continues to harden their hearts, living in unbelief and failing to realize that His return is nearer than ever. Genesis 6:11-12 tells us, “The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence. And God looked upon the earth, and behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth.” God decided to destroy what He had created because the thoughts of humanity were continually evil. What do we see in the world around us today? People living as if they have no care in the world (Matthew 24:37). Where is Jesus in our lives? Is He still our top priority, or have we put Him on a shelf, allowing other things to take precedence? Just as in the days of Noah, there are men and women of God sounding the alarm: Jesus is coming soon! Today is the day of salvation. Don’t wait until tomorrow to do what you can do today.
Today, we are like Noah, tirelessly building our Ark and spreading the Gospel. We are sounding the alarm, urging everyone to listen, even before the storm arrives. Jesus is our Ark, and we must embrace Him to withstand the impending judgment on the world. Scripture reminds us, “And let us not be weary in well doing, for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not” (Galatians 6:9). I encourage you to gather your loved ones and watch the full message—it is sure to bless you.
