Don’t Toy With What Is Happening Now!

What is your interpretation of the things happening in the world? Your perspective and response to the unfolding events in the world will determine what effect or impact they will have on you now and in the future. This post is a product of insights, reflections and understanding of the message preached by Dr David Oyedepo during the annual gathering of Living Faith Church members worldwide, which was called ‘Shiloh 2016’, and it admonishes that you prepare for your exemption during this dark season.

For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the Lord shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee – Isaiah 60:2 (KJV)

For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many. And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars….For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places. All these are the beginning of sorrows – Matthew 24: 5-8 (NKJV).

Darkness is come already. It is gross darkness that is yet to come. If you can’t handle the darkness, gross darkness will overwhelm you. The question that was asked and I throw back to you was ‘what are you doing to be exempted?’ Mathew 24: 5-8 listed certain evil events that will happen before the second coming of Christ and the end of the age (Matthew 24:3). A lot have come and are coming to pass and many more will still come to pass.  Interestingly, Jesus said the list is just the beginning of sorrows. What are you doing to escape these sorrows?

Many Christians don’t read the handwriting on the walls of times, instead they complain, murmur and join the world in reacting negatively. You are to take a different approach and ensure that no matter what happens, it will not come near you (Psalm 91:7). You are not to fear what the world fears (1 Peter 3:14) nor say what they say, instead when they are cast down you are to be saying there is a lifting up (Job 22:29)

A time is coming when there will be no hiding place but in God. You are not to toil with what is happening now. Testimonies are not accidents but raw products of applied revelation. Your exemption will not come out of agenda but according to applied revelation. It is time to fortify your position in Christ and apply the word of God as a lifestyle. Read more...
