ARE YOU PREPARED TO MEET HIM

Scripture: Amos 4:12 “Therefore thus will I do unto thee, O Israel: and because I will do this unto thee, prepare to meet thy God, O Israel.”

     On April 14, 1912, at 11:40 p.m. ships time, the greatest maritime disaster of all time took place. The ship was said to be unsinkable. No way that this ship can go down, but four days into the voyage that ship began to sink. It was reported that it was said that “Even God cannot sink this ship.”
     They were saying, “We don’t need any help from God, we can control our circumstances, we can control our destiny. But they were so wrong, they needed God so much more than they realized. A strange thing happened on the maiden voyage of the Titanic. It went down!
     The ship had taken three years to build at the cost of 7.5 million dollars. It was a picture of luxury, but they didn’t have enough lifeboats on the ship.
     The voyage was based on false security. They boarded with ship with complete confidence that they were safe. So many in this hour are living their lives on false hopes. They base their eternal destination on false theories, rather than facts from the Word of God.
     In this story we see the frailty of man. Man thinks he’s something. He thinks he has all the answers. They thought their ship could never go down, but it did! We see the foolishness of man. While the ship was going down, they never tried to prepare!
     There were men on board that ship that could have bought and paid for it, but they couldn’t by a seat on a lifeboat. Many had thousands of dollars in their pockets but how little value their money was.
     This story shows us that in the final analysis, “What would it profit a man if he gain the whole world and lose his own soul.” Friend, there is and unsinkable ship today and it’s the Old Ship of Zion! Are you on board? It’s Captain in Jesus and its destination is Heaven. Why not get on board?
