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

    Yesterday we began talking about the importance of knowing God’s will for our lives. We established that God has a particular plan with precise assignments for every person. But God reveals His plan gradually.God reveals His plan to us as we reach certain levels of maturity and grow in our ability to accept what He has prepared for us. As God shows us the details of His plan, we can learn to walk in obedience in those areas where God has already revealed us His will. And during this time we can simply trust Him to carry out His sovereign plan for our life.

    We have been talking about prayer as the source of revelation and guidance in our lives. Yesterday, we saw that through prayer and fellowship with God, Jesus knew what and how He must do or speak. Jesus said,“Jesus gave them this answer: “I tell you the truth, the Son can do nothing by Himself; He can do only what He sees His Father doing, because whatever the Father does the Son also does.” (John 5:19)After Jesus had taught in the temple, He spent nights on the Mount of Olives. There is no doubt, that He met the Father there and they had fellowship, but the next morning He brought a fresh Word for the people who came thirsty to hear this Word.

    In order for me to change I need to follow Jesus. It means I need to follow and submit to His Word and His instructions. It means to spend time with Him to learn His heart and to participate in His mission. To follow Christ also means to imitate Him in all things. It means to react like He reacts, to speak like He speaks, to love what He loves and to hate what He hates.

    When we read the Bible we receive doctrine, which means we start to see where we should go. Through the reading of the Bible we are shown the direction for our thought life, our words and all other areas of our lives.Besides, the Bible is profitable for reproof. Quite often we start walking the way the Bible has shown us, but then we somehow get distracted, lose the right direction and get sidetracked. It is through reproof that we are shown that we have taken the wrong path

  • God wants you to become His co-worker

    When you love somebody and you know he has a problem but you have a solution for him what will be your action then? Would you sit and do nothing about it? You surely won´t. It´s one of the biggest issues people have that they only focus on their own problems, forgetting about God´s needs. God wants His children to be a part of the solution for His needs.
