Now I’m Ready 2 Tim. 4:6 For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand. 7 I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: 8 Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.
Now I’m Ready 2 Tim. 4:6 For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand. 7 I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: 8 Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.
Today is the day that we say farewell to the fair lady who was a sweet and kind member of this great Shiloh M.B.C. And the real thing about it is that we all must pass this way. All of us must go to the sweet by and by.Because my bible says Absent from the body is present with the Lord.

I was there at the hospital with the family we all had hope, but we all heard her say I’m tired, and we all knew deep down in our hearts that God was going to call her home and A famous poem says We knew that day that God was going to call your name. In life we loved you dearly, in death, we do the same. It broke our hearts to lose you. You did not go alone. For part of us went with you, The day God called you home. You left us beautiful memories, Your Love is still our guide. And although we cannot see you, You are always at our side. Our family chain is broken,And nothing seems the same,But as God calls us one by one, The chain will link up again. ATCSA. Brothers and sisters death had invaded the ranks of our family our church our loved one and our community. We lost a great soldier of the Cross.And just let me say this If Love could have kept her here… She’d still be here. Queisha baby girl you did your job. She was there she was there she was there.

And the truth is church when you get sick or you get old you never really know whether the Love that you gave to your children will reciprocate back you when you need it most. Laqueisha you did it right. And I heard Sister Joycelynn saying to Rev I’m tired. And I told that all of this was in God’s plan. And I said you don’t think that God has brought this far to leave you now do you? She said no I said well trust God in this moment because He got you in the Hollow of His hand and no devil in hell can’t pluck you out. But! you got to be ready.

Because Paul says in our theme text 6 For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand. 7 I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: 8 Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing. In this motif of a message we see a momentous statement. “I’m now ready” Listen to the tint tone and timbre in the text. I’m Now ready!!! Heaven is a prepared place for prepared people. I used to ask Mrs Audrey when I would visit her for communion and other times .What’s your determination and she would OH Rev I’m ready My determination is for heaven and emortal glory. Church You got to be ready. Jesus said that heaven is a prepared place for prepared people because in John 14:1 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. 2 In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. ATCSA.

Secondly the text teaches talks and tells is in our theme scripture in 2 Timothy 4: 6 in the b clause “And the time of my departure is at hand” The bible says everybody in here has a date with destiny. The key word here is Time. And in Eccles 3:1 To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: 2 A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted; 3 A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; 4 A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; 5 A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; 6 A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away; 7 A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak; 8 A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace. And all this is saying is that Time that has been won’t be no more. Because we don’t have as much time as we think, so what ever good that you can do, do it now!!! Don’t wait because tomorrow is not promised to anyone.

Thirdly the text says in verse 7 I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith:
Thirdly the text says in verse 7 I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith:
1. I have fought a good fight. We must fight the good fight of faith. It’s not an easy fight. If it was easy then everybody would be doing. But can I share with you that Whatever is worth having then it’s worth fighting for. And if you don’t stand for something you’ll fall for anything. So fight the good fight.

2. I have finished my course… A finished product give a person the feeling of completion a feeling of accomplishment and the feeling of achievement. And Sister Joyce lynn Finished here course And I heard her say this right down in my spirit-man tell my family “when tomorrow starts without me and I’m not there to see; If the sun should rise and find your eyes filled with tears for me. I wish so much that you wouldn’t cry the way you did today; While thinking of the many things we didn’t get to say.

I Know how much you love me as much as I love you; and each time that you think of me I know you’ll miss me too. But when tomorrow starts without me Please try to understand that an angel came and called my name and took me by the hand. She said my place was ready in heaven far above; and that I’d have to leave behind all those I dearly love. But as I turned to walk away a tear fell from my eye; For all my life, I’d thought I didn’t want to die. I had so much to live for My child and my grand child, it seemed almost impossible to leave them behind; but the angel said tell the family it’s ok because I’m with the Lord and I’ve changed my address to heaven.

Somebody said What’s the address” and I imagine him saying It’s at 12 Gates to the City Hallelujah Avenue in New Jerusalem, Heaven 77777. And if you want to see me again,2x make sure you know the Lord in the pardon of your sins. And family when tomorrow starts without me don’t think that we’re far a part because I’ll be right here with you in your heart. And the church said Amen.

Then the lastly thing the text says in verse 7 is “I have kept the faith:” Faith is the substance of things hope for and the evidence of things not seen right? You’ve got to know in you heart that God is real That’s Faith and you got know that there is a Heaven and that’s Faith. and the bible says in Revelation 14:13 Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them.

Because the last thing in our theme text is that Paul says in 2 Timothy 4:8 Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing. The bible say that God will give every man/woman their just reward because the Jesus said behold I come quickly and my reward is with me to give every man according to his works which he has done. That’s why myy grandmother nem use to say I’m sending up my timber on my brand new home over in glory. And can I share with you that if you don’t make no deposits you can’t get no withdraws. Oh but when you’ve made holy wholesome Christian Deposits in your life time, things work out good for you… And for the record before I close “every tub sits on its own bottom, Your mama can’t deposit for you, your daddy can’t deposit for you, your auntie, your uncle, or your cousins, your friend, your husband, or your wife or your boo they can not make a heavenly deposit for you.

And then you can rightly say “Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.

I can hear sis Joyce Lynn saying Church therefore there is a crown of righteousness laid up just for me. Because the bible says Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord Oh Lord!
