TODAY'S TONIC DAILY DEVOTIONAL With Sam O. ADETULA SPECIAL BREAKING NEWS FROM HEAVEN TO YOU / OUR DAILY BIBLE STUDY SERIES TOPIC: THERE IS HOPE FOR YOU IN GOD DAY 18: “The Signs That the Rapture Is Near” DAILY BIBLE MEMORY VERSE: Matthew 24:33 (KJV) – “So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors.” INTRODUCTION God has not left us without clues. Like road signs pointing toward a destination, Scripture reveals visible events and conditions that signal the nearness of the Rapture. The question is not whether signs exist—but whether we are paying attention. TEXTS FOR STUDY: Matthew 24:3–14 2 Timothy 3:1–5 Luke 21:25–28 REFLECTION Imagine a traveler on a journey. As he gets closer to his destination, he begins to see familiar signs—landmarks, direction boards, even the skyline of the city. That’s where we are in God’s prophetic calendar. The signs are everywhere—the return of Jesus is nearer than ever. Jesus Himself listed several signs in Matthew 24: wars and rumors of wars, earthquakes, pestilences, famines, betrayal, persecution, and increasing lawlessness. Do these sound familiar? We don’t just read about these signs in the Bible anymore—we see them in the news every day. Paul also warned in 2 Timothy 3:1–5 that in the last days, perilous times would come. People would be lovers of themselves, boastful, unholy, disobedient, pleasure-seeking, and truth-resistant. Doesn’t this describe our generation with chilling accuracy? In Luke 21:25–28, Jesus adds that there would be distress among nations, fear, and confusion due to natural and cosmic upheavals. But He gave us a divine instruction: “When these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.” These signs are not meant to terrify us, but to prepare us. They remind us that we’re not home yet—and that we must live as those who are leaving soon. The hour is late. The signs are clear. The trumpet is close. Are you ready? Are you watching? Are your hands clean and your heart pure? Now is the time to wake from spiritual sleep and align your life with eternity. CONCLUSION We are the generation that’s seeing the fulfillment of the end-time signs. The Rapture is not centuries away—it is at the door. Live ready. Walk in holiness. Preach the Gospel. Your redemption is near. NOTE FOR ACTION: Watch the news through the lens of prophecy. Pray: “Lord, help me not to be blind to the signs. Keep me awake, watching, and clean.” Declare: “The signs are clear—Jesus is coming. I will not miss it!” FOR QUESTIONS OR TESTIMONY: 📧: [email protected] 📞: 08035398659, +2348058095292 https://youtu.be/R7Ev4dLC738?si=riQQYLNzg0Y_Wbdl
