Signs Of The Times

Day 249

Reading: Matthew 21:1 - Matthew Matthew 24:51

Hurricanes, storms, tsunamis, floods, droughts, rising sea water levels, heatwaves, forest fires, wars and rumours of wars are all examples of headlines we are seeing. Recently in the news, we saw Asia flooded, USA fighting a hurricane while Africa was also deluged with rainfall that exceeded what had been seen in years. Today no one likes this topic, the end of the world. We are living in the day and age that we need to be aware of the happenings of the last days. 

Jesus whilst speaking gave indicators of the last days. Apart from climate change, disasters that we are experiencing, Jesus also mentioned that deception would be high. We are living in a world that is so deceived. Listening to the manner in which many believers relate with others of the faith and even those of the world will show you how much deception is in the world. We pick and choose what to obey of God and think we are walking in truth however God has shown me that this is the deception of the day and age. 

Many believers today don't like trouble. I have news for you my brother and sister. Buckle up for trouble is guaranteed by Jesus Himself. Jesus spoke and said that in the last days believers shall be hated. The days are coming where many will lose their lives for the faith. Lawlessness will abound and cause many to be distracted and lose their faith. In the midst of this, the gospel will be preached throughout the earth. Jesus spoke of the great tribulation which would hit the world. As I read this I began to ask myself what does one need to do to be found ready.
  • Seek first the Kingdom of God. When God is first then the traps of the enemy in the last days will not cause you to deviate from being aligned with God.
  • Be prepared. While as a boy scout I learnt that this motto "Be Prepared". You can't drive a car without fuel yet many believers are walking in this day and age without the fuel for this day and age. You can't wear beachwear in the midst of a snowstorm which sad to say is how many are dressed.
  • Guard against deception. Be still and know the Lord Psalms 46:10. Many today in desperation for the miraculous are susceptible to deception. Examine and see the fruit. Don't be moved by the signs and wonders but seek the fruit of God.
Jesus is coming, whether you believe it or not. He is coming again and the whole world will see Him coming again. Are you ready to receive Him? Will you be counted as the elect whom the angels will gather for Jesus or will you be thrown in eternal damnation because you missed it. Get ready Jesus is coming.

Memory Verse: Matthew 22:29

Decree:

Matthew 23:11-12
But he who is greatest among you shall be your servant. And whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted. (italics mine)

Now is....

Everyday I seek to share something that I have learnt through the daily reading. I make a choice to discipline myself not to write too much as we inundated with a lot of reading material. Feel free to add comments because that way we share and thus encourage one another to grow into the fullness of Christ. Today I am amazed at the fact that God will always remember His covenant and fulfill the promise. I want to list five words in the order they appear in one scripture that showed God is at work in our lives. Remembered : My God will never forget me. To be delayed is not to be denied as God will surely remember. God spoke and said to Sarah that He would return at the appointed time; at the right season!!! I do believe that we are in a season where we will see God begin to act on the promises that seem forgotten. Or better put in another way there is a resurrection of seemingly forgotten prophecies that is about to take place. Dry bones are beginning to take shape. Listened : No longer ...

Blessing or ....

To live well is one thing we all desire. I have never met anyone who did not want to live well. By living well for some people it means helping others. For others it means having a successful business. Yet for others it means travelling the world. I have discovered that it is not money that empowers but the blessing of God that empowers. Money is simply one of the many ways that the effects of the blessing may show up. Many times today in society we confuse money with being blessed yet people like Mother Teresa did not flaunt money but her life still is blessing many people round the world. The book of Deuteronomy has challenged me to desire to be blessed. Anyone who has walked with the blessing of God in their live has seen doors open that are a struggle for others. Yesterday I wrote about obedience. What obedience opens our lives to is the operation of the blessing. By choosing to obey the Word we are choosing to open our lives to be blessed. The purpose of being blessed is not self ...

Absalom's Treachery

Day 91 Reading: 2 Sam. 14:1 - 2 Sam. 15:37 One of life's most painful lessons is the treachery of human beings. When family or friends hurt you and leave you grieving the pain is not the same as when someone out on the street does something wrong. The pain goes deeper and it's easy to become bitter. Absalom had fled from Israel knowing that he was a wanted man for the murder and revenge on Ammon his step-brother. Joab arranged for a wise woman to go see David and get him to forgive Absalom. The wise woman made David realise that he was not setting a godly example by exiling Absalom. The wise woman made David understand that God will not banish anyone but he will seek the person out. God will do everything in His power to restore the banished person. The wise woman was asking David not to forget the grace of God that enables one to enjoy forgiveness. David gets Absalom brought back to Jerusalem however for 2 years he didn't see him. Now, this was worse than ...
