SCRIPTURE READING
Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed (1 Corinthians 15:51).
Rhapsody of Realities 19 April 2026 Devotional | MESSAGE
Contrary to religious assumptions, the Bible doesn’t say everybody is going to die. Ponder again our opening verse of scripture: The Spirit, through the Apostle Paul, unveils a mystery: we shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed.
In other words, there’s a generation of the Church that’ll see the Rapture without experiencing death, and that’s our generation because we believe and walk in this revelation. Our faith is incontrovertible. That translation that we’re going to have, which is called the Rapture of the church, is going to be an expression of our faith. It’s not going to happen with unbelief.
God gave us Enoch in the Old Testament as an example. The Bible says, “By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death…” (Hebrews 11:5). He was raptured by faith. But before his translation, he had the testimony that he pleased God, and the Bible says without faith it’s impossible to please God (Hebrews 11:6).
Enoch walked with God by faith, and one day, “…he was not; for God took him” (Genesis 5:24). In the same way, the Church will be translated from this earth by faith very soon. The Lord is coming for a people who are in faith, ready and expectant, living in the consciousness of His soon return.
Expectation is faith in demonstration. Like the man at the gate called Beautiful, who looked at Peter and John, expecting to receive something, our gaze is on the Lord, expecting His appearing. Remember what the Word says, “…unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation” (Hebrews 9:28).
Hence, if anyone criticises your strong message of faith, remind them of Enoch, a man whose faith was such that he left this world without experiencing death. You belong to that same lineage of faith. You’re being built by the Word for that glorious moment.
Therefore, keep your heart set on Him. Live every day with the consciousness that you’re in the generation privileged to bring the message of the Gospel to its fullness and to anticipate and experience the Rapture of the Church. Glory to God!
CONFESSION
I live in joyful expectation of the coming of the Lord, walking in faith and pleasing Him in all things. My life is ordered by God’s Word; I am steadfast, unmovable, always abounding in the work of God. I walk in righteousness and in the light of God’s Word, looking forward to the appearing of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.
