Prayers and Praises for the Lord's Coming - 6

· Oh! men of independent spirit, stop for a while and listen to me. The Lord Jesus, the
Saviour of the world, will come riding on the clouds and take his faithful alive to the mid
skies. Such faithful will not taste death. We urge you to pray and prepare from now. ‘O
Lord, send this message to the whole world.
· Some years ago medical researchers prepared some medicine in tablets to get rid of mice.
Those who bought them kept in their rooms. Some mice swallowed them which caused
terror in them, they did not return any more. So, this became an effective method to
drive out the mice. In the same manner, O Lord, dictate to our prayer group waiting upon
Thee, the message of Thy Salvation and coming, which we would print and publish in
English and distribute it, around the five continents. Then those who are literate will
experience great fear, worry and confusion. The skeptics will have mental aberration.
This is fearful, but still it paves the way to Salvation. This is the new final appeal that we
make to Thee. This will create tremors in human hearts. Then all will cry aloud
entreating Thee to save them and prepare them for Thy coming. Or they will at least
prepare themselves for their own Salvation. We praise Thee for Thou art going to cause
this tremor.
· When people are busy with their jobs, we see that on hearing about the arrival of
somebody, announced by some others, they stop their work and listen to the message.
So also do the people in this world when they hear us proclaiming that the Lord Jesus is
coming again, soon. As our declaration rings in their ears, they will listen carefully.
Some may believe and some may not. Yet, we should not mind. Lord, send the message
of Thy coming in this manner, loud and clear.
· Our dear Lord, how can Thy salvation and Advent message reach the cannibals? If
preachers go to them they kill and eat them. Such people live in Assam, Naga hills and
forests in Africa. Some live naked. Some have assumed the form of gibbons. They have
no intellect. How can the salvation and Thy advent message reach them ? Some
missionaries went for the purpose and were consumed by them who also ate up their
clothes. How can we make them hear this Gospel?

· If a great dignitary the like the Governor of a State is expected to visit, people keep the
area decent and presentable by cleaning up the houses, white washing them and keeping
the roads well-trimmed. If the King of Kings is expected, should we not do much better?
Lord, grant us Thy grace to prepare ourselves suitably.
· When the first railway train passed through Rajahmundry, people came out of their
houses, fields and markets and ran to witness the new wonder. In the same way, people
should get ready from all the directions-- East, West, North and South, to join the Lord’s
train.
· Lord Jesus, as Thou art the Divine person anointed to bring Salvation to us, Thy people,
we give Thee eternal praises.
· Jesus, our Lord, it was prophesied in the Old Testament that Thou wouldst come in the
human incarnation into this World. They were all unique promises concerning Thy first
coming which became fore-runner of the ensuing Advent for which we praise Thee.
· Our Lord, Thy birth was unique among the human beings. It is a prelude to Thy second
coming. Hence our praises to Thee.
· Moreover, the life Thou didst lead in this world was great history. It points to Thy
second coming and we praise Thee.
· Our Lord, Thy death on the cross was something exclusive, not experienced by anybody
else. This points to Thy second coming. So, we exalt Thee.
· O Lord, Thy resurrection was glorious never known to anybody else. We see Thy second
coming in it, and we laud Thee.
· O Lord, Thy ascension is not only beyond the comprehension of people, but also a unique
one, unlike that of Enoch and Elijah. It is a sure sign of Thy second Advent.
· Thy expected coming generates desire in awaiting you in great suspense, and thus it is a
peculiar ascension of the Church. It is the solemnizing of the divine marriage. Thy
coming, riding on the clouds, is one that draws the Church to itself. It’s also a coming,
confusing the World. Therefore, our thanks to Thee. Prepare us for such a strange advent.
We salute Thee.
· Ever since the earth was formed, Thou hast been coming whenever Thy devotees are
calling upon Thee. If we count them, they would be many occasions of Thy coming
meant for each one. Therefore, we glorify Thee.
· When certain officials are expected to visit a village, the village munsif makes a
proclamation and orders the people to keep the streets clean, removing garbage and other
obstructions, white-wash the houses with frontage on the street, at their own cost. The
people obey without protest. Likewise, signs are proclaiming the coming of Lord Jesus
Christ. The preachers exhort you to clean up your hearts and prepare yourselves
confessing your sins. They don’t enter into your hearts to do the job. You have to do at
your own initiative. You have to offer prayers and praises spontaneously. You have to
learn the lessons of his coming by yourselves. Lord, create in us the ability and the
possibility to prepare ourselves for Thy coming. So we laud Thee.
· Even the saints and angels in heaven are eagerly waiting for the Lord’s Advent, although
they are not in need. How much more eager should we be, knowing that we need
salvation ?O Lord, the people around us are asking when Thou art coming. Answer
them on our behalf.
· O Lord, we are informing the world about the salvation and thy coming in our own
manner. Now we entreat Thee to instruct us to proclaim Thy salvation and coming in
Thine own manner of Thy manner we are ignorant. As Thou art going to give the
message of Thy coming, we praise Thee.

· In a certain village there were many clashes. A man came to see his ailing daughter and
found the depraved situation of the village. He felt that it was not safe to keep his
daughter there, and took her away. Likewise, this is a filthy world, a world steeped in
sin, a world of troubles caused by sins, a world of famines, diseases, poisonous reptiles,
devoid of hope, a world of death and evil spirits and a world of men under the direct
influence of devil. So, the Lord will take us to the heavenly abode and that is the second
coming. Would the daughter decline to go with her father? Similarly, we also should not
hesitate go into the clouds with the Lord. We should declare to God ‘I am ready’ my
God and my Lord, and for declaring thus, we trust Thou wilt grant us Thy grace and we
praise Thee.

· The billowing waves in a sea make noise caused by strong winds, both day and night.
Like that wind, God’s Holy spirit is moving the hearts of the faithful without ceasing.
Then they praise God for receiving the salvation and rejoice in the coming of the Lord
with praises. O Lord teach us both such kinds of praises.

· Our Lord, the sun, the moon and the stars, Thou didst create in the beginning of the
creation are still shining in the firmament. They are moving in their appointed spheres.
In the same way, bless us to walk steadfastly with the lights of joy and prepare us for
Thy Advent. Grant us Thy grace to glorify Thee for Thy Salvation and the hope of
Advent.

· O Lord, make our spirits Thou hast placed in us keep on meditating upon Thee. Grant us
Thy grace to make our spirits one with Thee. Enable us to praise Thee with our spirit,
and we trust and believe that Thou wilt give us the mind to praise Thee regarding the
Salvation and Thy coming till the time we reach Thy cloud of Shekhina. And for this we
offer our grateful thanks.

· Lord, transform our written praises into praises which are true and acceptable to Thee.
What is written may be erased; but the praise received through the help of Thy spirit
remains indelible. We magnify Thee for granting us such praise.

· O, God, grant us Thy grace to make our praises as sure and genuine as the written
document.

· The Lord’s coming is as certain as the Salvation, Make our exaltation and preparation as
certain.

· While attaining to the glory of heaven we discard our mortal coil. Similarly, enable us to
shed our shortcomings which maybe in our praises. Advent preparation and faith.

· The praising prayers written on paper with pen may be blotted out. But the praises
written by the spirit on the parchment of heart shall not be removed. We beseech Thee
to write thus.

· A certain young man, by name Jesudas, migrated to Rajahmundry from the nearby
district. He started roaming on the roads and also dancing while preaching to people
about the second coming of Christ and urging them to know, to pray and to prepare.
People would come running in groups and listen to him out of curiosity. He did not
have any salary for doing it. He was an illiterate. He would go into the streets in the
morning and preach till twelve noon. Then he would sit under a tree and ask God to feed
him as he had done his service. Somebody would come, and finding his need, give him
some food. One day he went to Dowleswaram, a village near Rajahmundry, and started
preaching. The police put him behind the bars. There, from the prison he preached to the
constables and the inspector. Then they let him off saying that he was God’s servant.
Those who are educated have to do the Lord’s work still more in preaching about his
coming. Let us pray that God may raise such preachers. This man got his food through faith. In
another incident, he happened to be walking through a forest, and saw a tgiger sitting on the way.
He started ringing the cymbals and jumping, and told the tiger that as he did not come to harm
him, he also should not. So saying, he jumped in front of the tiger, and the tiger fled. Such
people with deep faith can be ready for the coming of the Lord. They can defy the devil. O Lord,
grant us Thy grace to have such faith to defy Satan.

· In the present day world, some people are printing the Gospel tracts and distributing
them to a large number of people. They are doing this inspired by the Lord. Among
the tracts, (1) some refer to the modern times, 2) some others speak of the second
coming of the Lord and (3) the rest speak of the prophecies. These tracts are being
sent gratis. As these are being blessed by the Lord, may He be praised.
· It is twenty centuries since the birth of Christianity and during these twenty
centuries, what things happened, how many accepted Christ, how many signs of the
Lord’s coming were manifested, what kind of glory was given to the Lord thorugh
them and what things were happening in the World, were all recorded by Father Deva
das in a book which he preserved carefully. Subsequently somebody took it,
promising to return it. He has not sent it back till now. If the book can be traced, all
the signs of His coming will be known, and any amount of God’s work can be done.
Please pray for the retrieval of the book. It will help us to know how the heathen
turned to Christ and how they were blessed.
PRAYER: Gracious Father, some people are preparing themselves for Thy coming and
some are not.. Some are intending to prepare and some are making efforts to prepae, but they
are unable to prepare. So, help us all prepare fo r Thy coming and have the privilege of joining
Thee into the Final Dispensation.
· King Saul, despite being anointed, and receiving the spirit and being victorious in
battles finally went astray. In the same way, some Christians remain steadfast almost till
the end, and get dispirited and lose themselves at the eleventh hour. We thank Thee, for
Thou wilt keep us from falling victim to such situations.
· Those who have never heard about the Salvation nor the Second Advent, may succeed in
being accepted in the last moments, just as those who reach the railway station late, may
be able to catch the train as it is in motion. Did not the thief on the cross have a change
of heart in that last moment? We believe that Thou wilt give us grace to partake of Thy
coming in that manner, for which we express our grateful praise.
· Some people experience the change of heart while on death bed, and very few of them
get prepared for Thy coming, and that is out of Thy grace. We implore Thee to grant us
that grace, and we give our thanks.
· Some believers are in the process of completing their good works when the Advent
happens and some who are ready for Thy Advent, may join Thee even if they are having
their food. We trust that Thou wilt grant us the grace of being Ruptured in whatever
state we are at the time, and for that we express our thanks.
· Some of Thy faithful are raised into Thy Rapture even while sleeping and for that our
heart-felt gratitude.
· Some believer might be mourning the death of another person elsewhere. Yet, he may be
Raptured.
· One would like to return to native home as in the case of a daughter going to her father’s
place. So also the faithful await the coming of the Lord as the bride waits for the
bridegroom’s arrival. So, the Church like the Bride shall meet the Bridegroom Jesus as
He comes. Those who fail to ‘wait’ shall miss it. We praise Thee, Lord, because Thou
wilt help us become the ‘Waiting Church’.
