EVERYTHING IS NOW READY

By Rev Michael Benson Ajayi

  COME, EVERYTHING IS NOW READY

Luke 14:16-17 NIV Jesus replied: "A certain man was preparing a great banquet and invited many guests.  At the time of the banquet he sent his servant to tell those who had been invited, 'Come, for everything is now ready.'

        God’s will is for humanity to dwell with Him in His kingdom in perfect harmony for eternity. It is a place of celebration and rejoicing in everlasting peace. It is symbolized in the parable of the marriage feast in Luke 14:16-24 were an open ticket has been issued to all and sundry without any exception. The beauty of this invitation is that all expenses have been paid. The greatest tragedy that could ever befall a man is to reject this once in a lifetime opportunity (Heb 9:27). Many unfortunately for the fear of being accountable to a higher authority reject this offer while for some others; it is as a result of ignorance of the consequences of rejecting God’s offer.

         The two major excuses men give as the bases for rejecting God’s invitation is seen in (luke 14 verses 19-21)and they are,(1) property acquisition and maintenance  and (2) emotional ties .These are Satan’s bait with which he keeps men from serving God. We are at liberty to acquire whatsoever we desire but it isn’t God’s will that we be enslaved by anything  as the scriptures says in 1 Corinthians 6:12 AMP” Everything is permissible (allowable and lawful) for me; but not all things are helpful (good for me to do, expedient and profitable when considered with other things). Everything is lawful for me, but I will not become the slave of anything or be brought under its power.”

       When a person gets detached from the pursuit of a wholesome relationship with God, they become bound to the fear of death. This is the reason why many are drawn into the occult and have become slaves to false prophets and teachers.  Through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, Satan’s power to terrorize God’s people with death was destroyed once and for all. Therefore, as a born again Christians; you can come out of that satanic cult and will not die as you were told during your initiation ceremony , your freedom is declared In Hebrews 2:14-15” Because God's children are human beings—made of flesh and blood—the Son also became flesh and blood. For only as a human being could he die, and only by dying could he break the power of the devil, who had the power of death.  Only in this way could he set free all who have lived their lives as slaves to the fear of dying.” The devil no longer has the power of death. Don’t be afraid.

      The so-called upper and lower class of society have been given equal invitation to the lord’s marriage supper but ironically , the upper class are usually too busy enjoying God’s property and therefore have no time to honour His invitation therefore God commands the born again Christian  to compel men to come into the kingdom wherever they can be found regardless of status . In God’s eyes there is no such thing as an undesirable fellow. God wants His people to be more aggressive in our approach to inviting people to the kingdom , it is a matter of urgency, the human life expectancy is on a downward trend: before you finish reading this message another person would have missed out on the life time opportunity of reconciling with God because there was nobody to teach them . Receive boldness to declare God’s word wherever you are in Jesus name.
