Readiness

~ Are You Prepared and Ready In 7 Critical Areas? ~

 

Ready To Hear (discipleship)  ~  “Keep thy foot when thou go into the house of God, and be more ready to hear, than to give the sacrifice of fools: for they consider not that they do evil” (Ecclesiastes 5:1).

 

Ready To Do (service)  ~  “And the king’s servants said to the king, ‘We are your servants, ready to do whatever my lord the king commands’” (2 Samuel 15:15).

 

Ready To Witness (evangelization)  ~  “But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts, and always be ready to give a defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you, with meekness and fear; having a good conscience, that when they defame you as evildoers, those who revile your good conduct in Christ may be ashamed” (1 Peter 3:15-16). 

 

Ready To Give (stewardship)  ~  “Therefore I thought it necessary to exhort the brethren to go to you ahead of time, and prepare your generous gift beforehand, which you had previously promised, that it may be ready as a matter of generosity and not as a grudging obligation” (2 Corinthians 9:5).

 

Ready To Preach (instruction)  ~   “I am a debtor both to Greeks and to barbarians, both to wise and to unwise.  So, as much as is in me, I am ready to preach the gospel to you who are in Rome also” (Romans 1:14-15).

 

Ready To Suffer or Die (commitment)  ~  “Paul answered, ‘What do you mean by weeping and breaking my heart?  For I am ready not only to be bound, but also to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus’” (Acts 21:13).

 

Ready For The Rapture (eternal joy)  ~  Jesus said, “Therefore you also be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect” (Mathew 24:44).
