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

    Today many people mostly emphasize different manifestations, anointing, gifts, talents and personal development. All of these things are important. But if we neglect the development of God’s character in us and do not make it a priority, if we forget to draw near to God and fellowship with Him, then we are doing not the will of God, but instead carrying out our own will. And as a result we are not able to bring glory to God.

    Many of us do not thank God as we ought to, because we do not purposely keep in mind what God has done or is doing for us. We forget because we do not write it down. When I was a teenager, we often sang a song that said: «Count your blessings! Name every one of them, one after another, and you will be amazed at what the Lord has done!» I advise every one of you to record every miracle and every blessing that God does in our lives. You can use different methods: either modern technologies or simple writing.

    In order for us to learn react to problems and pain in a correct manner we need a revelation about the fact that while we live in this world there will be no end to pain and hardships. For as long as sin exists on the earth pain won’t cease in people’s lives. We suffer not only due to our own sins and wrong decisions, but also due to the sins and wrong decisions of other people.Joshua and Caleb, as well as the whole generation of Israel that finally entered the Promised Land were forced to wander through the wilderness for almost 40 years. Why? We know that Joshua and Caleb had a different spirit and they believed God and walked in obedience. Nevertheless, due to the wrong decisions made by other people they had to suffer and wander in the wilderness for all that time.

    We have to apply our gifts. We must find for ourselves a place in church, in God’s Kingdom. Your barrenness is nobody’s fault, but yours. Learn to apply your talents and do it well. Whatever you do, do it well to be called a good and faithful servant. The word „faithful” contains deep meaning. You can depend on a faithful servant; he is reliable; he never lets down.

  • Your gift will make room for you! II

    «A man’s gift makes room for him, and brings him before great men» (Proverbs, 18: 16).Studying the church history, we see that all of God’s generals didn’t start big. These people used what they had and did whatever they could. They began using the abilities they had. Eventually, their gifts found their place in the Body of Christ and grew into large ministries.For example, Dr. T.L. Osborn saw that people needed salvation, so he started meeting this need to the best of his ability: he started printing little tracts on his printing machine and went door to door leaving them in their post boxes. At the time he couldn’t even imagine that it will lead him to huge international evangelistic ministry that he has today.
