The body of Christ is on a collision course. The day will come when the fact will be realized that the church has completely fallen away from faith. A day of apostasy, truly a day of sorrow.  But the Lord always keeps a remnant which is good news indeed.

Many will ask, what do you mean the church has fallen away? Look at all the church goers.  l go to church every Sunday, pray and believe in God. But you know what? This is not enough.  The reason being is that a great deception is infiltrating the church of today.  Yes, people do go to church every Sunday, but what happens the rest of the week?  Work, play, eat, sleep, work, eat, play and so on it goes.  Back to church on Sunday to pay your respects to God making you appear respectable, and back to the old same routine, back to your same old self.

So, one has to ask himself… Can one be devoted to the Lord only one day a week? Is one day a week of righteousness really pleasing to the Lord?  I know..I know.. I will say it for you….I am a good person what more does God want?

What God wants is your total surrender….

I  desperately want to be always in God’s will.  When i feel that i am, i am so humbled in the realization of His mighty greatness.  That He would even consider using me to glorify Him, instantly bows me down to his feet to be his servant forever.  How is that when He uses me i feel so humbled?  It is the only way that He can truly use me or you. Daily i ask Him, “Lord, please use me to do your will. I want to please and serve only you. Open doors that you want me to walk through, close doors i am not to enter”.

I encountered a woman who was buying a cross for a friend who she said was “spiritual”.  I know another woman who says that she is not religious but “spiritual”. I know not what she means, but i know that she does not confess Jesus Christ as her Saviour, and i know that she does not read the Bible.  I dare not try to know the heart of others, it is not my place, but it makes me wonder who will be deceived in the end times. Many Christians do not know the word of God anymore and have no discernment whatsoever.

Mat: 24: 4-5 says “…Take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come in my name saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.”

Luke 18:8 “…Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?”

What a horrible question to ponder… when Jesus returns, will he find any believers? Christians who do not know the word of God or who do not have a personal relationship with Him will be deceived.  Listen to a description of the last generation…

II Tim 3:1-2      “This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers…despisers of those that are good…lovers of pleasures more than God, ever learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.”  

Sound familiar? Men shall be lovers of their own selves. This is what is happening in the Word of Faith teaching with the well-known advocates calling themselves, “little gods” and with contemplative spirituality seeking the “god within”. 

Mystical spiritualism, Word of Faith/Prosperity/Health teachings, the blending of paganism with Christianity, Mega churches that do not teach the gospel anymore are all concerns for the church today.

It is a cruel joke that Satan plays…making people believe his lies..that they can have material wealth… heal and save themselves by speaking forth the words, being saved by a  religious system devised by man. What a cruel ending there will be when one gives in to these deceptions. Do not let Satan reign supreme instead of letting the Supreme reign in your life.

Going to church on Sundays is not enough. You need to read and study the Bible daily for yourself.  If you are truly seeking Him and are interacting with the Holy Spirit, the Word will come alive and thrill you, speak to you and give you instruction on how to live for the Lord Jesus Christ. Live each and every moment for Him. Allow the Lord to direct every facet of your life. Let His living gospel change you EVERY DAY and compel you to share this joy and good news with others. 

If you do not study the Bible, and hear his word,  you may fall asleep at the wheel, and what will your fate be?
