After that, just to shake things up, he went to equip himself with religious studies, particularly Christianity, just to have knack about the world beyond the curtains of time. And how this body of Christ has transformed millions of people around the world, not neglecting how sadly the movement has been persecuted from time to time. He now writes full time.

Times getting Hard.

These days you will hear this term often We are living in the end times. Even non-believers and those who are called atheists attest that our generation is different from generations before. And it is the real truth, times are getting harder and harder. That we have to develop a thick skin. With so much at our disposal, there is so much that can bring us down. New technology is emerging. The world is turning into robotic. While it is a good thing, it also comes with shortfalls.  In the days of Noah, there were giants at that time—the hybrid of Angels and humans, called Nephilim.

Even in our day, we are not alone. People in other parts of the world have started mingling with robots. Besides that, the gods of old have returned. We can see through the pattern in culture, tradition, and religious worship. This is the day of all-time high deception. People a deceived. People are going to be deceived. Even the elect of God. Deception is a serious deadly weapon of the end times stemming from the kingdom of darkness. There has always been a conflict between the children of light and the children of the darkness.

But we all know that in the end, light shall prevail. As the Almighty God rose up in the times of Moses, so shall He arise in our time. When God arises, His enemies fall. When God arises, it is a sign of victory. When you read Mathews 24, you can see with your own eyes the prophecies of Jesus Christ unfolding. Rumors of wars are everywhere. Famine has hit the land. Many have received the word from the Lord about global famine, and so am I. It is part and parcel of Mathews 24 prophecies. I will urge you to study this scripture with diligence—allowing the Holy Spirit to unveil the mystery of these prophecies.

Mathews 24:3-4 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him

privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign

of thy coming, and of the end of the world?

4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive

you.

The first thing Christ said "Take heed that no man deceives you". This statement is bigger than the famine, wars, pestilence etc. when you are deceived, it can only take God to take the evil blinders out of your mind and eyes. It pains even the most because deception is already in the body of Christ.  Deception it’s a spiritual evil roots that has to be uprooted. The truth of the Word of Christ is that which set the captives free.

If you attend many of Charismatic prophetic churches, you will know what deception looks like. But again, not all of them. In the body of Christ, it is the doctrine issue.  It is more like a man straying away from the teaching of Christ and Apostles, incorporating other religious dogma of healing and teaching. We see this from African brothers and sisters who are leading masses into doctrines of the devils.

Mathews 24:5-7 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive

many.

6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not

troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.

7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and

there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.

8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.

If you feel like what has happened and what is happening is enough, it is just the beginning. The first weapon of the devil is mass deception to stray many away from the godly path of righteousness. He is fighting to capture many souls from going to the Father at the end of the age. In the realm of the spirit, it is the fight of the gods and goddess. Princes has rose up fighting the anointed and mocking God himself. Cheer up, the Lord God has chosen Zion! We are the Sons and daughters of Mount Zion, built not by men but by
