Love is a weapon of victory of the last time!

ByPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 3 minutes
Good day, dear friends!We continue talking about spiritual weapons given to us by God at these last days. These days the Bible foresees many hardships in different spheres of our life – political, economical, commercial and spiritual. Jesus warned about different calamities during the last days of the world.
«For there will arise false christs and false prophets, and will show signs and wonders, that they may lead astray, if possible, even the chosen ones.» (Mark 24:22).
«Unless those days had been shortened, no flesh would have been saved. But for the sake of the chosen ones, those days will be shortened.» (Mark 13:20).
Many prophets of the Old Testament also warned about the last days. Isaiah wrote: «For behold, darkness shall cover the earth, and thick darkness the peoples; but the LORD will arise upon you, and his glory will be seen upon you.» (Isaiah 60:2).
According to the prophet Isaiah – when the darkness covers the Earth and gross darkness the people – in the hearts of many people there will be confusion and lack of understanding, fear and unrest. Meanwhile, this is the time when us, believers will be able to overcome all those difficulties, prosper and go forward together with God. Regardless of what is going in the world we shall live in peace and rest. We have to learn how to operate the spiritual weapons received from God, namely, faith, hope and love. Earlier in our column we discussed the role of faith in the victory in the battle of the last days. Today we are going to touch the role of love. “At the last days” – said Jesus – “the world will be full of hatred, sin, betrayal, resentment and bitterness.” Those who are not able to walk in love will experience serious problems at the last days – faced the power of sin they will not be able to fight it, get emotional injuries shortening their lives. Such people will end up with heart attack and nervous breakdown caused by the stream of evil, hatred, betrayal, rebellion and ingratitude over-flooding the world at the last days. Jesus says in the gospel of Matthew:
«Then many will stumble, and will deliver up one another, and will hate one another. Many false prophets will arise, and will lead many astray. Because iniquity will be multiplied, the love of many will grow cold. But he who endures to the end, the same will be saved..» (Matthew 24:10-13).
In addition to this description of the last days, Jesus also left us many commandments about love. If we walk in love, obey its commandments and develop walking in love, then regardless of the hardships of the last days we will celebrate victory in Christ, dwell in peace and praise the Lord. Let the Lord help each of us to walk in love, since love is a weapon of victory of the last time.We are going to meet again tomorrow.Be blessed! Rufus Adjiboye, pastor

    It says in the Bible that God rules and reigns over everything — in heaven and in earth. When we read Genesis, we see that God created men and also we read about God’s intentions for men. God created us to rule and reign on earth as God’s ambassadors. So God’s original plan was for people to be a ruler and care-taker for God. We can read about that in Genesis (1:26-28).

  • Definitely write down the vision you receive from God!

    First of all, you need a revelation from God. Learning to recognise the voice of your Heavenly Father and getting to know Him as your best friend is vitally important. God is willing to give you wisdom, understanding and revelation in every sphere of your life. Though, when a revelation and wisdom are received from God, you have to write them down in whole. Then it becomes a spring of life, that gives breathe to you and brings hope that releases faith and trust on God in you.To write something down means to record the vision a paper. We have to put it down clearly, the way it makes sense to us later. Thus, we can bring our vision into reality, so that we can expect it and put our hopes upon. This is one of the methods how to cling with the vision together and dedicate yourself to fulfil it. Prophet Habakkuk reminds us about the importance of writing down the vision you have received from God.
