#IT'S_A_SIGN

_ Know your signs

Key Scripture: Matthew 24:3

And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the age?

Dear friend, 

Certain things will not take us by surprise if only we are able to identify our signs. Reason being that, most things cannot happen without a number of signs preceeding them. For example; before you get a promotion at the office or a couple files for a divorce, before a woman gives birth or before a prayer is answered or before a relationship ends, there is always a sign. Sometimes we do not identify our signs as signs even though we see them. Jesus speaking to his disciples told them to look out for certain signs, and when they see those signs,  they should know this or that is about to happen.

What are your signs?

However, a sign is a visible indication that something is about to happen. The sign is not what is about to happen, it is only an indication to what is about to happen. Our signs may differ simply because our happenings are different. That is to say, the signs that accompany the delivery of a child is totally different from the signs that accompany maturity in a young adult. These signs make it increasingly  impossible for anyone not to know what is about the happen. 

Choosing to ignore your signs does not mean you did not have any. Your quest for a sign should be greater with an increase in expectation.

Sometimes all we need is a sign. Look for your signs...

There is absolutely nothing wrong to ask God for a sign. God in his mercy does not leave us without a sign, because they are good pointers leading to your destination. The difference is in what you do with your signs.

The disciples of Jesus met him and asked for three things, namely:

1. When will this be?

2. What will be the sign of your coming ?

3. What will be the sign of the end of age?

These questions and the answers Jesus gave made me see that the end of age is different from the second coming of Christ Jesus, and so does the signs. Most of the signs we see today are pointers to the end of age. Simply because the end of age will precede His coming. 

Time and space with fail me to explain in details, but all I want you to see today is that, "COVID-19 is just a sign."  We are not expected to panic at the face of a sign, because signs are pointers to our desired destination. 

Three questions to ask yourself when you see a sign.

1. What is the sign about?

Is it about the child I prayed for? Is it about my health? Is it about bringing my family  back together? Is it about my faith? Or is it about my safety ?

2. What am I expected to do?

Am I expect to rejoice, pray, stay in faith, avoid certain things, believe what was said, buy baby stuffs, enlarge my capacity or take a break?

3. Where will this ultimately lead to?

This is the most important. If we don't know where the sign is pointing us towards, we would get overly worried and afraid without knowing what to do by just seeing our signs.

Look out for your signs!
