[Jude 1:17-23 KJV] “But, beloved, remember ye the words which were spoken before of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ; [18] How that they told you there should be mockers in the last time, who should walk after their own ungodly lusts. [19] These be they who separate themselves, sensual, having not the Spirit”. [20] “But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost, [21] Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life. [22] And of some have compassion, making a difference: [23] And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh”.
We have been discussing doing the first works because you have been ignited to do the first works. We have learnt that many fall from their first love because they lack spiritual understanding as a result of being blinded. The second reason people fall from their first love is when their souls get vexed and contaminated from the mockery and extreme wicked they see every day.
The Bible teaches us that in the last days there will be mockers; people who walk according to their own lust, people who separate themselves, and people who are sensual and have not the Spirit. These people shall abound in the last days. In the last days, which are here with us; many people mock godliness and walk after their own lust. We are already experiencing that, men have become sensual and without the Spirit.
These last days shall be full of mockers who walk after their lust and make us feel stupid for obeying God. Beware! Many shall come who will mock and mock and mock, but you must not allow their mockery to get to you. You must stay focussed and run the race set before you.
1. Build up yourself on your most holy faith:
The first secret to surviving the last days is to build up yourself on your most Holy faith. You will not survive these last days of you don’t build up yourself on your faith. It takes roots to withstand mockery. You must be convinced if you will survive. Faith comes and grows by hearing and hearing by the word of God.
2. Pray in the Holy Ghost more and more:
This is one of the main master keys to surviving the last days. Praying in the Holy Ghost builds up your spirit man and makes you stronger. There is no way you can survive these last days if you don’t learn how to pray more in the Holy Ghost. He that prays in an unknown tongue speaks mysteries unto God. We must form the habit of praying more in the Holy Ghost. This is a secret to surviving these last days of mockers.
3. Keep yourself in the love of God; while you look for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ:
You will survive the last days when you learn to trust God for mercy. It is by the mercies of the Lord that we are not consumed. It takes mercy to be saved. You must keep yourself in the love of the Lord. Focus on loving and trusting God; that is how you will survive the last days.
4. Reach out to save some:
Getting involved in soul-winning is a key to saving your own soul. Soulwinning is a weapon to save your own soul. It is important, however, to remember that there are some you can only help or save if you have compassion on them, that is the only way you can make a difference in their lives. Sometimes, it’s so difficult to live with them, you just have to have compassion. There are still many more we must save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh. The real reason being that while you try to save them, they are trying to pull you into their filth. You cannot be an effective evangelist if you don’t hate the garments spotted by the flesh.
I pray that you can survive the pitfalls of these last days and press on to the top. You must work hard to survive. I know that the Lord will keep you, and you will make it.
Be blessed, I love you!
