HE HAS THE LAST SAY
Memorise: For the mountains
shall depart, and the hills be removed; but my kindness shall not depart from
thee, neither shall the covenant of my peace be removed, saith the LORD that
hath mercy on thee. Isaiah 54:10
Read: Joel 3:16-17, Bible in
one year: 1st Chronicles 10-12, Proverbs 27:15-28:1
The situation in the world is
steadily becoming alarming. Big and strong economies are becoming shaky while
some are crumbling already; even through trade is expanding with mind blowing
technological breakthroughs and rapid succession of invention of devices across
every facet of human endeavour. Violence in various forms of inhuman treatment
of man by fellow man is also on the increase. This includes terror activities,
civil disturbances, kidnappings, rapes, murderous acts, drugs, human
trafficking and sale of human beings as mere commodity etc. All these and
several more are pointers to any child of God that the end of all things is
fast approaching and that these are not the days to live carelessly.
These happenings are at a
stage that any observant mind will sense palpable fear in the world, just like
the Bible said it would be (Luke 21:26). For you a child of God however, you
need not panic in your heart because God has given you an idea of the events
that will occur in these last days. He also has given you His promises of hope
and has put His Holy Spirit in you. One of such promises is in Joel 3:16
“The LORD also shall roar out of Zion,
and utter his voice from Jerusalem; and the
heavens and the earth shall shake: but the LORD will be the hope of his people,
and the strength of the children of Israel.”
It is required of you as a
child of God in the end-time, to get close to the word of God in order to see
global events in light of what is written in it. This will give you hope and
encourage your mind on how close the eventual return of our Lord is. His return
means release from earthly pains and limitations for you, but the beginning of
sorrows for those who don’t have a relationship with Him.
Nevertheless, you need to
know that the children of God that will do valiantly in these last days, are
not those who only depend on feeding on the word of God that they hear via
public ministrations, but those who go beyond this is by spending time with God
in His word through private study like the Berean brethren (Act 17:10-11). Great strength for
the race comes from this. In these evil days, you will not be a victim but a
victor in Jesus’ Name.
Prayer Point
Pray that your focus will
remain on making Heaven and that you will remain fervent in spirit and
steadfast in the love of God.
