MESSAGE

No one will deny the fact that we are living in the very end of times with all happenings and events across the nations of the world. As we gently move toward the coming of Jesus, delivers must be prepared and watch out else they be caught on awards.

One very important instruction that Jesus gave us about this subject of His return is to take heed lest we are received. Today there are so many false prophets and false religious personalities calling the name of Jesus but are servants of satan. The Bible encourages that we must know our stand in the Lord and His word.

In this dispensation, it is more important than ever before for the Christian to have a personal walk with God. You must be able to hear from God for yourself and not always depend on any person. Every Christian living in this time must be Holy Spirit-dependent for every day of life.

In Daniel 11:32, the Bible says that there will be flatteries is possible to corrupt believers in this age but only those who constantly maintain a personal walk with God will be strong and do exploit. It must be noted that it is only in the place of personal devotion that you can get serious instructions from God.

Every Christian must learn from Jesus who though was the Son of God spent quality time in personal fellowship with God.

Now in the morning, having risen a long while before daylight, He went out and departed to a solitary place; and there He prayed.
Mark 1:35 NKJV

Do you wake up early to pray and hear what God has to say to you from His word? Do you constantly meditate on His word day and night? If not you must begin today else you will find yourself swept away by the deceit of the devil in this age.

REFLECTION

Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world.

1 John 4:1 NKJV

Know God for yourself and ask for fresh discernment of the Holy Spirit in your life in this age of deception.

PRAYER

Father, please sharpen my spiritual discernment so that I won’t fall victim of devil’s lies in this end time.
