1. HAVE A WORD WITH GOD TODAY, He is patient to hear you and answer your queries, “Thus saith the LORD … CALL UNTO ME, and I WILL ANSWER THEE, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not” [Jeremiah 33:2-3] Don’t bother where to find God, He will hear you on your sick bed, prison cell, bedroom, on the street, etc. I know you have many things to ask Him, not the least, the unbearably toxic conditions and burdens of living in a digital age. Before you asked, God already answered, His answer is preserved in His WORD for those who shall come to Him through Jesus Christ, “COME unto me, ALL YE THAT LABOUR and are heavy laden, and I WILL GIVE YOU REST” [Matthew 11:28] God understand the frustration of those who speak harshly of the ALMIGHTY after HAVING A WORD WITH GOD without getting His REST. SIN is the culprit, the barrier separating man from God, “Behold, the LORD’S hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear: But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and YOUR SINS HAVE HID HIS FACE FROM YOU, that he will not hear” [Isaiah 59:1-2]

2. SIN is probably not what you think, it is primarily who you are and not necessarily what you do or do not do. We inherited SIN from Adam and Eve and as it is natural for fish to swim in water so is man wallowing in iniquity, “Now then it is no more I that do it, but SIN THAT DWELLETH IN ME, … to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not” [Romans 7:17-18] God knows everything we ever and some of us did some terrible things; He knows it is SIN working in us and that the man He formed was VERY GOOD [Genesis 1:31] God wants you and indeed all men to be free of the offence of SIN and made a way of escape for us in Jesus Christ, “Wherefore, as BY ONE MAN SIN ENTERED into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned: … For if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the GRACE OF GOD, and the GIFT OF GRACE, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many” [Romans 5:12 &15] GRACE is God’s GIFT to all men to have their SIN erased with His BLOOD shed on the Cross; Apostle Paul persecuted Christians, thief on the Cross, countless drug addicts, terrorists, murderers and yours truly among many others, REPENTED, received Christ and our lives turned around. God is calling you, “COME now, and LET US REASON TOGETHER, saith the LORD: though your SINS BE AS SCARLET, they shall be as WHITE AS SNOW; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.” [Isaiah 1:18]

3. I can imagine the turmoil in your mind, God is calling you to REPENT but the Church next to your house is a nest of vipers. Your friend joined few years back with his family and lost his marriage, the Pastor took over his conjugal role. Friend, God was not blindsided, “Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The LORD KNOWETH THEM THAT ARE HIS. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity. But in a great house there are not only vessels of GOLD and of SILVER, but also of WOOD and of EARTH; and some to HONOR, and some to DISHONOR” [2 Timothy 2:19-20] It is evident there are vessels of DISHONOR in the House, you must not be distracted, let your mind be settled on one thing, your conversation is with God not with men. If you allow yourself to think you are better off on your own, God will have you know you are as guilty as they, “… Ye are they which JUSTIFY YOURSELVES before men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly ESTEEMED AMONG MEN IS ABOMINATION IN THE SIGHT OF GOD” [Luke 16:15] Jesus Christ is God’s measure of RIGHTEOUSNESS, you must not allow what any man does or does not do affect your relationship with God but challenge you to work out your SALVATION in CONFORMITY with Christ, “For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be CONFORMED TO THE IMAGE OF HIS SON, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren” [Romans 8:29]

4. HAVE A WORD WITH GOD TODAY and secure your ETERNAL RELEVANCE. Hear Him, “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, THOUGHTS OF PEACE, and NOT OF EVIL, to give you an EXPECTED END” [Jeremiah 29:11] God formed you in His IMAGE to be His companion through ETERNITY, Genesis 1:26-28. Foreknowing sin would come, God made provision for our SALVATION; He became like us in Jesus Christ that in Him we should be restored to His LIKENESS. This is the GOSPEL, “Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after CHRIST. FOR IN HIM DWELLETH ALL THE FULNESS OF THE GODHEAD bodily” [Colossians 2:8-9] Take your conversation with God to the next level, accept Jesus Christ as your SAVIOUR today. Your decision to receive Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour activates the spiritual odyssey of SALVATION which begins in time and continues in ETERNITY. A daily regime of fellowship with God studying and meditating with prayer on Holy Scriptures will ensure steady growth,  strength and guidance for the journey, “Thou wilt SHEW ME THE PATH OF LIFE: in thy presence is FULNESS OF JOY; at thy right hand there are PLEASURES for evermore” [Psalms 16:11] HAVE A WORD WITH GOD TODAY, tomorrow may be too late, the appearance of the Lord is so close; He is at the door, “Behold, I STAND AT THE DOOR, and knock: if any man HEAR MY VOICE, and OPEN THE DOOR, I WILL COME IN to him, and will sup with him, and he with me” [Revelation 3:20]

“Holding faith, and a good conscience; which some having put away concerning faith have made shipwreck” 1 Timothy 1:19

“… Jesus Christ might shew forth all LONGSUFFERING, for a PATTERN to them which should hereafter BELIEVE …” 1 Timothy 1:16

1. LIGHT OF DARKNESS is hard to imagine, as there are no two things as disparate as LIGHT and DARKNESS. We have our natural eyes which are blind without light and God, in His infinite wisdom also made provision in Jesus Christ for SPIRITUAL EYES to engage realities of His Kingdom, “… EXCEPT a man be BORN AGAIN, HE CANNOT SEE the kingdom of God” [John 3:3] Our physical eyes come with NATURAL BIRTH, our SPIRITUAL EYES are received at NEW BIRTH; we are BORN AGAIN with EYES equipped to SEE and UNDERSTAND things of God. Our SPIRITUAL EYES are enlightened in daily fellowship with Christ to SEE and WALK with God through prism of LIGHT OF LIFE, “Then SPAKE JESUS again unto them, saying, I am the LIGHT OF THE WORLD he that FOLLOWETH ME shall NOT WALK IN DARKNESS, but shall have the LIGHT OF LIFE” [John 8:12] We SEE through the EYES of God and FOLLOW in footsteps of His Christ and DARKNESS is no barrier as it is to those without Christ [John 1:5] If men made infrared goggles to see at night, it is no surprise Satan also offer LIGHT OF DARKNESS to those who will walk with him, “But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the LIGHT THAT IS IN THEE BE DARKNESS, how great is that darkness!” [Matthew 6:23]

2. LIGHT OF DARKNESS is as fatal attraction of a mirage in the desert,  a dazzling optical inversion of TRUTH. Jesus Christ is the TRUTH, the LIGHT OF LIFE and the WORD which was God, and at the appointed time revealed in flesh and blood, “In the BEGINNING WAS THE WORD, and the WORD WAS WITH GOD, and the WORD WAS GOD. And the WORD WAS MADE FLESH, and dwelt among us …” [John 1&14] In the beginning was the WORD, that is, the WORD was ever synonymous with God; Whosoever has the WORD and obey it, has the LIFE of God. That was the template presented to Adam, “But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not EAT OF IT: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt SURELY DIE” [Genesis 2:17] The WORD was with God, the LIGHT of LIFE over Adam and Eve and ultimate PROTECTION as long as they kept His commandment. We may never know how long they kept the WORD, then came along the Serpent and the woman said: “But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, GOD HATH SAID, Ye shall NOT EAT of it, neither shall ye TOUCH it, lest YE DIE” [Genesis 3:3] The woman remembered quite well what God said and obviously dissatisfied with God’s standard of RIGHTEOUSNESS and VERDICT of death, was open to “SEE THINGS DIFFERENTLY”, and the Serpent was conveniently at hand to offer LIGHT OF DARKNESS.

3. LIGHT OF DARKNESS is EVIL painted as GOOD, a very present snare as long as we are in this body, “Wherefore let him that THINKETH HE STANDETH TAKE HEED LEST HE FALL” [1 Corinthians 10:12] It strikes as a flash of lightning, coating hidden things of darkness in pleasant colours and ascribing them to God, “… GOD DOTH KNOW that in the day ye eat thereof, then your EYES SHALL BE OPENED, and ye shall be as gods, knowing GOOD and EVIL” [Genesis 3:4-5] LIGHT OF DARKNESS does not deny existence of God and quick to profuse adoration, it retreads His WORD to suit human sensibilities; making a difference between God and His WORD, “And when the woman saw that the tree was GOOD FOR FOOD, and that it was PLEASANT TO THE EYES, and a tree to be desired to MAKE ONE WISE, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, …” [Genesis 3:6] Take note, Adam and Eve in their DISOBEDIENCE did not deny existence of God or His GOODNESS; they remained in His Garden, reveling in ungodly interpretation of His WORD.  Can we in good conscience deny LIGHT OF DARKNESS in our Churches? Our pulpits overflow with strange interpretation of Scriptures and have replaced sure PROMISE of ETERNAL LIFE with a rat race of crass materialism [1 John 2:25-26] Be warned, those who inflame fleshly lusts in you for earthly things pretend to love you more than God does to liquidate your SPIRIT, “For the kingdom of God is not MEAT and DRINK; but RIGHTEOUSNESS, and PEACE, and JOY in the Holy Ghost” [Romans 4:17]

4. LIGHT OF DARKNESS is a conveyor belt to “DEPTHS OF SATAN”, “But unto you I say, …  as many as have not this DOCTRINE, and which have not known the DEPTHS OF SATAN; …” [Revelation 2:24] A seemingly harmless mishandling of the WORD of God for self-gratification opens the portal to hidden pleasures of DARKNESS and as Eve testified, it is “… desired to MAKE ONE WISE, … and did EAT” [Genesis 3:6] This strange desire for “ILLUMINATION” outside the WORD of God is resolved in MYSTICISM in which some are fallen, holding Bible in the day and in secret hobnobbing with devils, “For it is a SHAME even to speak of those THINGS WHICH ARE DONE OF THEM IN SECRET” [Hebrews 5:11] When they speak, it is to seduce with vanities of this world, they promise “LIBERTY’ from vagaries of the earth but themselves are slaves of rulers of darkness of this world. Those whose EYES are enlightened by LIGHT OF LIFE have a sacred duty not to fall into DEPTHS OF SATAN; it is a BLACK HOLE, there is no escape, “For it is IMPOSSIBLE for those who were once ENLIGHTENED, and have tasted of the HEAVENLY GIFT, and were made partakers of the HOLY GHOST … If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance” [Hebrews 6:4-6] Accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour, and receive the LIGHT OF LIFE. amen

“… Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat: But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not …” Luke 22:31-32

1. SEASON OF INTIMIDATION is creeping on us as shadows; shadows of appointment of the present world with the SON OF MAN. And as to the SEASON, we have His Word, “But as the DAYS OF NOE were, so shall also the COMING of the SON OF MAN” [Matthew 24:37] SON OF MAN is God in Jesus Christ reconciling us to Himself before appointment date; God became like us in Jesus Christ that we may be like Him, “For IN HIM DWELLETH all the FULNESS OF THE GODHEAD bodily” [Colossians 2:9] His COMING is fulfilment of His Promise to return and receive to His heavenly abode all who received the GOSPEL preached in His name, “And if I go and prepare a place for you, I WILL COME AGAIN, and RECEIVE YOU UNTO MYSELF; that WHERE I AM, there YE MAY BE also” [John 14:3] As many as have their APPOINTMENT with Christ make themselves ready, diligently searching Holy Scriptures His WILL and leave no stone unturned to be received of Him, “Looking for that BLESSED HOPE, and the GLORIOUS APPEARING of the GREAT GOD and our Saviour JESUS CHRIST” [Titus 2:13] As many as are so minded take more than cursory interest in “DAYS OF NOE” searching for precepts and clues of His “GLORIOUS APPEARING”

2. DAYS OF NOAH, NOE is the same as NOAH, were times of such WICKEDNESS, God resolved to wipe the slate clean, “And GOD saw that the WICKEDNESS of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the THOUGHTS OF HIS HEART was only EVIL CONTINUALLY. … I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; …” [Genesis 6:5] GODLINESS was virtually extinct and “EVIL” ruled in the hearts of men and such WICKEDNESS as was far beyond human nature; there were GIANTS on earth in those days, a “MINGLED SEED”, “There were GIANTS in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the SONS OF GOD came in unto the DAUGHTERS OF MEN, and they bare children to them, the same became MIGHTY MEN which were of old, MEN OF RENOWN” [Genesis 6:4] They were “SONS OF GOD”, FALLEN SPIRITS who took the form of men and sired an army of “MIGHTY MEN”, who through INTIMIDATION took CONTROL of the earth and forced their will on men, “But NOAH FOUND GRACE in the eyes of the LORD” [Genesis 6:8] A similar but worse scenario is playing out in our time as “MEN OF RENOWN” fight, no holds barred, for CONTROL of the earth. Prophet Daniel saw it coming, “And whereas thou sawest iron mixed with miry clay, they shall MINGLE THEMSELVES WITH THE SEED OF MEN: but they SHALL NOT CLEAVE ONE TO ANOTHER, even as iron is not mixed with clay” [Daniel 2:43] They are here, call them what you like, ALIENS, EXTRA TERRESTRIALS, etc.

3. As we slipped from LAST DAYS to END-TIMES when Israel retuned to the PROMISED LAND, the “MINGLING” foretold in Daniel 2:43 became evident. A clutch of nations with help from “ALIENS” as they are now called, went from powerful to SUPER POWERS. Today, five nations own more than fifty percent of the world’s wealth! MEN OF RENOWN sired by fallen spirits are in our midst, and the agenda is GLOBAL CONTROL; exterminate all traces of GODLINESS through INTIMIDATION and establish on earth a “NEW NORMAL” where GOOD is EVIL and EVIL is accounted GOOD, “Woe unto them that CALL EVIL GOOD, AND GOOD EVIL; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!” [Isaiah 5:20] SOFT INTIMIDATION comes first, through MANIPULATION of AIRWAVES; you will be shocked to know how few the people who CONTROL access to what we SEE, HEAR and READ. We now live in a GLOBAL VILLAGE, KNOWLEDGE is much increased and wired as FILTERED INFORMATION around the globe by TITANS having monopoly of SEARCH ENGINES and SOCIAL MEDIA, “But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the TIME OF THE END: many shall run to and fro, and KNOWLEDGE SHALL BE INCREASED” [Daniel 12:4] We are gradually slipping into a “NEW NORMAL” in preparation for the MAN OF SIN, “Even him, WHOSE COMING IS AFTER THE WORKING OF SATAN with all power and signs and lying wonders” [2 Thessalonians 2:9]

4. Be not deceived, there are MINGLED SEED in our Churches, “But while men slept, his ENEMY came and SOWED TARES AMONG THE WHEAT, and went his way” [Matthew 13:25] They are MEN OF RENOWN celebrated for perceived “SUCCESS”, in reality wolves in sheep clothing. With larger than life stature and humongous riches, they pile EMOTIONAL PRESSURE on the poor to accept their poisoned chalice of “WATERED GOSPEL”, “… they are the ENEMIES OF THE CROSS of Christ: Whose end is destruction, WHOSE GOD IS THEIR BELLY, and whose glory is in their SHAME, who MIND EARTHLY THINGS.)” [Philippians 3:18-19] When they speak of Christ, it is a false Christ that abhors the CROSS and conforms to the NEW NORMAL. They are full and ripe before harvest, ready to “FALL AWAY” and be received by the MAN OF SIN, “Let no man deceive you by any means: for THAT DAY shall not come, except there come a FALLING AWAY FIRST, and that MAN OF SIN be revealed, the SON OF PERDITION” [2 Thessalonians 2:3] The growing rally of diverse RELIGIONS to foster GLOBAL PEACE through UNITY of all “FAITHS” is the religious arm of the NEW WORLD ORDER earnestly preparing for the SON OF PERDITION. All we have standing between us and MAN OF SIN is the appearance of Christ. When he does come out of hiding, SOFT INTIMIDATION shall be replaced with NAKED FORCE. Beloved, Christ’s appearance is ever more imminent than ever, accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour, and stand firm till the end, amen

What a world we live in, CONFIDENCE IN HOPE is what you need

“… A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine” Revelation 6:6

1. TESTIMONY OF DEVILS, invokes a seeming mismatch of words; TESTIMONY, meaning affirmation of TRUTH and DEVILS, embodiment of FALSEHOOD. The contradiction underscore popular but erroneous understanding of operation of devils; not a few will speedily conclude devils do not believe in ONE GOD, they do, “Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the DEVILS ALSO BELIEVE, and tremble” [James 2:19] Take note, Satan is not at war against God but against you. Yes, there was in heaven, it was between ANGELS, “And there was WAR IN HEAVEN: MICHAEL AND HIS ANGELS fought AGAINST the dragon; and the DRAGON FOUGHT and HIS ANGELS” [Revelation 12:7] Satan is errant Son, convicted and his incarceration delayed [Revelation 20:10-14] He has a little time left and does come around to present himself to God!, “Now there was a day when the SONS OF GOD CAME TO PRESENT THEMSELVES before the LORD, and SATAN CAME ALSO among them” [Job 1:6] If you will not acknowledge these basic truths, how shall you see through and prevail against TESTIMONY OF DEVILS, “If thou hast run with the footmen, and they have wearied thee, then how canst thou contend with horses? …” [Jeremiah 12:5]
2. TESTIMONY OF DEVILS is best illustrated thus, “And there was in their SYNAGOGUE a man with an UNCLEAN SPIRIT; and he cried out, SAYING, Let us alone; what have we to do with thee, thou JESUS OF NAZARETH? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art, the HOLY ONE OF GOD” [Mark 1:23-24] Watch closely, the UNCLEAN SPIRIT seemed to have TESTIFIED of Jesus, saying, “JESUS OF NAZARETH and “HOLY ONE OF GOD”. It was vintage demonic manipulation; presenting FACT as TRUTH as BAIT to DECEIVE. And how quickly Jesus shut him down, “And JESUS REBUKED HIM, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out of him” [Mark 1:25] DEMONS are incapable of confessing TRUTH. Compare with Jesus’s entrance to Jerusalem and the inspired chorus of the people, in agreement with Luke 2:14, “Saying, Blessed be the KING that cometh in the NAME OF THE Lord: PEACE in heaven, and GLORY in the highest” [Luke 19:38] Whereas Jesus sharply rejected the TESTIMONY OF DEVILS in Mark 1:23-24, He endorsed the WITNESS in Luke 19:38 as true reflection of the mind of God. TESTIMONY OF DEVILS promote the VISIBLE above the INVISIBLE; miracles, riches, fame, etc., above revelation of TRUTH of the FATHER in the SON which alone SAVES. It is unfortunately so through the ages that witness of TRUTH was never popular in top echelons of the Church even Jesus’ time, “And he answered and said unto them, I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the STONES WOULD IMMEDIATELY CRY OUT” [Luke 19:39-40] And TESTIMONY OF DEVILS had never been louder than now.
3. TESTIMONY OF DEVILS is WITCHCRAFT in the Church, working multitudes are into a frenzy of delusion, to believe LIES. The charade of falsehood is promoted and justified by enthusiastic expression of approval by victims and vaults filled with filthy spoils of earthly possessions, “… Ye are they which JUSTIFY YOURSELVES BEFORE MEN; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly ESTEEMED AMONG MEN IS ABOMINATION in the sight of God” [Luke 16:15] Is it possible to be approved of men and justified by God? I think not. We have today, as in the days of Noah, “MEN OF RENOWN” in our churches who profess to be Sons of God but speak in contrast to prophetic truth of the age even as their predecessors rejected Noah [Genesis 6:4, 13-22] When they speak, it is of earthly things, inflaming their prey with LUST, “For when they speak great swelling WORDS OF VANITY, they allure through the LUSTS OF THE FLESH, through much wantonness, those that were clean escaped from them who live in error” [2 Peter 2:18] When they make mention of Christ, it is not to draw men to Him but to themselves; their victims are become like them and not as Jesus, “Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Ye shall KNOW THEM BY THEIR FRUITS. Do men gather GRAPES of THORNS, or FIGS of THISTLES?” [Matthew 7:15-16] Look around, the harvest is ripe, FRUITS are the congregations we raised in the last 20 to 30 years; are we not as our Pastors?
4. TESTIMONY OF DEVILS is demonic power masquerading as the power of God in the Church. The classic case was Simon in Samaria, who “… BEWITCHED THE PEOPLE of Samaria, giving out that himself was some great one: To whom they ALL GAVE HEED, from the least to the greatest, saying, THIS MAN IS THE GREAT POWER OF GOD” [Acts 8:9-10] As long as they believed him, they were bewitched to think to approach God with abomination of TESTIMONY OF DEVILS. If I may ask, is the same tragic drama not playing out before our very eyes? Multitudes in search of deliverance and comfort are daily ensnared with sorcery to believe LIES and prophecy is fulfilled, “But evil men and SEDUCERS shall wax worse and worse, DECEIVING, and being DECEIVED” [2 Timothy 3:13] Beloved, let no man deceive you with miracles, promises of earthly riches or predictions contrary to scriptural prophetic dateline. Hold on to your profession of Christ, who is God revealed and do due diligence to be established in PRESENT TRUTH. Watch and pray, the Lord will appear without further notice to receive His BRIDE, “Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not PROPHESIED IN THY NAME? and in thy name have CAST OUT DEVILS? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity” [Matthew 7:21-23]

J1. Life is a marathon we all RUN with keen desire to WIN. It is a marathon like no other, the race is not won by the SWIFT or STRONG, “… the RACE IS NOT TO THE SWIFT, nor the battle to the STRONG, neither yet bread to the WISE, nor yet riches to men of UNDERSTANDING, nor yet favour to men of SKILL; but TIME and CHANCE HAPPENETH TO THEM ALL” [Ecclesiastics 9:11] Whereas SWIFT, STRONG, WISE, SKILL and UNDERSTANDING are fine qualities, much desirable to RUN TO WIN, TIME and CHANCE overrides them all. TIME, in this context, illustrates the SEASONS of God’s PLAN for the present world and CHANCE, the intrusive manipulation of Satan in human affairs. If you will RUN TO WIN in the New Year, acquaint yourself with “CERTAINTIES” of DIVINE AGENDA and determine not to be distracted by disruptive activities of the WICKED ONE. As we step into the New Year, I challenge you to RUN with confidence in CERTAINTY of God’s infallible TIMETABLE to prevail over all disruptive UNCERTAINTIES, “… I am God, and there is none like me, Declaring the END from the BEGINNING, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, MY COUNSEL SHALL STAND, and I will do all my pleasure” [Isaiah 46:9-10]

2. Factors that affected every age and year were predetermined from the foundation of the world; the interplay of God’s AGENDA to make man the jewel of creation and doomed antics of Satan to derail it. There is a time allotted and it is fast running out, “… Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a SHORT TIME” [Revelation 12:12] Mounting instabilities of previous years will not go away, they are signs the “SHORT TIME? Is finally running out. The race is now more urgent than ever before, as Satan rides the PALE HORSE for his last stand, “… a PALE HORSE: and his name that sat on him was DEATH, and HELL followed with him. And power was given unto them over the FOURTH PATH of the earth, to KILL with SWORD, and with HUNGER, and with death, and with the BEASTS of the earth” [Revelation 6:8] As you settle into the New Year, RUN as one who knows the LAST DAYS of this dying world are here; governments and government leaders will chorus peace but the SWORD will be relentless, FAMINE shall trigger HUNGER riots and long-forgotten “BEASTS”, I mean viruses portend PESTILENCE. Here is the GOOD NEWS for those who will RUN TO WIN, “And when these things begin to come to pass, then LOOK UP, and LIFT UP YOUR HEADS; for your REDEMPTION DRAWETH NIGH” [Luke 21:28]

3. This year, determine to RUN as one who knows we are on the LAST LAP; the race is not won and may be lost at the slightest distraction, “Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth TAKE HEED lest he fall” [1 Corinthians 10:12] First thing, you want to get kitted for victory, the only chance you have of overtaking the disastrous conspiracies of the adversary is to be BORN of God, “For whatsoever is BORN OF GOD overcometh the world: and this is the victory that OVERCOMETH THE WORLD, even our FAITH” [1 John 5:4] If you are not BORN AGAIN, the weariness and frustrations of previous years would be child’s play as the days go by, “If thou hast RUN with the FOOTMEN, and they have WEARIED thee, then how canst thou CONTEND WITH HORSES?” [Jeremiah 12:5] If you are in Christ and He in you, raise your antenna to discern fatal deception circulating on social media and highest echelons of religious leadership. The LIES are aggravated by global distress and heightened expectations of the appearance of the Lord, “Let no man DECEIVE you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a FALLING AWAY first, and that MAN OF SIN BE REVEALED, the son of perdition” [2 Thessalonians 2:3] Beloved, it is the LAST LAP, keep your eyes on the finish line and the crown that awaits us at Christ’s appearance , “Beloved, now are we the SONS of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, WE SHALL BE LIKE HIM; for we shall see him as he is” [1 John 3:2]

4. it’s a New Year and all are rearing to RUN, one thing is certain, the days ahead will try our hidden thoughts and secret desires of the heart. I charge you to add tons of PATIENCE to whatever you already have; not a few shall lose PATIENCE along the way and “FALL AWAY”, “For ye have need of PATIENCE, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might RECEIVE THE PROMISE” [Hebrews 10:36] Our FAITH in Prophetic WORD of TRUTH, it’s going to be a busy year and many things will happen that would seem to contradict the order of DIVINE AGENDA, you must not be deceived or distracted, “STUDY to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, RIGHTLY DIVIDING the WORD of TRUTH” [2 Timothy 2:15] If you will RUN TO WIN, prepare your heart for ill-treatment, the time has come when those who persecute you will saying they are doing God’s work, “They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that whosoever KILLETH YOU will think that HE DOETH GOD SERVICE” [John 16:2] Finally, prepare your heart for all eventualities, not the least betrayals by family, false brethren, close associates and governments; pray for GRACE to ENDURE to the end, “But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved” [Matthew 24:13]

DILEMMA OF CHRISTMAS, many questions and many answers befuddle the TRUTH

“… be of good cheer; thy sins be forgiven thee” Matthew 9:2
