Sunday 28th July 2019 Prayer Devotion
Scripture Reading:- Matthew 24:33-45
Topic:- I Am Close To The House
Text:- 1 Thessalonians 5:2
It was one cool evening, Motunrayo tied her wrapper firmly by her waist with Bible, jotter and a pen on her right hand.
She headed to the backyard to study for an hour knowing that her husband Tope wouldn’t return from work until about 2 hours later.
She was deeply engrossed in the study and suddenly she checked her phone clock and decided to ring Tope and say hello.
“Hello oko mi” “Hi dear” Tope replied. “How’s work today?” “Fine.” “Where are you, still in the office?” “Yes.” Tope pretended. “Okay then, see you soon; just checking on you.” She replied.
With serious laughter at the other end of the phone, Tope announced, “I am close to the house.” “What? Uhn? What did you say? Are you serious?” “I am close to the house.” Tope said with a serious tone.
Marathon race began. Motunrayo packed her Bible and other materials in haste! “He mustn’t meet me in this way.” She ran into the living room, removed her wrapper, changed to an evening gown. She rushed into the kitchen to do her dirty dishes and in the twinkle of an eye with a mobbing brush in her right hand, she rushed out of the kitchen into the bathroom to dry the floor.
Panting and smiling she picked up her broom to sweep the bedroom, living room, kitchen and their balcony. Thereafter, she sat down and expected the return of her hubby. Why the hurry and scurry? Motunrayo knew Tope her hubby hates having dirty dishes inside the sink, wet toilet floor during the day, (that place is his inspiration room), and he hates his woman tying wrapper in the house. Thinking he wouldn’t come home till around 7-8pm, she flaunted all his dislikes.
This happened to me. And after I settled down, the Holy Spirit told me, “Can you now see the reason why no man is permitted to know the time for the second coming of Christ?”
