Daily devotion – The urgency of the hour!

Pastor Keith   -  

Matthew 24:6-9
And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not alarmed, for this must take place, but the end is not yet. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be famines and earthquakes in various places. All these are but the beginning of the birth pains.
“Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and put you to death, and you will be hated by all nations for my name’s sake.

Having now arrived back from the Calvary Chapel Pastors Conference, what was most significant coming from the gathering of pastors at this time was the highlighting to all believers the ‘urgency of the hour’ we find ourselves living in.

Since the government’s around the world ‘found’ the power – the ‘need’ so they all declared to close Churches down across the world for a virus, there now has now been a beachhead established for the constraint of the Gospel and the worship of the Lord Jesus Christ by a secular world society.

Abortion now being legislated for full term pregnancies in the USA by the Democrat party, the continued dismantling of the terms defining man, woman, marriage and family into ‘whatever one identifies with or selfishly seeks to do are all part of a focused attack on the Church of Jesus Christ. Jesus warned us these days would come and the evil would increase in time with their malicious perverse attack on all that Gods Word declares is righteous.

The Christian music group Leeland published a song called the “Tears of the Saints”  back in 2006,

There are many prodigal sons
On our city streets, they run
Searching for shelter
There are homes broken down
People’s hopes have fallen to the ground
From failures
This is an emergency
We find ourselves living in a time of a Gospel emergency.
Since the attack on Israel on October 7, along with the massive rise of anger and hatred against the Jewish nation, God’s chosen people, there has at the same time been an enormous move against the teaching of Gods Word without compromise with the aim of declaring Gods Word to be eventually defined as “hate speech” by a world that demands tolerance except for Israel and the Body of Christ.

It’s an emergency! I pray that the Lord will open our eyes to the condition that our world truly is in and the time of where we are according to Bible prophecy.
