SPIRITUAL LIVING IN A SECULAR WORLD!


SPIRITUAL LIVING IN A SECULAR WORLD!
            Right from the time Christ Jesus died and resurrected, the battle and struggle of life was transferred from a physical-spiritual to a full scale spiritual warfare (Eph. 6:12). Our fore-father fought with bow, arrow, sword, dagger, but the battle of the present time is a battle of spiritual violence (Matt 11:12)
            It is pertinent that the enemy is fully aware of these, while children of God the kingdom are busy with ceremonial worship and celebration service. All we hear today in our church is money, meetings anniversary etc. we are busy dancing at the battle field with our weapon of war already in the hand of the enemy (2sam 1:25; 27). That`s why we can no more dictate to our environment again. It is the environment and worldly passion dictating the trend of event. They dictate the clothe we wear, the kind of education they want for us, work ethics etc
            And the church that supposed to be a life boat for the Nation are now the one being ridicule, and controlled by the gentiles. We have forgotten that we have a God that can control king’s heart like streams of water (Prov. 21:1)
            Gentiles have taken control of key position with their religious witchcraft pervading all sector of government. In times like this what can we do? * Let everyone go back to God in repentance, take your relationship with God with all seriousness. Let the wicked forsake his way and the unrighteous his thoughts and let him return unto the Lord, and He will have mercy upon him, and to our God, for He will abundantly pardon (Isa. 55:7) The scriptures says put on the full armor of God so that we can stand our ground in the days of evil (Eph6:13).
            Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil`s schemes. For our struggle (fight) is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the power of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.
Therefore put on the FULL armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground and after you have done everything to stand. (Ephe.6:10-13)
My brother and sister the evil days has come in our very eyes, such that without the full amour of God its practically difficult to Live a victorious Christian living.
            With the way the church is serving God, it is very pertinent to say only the very few will eventually make it to that street of gold {Heaven}- for as the lighting flashes from the east and shines and is seen as far as the west, so will the coming of the son of man be…. And they will see the son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory….
            Now learn a lesson from the fig tree, when its branches bud and its leaves begins to sprout, so you know that the summer is near… So also when you see these signs, all taken together, coming to pass, you may know for a surety that He is near, at the very doors… As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the son of Man… Two women will be grinding flour at the mill; one will be taken, the other will be left behind. Watch therefore, give strict attention, be caution and active, for you do not know in what kind of a day your Lord is coming, whether near or remote.
            Do you want to be among the very few elect, repent all known and unknown sin, and go back to God in full repentance, forsake all your sins and start living a consistent Christian Living without looking at anybody. We do this by keeping our eye on Jesus, the champion who initiate and perfect our faith (Heb 12:2)
I believe we shall meet in heaven if you did!
Shalom.
