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

    If a person doesn’t have any desire to serve, it is very difficult to motivate him. This desire has to be strong enough to move you to action; otherwise you won’t do anything. It is easy to teach and lead a person that has a desire and an interest in something. And it is very difficult to convince and motivate the one who is indifferent. Where does the desire to serve come from? This desire comes from the understanding of God’s will and the purpose of our salvation.

    The phrase „Jesus is Lord!” is quite often used by the children of God. But being the children of God, we cannot treat this concept in a superficial or religious manner. The lordship of Jesus has a deep spiritual meaning. We should not casually proclaim or declare His lordship without the correct understanding of what it really implies. God wants us today to discover for ourselves what the true essence of the lordship of Jesus is and to act accordingly.

    If you arm yourself with the knowledge that problems and trials are a test to all of us, and once it´s passed we receive a certain reward from God, then a holy desire to win given by God will be awaken within you. None of you is born willing to be a loser in this life. We all desire to win, but no win where is no battle. For the problems and trials are those battles we either get defeated or celebrate the victory at. Going through hardships and pain in our life, we better understand the price, Jesus paid for our salvation. «…you are partakers of Christ’s sufferings…».

    I want to begin this word with a story: A man had a wonderful garden that brought him a rich, abundant harvest. When his neighbor saw that, he decided that the next spring he would make a garden for himself too. But after the neighbor had sawn seeds in his garden, he did not do anything there afterward. He did not water his garden, did not cultivate, neither loosened the soil. When the autumn came, his garden was neglected and full with weeds. And, of course, it did not bring forth any fruit.
