MFM topic for Thur 18 August 2022: signs of the times (1)

WELCOME to MFM Devotional, 18/08/22

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!

FIRE SCRIPTURE : Mark 12:4-13

18/08/22 MESSAGE:
It is an undeniable fact that the signs of times, as predicted by our Lord Jesus Christ, are already upon this generation. Genuine believers are aware of the fact that Jesus was never given to diplomacy. He was always very frank in declaring His stand over any matter.

Towards the end of His glorious earthly ministry, He boldly declared to His disciples, in responding to some of the questions they asked, that surely there is an end to this world of sin. However, this imminent end to all things shall be marked by many frightening signs after which the Saviour shall appear to take away His children who are ready for His second coming. Are you ready?

Meanwhile, in the New Testament, especially in the gospels, Jesus Christ gave an elaborate description of the signs of the end times which are part of God’s agenda to wind up this world.

In Matthew chapter twenty-four, some of the signs of the times given can be summarized as follows: high-profile and systematic deception of the brethren by undesirable elements.

In fact, this is the first sign Jesus warned His disciples about because He knows that the heart of man could be easily deceived and led into believing falsehoods. Unfortunately, many Christians have been deceived and more are still being deceived.

Many people attend a church where the truth of God’s word is being taught consistently, yet they allowed themselves to be deceived, thereby losing their relationship with the Lord. I hope you are not in that category. You have to be careful; the Bible says in 2 Tmothy 3:13, “But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived.”

The truth is that some so-called preachers are teaching their members that Jesus will not come again despite the fact that the signs of the times and of His sure coming are massively increasing every day. Please beware of such people! The best way not to fall victim is to make sure you are very close to God, walk in His way and run away from sin on a daily basis.

PRAYER POINTS:

MORNING
1. Lord, I thank You for the power of redemption in your blood.

2. Agenda of darkness to make me fall, scatter by fire, in the name of Jesus.

3. Lord Jesus, as I go out today, let Your glory envelope my life.

EVENING
4. Enemies of my soul, die by fire, in the name of Jesus.

5. Arrows from the pit of hell fired against my life, backfire, in the name of Jesus.

6. I barricade my spirit, soul and body with the fire of God, in the name of Jesus.

7. Lord Jesus, be enthroned upon my life forever, in the name of Jesus.
