*Letter To The Churches (294).*

By: Apostle Eke Wilson Ukariwe.
*Christians Ought To Be Waiting Patiently For The Coming Again Of Jesus Christ.*
Reading from the Scripture in James 5:7-8, 11, KJV;
7. _Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waited for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long waiting for it, until he receive the early and latter rain._
8. _Be ye also patient, stablish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh._
11. _Behold, we count them happy which endure. Ye have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord; that the Lord is very pitiful, and of tender mercy._
*Part 3:*
*Believers Should Be Waiting For The Coming Of Our Lord Jesus Christ To Rapture The Church To Heaven.*
*Number One.*
*Christians should be waiting for Rapture as farmers wait for the time of harvest.*
The farmers wait patiently, and confidently, for their precious fruits of the earth, after the planting season.
That means that, farmers don't have fear, or anxiety, and so they don't wait for the harvest, with passive despair.
Farmers are always waiting patiently, and confidently, as they prepare their farms, to produce a good harvest. That is active hope.
That means that farmers, are not waiting hopelessly, for the fruits of the earth.
But they are hopefully trusting that, the harvest will definitely come, within a specific time frame. And indeed, the harvest will come.
And likewise, the Christians, should be waiting patiently, and confidently, for the coming again, of the Lord Jesus Christ, to harvest the precious souls of the righteous people to heaven.
That is what we called, the Rapture. Then Christians, who want to make their lives journey into heaven, must prepare themselves for the Rapture. It is written in 1 Thessalonians 4:16-18, KJV;
16. _For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:_
17. _Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord._
18. _Wherefore comfort one another with these words._
Rapture means, "caught up." And that means that, Jesus is coming again to Rapture, or to take the saints of God to heaven.
That will be the time of harvest, of the precious souls of the righteous people to heaven.
And those are the people who truly believed in Jesus Christ, and were obeying the commandments of God.
The Churches, and all true Christians, should be aware of that, and must take that information, very very serious.
That means that, you should be waiting patiently for the Rapture, by keeping yourself pure, and holy.
And you should consider how the farmers waited patiently, for their precious fruits of the earth, and sometimes, they may have long waiting for it. It is written in James 5:7-8, KJV;
7. _Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waited for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long waiting for it, until he receive the early and latter rain._
8. _Be ye also patient, stablish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh._
That means that, you should not lose hope, as you are waiting for the coming again of our Lord Jesus Christ, for the Rapture of the saints to heaven.
*Number Two.*
*Christians must be patiently waiting for the Rapture by faith.*
God's people must be living by faith. It is written in Hebrews 10:38-39, KJV;
38. _Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him._
39. _But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul._
The true Christians must live by faith. For in Christianity, every thing is done by faith in God, and in the Words of God. It is written:
*But without faith, it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him, (Hebrews 11:6), KJV.*
Then you can see that, your waiting for the coming again of Jesus Christ, for the Rapture, must be by faith, and not by fear.
That means that, Christians should not be living hopelessly, and just enduring afflictions, without having faith in God.
Those Christians, who are living with passive despair, are already defeated in their faith. And they are suffering emotional trauma, for lack of faith.
Paul told the believers to always be strong in their faith, even in the face of afflictions, or challenges. It is written in 2 Timothy 1:12-14, KJV;
12. _For the which cause I also suffer these things: nevertheless I am not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day._
13. _Hold fast the form of sound words, which thou hast heard of me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus._
14. _That good thing which was committed unto thee keep by the Holy Ghost which dwelleth in us._
True faith in Jesus Christ, will help you to go through pains and afflictions, without complaining, because you know that, God whom you are serving, will not fail you, or disappoint you.
Abraham showed to us, how true faith should be. It is written in Romans 4:20-22, KJV;
20. _He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God;_
21. _And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform._
22. _And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousness_ .
Abraham was strong in faith, as he was waiting for the promised son, and even when he was old.
So you must be strong in faith, and giving glory to God, as you are waiting for the Rapture.
Grace and peace, from God the Father, and Jesus Christ, be with you. Amen!
