HE IS COMING!

1 Peter 4:7 (KJV)
But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayer.

The events and happenings all around the world today are clear indications that the Lord’s return is approaching, sooner than many think. We’re in the last days, the end of the end. You might think this talk is inappropriate right now, seeing that the festive season is in full swing; therefore, only cheerful talk should be entertained. But I tell you, brothers and sisters, we must be awake and alert in the spirit now more than ever.

The message of the Lord Jesus coming soon is no gloomy topic! His very birth and exemplary life led to His glorious death that brought salvation for you and me! The scripture above says to be sober, which means be in the right mind; don’t get carried away by feasts while forgetting the reason why we feast. Be in prayer always
and stay focused.

This festive season, the best gift you can afford anyone is the gift of salvation. Many are still unprepared for the Lord’s return. It’s your duty to ensure as many as you can reach are aware of this. Let this drive be in you this season, and recommit to winning more souls to Christ.

PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I recommit to being a prolific soul winner. I shall win souls this festive season more than I’ve ever done in Jesus’ Name! Amen.

FIRST WEEK OF ADVENT YEAR B.

FIRST READING
“He will surely be gracious to you at the sound of your cry.”
ISAIAH 30: 19 - 21, 23 - 26

Thus says the Lord GOD, the Holy One of Israel: Yes, O people in Zion who dwell at Jerusalem; you shall weep no more. He will surely be gracious to you at the sound of your cry; when he hears it, he will answer you. And though the Lord give you the bread of adversity and the water of affliction, yet your Teacher will not hide himself any more, but your eyes shall see your Teacher. And your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, “This is the way, walk in it,” when you turn to the right or when you turn to the left. And he will give rain for the seed with which you sow the ground, and grain, the produce of the ground, which will be rich and plenteous. In that day your flock will be given pasture, and the lamb will graze in open fields; and the oxen and the donkeys that till the ground will eat salted food, which has been winnowed with shovel and fork. And upon every lofty mountain and every high hill there will be brooks running with water, in the day of the great slaughter, when the towers fall. Moreover the light of the moon will be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun will be sevenfold, as the light of seven days, in the day when the Lord binds up the hurt of his people, and heals the wounds inflicted by his blow.

The Word of the Lord.

How good to sing psalms to our God;

GOSPEL
“When he saw the crowds, he had compassion for them."
MATTHEW 9: 35 - 10: 1, 5a, 6 - 8

At that time: Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every disease and every infirmity. When he saw the crowds, he had compassion for them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful, but the labourers are few; pray therefore the Lord of the harvest to send out labourers into his harvest.” And he called to him his twelve disciples and gave them authority over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal every disease and every infirmity. These Twelve Jesus sent out, charging them, “Go to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. And preach as you go, saying, ‘The kingdom of heaven is at hand.’ Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse lepers, cast out demons. You received without pay, give without pay.”

The Gospel of the Lord.

SECOND SUNDAY OF ADVENT YEAR B

FIRST READING
“Prepare the way of the Lord.”
ISAIAH 40: 1 - 5, 9 - 11

Comfort, comfort my people, says your God. Speak tenderly to Jerusalem, and cry to her that her warfare is ended, that her iniquity is pardoned, that she has received from the Lord’s hand double for all her sins. A voice cries: “In the wilderness prepare the way of the Lord, make straight in the desert a highway for our God. Every valley shall be lifted up, and every mountain and hill be made low; the uneven ground shall become level, and the rough places a plain. And the glory of the LORD shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together, for the mouth of the Lord has spoken.” Get you up to a high mountain, O Zion, herald of good tidings; lift up your voice with strength, O Jerusalem, herald of good tidings, lift it up, fear not; say to the cities of Judah, “Behold your God!” Behold, the Lord God comes with might, and his arm rules for him; behold, his reward is with him, and his recompense before him. He will feed his flock like a shepherd, he will gather the lambs in his arms, he will carry them in his bosom, and gently lead those that are with young.

The Word of the Lord.


RESPONSORIAL PSALM
Psalm 85: 9ab and 10, 11 - 12, 13 - 14 (R.) 8

R/. Let us see, O Lord, your mercy and grant us your salvation.

I will hear what the Lord God speaks;
He speaks of peace for his people and his faithful,
His salvation is near for those who fear him,
And his glory will dwell in our land. R/.

Merciful love and faithfulness have met;
justice and peace have kissed.
Faithfulness shall spring from the earth,
and justice look down from heaven. R/.

Also the LORD will bestow his bounty,
and our earth shall yield its increase.
Justice will march before him,
And guide his steps on the way. R/.


SECOND READING
“We wait for new heavens and a new earth.”
2ND PETER 3: 8 - 14

Do not ignore this one fact, beloved, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. The Lord is not slow about his promise as some count slowness, but is for bearing towards you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance. But the day of the Lord will come like a thief, and then the heavens will pass away with a loud noise, and the elements will be dissolved with fire, and the earth and the works that are upon it will be burnt up. Since all these things are thus to be dissolved, what sort of persons ought you to be in lives of holiness and godliness, waiting for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be kindled and dissolved, and the elements will melt with fire! But according to his promise we wait. For new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness dwells. Therefore, beloved, since you wait for these, be zealous to be found by him without spot or blemish, and at peace.

The Word of the Lord.


GOSPEL ACCLAMATION
Luke 3: 4, 6

Alleluia.
Prepare the way for the Lord, make his paths straight; all flesh shall see the salvation of God.
Alleluia.


GOSPEL
“Make straight the paths of the Lord.”
MARK 1: 1 - 8

The beginning of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. As it is written in Isaiah the prophet, “Behold, I send my messenger before your face, who shall prepare your way; the voice of one crying in the wilderness: Prepare the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.” John the Baptist appeared in the wilderness, preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins. And there went out to him all the country of Judea, and all the people of Jerusalem; and they were baptized by him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins. Now John was clothed with camel’s hair, and had a leather belt around his waist, and ate locusts and wild honey. And he preached, saying, “After me comes he who is mightier than I, the thong of whose sandals I am not worthy to stoop down and untie. I have baptized you with water; but he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit.”

The Gospel of the Lord.
