MFM topic for Fri 19 August 2022: signs of the times (2)

WELCOME to MFM Devotional, 19/08/22

PRAISE & WORSHIP;

O WORSHIP THE KING

O worship the King all-glorious above,
O gratefully sing his power and his love:
our shield and defender, the Ancient of Days,
pavilioned in splendor and girded with praise.

2 O tell of his might and sing of his grace,
whose robe is the light, whose canopy space.
His chariots of wrath the deep thunderclouds form,
and dark is his path on the wings of the storm.

3 Your bountiful care, what tongue can recite?
It breathes in the air, it shines in the light;
it streams from the hills, it descends to the plain,
and sweetly distills in the dew and the rain.

4 Frail children of dust, and feeble as frail,
in you do we trust, nor find you to fail.
Your mercies, how tender, how firm to the end,
our Maker, Defender, Redeemer, and Friend!

5 O measureless Might, unchangeable Love,
whom angels delight to worship above!
Your ransomed creation, with glory ablaze,
in true adoration shall sing to your praise!

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Song 5, Song 6, Song 7, Song 8, 1 Corinthians 12:27-31, 1 Corinthians 13:1-13, Psalm 100:1-5

FIRE SCRIPTURE: Matthew 24:3-12 (KJV)

3 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?

4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.

5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.

6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.

7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.

8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.

9 Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name’s sake.

10 And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.

11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.

12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.

MEMORY VERSE: “Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;” – 1 Timothy 4:1

MOTIVATIONAL QUOTES:
The only route of escape from eternal perdition is to be prepared every day.

PRAISE AND WORSHIP:
Pray about everything, worry about nothing!

PROPHETIC WORD FOR TODAY:
I PROPHESY UPON YOU THAT THE DARK SIGNS OF THE TIMES SHALL NOT FIND EXPRESSION IN YOUR LIFE, IN THE NAME OF JESUS.

19/08/22 MESSAGE:

Yesterday, we started looking at the “The signs of the Times”, and so far it is clear that majority of the signs as explained by Jesus Christ are already with us. But the amazing thing is that many Christians are still living as though nothing is at stake. I hope you are not one of those who disregard divine warnings.

In our Bible reading for today’s devotional we have seen more of the signs of the times: “For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. (Matthew 24:5). Indeed the world has witnessed the emergence of many false christs. Some people have boldly declared themselves to be Jesus. Many of us can still remember such strange elements in this country.

These fake men have profound charismatic personality and deceptive nature by which they are able to enslave and imprison their followers mentally and spiritually. Unfortunately, some believers, because of one challenge or the other, have fallen victim to the whims and caprices of these counterfeit Christ.

Many men who are also seeking for fame, wealth and positions have decided to mortgage their eternity by lining up behind these impostors. Beloved, you need to have a deep conviction about the great wonders the Lord can do for His children. Therefore, guard yourself against the trickery and antics of such men.

Other signs of the times are war and rumour. The news media are filled with devastating reportage on wars in many nations of the world today. Coming home to Africa, we are aware of raging wars in some countries, both on medium and large scale. The devil is instigating many of these senseless wars in order to keep on polluting our land. The Bible says, so ye shall not pollute the land wherein ye are: for blood it defileth the land…

(Numbers 35:33). Also, many unprepared souls have been sent to eternal perdition. All these signs are supposed to be our constant reminder to always be prepared for the coming of our Master — Jesus Christ. Are you born again? Are you preparing for eternity?
