THE ANTI-CHRIST REVEALED- 2 THESSOLANIANS 2:1-17. PART 1

Okay guys we are going spiritual today... PLEASE read to the end.
People often ask the questions "when will Christ return''?  "Since the days of our forefathers, we have been hearing of the 'soon' coming of the great Judge", "Our fathers are dead and we are yet to see him, do we give up on the wait"? 
Well.... Apostle Paul's response is that you should not be deceived, Christ will not come until there is a falling away first and that man of sin, the antichrist is revealed. 2 Thessolanians 2:3

What is a falling away? It is the departure from the teaching of the Gospel of Christ which is Repentance and the Kingdom of God, Matt 9:35. (Righteousness, Peace, Joy in the Holy Ghost. Rom 14:17). It is the departure from the teachings of the early Apostles which majored on repentance, maintaining one's Salvation and Righteous living. 
Now that is the exact opposite of what we learn today. Today's gospel is more of Good Success, Prosperity, Abundance, Wealth, etc plus very little of Salvation. In fact Salvation is at the end of the main message.  Pastors have become motivational speakers and motivational speakers have become pastors because their message and the pulpit message are the same.
Have you ever seen a person who consumes fast food junks-High calorie carbohydrates, fats, sugar, sweets, sodium etc. that is not good nutrition at all, watch out, sooner or later there will be breakdown of that body system.
As a matter of fact, when the shepherd leave the substance to major on the chaff, then the sheep becomes  fat with sweet junk which gives them a false sense of assurance and security.  Isaiah 6:10

Apostle Paul says there must be a falling away and the man of sin which is the antichrist be revealed.
Now we know that before a thing is revealed, then it must have been hidden.  Read Paul's next statement which is rather alarming:
"Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshiped; so that   he as God sitteth in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God." (KJV)
The man of sin, the antichrist is hidden, not yet revealed in his very true nature but he is working and posing as God in the churches!!! He is the spirit in the churches today that does not allow deep salvation messages to be preached. Worshipers get easily irritated with messages of righteousness and develop itchy ears for junks.
2 Timothy 4:3-4.

Let me reveal something to you- The trick of the man of sin. A Pastor will come on the platform and preach sweet junks, (if you eat fast food remember junk is sweet; Hamburgers, Meat-pie, Doughnut, Puff-Puff, etc). At the end of the sweet junk there will be an altar call. Is that the Gospel message? Plenty of Junk and spice it a little with the Salvation altar call. You get the trick?

That accounts for the high rate of worldliness, immorality and unrighteousness among Christians today.
Christians do not feed regularly on spiritual green  leafy vegetables, nuts, grains, fruits, lean meat and water but on sweet junks. You are what you eat. We need to be reminded everyday of the impending Judgement, Mercy and Grace.
Now how do expect one to live above sin every day with these kind of messages. You get it?

The word should be preached in season and out of season. It shouldn't be reserve for Tuesday Bible Study alone. Pastors use 30minutes or less to preach, Jesus sat for three days preaching to the people the message of the kingdom without them realizing they were even hungry. Mark 8:1. 

There is a deposit of the Spirit of God in the heart of the new born believer that gives his heart to God. 
God says "And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee saying this is the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the turn hand and when ye turn to the left"  Isaiah 30:21 (KJV)

But you  know the problem, a new born believer knows watching pornography is wrong but because he doesn't hear it from the pulpit, he ignores  the Spirit leading in his heart and continues watching pornography. That applies to the Christian's attitude towards other sins too. Sin is not address in depth and detail. It is paraphrased superfluously on the periphery.

Now that is the spirit of the antichrist  at work, it is yet to be revealed,  but poses as God and is being worshiped in the churches.

ENDSARS Anniversary: A Nation's Rebirth by Lisa Bassey.

Image
  The quest for a Nation's rebirth can almost be likened to the pangs of a woman in labour. It is accompanied by tears, blood, intense pain, and sometimes death.  In October 2020, the youths rose in their numbers to protest against police brutality and to demand that their rights as citizens of Nigeria be upheld and respected. Sadly, it was met with aggressive force by the military and the police, for which some of the unarmed youths paid dearly for with their lives.  I recoiled in pain as I recalled the unfortunate incident which took place on the 20th of October, 2020. The hurt from the wound of this poignant event bleeds within me, forever etched in my memory.  Last year during the first anniversary of ENDSARS, I stated in a deeply moving article titled  In the Web of Political Mystery and Deception  that it was difficult to differentiate truth from farce as a result of the cleverly manipulated mind games and deception from the political class that cou...

History 101: What is your status as a Nigerian citizen living in Nigeria.

Image
In 1960, the Premier of the Northern region and Saurdauna of Sokoto, Ahmadu Bello while being interviewed by a BBC journalist boldly declared that the Nigerian government will first consider Northerners (qualified or not) in government positions. He announced that further consideration would be given to foreigners before  other Nigerians.  Here is the text interview. Interviewer: One thing I have noticed while I have been here is that northerners seem to have the worst form of obsession about the Igbos, could please explain that? Ahmadu Bello: Well, the Igbos are mainly the type of people whose desire is to dominate everybody. If they go to the village or town, they want to monopolise everything in that area. If you put them as a labourer, within a year they will try to emerge as the headman of that camp...and so on...well. We are not alive to their responsibilities because you can see from our modernisation policy that in 1952 when I came here, there weas less Northerners in ...

The sad story of  Kathera is one that breaks many hearts. Living as a woman in Afghanistan, a largely patriarchal society hasn't helped either.  Kathera was sexually and physically abused by her father for 13 years, from age 11 till age 23. Her mom Zainab was beaten and forced to painfully watched the horrifying ordeal.  Kathera got pregnant, endured multiple forced abortions, and had two children for her father. He took one of the babies into the desert where he left it to die.  Kathera's Mom, Zainab unable to bear the abuses anymore took the risk to escape with the children. According to Zahra, nobody listened till she went on TV.  Her father's relations threatened to kill her believing she had brought shame to the family and her death was the only solution. Khatera announcing on National television was a desperate attempt that she knew could have severe consequences in a country where the judiciary system often incriminated women seeking for justice. The abus...
