WHAT IS THE TRIBULATION WITH REGARDS TO THE END TIMES (Part 1)



Rev.Michael Benson Ajayi
Mathew 24:21 -22"For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.  And except those days  should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened."          
          The word tribulation, is the Greek word 'thlipsis' and it means 'to be put under extreme pressure ,to suffer affliction and be in anguish, burdened, trouble. Bible scholars have been studying the scriptures in other to have an understanding of the events of the end times,  the crisis in the middle east and the imminent threat of a world war have further reinforced their belief that we are in the end times. The church of Christ shall be at the center of the crisis bothering on the end of the ages. This period shall be characterized by a rebellion against biblical principles and ethics as witnessed in the world's media. 
     There is a systematic attempt by the major media cooperation of the world to discredit the bible; this is to pave way for its gradual removal from society and the introduction of the doctrines of the antichrist. Another, is the introduction of digital currency, this is a powerful tool to overthrow any government by the manipulation of its currency. Through this goods and services of a targeted country could be unilaterally declared worthless resulting in social instability and unrest .    The anti-Christ shall control the world’s currency trade, he shall determine the exchange rates of global currency through a digital platform and cause  trade wars at will .Many shall abandon real jobs and be trapped in this virtual economies with no real assets and shall be at the mercy of the anti-Christ (Rev.13:17). 
    The era of the antichrist shall be marked by gross lawlessness .The scriptures describes the prevailing culture in the last days in 2Timothy 1-6 " This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.  For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous,  boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false  accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, Traitors, heady, high-minded, lovers of pleasures more than  lovers of God; Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.  For of this sort are they  which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts," The antichrist will exploit the sexuality of women in the propagation of his false teachings :women shall be portrayed as mere objects of sexual pleasure. Believers are expected to intensify the spread of the gospel as the end of the human age approaches .  
  Prayer : Heavenly father forgive me of my sins , I believe Jesus died for me and was raised for my salvation and I declare Him as lord and savior ;as I read this now I receive grace and freedom from the manipulations of the enemy in Jesus name .Amen

BREAK EVIL FAMILY PATTERNS

Image
 By Rev.Michael Benson Ajayi  Titus 1:12 -14 "One of themselves,   even a prophet of their own, said, The Cretians   are alway liars, evil beasts, slow bellies.  This  witness is true. Wherefore rebuke them sharply,  that they may be sound in the faith;  Not giving  heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of  men, that turn from the truth."       The church in Crete was in disarray and the apostle assigned Titus to go and put things in order . On investigation it was discovered the church suffered from a vicious cycle of evil family  patterns. They were not enjoying the fruits of the salvation experience . An example of evil family patterns is that of King David who defiled Uriah's wife ,murdered him and his son Absalom murdered his brother Amnon (2Sam13) dethroned him and defiled his concubines openly (2Samuel16). His son Amnon defiled his sister Tamar (2Sam.13) and so on yet David was the anointed of the Lord.     Many christians suffer evil family patterns ( repeated d

CONSEQUENCES OF LACK OF FAITH

By Rev. Michael Benson Ajayi " Be careful then, dear brothers and sisters. Make sure that your own hearts are not evil and unbelieving, turning you away from the living God." Hebrews 3:12 NLTBible  ' Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here, and look at my hands. Put your hand into the wound in my side. Don’t be faithless any longer. Believe!”John 20:27 NLTBible     Faith is the guarantee of the manifestation an unseen reality . It is the reason behind the hope we have in God and the fulfilment of his promises. It is the substance ( title deed) of things hoped for ,the evidence of things not seen (Hebrew 11:1) .The Bible warns against not having faith in God. Lack of faith is equal to calling God a liar and untrustworthy. This type of reasoning turns us into enemy's of God.    The gospel is so much under attack by the activities of faithless religionists . They plan to replace the holy scripture with humanistic dogma. The danger in this is the relative approach t

COMMON CAUSES OF DISUNITY.

Image
 By Rev Michael Benson Ajayi "Even some men from your own group will rise up and distort the truth in order to draw a following."Acts 20:30 NLT   "An angry person starts fights; a hot-tempered person commits all kinds of sin." Proverbs 29:22 NLTBible        Disunity is defined as : disagreement and conflict within a group. It is the greatest hindrance to the promotion of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Disunity creates an avenue for Satan to promote sin.       The causes of disunity are not farfetched ,they include : Unhealthy Crave for power or self- promotion. Whenever there is an unhealthy pursuit of influence in a family or group it results in resistance. Self-promotion gives birth to unfair practices and injustices. In Numbers 12: 1-15  Moses' sister Miriam and Aaron rebelled against him desiring to rule by force and in Numbers 16 :1-35 Korah led an insurrection against Moses desiring to be part of leadership. In both cases ,God was not pleased with the rebels
