DO NOT BE A VICTIM OF THE END TIME APOSTACY
Rev.Michael Benson Ajayi
As we approach the end of the human age and the second coming of Christ, the world shall experience an increase in demonic activities prominent among which shall be the greatest fall amongst Christians because of the enemy's intrusion into the church. The fall is known as the apostasy which means disloyalty. Jesus predicted that disloyalty shall be a common trend in the last days.
Our worship determines our commitment to one another therefore, disloyalty to Christ is the foundation of one's disloyalty to one's spouse, family or community . Marriages have been hard hit by this with an ever increasing number in divorce cases among believers. One's devotion to Christ's ideal increases our devotion to our spouse. Love is an irrevocable commandment by the lord (John 13:34 ) . In the last days the message of love and mercy shall be replaced with that of vengeance by false preachers, this is the reason for the crisis in many families . The scriptures says we have been called to the ministry of reconciliation to reconcile men back to God and to one another (2Cor.5:18-19). The enemy shall introduce false preachers who shall deemphasize the teaching of reconciliation, leading to the hardening of the hearts of many .love deemphasizes ownership but promotes commonwealth with respect to resources (Acts2:44-45) as demonstrated by the early church. They lived in harmony with each other and communed together despite their differences.
Quality time is needed in the teaching of the gospel; Jesus taught for long hours however false teachers discourage this. In the old testament, the Sabbath was set aside for research of scriptures ,despite our freedom by the law of grace from the restrictions of the Sabbath , the objective remains the same ,we are enjoined to study to show ourselves approved unto God(2Tim2:15) . The time spent on scriptures impacts on how much time we spend with our family without offending each other .It is the irritation spouses have for each other that leads to many seeking for love outside the marriage, spending quality time on scriptures is the cure for marital irritations (psalm 119:165). The word of God increases our capacity to tolerate each other.
The falling away of many from church in the last days must take place in other to fulfill prophecy (2Thess 2:1-3) and shall be characterized by a disinterest in sound doctrines. False teachers teach their followers to concentrate more on religious duties and endless deliverances thereby depriving parishioners the opportunity of gaining sound knowledge of God's word .It is the ignorance of life's boundaries as defined by scriptures that leads to the fall of many(Hosea4:6,Matt.22:29) The word of God shows us the limits and boundaries that must be adhered to for a peaceful and joyous life. False teaching says Christ has removed all boundaries: if that be the case we shouldn't get offended by the betrayal of our trusts by those we hold in high esteem and also there shouldn't be any need for marriage since it comes with so much restrictions. The theology that teaches on a life of liberty without limits is an endorsement of corruption and gives Satan the advantage (2Pet2:9) resulting in emotional traumas, loneliness ,bitterness and a disinterest in Church activities. The enemy capitalizes on our ignorance of the scriptures to lead us astray (2Thes.2:23,5,Gal.1:6-7)
False teachers are undoubtedly prominent and are acquainted with the word of God but are not saved (Jn3:1-10,Jer.2:8) .They deliberately twist the scriptures to suite their personal gains (1Tim.1,5,6) and promote human traditional religion and doctrines over the Word of God (Isa.29:13b,Mk7:6) this is behind the crisis of denominationalism and racism in our communities (1cor.1:10-13,Rom 14:1-6) . The rigid setting of denominations gives no room for logical discourse and questions on doctrinal issues .It is in the questioning of teachings that truth is revealed and until a person personally discovers truth he or she is prone to apostatizing . Daily asking the lord to create an unquenchable hunger for His Word keeps one from being carried away by the ill wind of apostasy May you be found worthy for the masters use .
Prayer : Heavenly Father forgive me of my sins. I believe Jesus Christ died and was raised again for my salvation. I receive Him as lord and saviour and receive the Holy Spirit and grace for stability in Jesus name.
