Anticipating His Coming

Daily Decree

on May 10, 2020 by Brenda Kunneman

WE decree that you never lose sight of His glorious second coming! May you continue to anticipate the return of our Lord, for your redemption draws near. May those in this day who mock and ignore the day of the Lord’s return have no ability to sway your focus and expectation to see Jesus. We break the power of all dimness of vision, distraction, and lethargy that would remove your eyes from your heavenly reward. May you be in line with the Scriptures that declare, “Come quickly, Lord Jesus!” We say you are found among the faithful saints who anticipate His appearing. We declare you are a vessel prepared with oil in your lamp awaiting the bridegroom. We decree you are one in whom the day of the Lord shall not overtake you as a thief, but that you will be ready and expectant at all times. May a renewed excitement for the Lord’s soon return well up from within you and may the joy of His coming refresh you today!

SCRIPTURE

Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness (2 Peter 3:13).

WORD OF ENCOURAGEMENT

A few decades ago, you didn’t have to look far to hear a sermon that carried the message that Jesus is coming soon. Nowadays these sermons are less common, yet we are closer to His coming than ever. If there is anything that we need more of, it’s a greater anticipation of the Lord’s return. The Bible tells us that His return should not hit us by surprise (see 1 Thess. 5:4). We are supposed to be in a place of daily expectation regarding His coming. Like the five wise virgins in Matthew 25, we should have oil in our lamps ready to meet the bridegroom.
That means we should be constantly preparing our lives to meet Jesus. We have to be careful that we don’t let all the busyness and distractions of this life take our eyes off that fact that Jesus’ return is imminent. We must always be able to say, “Come quickly, Lord Jesus!”
