Sound your trumpet!

“But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away!”
(2Tim 3:1-5)

The scriptures above give us a sad picture of humanity on earth. Basically, the people become worst; their hearts more corrupted and wicked as time passes by.
Since Pentecost, we are living in ‘the last days’. The second coming of Christ is imminent. We can see that the influence of evil, the spiritual darkness and ignorance increases day by day. It is more and more difficult to keep a strong and pure testimony as a child of God. The weapons of the devil are becoming more subtle. You need to be filled and led by the Holy Spirit to triumph in all temptations. That is why your primary desire is to know the Person of God the Holy Spirit! He is the key to success in all spiritual warfare. It is not as important to know who the devil is, as to know the One who defeated the devil. You need to fight all battles from a position of victory. That is the revelation of Calvary. Go to the Cross! Study it, and you shall be saved!

The greatest danger against the people of God comes from within, from men who claim to be saved but they are agents of the devil. You need the discernment of the Holy Spirit to identify such people. There is nothing in the natural to differentiate them from you and me. They quote the scriptures; they pray in tongues, they sing in the choir. They do much work in the church…
They claim to be born again and Spirit filled, but this is the danger: they are not! These are religious unbelievers!
The church is a mixed multitude. We do not drive people away just because they are unbelievers. We pray that more people should come to church, to listen to the Word of God, so that they may repent and be saved. But we are not ignorant of the possibility that active agents of the powers of darkness are on a mission to infiltrate the church and plant evil seeds of false doctrines and other deceptive ideas.
It is the prophetic responsibility of the leaders to sound the alarm, to call people to stand and pray. The pastors should call the attention of their congregations about attacks against the Body of Christ. The husband is to call his wife and children to warn and expose the attack of the devil upon their home. The wife is his helper in this holy work. In the absence of the husband, it is the wife’s responsibility to call the children to prayer and Bible studies. They should expose ‘the fruitless deeds of darkness’ for the Bible condemns ignorance, carelessness and false security, especially in time of war (Eph 5:11)

Who are these dangerous people? These are religious men and women who claim to be saved but are totally deceived. This is the truth: ignorantly or not, they work for the devil. They read the Bible and quote scriptures. They know the weakness of the children of God because of past familiarity with them. They direct their ‘ministries’ especially towards the immature, weak willed believers who have not paid the price for a spiritual established heart. They betray the interests of the Kingdom of God. It is said that the damage a traitor does from within is a thousand times greater than that of an army coming from outside.

Child of God, FEAR NOT!

It is time to sound your trumpet for Jesus Christ!

JESUS CHRIST IS LORD!
