I have managed to hold in telling out my experience of rapture which happened almost twenty years now. So graphical, so real yet so crushingly heart-breaking to me because I missed being caught up with the rest of God’s people.
That’s almost like flunking a 6-credit load course in your final year at school; an inevitable repeat follows but too hard to think of it that way in a spiritual matter only God has final say.
To many, given the things going on around the world, it may well look like God is absent minded and the words of the bible a mere figment of religious folks or fiction of sort.
Rapture is a reality. On those two occasions in my sleep; a bolt of light so gloriously bright flashed across the skies. And there was an upward rush of a powerful currents of wind, snatching people off the earth, and in short moment were sky-bound and not to be seen anymore.
I was caught up as much as I could remember, but at some point in the upward ascent, I started to drop down until I was back to the earth. And everywhere was silent. The city was scanty, and news went out that Jesus has come to take his people home.
I felt a stab in my sleep that woke me up, and I was feeling so sore displeased. I felt so light on my inside and felt a deep sense of loss and shame I had never ever felt in my life. I was going to face public scorn I said to myself. As the final test of my claim to knowing God had come and gone; as I failed the test. This was in 1996.
The reality of those two events were so clear inn my spirit that I went out to the neighbourhood of Umuahia knocking on as many doors I could reach and preaching to every soul I met about the imminence of Christs coming.
I have tried as I could to live in that consciousness to date.
There’ a subtle and grand deception going by Satan to make believers think that the rapture of believers in Christ is not real.
To those who may wish to know, rapture is the catching away out of this world those who believe in Christ to herald the second coming of the lord.; I theselaonians 4:17.
It doesn’t matter what goes on around you; let not your heart wax cold.
Look like the world is drowning out the word of God as the dominant culture seem less of God and everything else in the upswing. And God is not talking either…..
Yet, the stage for Christ coming looms nearer and practically close as ever….
But are we ready? Not choked up with too many cares of this life?
Aren’t majority bagged up too heavy in the spirit for a rise to His glorious coming?
Can you spot the upswept corners of your inner life and clear the clutters? 2 chronicles 29:16.
God is not silent as we are wont to reason out, His son is coming back to take His own people, make haste to join His train of glory: Luke 21:27
