This world is turning upside down; it is about time!
And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh. Lu 21:28
There are a lot of things happening in these days that shows that the end is upon us and so Christians ought to beware and be ready.
To and Fro!
We are now in a period called ‘to and fro’. Many people are running to and fro around the globe just to make the prophecy come true. The whites are flowing like a waterfall into the African nations just to enter into businesses and civil servants whereas blacks also in the same manner run to their countries to get education, jobs, and a whole lot. Due to this, everywhere in today’s world, we are mixed up in that there is no nation left where a foreigner is not found! Many shall run ‘to’ and ‘fro’ and ‘knowledge shall be increased’.” Dan. 12:4b
Wickedness shall be Increased!
Whereas many are coming to the faith, others are also much busy just increasing wickedness.
“… Go your way, Daniel, because the words are closed up and sealed until the time of the end. Many will be purified, made spotless and refined, but the wicked will continue to be wicked. None of the wicked will understand, but those who are wise will understand.” Dan. 12:9-10.
No wonder there have always been preaching across the media and still wicked people like armed robbers, fornicators, liars, etc., seem to hear nothing about the coming of Christ at all. Whilst many are coming to Christ through the gospel, others have hardened their hearts, plunged themselves into wickedness and continue to increase wickedness on earth as if they were not born by real human beings. Some behave and act like they are demons in human forms (physical demons). None of the wicked has any understanding or knowledge concerning the Lord’s coming and therefore continues to swim in the river of wickedness.
Wars, Rumors of Wars!
Oh, the blood; the blood is like stream ever flowing, the fighting; the fighting is at its peak across the countries, the dying; it is spreading like ‘AIDS’ among the nations! The senseless, wicked invention called War! All because men hate men; because rulers want more territory, more taxes, more slaves, and more power. Presidents and talk abusively and insults in their campaigns degrading their opponents, all because of the love of sin.
The fact of war as an end time future is one of the most essential truths of the prophetic word. More war than usual! God knew long ago that men would in fact get worse and worse, ever glowing more wicked. For that reason he said to Daniel,
“After the sixty-two ‘sevens’, the Anointed one will be cut off and will have nothing. The people of the ruler who will come will destroy the city and the sanctuary. The end will come like a flood: War will continue until the end, and desolations have been decreed.” Dan. 9:26.
The Lord himself said, “Wars and rumors of wars… nation against nation and kingdom against kingdom.” Since the time of the Roman General Titus who destroyed the temple in Jerusalem around 70 AD through the time of the Bishops, Crusaders, down the first and Second World War till, even, now more blood have been and is been spilt than in all human history!
Disobedient Children
As for the disobedient children everyone is experiencing it everywhere. Today’s youth have become so stubborn that we do not know what to do with them! Teachers’ remarks are that the more the days go by, the more the students become uncontrollable! What about the adults and the word of God? It is only the overseers and the Church leaders who can explain well how the Church members have so become disobedient to the word of God. God is our Father and we are his children so if He instructs us through His word and we do not follow, it means we did not obey. How many obeys the message about tithe payment, giving and even attending Church labor, when we are asked to come and clean the Church building? And our children are also doing the same to us!
“But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of good, treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God.” 2 Tim. 3:1-4
Fallen Away From Faith
Drifting! Backsliding! Oh, why are so many people running ‘to and fro’ among churches with their Bibles comfortably under their armpits like that? It’s because men are confused in faith and doctrines! As for the falling away from the faith, it is on its peak in these days. Spiritual backsliding, which has almost always been an evident problem, is increased beyond any previous encounter in order to qualify as an end time characteristic.
Many organized Churches today have prevailed in apostasy, drifting, backsliding etc. It is so bad that Jesus himself is pushed and elbowed aside until he is seen positional outside the very Church he came to establish. Read about the Church in Sardis and Laodicea in Rev. 3:1-6, 14-20. It is a truth almost too sad to express; yet it is the truth.
Many are also leaving their true churches to join other apostasy churches that by canny and crafty means drive people away from the truth thinking and claiming their messages are from God. Many people have appeared on the scene claiming to be teachers and preachers of the gospel, but upon hearing their messages one can conclude that they just came straight away from hell and are purposefully here to lead many people there! I say it weeping and heartbreaking that many are not aware of their arrival and are not recognizing them but rather are heeding to them in their false doctrines claiming to be based on the Bible!
“For the time will come when men will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths.” 2 Tim. 4:3-4. That time is now here with us!
Atheism is on the increase because of science!
Divorce rate is on the increase!
You ask, "Why does he not?" Because the LORD was witness to the covenant between you and the wife of your youth, to whom you have been faithless, though she is your companion and your wife by covenant. Has not the one God made and sustained for us the spirit of life? And what does he desire? Godly offspring. So take heed to yourselves, and let none be faithless to the wife of his youth. "For I hate divorce, says the LORD the God of Israel, and covering one's garment with violence, says the LORD of hosts. So take heed to yourselves and do not be faithless." Mal 2:14-16
The great fallen away of the nations – homosexualism
Let not anyone deceive you by any means. For that Day shall not come unless there first comes a falling away, and the man of sin shall be revealed, the son of perdition, 2Th 2:3
Homosexualism is on the increase, they are forcing their ways into churches, into nations and across the world. This is the very sin that brought Sodom and Gomorra to their ruins and now Satan is using it as his undefeatable weapon against the whole world. Something dogs won’t even do, real human beings are comfortably doing it and are sponsoring it up grows; oh, alas, the end of the world is at hand, Christ is coming soon!
Increase in Spiritualism!
The last but not the least point I am discussing with you is all about the conspicuous increase in spiritualism. In the olden days, long before Christianity took its root in the Gentile’s world, the Gentile nations were deep rooted in idol worshiping, practically, devil worship. And then Christianity began to take its root through the Apostles, and now gradually Christ is mentioned everywhere, whereas idol or devil worship also minimized and now at its bottom in most of the Gentile nations. Satan is very crafty and will not let himself down, he has, therefore, modified the devil worship to suit the standard and orderliness of the Church, and now he is worshipped everywhere! His churches are growing and spreading very rapidly among, especially, the Americans, the Europeans and now in the African countries; they are with us now!
Just imagine a church’s name, ‘church of Satan’, where people have decided to worship the devil! This was founded by a former police photographer and circus performer called Anton LaVey, sometimes called ‘‘the Black Pope’’, in San Francisco, California, in 1966. They have their high Priest and Priestess, Elders and then the members who are highly demonized. Some of the members come from the ranks of doctors, lawyers, magistrates, accountants, politicians, police officers, soldiers, teachers, and some so called men of God! They have their own Bibles that contain chants and incantations, through which they call upon demons to come in their aids and worship them.
Some of their practices include rituals such as animal mutilations, drinking of blood mixed with the Priest’s urine and vomit, sexual orgies such as human and animal affairs, ritualistic rape with chanting, human sacrifices and the eating of raw human organs from a bowl, uncountable abortions, nailing of human being on a cross on what they call black mass days on Easter to mean Christ was defeated on the cross, and many more. All kinds of groups, societies or churches that use incantations and charms are part of them! And they are modernized satanic worship.
Many occult societies have risen in these days and are spreading so fast! Some of them are registered and are been protected by Law so that you can’t speak against or expose them.
Three kinds of Christians
1. Christians that live for themselves alone, they live according to their heart desires and never do what God expects of them, it’s hard to differentiate this group of Christians from the unbelievers
2. Christians that live for both themselves and God, at times they consider the things of God and also consider their heart desires, they fight for their rights in the nation and most at times behave like the unbelievers, spending time watching secular movies, following worldly actors and artist, worldly amusements, etc. they think they have to give to Caesar what belong to Caesar, and to God what belongs to God equally and at the right time.
3. Christians that choose to live for Christ instead of themselves they carry their crosses and follow Christ whole heartedly, fight for others rights instead of theirs, have nothing to do with secular movies, music, amusements, and anything of the world, but concentrating on the race set before them and how to finish that race in victory in order to qualify for the crown in stored for them.
Christ is coming for those who are ready waiting for him!
Lu 12:37 "Blessed are those servants whom the master, when he comes, will find watching. Assuredly, I say to you that he will gird himself and have them sit down to eat, and will come and serve them.
Re 3:5 "He who overcomes shall be clothed in white garments, and I will not blot out his name from the Book of Life; but I will confess his name before My Father and before His angels.

Should christens live in fear of Hell?
Every person on earth must consider the question, "Is there a Hell?" It is an essential question to your life! Are you prepared to answer it? If so, do you believe in a literal Hell where God sends those who do not accept His free gift of salvation? Have you accepted that free gift God is offering you, sparing you from an eternity in Hell? God desires that you spend eternity with Him in heaven, and the aim of this book is that you will reject Hell at all cost!
There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear, because fear has torment. He who fears has not been perfected in love. 1Jo 4:18
Christians in general should not live in fear of Hell, never think that there is a God up there, just waiting for us to commit a sin, so He can punish us and send us to hell. That is not reality, the wrath of God is not meant for Christians but to the unbelievers.
For God has not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ. 1Th 5:9, And to wait for His Son from Heaven (whom He raised from the dead), Jesus, who delivered us from the wrath to come. 1Th 1:10
However, if you know you profess to be Christian by mouth but not by heart, namely, you do not live for Christ but for yourself and only follow your heart desires then beware of Hell because if you do not repent and follow Christ whole heartedly you can end up where you do not want to. Christians always need to know that the book of life is blot-able – your name can be erased once written in it! The one who overcomes, that one will be clothed in white clothing. And I will not blot out his name out of the Book of Life, but I will confess his name before My Father and before His angels. Re 3:5
Pursue peace with all people, and holiness, without which no one will see the Lord: Heb 12:14

Christ Purpose For You And I
That we may receive the Kingdom of God
Christ purpose for us is that we may inherit the Kingdom of heaven, and this is by giving us the Kingdom of God or the rulership of God first.
God sent His Son to come and save mankind and give us the kingdom of God so that in the end we may receive the Kingdom of Heaven. As detailed in my book, “THE KINGDOM OF GOD,” receiving it is the same as receiving the Holy Spirit because the Kingdom of God means the reign, rulership, or the administration of God in us and through us. In other words, the kingdom of God is the reign of God that brings about through Jesus Christ, i.e. the establishment of God’s rule in the hearts and lives of his people, the overcoming of all the forces of evil, the removal from the world of all the consequences of sin – including death and all that diminishes life – and the creation of a new order of righteousness and peace, and this comes by receiving the Holy Spirit; hence anyone who has received the Holy Spirit has received the Kingdom of God, therefore, we Christians are the Kingdom of God on earth. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Mt 6:10
The Kingdom of heaven is the territory or dominion of God in the third heaven where the hosts of heaven – angelic beings, etc, are, and where Christians and the elected Jews shall inherit after the end of days. So Jesus thought us to pray for the kingdom or the rulership of God to come so that His will could be done on earth as it is in heaven.
How to receive the Kingdom of God
How to receive the Kingdom of God is the same as how to receive the Holy Spirit; and this is how to receive salvation, and to receive salvation is to receive the Lord Jesus as your personal savior and confess him as Lord so that immediately you receive Christ in your heart the Holy Spirit comes and indwells you permanently.
Because if you confess the Lord Jesus, and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you shall be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth one confesses unto salvation. For the Scripture says, "Everyone believing on Him shall not be put to shame." Rom 10:9-11
And I will pray the Father, and He shall give you another Comforter, so that He may be with you forever, the Spirit of Truth, whom the world cannot receive because it does not see Him nor know Him. But you know Him, for He dwells with you and shall be in you. John 14:16-17
Jesus told Nicodemus that unless he is born again he can neither see nor enter into the Kingdom of God. He was confused about this statement of Jesus and found it difficult to accept, but this being born again is all about believing in the name of Jesus (not head believe but heart believe) that he is the Messiah and, for that matter, the savior of the world, then the Holy Spirit indwells you and renews your spirit and set you apart for holy living so that you receive the new birth or the regeneration.
And there is salvation in no other One; for there is no other name under Heaven given among men by which we must be saved. Ac 4:12
The moment one receives salvation the Kingdom of God is settled in his heart so he is not a slave to sin but master of righteousness because the righteousness of Christ is given to him/her through the Holy Spirit, and so he/she is ready to manifest the new life in Christ.
For if by one man's offense death reigned by one, much more they who receive abundance of grace and the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by One, Jesus Christ. Rom 5:17
So the purpose of Christ Jesus for us is to give us the Kingdom of God that we may inherit the Kingdom of Heaven in time to come. Even now whoever has the kingdom of God is a citizen of heaven, and if he/she is able to overcome or endures to the end, the same shall inherit it.
"He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. He who overcomes shall not be hurt by the second death." Rev 2:11
God’s Purpose For Sending Christ To The World.
To reconcile us to God
Man broke God’s fellowship with Him through disobedience which brought enmity between God and man. Satan took the dominion of this earth from man and started ruling and controlling things on this earth (as the prince of this world John 12:31, 14:30, 16:11) including human beings. He started manipulating human beings to do his evil deeds which are in enmity of God, so that from generations to generations men remained enemies of God; everyone was doing evil!
And the LORD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. And the LORD repented that He had made man on the earth, and He was angry to His heart. The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence. And God looked upon the earth. And, behold, it was corrupted! For all flesh had corrupted its way upon the earth. Gen 6:5-6, 11-12
God would not wipe men entirely and create another one because by then Satan had got the dominion of the earth and the earth was rightfully his, so God had to preserve Noah and his family so that through their generations he would send his Son to the world and save mankind so that man wouldn’t have to go into the lake of fire where He will cast the fallen angels some time to come. Therefore, God sent Christ to come and redeem you and I, break the enmity between God and us, reconcile us to God that we may continue our oldest friendship or fellowship with God through the Holy Spirit as it was from the very beginning. (To resolve age-old enmities)
And through Him having made peace through the blood of His cross, it pleased the Father to reconcile all things to Himself through Him, whether the things on earth or the things in Heaven. And you, who were once alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now He has reconciled in the body of His flesh through death, to present you holy and without blame, and without charge in His sight. Col 1:20-22
God had come into the world and saved it through the person of Jesus through his cross, provision and forgiveness of sin has been made; God therefore expect you to choose Christ and be saved!
For more about the friendship and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit get my book “THE HOLY SPIRIT.”
