WHERE IS THE PROMISE OF HIS COMING?

OLUBI JOHNSON

2Peter 3:3-4 KJV
Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.

Here the scripture tells us that in these last days scoffers will be asking us the Church, “Where is the promise of His coming?”
A similar thought is echoed in the book of Joel, “…wherefore should they say among the people, ‘Where is their God?’ ” (Joel 2:17).

Since the restoration of the baptism of the Holy Spirit with the initial evidence of speaking in tongues at about the beginning of the last century (about 1900-1906), there have been several prophesies by great spiritual fathers like E.W. Kenyon, Smith Wigglesworth, Kenneth Hagin, S.G. Elton and others.

These fathers prophesied that a great manifestation of the power of the Holy Spirit: the perfection and fulness of Christ in the Church, enabling us to do the works the Lord Jesus did and greater, would be coming to the Church (Col. 1:27-28; Jn.14:12).

However, since the death of all these spiritual fathers, this manifestation has, so far, not yet taken place.
Many are asking, “Where is this promise of His coming?”

We are now in AUGUST 2019 and this great manifestation has still not yet come!

The truth is that His coming in us has already started internally and the fulness is about to appear outwardly (2Cor. 13:5; 1Jn. 3:2).

Luke 17:20-21 KJV: And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation: Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is WITHIN you.

God is doing a thorough work in us before the outward manifestation begins (Heb. 10:35-37; Jas. 1:4).

So we are to continue to wait actively by watching and praying always in the Spirit until the outward manifestation comes (Hab. 2:3; Rom. 8:23).

Galatians 5:5 KJV: For WE THROUGH THE SPIRIT WAIT FOR THE HOPE of righteousness by faith.

Colossians 1:27-28 KJV
To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory: Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus:
