Focus: Romans 13:12 - KJV
12. The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light.
1 Thessalonians 5:1-8
The night is a metaphoric expression of the time of the evil one, for wickedness thrives in darkness; while the day or light is for the expression of the time of the Lord. From the fall of man up until the coming of Christ, the earth has been in darkness with lies bringing about evil actions prevailing all through. The coming of Christ introduced the light such that people are invited to the truth about the being and the word of God so that now, man can relate directly with God without inhibition. However, the day is not fully going to come until the Gospel is preached all over the world. Truth is, right now, there are not many nations that do not have information about salvation. When the day is fully formed, the Lord comes to take home those who are believers, known by their fruits. That day is nearer now than the time when we first believed.
What the Lord requires of us today is first to be clear in our minds that the prince of darkness had long been defeated for our sakes and the day of our ultimate salvation is near; next, for the day to fully come, we are to intensify the work of evangelism telling all that we come across about the need to believe and live a life full of the fruit of the Spirit, and, most importantly, we are to watch, pray and ensure that we do not allow ourselves to be overcome by evil to partake in it. Let everyone be at alert for when the day fully breaks, it will be like a thief in the night, like the days of Noah and like it happened in Sodom and Gomorrah – there will be no more warning than this that we are getting. Many will regret not heeding the call of the Savior at this time. What we see in the world today is the struggle of the enemy who knows that his time is up. Please do not be deceived.
SOLUTION: Be sober be vigilant, the enemy is urgent about railroading many to hell with himself at this time. The darkness is thickest at dawn when the day is about to break. Let not the affairs of the world at this time deceive you. Look up to Jesus and be focused on His return. Don’t let Him meet you in iniquity. Be firm in your faith.
Please pray:
· Give thanks to God for the grace of salvation that is available to you
· Ask God to hold you up to the end no matter what the enemy may be unleashing on the earth at this time
· Pray fervently that whatever it will take for you to be raptured as part of the Church, God should please do without leaving any stone unturned
· Tell God to separate between you and all workers of iniquity at this serious moment, and that the Lord should ensure that you are not battered in the enemy’s current onslaught over the earth
· Ask God for your handout for today – something that the world would see in or on you and will make them submit to your God.
