See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise, redeeming the
time, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be unwise, but understand what
the will of the Lord is.{ Ephesians 5;16-17 }
So be careful how you live, not as fools but as those who are wise. Make the
most of every opportunity for doing good in these evil days.  Don't act
thoughtlessly, but try to understand what the Lord wants you to do. {nlt}
 
 
Redeeming the time, because the days are evil. Recently I was in Africa watching
World news as a French reporter showed some video clips of Christians being
driven from their homes and killed by Hindu sect in India .Christian in India
are being persecuted and killed for following Jesus Christ .Something they do
not show you on your American television  sets .
 
When He opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had
been slain for the word of God and for the testimony which they held. And they
cried with a loud voice, saying, "How long, O Lord, holy and true, until You
judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth?" Then a white robe
was given to each of them; and it was said to them that they should rest a
little while longer, until both the number of their fellow servants and their
brethren, who would be killed as they were, was completed.{ Revelations 6; 9-11
}
 
After the news regarding the Christians , The Iranian President
Ahmadinejad.spoke at the United Nations .USA and Israel representatives were not
there .As he spoke against the USA and Israel and the United Nations applauding
him . Something they do not show you on your American television  sets .
 
In Africa , Nigeria many Nigerians are Christians .As I witness many Nigerians
reading their bibles on the plane .I met more Christians who were part of our
security team as one of them  held in her hand a paper quoting a few of the
Psalms . As Christian martyrs are being killed so are many coming to know Jesus
Christ in the world .
 
And there will be signs in the sun, in the moon, and in the stars; and on the
earth distress of nations, with perplexity, the sea and the waves roaring; men's
hearts failing them from fear and the expectation of those things which are
coming on the earth, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken..{ Luke
21;25-26 }
 The courage of many people will falter because of the fearful fate they see
coming upon the earth, because the stability of the very heavens will be broken
up.{nlt }
 
As I travel the world I see the fear in the eyes of men , they are fearful and
cold towards one another as I saw a woman fall down in the airport ,and only a
few stopped to help as the crowd rushed on by to busy with their own welfare and
lives .
 
And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold…
{ Matthew 24;12 }..People are afraid for one another , even to help another  .
selfishness is everywhere , people completely consumed with themselves and their
own safety and welfare . … and you will be hated by all nations for My name's
sake. And then many will be offended, will betray one another, and will hate one
another.{ Matthew 24 ;9-10 }
 
Christians are being hated and rejected by this world because the end is coming
.
But he who endures to the end shall be saved. And this gospel of the kingdom
will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the
end will come.
{ Matthew 24;13 }
 
'Thus says the Lord: "Behold, what I have built I will break down, and what I
have planted I will pluck up, that is, this whole land.  And do you seek great
things for yourself? Do not seek them; for behold, I will bring adversity on all
flesh," says the Lord. "But I will give your life to you as a prize in all
places, wherever you go."
{ Jeremiah 45; 4-5 }
 
Are you seeking great things for yourself? Don't do it!..Do not seek them but
understand what the will of the Lord is .
Redeeming the time, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be unwise, but
understand what the will of the Lord is .Seek the Lord  , surrender your will ,
be patient and set your desires and ambitions on objectives outside yourself in
the interest of others .God’s will is in other people not in yourself
