The Glory of His Return!

INSPIRE Devotionals With Emmanuel Afiawari Saturday, February 21, 2026 Topic: THE GLORY OF HIS RETURN! Memory Verse: ‭‭"‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭Watch therefore, for you do not know what hour your Lord is coming" - Matthew 24:42 NKJV‬‬ Bible Text: ‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭ ‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭Revelation 22:12 NKJV‬‬ ‭‭12. And behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to give to every one according to his work. INSPIRATION: Two things common to the visition and/or return of our Lord, Jesus Christ, are: it would never be announced and some of those He's coming for will never be prepared. It's obvious today's church is the least prepared for Christ's visitation hence they stroll into very anointed services so casually, lacking in faith and unexpectant. As such, miracles happen all around them but none for them. In the same way, many are still not ready for the return of Christ. Hence, little or no preparation is in place. But whether you take this seriously or not, He's coming back with glory. It'd take you by surprise like a thief's visit takes their victims by surprise. Being caught unprepared is bad enough in itself, your reward would also be a subject of another shock to you. You'd be rewarded based on your actions in the past, chief of which is, your belief or unbelief in Christ. TODAY'S TAKE HOME: How prepared are you for His visitation or return? What are the proofs of your preparation? PRAYER: Dear Lord, please help me to set my heart in order for Your visitation, and more importantly, Your return. I refuse to allow the cares of this life deprive me of the glories of Your visitation and rewards of Your return. My lamp is always trimmed and oiled as I wait earnestly, in Jesus name.
