```DEEPER CHRISTIAN LIFE MINISTRY``` _*HIGHER EVERYDAY: (A DAILY DEVOTIONAL GUIDE FOR YOUTHS)*_ ✍🏽👩🏻💼🌻 🍇🙏🏽🛰🚀🔬📚 ```WEDNESDAY 25TH MAY, 2022``` *PREPARE TO MEET YOUR GOD* 📜📜```TEXT:AMOS 4:1-12```📜📜 📖```MEMORY VERSE:``` _*"Therefore thus will I do unto thee, O Israel: and because I will do this unto thee, prepare to meet thy God, O Israel" (AMOS 4:12).*_ *The story was told of a clown who fooled his king. He had told the story of a great man who wanted to travel to a very far country to dwell there for a long time but he did not prepare himself for his journey.* *The king, upon listening to the story, mocked the great man in the story until the clown compared him to the great man. The clown proved to the king that the king was like the man himself, since there was no sign of preparation for eternity in his life.* *Eternity is near to the great and the small but many are not prepared for the journey. Meeting the Lord in judgment demands self-examination because there will be no appeal in His righteous ruling.* *In the days of Prophet Amos, Israel multiplied their sins in all their cities. There was oppression, immorality, corruption, drunkenness and idolatry. God brought several calamities upon them, but they remained impenitent. Amos challenged them to repent or face God's greater wrath.* *The world is passing through unprecedented sufferings, disasters and pandemics. Are you ready for the rapture?* 💭```QUOTE:``` _*Eternity is near!*_ 🔮```CHALLENGE:``` _*There is no second chance after God's judgment.*_ 🙏🏽🙏🏽```PRAYER:``` _*Keep me worthy and ready, oh Lord.*_
