Portion For Reading John 14:23Theme: Preparing our hearts for Christ's.
Even though our house always looked just fine to me, I can still remember what it was like around our house when my mother found out one day that a important guest was coming. She brought out the broom, the mop and pail, sponges, window cleaner, bathroom cleaner, dust rags, and furniture polish. Then she called me and my two sisters together and assigned each of us the job that we were to do. When we were finished, mother always checked to make sure that not a speck of dirt or dust remained.
Can you imagine what it would have been like around our house if we had been expecting a visit from a king? Well, that is what I want to talk to you about this morning. A king is coming -- not just any king -- the King of Kings!
Same way our hearts are like a house even though our heart looks clean but the Holy Spirit knows what is not clean, like the mother, he will instruct or assign the works to us to clean those area of our life which do not please the king who is our God. So get ready and here is the good news that Christ the King wants to visit you today, please clean your hearts by obeying his words and commandments so that he can be enthroned in your hearts.
And if you already have Jesus in your life, then prepare yourselves for his II coming, which will occur very soon, in which the king will take us to his home. It will be a great fun then!
Lord Please visit me!
