THE ROAD TO EMMAUS 1. THE ROAD TO EMMAUS pricks our conscience ever the more as prophecy is daily fulfilled in readiness for the appearance of Jesus Christ. We are as Cleopas and his mate, well versed in signs and events pertaining to our time, “And the one of them, whose name was Cleopas, answering said unto him, Art thou only a stranger in Jerusalem, and hast not known the things which are come to pass there in these days?” [Luke 24:18] We may never know why the two men left Jerusalem and the company of disciples on such a day to visit Emmaus; the day Jesus rose from the dead! However, they did and a day of JOY, the fulfilment of the HOPE of many generations was turned to a season of sadness and confusion, “And he said unto them, WHAT MANNER OF COMMUNICATION ARE THESE that ye have one to another, as ye walk, and are SAD?” [Luke 24:17] Alas,THE ROAD TO EMMAUS is once more filled with stragglers; disciples retreating from FAITH into despair and confusion as the BEAST bares his fangs. And for the last time, the Lord is back on the road, “Confirming the souls of the disciples, and exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that we must through MUCH TRIBULATION ENTER into the KINGDOM of God” [Acts 14:22] 2.THE ROAD TO EMMAUS beckons when Bible prophecy is entrusted to personal interpretation, “Knowing this first, that NO PROPHECY of the scripture is of any PRIVATE INTERPRETATION” [2 Peter 1:20] It is a road paved with apprehension, the disciples had “TRUSTED” that Jesus would overthrow the Roman occupation and “REDEEM” the honour of God’s people but were disappointed, “But WE TRUSTED that it had been he which should have REDEEMED ISRAEL: and beside all this, to day is the third day since these things were done” [Luke 24:21] Israel was not ignorant of promise of the Messiah, the people were led astray by their religious leaders who interpreted prophecy through prisms of selfishness. They provoked unbelief in the people, so much so, disciples who had walked and dined with Jesus, and heard Him speak severally of His resurrection were trapped in doubts, “Yea, and certain women also of our company made us astonished, which were early at the sepulchre;  And when they found not his body, they came, saying, that they had also seen a vision of angels, which said that he was alive” [Luke 24:22-23] The similarities are uncanny, it is not hard to see religious leaders distorting the promise of our inheritance in Christ for gain, “And many shall follow their PERNICIOUS WAYS; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of. And through COVETOUSNESS shall they with feigned words MAKE MERCHANDISE OF YOU … their damnation slumbereth not” [2 Peter 2:2-3] 3. THE ROAD TO EMMAUS is crowded with otherwise good folks, men such as Cleopas and his fellow disciple, brethren who in sane times trusted in Scriptures pertaining to Christ but these are not normal times. Listen carefully, the same Scriptures that assured us of Christ’s imminent appearance also warned of a perilous season preceding our translation, “MEN’S HEARTS FAILING THEM FOR FEAR, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken. And then shall they see the SON OF MAN COMING in a cloud with power and great glory” [Luke 21:26-27] It is true the times are tough perhaps tougher than we expected, add to that unfulfilled expectations and not a few are driven by doubts to EMMAUS. It is a shame to see charlatans busy cashing in on palpable misery to draw men to EMMAUS with lies in the name of the Lord, “Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and DESTITUTE OF THE TRUTH, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself” [1 Timothy 6:5] Are we now greater than Jesus and His Apostles who endured tribulation of their days without breaking ranks? It is enough the disciple is as his Master; Jesus said to Cleopas and his mate, and indeed all of us, “Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken: Ought not Christ to have SUFFERED THESE THINGS, and to ENTER TO GLORY?” [Luke 24:25-26] 4. THE ROAD TO EMMAUS is not for you; Jesus loves you and remembers your fervent beginning in FAITH, “Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast LEFT THY FIRST LOVE. Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and REPENT, and DO THE FIRST WORKS, else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou REPENT” [Revelation 2:4-5] What Jesus said to one, He says to all; let us remember how we once trusted in every word in the Bible not doubting and in all things acknowledged His WISDOM. Can we say the same today? How soon our eyes were blinded by stale “BREAD” leavened with vanities of hypocrisy, “I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and ANOINT THINE EYES with EYESALVE, that THOU MAYEST SEE” [Revelation 3:18] Let us remember how we jumped to interpret  every global event to suit our arrogance, wrongly dividing the word of truth. Today, Jesus is at the door, if we will reconsider and allow Him in, He will rightly break the LIVING BREAD; open our eyes and restore our strength to return to Him, “… he took bread, and blessed it, and brake, and gave to them. And their EYES WERE OPENED, and they knew him; and he vanished out of their sight. And they ROSE UP THE SAME HOUR, and RETURNED TO JERUSALEM,  …” [Luke 24:30-31,33] Are you born again? https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029VbDK98g5kg6wucH5rO02

HOPE IN A HOPELESS GENERATION 1. The most powerful nations were HOPELESS against COVID-19 even as cutting-edge technology is HELPLESS against CLIMATE CHANGE. The glory of human civilization is demystified as the world settles into a NEW NORMAL. There is palpable fear and frustration on many faces, but I have GOOD NEWS for you, “WHEN MEN ARE CAST DOWN, then, then thou shalt say, THERE IS LIFTING UP; and he shall save the HUMBLE PERSON” [Job 22:29] Are you trapped in generational poverty, cast down in sickness, lost your livelihood or devastated by loss of a loved? The situation looks HOPELESS in the face of daunting global DISTRESS, listen, there is HOPE in Jesus Christ, “For there is HOPE FOR A TREE, if it be CUT DOWN, that it will SPROUT AGAIN, and that the tender branch thereof will not cease. … Yet THROUGH THE SCENT OF WATER IT WILL BUD, and BRING FORTH boughs like a plant” [Job 14:7-9] HOPE in this HOPELESS GENERATION is the heritage of HEIRS of the PROMISE made to Abraham “WHO AGAINST HOPE BELIEVED IN HOPE, that he might become the FATHER OF MANY NATIONS,according to that which was spoken, So shall thy SEED be” [Romans 4:18] We are the SEED of Abraham through FAITH in Jesus Christ and are BLESSED in Him, notwithstanding the rot in the world, as it is written: "That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith" (Galatians 3:14) 2. The woman in Mark 5:25-34 found HOPE in a HOPELESS SITUATION; she found Jesus Christ after twelve years of sheer agony “And had SUFFERED MANY THINGS of many physicians, and had SPENT ALL THAT SHE HAD, and was nothing bettered, but rather GREW WORSE” [Mark 5:25] When she HEARD Jesus was in town, HOPE was kindled in her; HOPE furnished FAITH and FAITH, a strong determination to break the shackles of HOPELESSNESS, “For she said, If I may TOUCH HIS CLOTHES, I shall be whole” [Mark 5:28] She battled through the crowd and pushed aside detractors to TOUCH Him, “And he said unto her, Daughter, THY FAITH hath made thee whole; go in PEACE, and BE WHOLE OF THY PLAGUE” Mark 5:34] Whatever your situation; are you terribly sick, in prison or about to commit suicide? There is HOPE for you, reach out to Jesus Christ by FAITH right now. As long as that woman was without Christ, she was enslaved to terror of DARKNESS perhaps as you are; Jesus Christ is the LIGHT of the world, listen to Him “… I AM THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD: he that followeth me SHALL NOT WALK IN DARKNESS, but shall have the LIGHT OF LIFE” [John 8:12] While that woman in DARKNESS, “SUFFERED MANY THINGS”, including but not restricted to hospitalization, drug addiction, loss of livelihood, diverse fears, demonic afflictions, etc,. Your situation may be worse, notwithstanding, there is HOPE for you in that seemingly HOPELESS SITUATION; the worst offender is welcome to SALVATION in Jesus Christ, as it is written: "All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and HIM THAT COMETH TO ME I WILL IN NO WISE CAST OUT" (John 6:37) If you will REPENT of your SINS and BELIEVE in the Lord Jesus Christ, you will have PEACE in His SALVATION and experience His glorious LIFE, “… Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldest BELIEVE, thou shouldest see the GLORY OF GOD?” [John 11:40] 3. Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus, had a decent Jewish upbringing else the Bible would not mention his father’s name, but he was BLIND and a BEGGAR Mark 10:47-52] You know, sometimes, those who know and serve the Lord find themselves in what looks a HOPELESS SITUATION but are never ashamed of Christ or lose HOPE in Him because they know He has the solution to their challenges “And HOPE MAKETH NOT ASHAMED; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us” [Romans 5:5] When it seemed all HOPE was lost, Jesus showed up, “And when he HEARD that it was JESUS OF NAZARETH, he began to cry out, and say, JESUS, THOU SON OF DAVID, have mercy on me” [Mark 10:47] Listen closely, whereas the crowd chanted “JESUS OF NAZARETH”, Bartimaeus said “JESUS, SON OF DAVID”. You do not know the difference; the multitudes spoke what they heard from men, Bartimaeus spoke by REVELATION of DEEP THINGS of God pertaining to Jesus Christ, as it is written: “He shall be GREAT, and shall be called the SON OF THE HIGHEST: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of HIS FATHER DAVID” [Luke 1:32] By prophetic utterance, the embers of HOPE in him exploded into flames of FAITH and caught the attention of the Lord, “And JESUS STOOD STILL, and COMMANDED HIM TO BE CALLED. And they call the blind man, saying unto him, Be of good comfort, RISE; HE CALLETH THEE” [Mark 10:49] No one told Bartimaeus what to say and none spoke for him; as a child of God, I challenge you to dig deep into the depths of Christ in you and speak to that HOPELESS situation. 4. There was a man at the Pool of Bethesda, sick for THIRTY-EIGHT YEARS! His situation was by outward appearance HOPELESS, but he kept HOPE alive, HOPING against HOPE, “For an ANGEL went down at a certain season into the pool, and troubled the water: whosoever then first after the troubling of the water stepped in was made whole of whatsoever disease he had. And a certain man was there, which had an infirmity THIRTY and EIGHT YEARS” [John 5:4] This man was there before Jesus was born on earth and HELD ON in PATIENCE, BELIEVING God for his deliverance. As he was at the Pool of Bethesda, rejected and subject to vicissitudes of living in a dying world, I charge you to be PATIENT as he was. PATIENCE is our anchor whose HOPE is in Christ for REDEMPTION in stormy seas of this world, , “For surely THERE IS AN END; and thine EXPECTATION SHALL NOT BE CUT OFF” [Proverbs 23:18] As the world staggers from confusion to palpable frustration, our PATIENCE is strengthened by FAITH in His PROMISE of REDEMPTION: “And when THESE THINGS begin to come to pass, then LOOK UP, and lift up your heads; for your REDEMPTION draweth nigh” [Luke 21:28] As the world settle into NEW NORMAL of “THESE THINGS”, I charge you to renew your HOPE in Him, PATIENTLY preparing yourself for His appearance, “For YE HAVE NEED OF PATIENCE, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the PROMISE” [Hebrews 10:36] 5. Finally, if you are not BORN AGAIN, you have neither ACCESS nor HOPE in the SALVATION preached in the name of Jesus. Accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour today and be established in HOPE of ABUNDANT LIFE, now and in the world to come amen www.voiceoflasttrumpets.com
