Wisdom For The Day Devotional 26 April 2024 By Bishop Mike Okonkwo – Turn Away From Evil Men
TOPIC: Turn Away From Evil Men (TREM Devotional 26 April 2024)
“Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.” 2 Timothy 3:5 (KJV)
MESSAGE:
One of the signs of the end time is that people will act religiously but reject the power that could make them godly. Apostle Paul says we should stay away from people like that. Presently, our society is filled with deceivers. But I am glad that the Bible already says that there is a limit to which they can continue with their mess. They will not get away with this for long. Someday, everyone will recognize the deceivers that they are.
Like it or not, in the name of Jesus, every knee will bow. One way or the other! It is either you bow your knee now and acknowledge Jesus as Lord, or I can assure you that someday you will have to bow that knee because He alone has a name that is above every name.
These are dangerous days. So it is important that as children of God, we deploy the full armour and arsenals God gave us. We must deploy everything. We must be brutal in the deployment of what God has given us so that we can navigate our ways. I am trying to get you to see that this world is filled with wickedness.
1 John 5:19 says that “…the whole world lieth in wickedness.” (KJV). So, what are we to do in the midst of this hopelessness? To put the devil where he belongs, you must accept who you have been made in Christ Jesus.
Continue your journey of faith by appropriating all He has done for you. That is what it means to walk in Christ. “As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him: Rooted and built up in him, and establish in the faith as ye have been taught, abounding therein, with thanksgiving. Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.” Colossians 2:6-8 (KJV). So, guard your heart. Stay filled with the Word, and do not company with evil men.
