The Appointment


When ever my doctor schedules an appointment for me to come and see him, I always hate them.But not all appointments Enoch had an appointment with God and so did Elijah. Certainly appointments none of us would ever want to miss right? Not all of God's appointments are heaven bound, example is with  Philip wasn't caught up to heaven, but he was suddenly relocated. After he took the time to explain the truth to the Ethiopia gentleman about the word of God and the offer that God has given to all mankind if they will simply believe and receive and they can be saved and a holly appointment is then scheduled for them. After the Ethiopia heard and believed the truth he asked Philip to baptized him. Then we read, "When they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord snatched Philip away".  God had another  appointment for Philip which was farther north at a town called Azotus. One day you will have your own appointment with God, are you ready to meet the creator of heaven and earth, the potter, the Alpha and the Omega, the great I'm?  The word of God tells  me this" it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment".Let each of be read for our appointment to stand before the Lord our God and give an account of all we have done, for no man knows the hour in which the Lord God will call upon you. I think of the story of the rich farmer who decided that his harvest was going to be more than his present storehouse could support so he put all his effort and energy into building a bigger storehouse, and that night the Lord demand of him his life. What do you suppose this rich farm had to show when the Lord said can you tell what did you do with the life I gave you? What did you for my name sake?  How did you life speak of me?  At what point in your life did you make me your first priority?

 By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God  (Hebrews 11:5).
