MEDITATION
The Inevitable Signs
Matthew 24:11-13 Many will come saying that they are prophets, but they will be lying, and they will deceive many people. Because there will be more and more people who will disobey God's laws, many people will no longer love their fellow believers.
But all those who keep on believing in me to the end of their lives will be saved." T4T
Point to ponder on: Falsehood on the altar, increase in wrong doing, lack of love for fellow believers are inevitable signs to look for as the end approaches.
All these prophecies of Jesus have become our reality today. Those who are not called to be prophets tagged themselves one and at a time when almost every one who enters a church is looking for the word of prophecy, it is easy for the devil to manipulate people through the work of the flesh. If people could serve God through the flesh they will serve sin and devil well through the flesh. Who ever is given the office of a prophet should speak as God inspires not as the church demands. And whoever is given to teach should teach as inspired. A prophet in the new testament speaks out the mind of God via the teaching of His word and the discerning ones would understand the LORD is speaking to their needs. Don't go looking for prophetic words, go looking for encounter with Jesus and His word and whatever He gives will settle your needs.
Wrongdoing is on the increase because even believers now realise that they have brains and if what the scripture is saying doesn't make sense to them as educated souls they choose their own ways, debate God's word and disobey His word.
Some people are advocate of self love now. People no longer care about their fellow believers except those they benefit from. And those who have been frustrated have bought the concept of self love that starts with them and ends with them. It does not flow to others because it is not from Christ to self and from self to others. Whatever that is of the flesh is of the flesh. Such human fickle love leads to selfishness. Where divine love is nourished as being spread by the Holy Spirit (Rom.5:5) the result is selflessness.
Beloved, let us remain in our calling, obey the word and allow the Holy Spirit to love through us. You will know the Holy Spirit is loving through you when you love the unlovable, undeserving and difficult people. Let's examine ourselves whether we are still in the faith or falling short on these signs and ask the LORD to help us. Remember, those who endure the tough times are those who keeps believing in Jesus and His word and such will be saved. The reason for endurance is simply because it will be difficult for a natural man and anyone living in the flesh to withstand the evil we see around today. Some are giving up on church already. They say things like, it's for money making, there are fake everywhere. Fake exists because there is original, it takes the Holy Spirit, knowledge of the word and not your sense to know the original. Please don't accept the gospel of the devil. Your sure way is to engage the ministry of the Holy Spirit and the word to make the journey in this latter part of the last day easy. His grace is sufficient for you. You will not fail in Jesus name.
Good morning. Enjoy His grace.
I celebrate you.
David, Johnson
