BETRAYAL

The betrayal of Brethren in the Body of Christ is influenced by the devil - deceiving the human mind with religiously misguided beliefs, makes greedy hearts who are not in the Spirit, yet are placed in strategic positions of authority, feel insecure once a faithful servant of God becomes fruitful in his Christ's Calling. This reveals jealousy, which brings up opposition towards the graceful manifestation of God's work.

Furthermore, this also instigates the persecution of the Body of Christ by oppressors, who "take counsel together against the LORD and against His Anointed," even assisted by familiar friends whom we trust and dine with (Psalm 2:2 & 41:9). Still, we need not worry nor be afraid of satanic schemes, because the trick being revealed, is to use separation from witnesses; rather, we should remain courageous to testify, for the LORD our Elohim is with us, wherever we go (Joshua 1:9). Let's stay in the light, assembling all the more with Christ's Family, who does His Father's will, and be a Friend like Jesus, who would lay down one's life, praying for all believers.

PRAYER: In Jesus' name, Dear LORD, the Defender of the Righteous, I exalt Your Name, for whenever the wicked come against me to eat up my flesh, because of Your Word, while we can come to you for strength to stand, they must always fall by the sword intended for Your Anointed (Psalm 27:2)

Amen!

From Luke 22:2-6

WATCH AND PRAY

We shouldn't relent in our prayers, even as we remain spiritually vigilant - awaiting the second coming of the Messiah, in these trying times where the forces of darkness are restlessly seeking for whom to devour, spreading their webs only to deceive the sons of men with their own pride and lusts, that they may be drawn far away from the LORD.

Praying with true dedication and commitment to our Christ Calling, keeps us in communion with the Father, as we remain Strengthened by the Holy Spirit, being triumphant vessels of God, worthy of His glorious presence. Furthermore, as chosen vessels, consecrated to advance God's Kingdom, we are destined to overcome! Still, we should remain spiritually vigilant, communing with our Heavenly Father, and we will never be caught unawares.

PRAYER: Thank You, LORD, for Your steadfast Love, which keeps us in communion with You, even as we remain watchful, expecting the glorious coming of Your Son, Jesus Christ, when we are eternally united, as saints in Your Kingdom,

Amen.

From Luke 21:36

BE WATCHFUL

Let's keep ourselves away from every distraction holding us from being actively involved in the advancement of God's Kingdom, so that we may ever remain prepared; not burdened about life on Earth, which is certainly short for every person, but for the glorious coming of Christ. This is necessary, for He is coming to save, at an unexpected hour - unknown to anyone (Matthew 24:42-44, Luke 12:40).

"Therefore, let us not sleep, as others do, but let us watch and be sober," spiritually, at all times; "for you yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord comes as a thief in the night (1 Thessalonians 5:2, 6). Since the end of all things draws nearer; we shouldn't relent in prayers, even as we remain vigilant in the Spirit, as faithful Stewards, awaiting the coming of the Lord (1 Peter 4:7).

PRAYER: In Jesus' name, thank you Gracious LORD and Ever-loving Father; for your Divine presence in our lives, keeps us readily prepared for the second coming of your Son - Jesus Christ, our Lord!

Amen.

From Luke 21:34-35

GOD'S WORD

The Great I Am That I Am, YAHWEH, our Creator, is eternal, and His Word never fails. Although the Heavens vanish away like smoke, the Earth grows old like a garment and its inhabitants quickly cease living on it, God's Word abides forever, Faithful and True (Isaiah 40:8, 51:6).

Moreover, the signs of the end of the age are already taking place; visible to the eyes and audible to our ears, some are going through a series of events, which only testifies that we are in the last times. So, let's remain faithfully committed to our Christ's Calling - seeking lost souls, and discipling them for the advancement of God's Kingdom, as vessels of His glorious Word, Who lives forever.

PRAYER: Thank you in Christ Jesus, Heavenly Father, for making me a vessel of Your glorious Word, which brings Salvation to all who believe. May I be quick to listen,

Amen.

From Luke 21:32-33

KINGDOM IS CLOSE

The signs of the end of this age are here, and the Kingdom of God is nearer than most think; for our Lord Jesus Christ is coming very soon to take up the saints, take full control of the Earth, remove the grip of satan over anything, and restore Peace. This is certain, for the end is near; we as faithful Christians, should remain prepared and desiring a place in God's Kingdom.

Furthermore, being prepared requires us to fulfill the purpose of our Calling in Christ Jesus: advancing His Kingdom, while we continuously bear more fruits that remain, for His glory.

PRAYER: Eternal King, thank you for bringing us closer to Your Father's presence, even as Your Kingdom draws nearer to longing hearts, through the Gospel of Salvation, which we proclaim until the end, for the redemption of souls, in Christ Jesus,

Amen.

From Luke 21:29-31

CHRIST'S COMING

The second coming of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, is at hand! Though it will only take place after the terrifying signs and wonders of the Heavens and the Earth take place, some of which are already in progress, causing fear and disturbance for guilty hearts; yet, the beginning of these things gladdens the hearts of all with the firstfruits of the Spirit, who are eagerly waiting for Him (Romans 8:19, 23).

Moreover, as these signs and wonders take place, we should remain focused on fulfilling the purpose of our Christ's Calling, fishing for men, while looking forward to seeing who will be revealed as God's children, set free when our bodies are changed and we truly become the Redeemed of the LORD, bearing fruits for His glory.

PRAYER: In Jesus' name, Dear LORD, my Blessed Redeemer, my soul eagerly waits for You; for in Your presence there is the fullness of Joy, and at Your right hand, there are pleasures forevermore!

(Ps 16:11)

Amen!

From Luke 21:25-28

DISOBEDIENT PUNISHED

As Faithfuls in Christ Jesus, we will ever remain safe in the Hands of God, dwelling by His Divine Grace where there is everlasting Joy, Peace, and righteousness. In times of tribulation, where God's wrath falls upon the disobedient, the Righteous in Christ Jesus, will never be hurt - for His love shields us from the condemnation every one must face, and shame was placed on Jesus.

Moreover, they who are yet to deliver their talents and gifts towards the advancement of God's Kingdom - delaying the fulfillment of their Christ's Calling and purpose for their lives, are only giving room for the wicked to trample upon them. This is why, as chosen vessels, called to declare the Salvation of the LORD to all, we mustn't relent in bearing fruits for God's Kingdom; being steadfastly committed, as Heirs of the Father.

PRAYER: Thank you Lord Jesus, for I'm safe in your hands, being protected from the wicked, and shielded by your grace and love, which keeps me cleansed from condemnation, as one redeemed by your precious blood,

Amen.

From Luke 21:23-24
